The 24 best spots for Guinness in Dingle

We love Dick Mack's! We have only had amazing experiences here. Excellent service, great ambience, and we always have a good chat with people. My husband also got a belt this time. This was the only souvenir that he wanted and it's beautifully made. Wonderful memories made here on each visit.

Walking Dingle and We notice folks eating and drinking on picnic tables at the end of an alley. Curious and needed hydration we walked back to find Dick Mack’s Pub!! Found the bar got hydration and enjoyed an eclectic moment outside. It was great. Inside I noticed a couple sitting in a small booth facing the bar. I asked if they were giving a confession. Apparently not 😳🫢 Great spot!! Church across the street too 🙏

Great service but way too touristy for us. Don't serve food I think. It's worth seeing once. Guinness wasn't great to be honest. The front snug is gorgeous but the back of bar where toilets are is horribly new. The builder should have been fired. They make personalised leather belts there. They were make some kind of video YouTube thingy in there. Dingle is expensive on par with Dublin prices which is a pity.

What a fabulous pub! One side is a shoe/leather maker and the other is the bar with 2 private ‘booths’ like the old days. We received a friendly welcome by Finn and of course our dog was allowed in without hesitation. Definitely recommend stopping here, we went back again in the evening for another Guinness (it was very nice) and we will be back for sure in the future

Unique and classic pub. Friendly service with good drinks. Well worth a visit to this original treasure .

Gorgeous pub! Lots of rooms for 2 or 10 people! Find your own spot and settle in for the night.

My wife wanted to buy a belt, as the pub is doing a side line in belts. I went off to get some other bits and left her to it. After half an hour I went into Dicks and asked how she was getting on. She was quiet. I got a (non-boozy like and soda, third of a pint, €2:30????), when I turned to talk to my wife she was very quiet. Something was wrong. I asked what colour belt she was after, she told me “black”. Your man making the belts then pipes up; “We have no black.” Nothing else, just that. My wife then got up and left. I abandoned my overpriced softy, and followed. I asked her (maaaa wife) what was going on. She then told me that the master belt whacker, had not even spoken to her. No hello, no, what are you after? Nothing. I cannot help but feel this situation would have been different if she had been a fella waiting with a pint. I suspect your man would have acknowledged me if I had gone in. I felt a hot rage go up my back. I wanted to go back in and have a chat about why these men had been so rude to my wife. Maybe Dicks is after just having men in their boozer, but just ignoring my wife because she is a women is plain rude. So we went to Uisce and the lovely ladies made my wife several bits and a belt. We spent a good chunk of change and left very happy. Stick to pouring beer lads. I remember when I was young this was a good pub. It’s just a tourist trap run by rude locals with a grudge against people who want to spend money. Go to O’Flaherty’s for a pint.

Quite a unique pub. Several separate rooms with original stone walls and even an alleyway. Towards the back, a courtyard open to the sky where smoking was permitted. Plenty of room for us tourists and lively locals to meet.

This was my favorite pub on our trip around Ireland. I originally stopped in because it says they are a hardware store outside and I needed a wrench to fix some camera gear. They ended up fixing it for me for free plus they have a great pint of Guinness on tap. They had a peat moss fire burning too and there was a sheep dog hanging out which liked to play fetch endlessly. Highly recommended!

As I walked in, I half forgot why I was there, was it for a beer or a box of screws? In Australia, you can go to the hardware store for a sausage sandwich, but being able to head in for a beer was next level. Foxy John's bills itself proudly has having a rare dual function of being both a hardware store and a bar, but to be fair, I saw no one buying hardware when I was there. Forgive the one star for the food, I don’t eat or see others eating while I was there. But if you’re after a drink, this place definitely has those. The bar was full of people perched up, enjoying a drink and a chat, I ordered a Guinness, making sure I skulled the first one, and quickly decided I needed a Foxy John’s t-shirt. This is so when I get back home, people will know how cool I am. John Prine’s classic “Angel from Montgomery” was playing at a nice volume over the chatter of the patrons. I quickly ordered a second beer and sat down out the back with our group to debrief on the highlights of the trip to Dingle and Doolin. We’d seen some sights, feed some baby lambs, bought some funky wool socks, and enjoyed some excellent food and whiskey - and now we’d found a quiet spot for a beer and a de-brief in a unique Dingle institution. You come here for the character, the story and probably for a t-shirt. Some people we’d chatted to in Doolin said we had to visit “Foxy John’s” if we were in Dingle, so we did. We enjoyed a pint and a chat and left in search of sustenance. Bunnings in Australia could definitely learn a thing or two from this hardware store with a twist.

Foxy Johns was on my list for Dingle. (Thanks to Rick Steves and a few YouTubers!) Stopped in for a pint with my wife and three sons. It was packed in the front, but one of the bartenders acknowledged me and got back to me in a couple minutes. I sidled up shoulder to shoulder to an elderly man on a stool at the bar. We smiled at each other and I leaned in and said “That's the price you pay for a good seat.” He winked and raised his glass. (Perfect Pub Moment.) We found a table in the back room and played Uno with some other patrons. Loud, and chaotic, but we loved every minute of it!

Great pub! We stopped in for a cider and had a lovely time. Fun that it's a hardware shop/pub combination and service was fantastic.

Hardware store and pub at the sametime, interesting concept. I bought an Irish whiskey and really enjoyed it.

Great pub that also is a hardware store. Recommend to grab a souvenir here while grabbing a pint or 10. Staff were friendly, and Rosie the dog loves to play fetch. We had a great time here, one of the best pubs I stopped in during our 11 night trip across Ireland. Thanks! 🍻

Fabulous spot to enjoy an Irish band and have fun! Great service and congrats to the team here as they are all so friendly and welcoming. Didn’t manage to eat, so can’t comment on food! But the Guinness was great!

Full disclosure Dingle restaurants were packed by 6 PM on Tuesday night. We tried 3 restaurants before trying Dingle Pub. I’ve been in the restaurant business and I witnessed a high volume smooth running machine. Getting guests in, service without feeling rushed, and flipping tables better than most I’ve ever seen. Compliments to the Manager, Servers,Support, Bar, and BOH. All did an outstanding job!! Respects!!!

We arrived late in Dingle, and if you know the roads over here, then you get it. We rushed down to grab some dinner with about 30 minutes left to order for the night. They knocked it out of the park! The food was perfect and hearty, with the ambiance being the standout feature. The place was packed and the moment a table of the food side opened up it was filled again.

The food was great. We enjoyed the easy going atmosphere. One night they even had live music. Would love to go again.

If I could've stayed, I would've. For me, this is the epitome of an Irish pub. And I know others would argue with me, but the Dingle Pub just had the right level of coziness and friendliness for me. People were kind, and the food was delicious. The Irish stew on a rainy day? Yes, please.

What a gloriously ruckus night! The night we went to The Dingle Pub there was live music, and a birthday party. It was shoulder to shoulder, and we stood about 3 feet from the musicians. Birthday guests danced in a circle most of the time we were there. An older woman kept stepping on my foot, which was no bother. I have big feet and she was tiny and apologized incessantly. It just added to the ambiance. This may sound horrible to you, but we loved every minute of it!

Hearty food and a great first experience of white pudding in the salad they have. The Irish stew went down a treat after a long day of driving. Great atmosphere inside and a proper local experience when the live music kicked off! Guinness all over the show and people singing. Just what you want when visiting Ireland. Dingle is the best ❤️

Curran’s Bar in Dingle is a gem—great atmosphere, top-notch pints, and a superb location right on Main Street. It’s got proper charm, blending history with a lively crowd. The Guinness is spot on, and the friendly locals make it a must-visit for a proper Dingle pub

None of the loud music across the road so it gets 5 stars from me. The barmen look like they should be in a Guy Richie movie. Like this place.

Absolute great pub. The inside aesthetic is incredible and what you want from a rural Kerry pub. Bright for a traditional Irish pub and Guinness is fine.

Love these pubs where one side is the bar and the other side is an old shop which is full of history. The lady who served us the best pint of Guinness said she never had never drunk it herself!

Genuine old Irish pub with a lot of local characters. The Guinness was the best I’ve ever had, another level. Soon as you walked in the smell of years gone by. Friendly & intriguing. Sit in the snug.

Super local pub done right.. great staff nice n calm atmosphere.. love it.

Lovely local pub with great Guinness

Lovely place, good vibes and great service

Great pint of guiness really creamy and served at just the right temperature. You can get a pizza across the street and eat it in the bar ... brilliant

We hiked from Annascaul to Dingle in the rain and this was the first pub that caught our eye. I needed a whiskey before heading any further into town to our lodging, and I wanted to dry out a bit. It as late afternoon and most people were sitting in another part of the bar watching the World Cup. We sat at the bar and enjoyed looking around the interesting interior. Lots of wood and stone. An old world feel. The first barman who served us wasn't all that friendly or chatty, but gave us our whiskey and went back to the other side. He may have been at the end of his shift, as shortly afterwards another bartender came to check on us. He was friendlier and visited with us a bit. It's a big place, with lots of nooks and crannies to sit with friends. They had barrel tables set up on the sidewalk for folks wishing to get some fresh air with their drinks.

Really crowded, good vibes, my first night out in a pub in Ireland. I was with locals there so it was great fun, we had a drink and enjoyed the place. The pub is really BIG with an outside part which is great!

YES! This is what a traditional Irish pub is all about! Low ceilings, dark, a warm fire going, Guinness on tap and live music! We loved our post-dinner drinks and entertainment at this pub. Lots of American tourists. Very old pub, super cozy. Come early for good seating. We were there on a weeknight, so I imagine on weekends it probably gets pretty busy.

Now, let me explain. This is a good spot. Fantastic outdoor area, (best in Dingle by far), and it's the latest opening bar in Dingle in so far as I'm aware. I'm docking a star as we've been in a few times over the last week, and it absolutely and overwhelmingly stinks of sickly stale puke. It is awful; you cannot escape it which forced us outside (and as I said, we love that area). If it were only one night, I'd have put that fault to one side, but on a few different visits, it was always the same smell. That's a shame, as it's a great, lively venue. Come on guys, sort the hygiene out!

Great bar on the main street in dingle, amazing beer garden. Definitely worth a visit.

Stopped into O’Sullivan’s Courthouse Pub in Dingle on a lazy afternoon, and enjoyed a quiet pint of Guinness. Forgive the 1 star for food, as I don’t know if they do food or have any food, I didn’t notice anything and was only there for 1 Guinness. The quiet wasn’t a bad thing - at this time of day we were the only people here. The bar man was friendly, it felt like stepping back in time a little bit as I quietly sat in some local history. The walls had some fun graffiti, I didn’t have a pen or anything interesting to write, but if I did I may have tried to add something. I loved learning about how things were once upon a time for the courthouse in Dingle. I walked in purely because my last name was Sullivan, and that seemed as good a reason as any for a beer here. I think the owners of the Pub are musicians - and the space does look like the sort of place where on the right night, with the right gig on, it would be a great place to be. But as an introvert who had spent the day exploring, I was very happy to be here on a quiet afternoon. Regardless of your surname, or the time of day, if you’re in Dingle and this place is open, consider popping in for a beer - or two, or three.

Lovely pub - just spoiled by the 1 staff we encountered. I said hello 3 times (as the only customer), so did the next guy that came in. Kinda ruined it for me. But seems like it would have a great atmosphere when it gets going.

This is the place if you want to find a true community experience, as well as the best traditional music anywhere! It is lively and fun, and the Guinness is the BEST! The owners really care about everyone who comes in and it shows!

Very nice and original pub with excellent live music.

On a recent stay in Dingle, we ended up at O'Sullivan's for drink, music and craic. We got healthy doses of each, along with an adventure. The lights went out turns out it was the entire area, but without missing a beat, the owners son behind the bar, as well as all the other servers, brought candles to each table, a few in front of the band, and didn't forget to put some in the toilets. What's better that a great night that gave me a story to tell forever.

Get there before 8:30pm to get a good seat. The live music roughly starts by 9pm. The night that we went to was a duo with guitar & flutes, loved it. They did some of their own music and did some classic Irish tunes as well.

Great live Irish music, really cool decor and friendly service

We visited Nellie’s on our last night in Dingle. We had a wonderful experience. The live music & dancing were outstanding. We particularly enjoyed the authentic, live music and dancing. Both the dancers and singers played for well over two hours. Great pub to wrap up our trip.

Can't weigh in on the food because we've only been there for pints and traditional music. Those both deliver every time. Music, dancing, and good craic in general. The service is excellent and we have always found good conversation.

A great little Irish pub. A place you must visit. Mind you, you can say that about any pub in Dingle. Great staff. Great live music. Great Guinness. A pool table. I noticed they keep the full kegs of beer under the side benches.

We were in search of a quick game of pool, and found it in Neligan’s Bar in Dingle. Our original plan was to have a quick game of pool, and then move on to somewhere else. We ended up staying for a long time, and soaking in some of the most cherished experiences of our trip, and wherever that "somewhere else" was, mattered less. Sometimes you just find yourself exactly where you’re meant to be. While playing pool, we shared a few drinks and games of pool with some people who were gathering to have a drink for their father who had recently passed. I’d never share the conversations - as they were personal - but I was struck by the openness, warmth, and generosity of spirit from people we had only just met. We were welcomed in as a small part of a story being written, and what wasn’t a sad occasion, but clearly a meaningful celebration of someone’s life well lived. These are memories that will stay with us. As the evening went on, the pool table was packed away so the traditional Irish dancing could start. Before it started, we’d already had some of the locals tell us we could go across the street to the Pizzeria and bring it back into the pub if we were hungry, and they also gave us some small demos of the style of dancing we could expect if we stuck around. What was about to take place wasn’t a show - it was a community event that everyone who started to fill Neligan’s was there to enjoy and participate in. There was a live band and a caller who guided the room, a bit like they would in a barn dance back home in Australia: all ages, all abilities, everyone laughing, some learning, but most lived and loved it and the joy and laughter filled the venue and spilled into the street. It turned out to be the 80th birthday of a gentleman who was clearly a much loved figure in the dancing community - and to see him dance, celebrating and being celebrated, was genuinely moving. This group of people also made us feel like we were welcome guests in their experience. We came for a simple game of pool. We were gifted so much more. While I certainly couldn’t guarantee this exact experience, I am sure if you stop by, you’ll be made to feel welcome, you’ll be able to enjoy a drink, play some pool if the table is out, and be made to at home away from home.

Amazing pub for music and dancing. I took my mom here and we had a grand time. A must visit. We were there on a Friday night and by 8:15 the place was filling up and the music had begun.

I could not have been happier than to have found this place on our travels to Dingle. Other spots like Dingle Bar are much more touristy and feel staged and manufactured for the tourists. This small pub was bristling with warm energy and a beautiful local Irish spirit. I had the pleasure of ducking in here out of the rain one afternoon by chance and began chatting with the manager Meabh. She was just opening up and she was inviting and full of wonderful Irish hospitality. I had a pint and went on my way. As I walked around town and asked locals where was the best traditional music in Dingle to hear that night many said “oh you should go to Nelligans”. What are the odds! So I popped back in that night and had the best evening of live music I can remember. This is where true traditional Irish music is being played. They have a drop-in spirit there where folks can come and join the small ensemble to play traditional “trad” Irish music and the talent of these local musicians is incredible. They believe in keeping the authentic traditional music alive and you’ll hear fiddles, accordions, guitar, flute, concertina, and singing. I can’t say enough how happy I am to have had the pleasure of experiencing this pub on my travels or having been able to meet the lovely Meabh. Who by the way it turns out is also an incredibly talented musician from a line of famous musicians and plays there as well!

One of our favorite pubs of the trip! Great pints and they had set dancing going on which was so fun to watch! Loved this pub!

A great pub very close to the car park which we needed as it was pouring down.The pub was busy but the lovely gentleman who greeted us found a table very quickly for us.All the food we had was excellent and a very nice atmosphere inside aswell plus if the weather is ever nice there's plenty of seating outside.I had the soup which was great then the sausages and mash and they were sausages with Guinness in them which you could actually taste which surprised me. definitely a good find on a very wet day in Dingle and I'd definitely recommend coming to this pub

I have nothing to say, it was just all very good. I was afraid to eat oysters for a long time in my life since my last experience, as a seafood lover I had to give it a go again so I did try their oysters and it was absolutely beautiful, Very fresh! The mussels were also amazing. Thanks for the good experience.

Great food, great service, great location. Could probably stop with just the headline but Ill go on. We ate here on a busy Tuesday with the brown full of tourists. We sat outside and it was perfect. Cold beer and hot food. I got the Guinness beef stew and substituted fries (chips) for mashed potatoes because of my dairy allergy. SO got the bangers and mash. Despite the crowds everything came fast. Staff was cheerful and efficient. Prices were below what I would have expected for such a great location. Highly recommended.

Afternoon lunch in Dingle. Great food served by friendly locals in a wonderful setting. Biggest portion of Fish n Chips I have ever been served. Lots of restaurants in this hamlet but this one was great.

Traditional Irish food, ordered mussels, beef Guinness stew and fish pie. All turned out hearty and satisfying for a rainy day. Waiter was friendly and service was nice.

We had an amazing experience at John Benny’s Pub last night. I went with a group of American friends, and they were absolutely thrilled with the food. The mussels were incredible – fresh, flavorful, and the sauce was perfect. I had the chorizo linguine, and it was absolutely delicious. The young lady who served us was fantastic – friendly, attentive, and very professional. However, there was an older lady working there who was extremely unfriendly and dismissive. Honestly, a place that serves such divine food deserves staff who reflect the same warmth and quality. Overall, the food was phenomenal, and we’ll definitely be back – just hoping for the same great service we received from the first waitress.

The place is right in the center, just in front of the port, so it's a convenient spot for people passing by. I went there for a beer with friends first, we had the beer at the counter and the bartender was nice and funny. I came back for dinner, but unfortunately there was a long waiting time. They suggested that we wait at a nearby cocktail bar. While it turned out to be a good discovery, it ended up making us spend more than we had planned because we felt obligated to buy something there. Anyway, when we finally got a table, they split our group into two tables and took our orders separately. As a result, when the food arrived, some of us were just starting to eat while others were already finishing. I ordered the fish pie. It was good, a kind of revised cottage pie with a seafood chowder at the bottom instead of meat. It was a nice idea, and the overall taste was good. However, there seemed to be a small amount of fish compared to the potatoes on top, and the consistency was too liquid. Nevertheless, it was still okay. On the other hand, I wasn't pleased when one of my friends ordered a Caesar salad with eggs and received her meal as the last person, after everyone else had already finished. To make matters worse, she only received a plain green salad and half an egg! Despite these hiccups, it's still a good spot to grab a quick bite.

Like the old-world authentic pub look and atmosphere..Layout t is like an old Dingle domestic dwelling.small rooms.. original, well worn paint adds lots of charm Nice music sessions..weekly.. mix of trad. Folk and mixed genres. Great pint..We'll worth a visit.

2 bar men where absolute gentleman, made the drive from belfast worth it. Called in both nights. Can't remember there names from the effects of such good Guinness but the big lad with the fantastic beard and the local lad who has a history degree & was the only fella in his primary school class. Legends both ya

Absolute gem! This is exactly what I pictured an Irish pub would be like, and it did not disappoint. We ducked in to get out of a rain shower and ended up having such a great experience. The bartenders (pretty sure they were family) were super friendly and welcoming. The restrooms were clean, and the place was way bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

I had booked an area in Bob Griffin's for the night before our wedding and I can't recommend it enough. Everything was very well managed, lovely ourdoor area. We got food from the dingle food company and between the 2 of them they organised it all together. Very easy. Go raibh maith agat

Best Irish coffee we’ve ever had! Great atmosphere with a nice outside patio area with cozy seating areas with seat heaters.

Lovely nostalgic old Irish pub left to in original form,very friendly and helpful staff would recommend a visit

Great pub in the heart of Dingle. Fantastic beer garden out the back, well laid out & a garden kitchen offering tasty bites. The staff here are second to none & they have it off to a tee. The boss is always to hand overseeing & ensuring customer satisfaction

We stopped in for a quick dinner last night. The location in town across from the harbor is Excellent. The Seafood Chowder and Mash Burger were excellent. The Fish and Chips were very good ( but to be fair..I am very very picky when it comes to my fish and chips)...and not everyone has the smashed peas...so I was very pleased. A very very nice casual experience and definitely worth the stop in for a quick meal. Thank You to all...

Ate and drank at this wonderful Pub. The atmosphere was lively and fun. The service at the bar and at our table was exceptional. Here we discovered Dingle Gin and Elderflower Tonic. This is an amazing G&T! My friends and I both had the fish and chips. The fish was fresh, perfectly fried and the tartar sauce and mushy peas were terrific.

Stayed for one night while traveling by car, the location was really good for exploring the area. Breakfast was really great, the room was clean and the beds really comfortable. Only tiny small missing detail was some kind of surface to keep your bigger luggage on top of, but everything else was excellent!

20 min wait to get seated for dinner but we were able to have a drink outside while we wait. Steak sandwich and the stew were really good! Busy atmosphere would go again.

Went here for lunch. Good service, great beer, good variety on the menu. Had a kids menu as well. Soup, sandwich and seafood casserole. All delicious. Thank you!

Good food and drinks in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Tried the seafood chowder and a vegetable soup which were both very good. Very nice pub with good service .

Only ate lunch here but was disappointed with the seafood chowder especially after reading all the reviews claiming "Best EVER". I've only had three so far during my trip to Ireland and this was significantly worse than the other two. Kind of watery in comparison, lacking the thick creaminess and rich flavour of the other two. Also not much seafood compared to the others and mostly just vegetables. Service was good and food came quickly, but just not the best quality food. Chips were good but not amazing. Bailey's coffee was also not as good as the only other one I've ever had.

This place was a great iteration of the many pubs that serve local fare in Dingle. The seafood chowder was insanely good. It had a ton of different kinds of seafood and delicious thick creamy base. I got it as a "light lunch" and I was full for hours, it's very filling. It comes with great bread as well. My husband had bangers and mash and really enjoyed it too. Friendly service, warm welcoming atmosphere.

What a good surprise. We went here for a pint and decided to have dinner cause we were too tired, and the stew was delicious! One of the best meals I had in Ireland. Aldo the location is great and the staff friendly.

Oh my! The stew!!! The best Irish stew, so full of flavour and comes with a huge spoonful of mashed potato in the middle as if it wasn’t perfect enough already. The chowder is also delicious, so thick with fish you can stand your spoon up in it! I wish I could eat here every day.

Lovely, cozy pub with some of the best food I’ve ever had. Got the mussels in the white garlic sauce and they were divine!!!

Food was great, the upstairs seating area was fantastic. The Guinness stew was the best I had in Ireland

Super friendly staff. It seems like a spot that locals go to. We went here two nights in a row that’s how much we enjoyed the food and the vibe. The seafood chowder is fantastic, the burger is delicious and the fish/mussel specials were excellent too! We passed on the dessert the second time

Absolutely amazing. Staff welcoming and friendly and cottage pie delish!

An impromptu stop for dinner turned out quite nice. Friendly servers and reasonable prices. Wife really enjoyed her seafood chowder with fresh bread. My fish and chips were perfectly fried and well portioned. The boys had curry and lasagna with no complaints. Cozy restaurant with views of the water.

Pepe were raving about the seafood chowder when we were in here. I had the brie, bacon and onion jam toasty with chips. It was more than I could eat. The server was great, very friendly. We'd eat here again.

We went there during lunch service on a Saturday. Lots of tourists, like us, as is to be expected. The staff was friendly enough and the food came quickly. It's definitely alright and would have been 4 stars if the food hadn't been so bland. Vegetarian lasagna and signature seafood sandwich. Both didn't taste like much.

Honestly, this seemed better than a 4.3. We had a really nice server and the food was great. It’s nice that it’s a little bit removed from the center of things, so you’re more likely to be able to get a seat, especially for a larger party.

Got the prawn tagliatelle, which was for me very bland. soaking wet I was looking forward to a rich creamy pasta. Staff were lovely, but thirty quid for the pasta too much. I understand prawns are dearer and esp when fresh and the prawns themselves were lovely as was the garlic bread. But sauce was barely there felt just watery and bland. Pity! everything else great and staff lovely. service was quick. It's for you if you like a really light barely there sauce like just eating pasta & prawns. Linguini up the road was €18.

Fantastic food and service by Sarah and team. Steak was good but the stand out was cod in Mediterranean herb crust. 100% recommended when in Dingle

We stayed at the Dingle Bay Hotel and went down to eat our first night. Wow! Amazing food and such friendly staff. We had the seafood chowder, croquettes, lamb and beef dishes. Only complaint was that we couldn’t finish it all!

Went in for food as my sister recommended. I had the duck orange and onion rings. This had to be one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The service was great and the food was delicious. We all really enjoyed our meals. 100% recommend this place for a nice high standard meal, as good cost.

What a great place with super good food. The service and atmosphere is fantastic. Love going into a pub in Ireland and not feeling rushed to eat and get out.

I got the special of the day that was 1/2 a dozen oysters and a half pint of Guinness. The oysters were massive and the best I have ever had. They came from Clare county. I also had the lamb shank and it was the most juicy, decadent, and savory lamb I have ever had. I had the best passion fruit martini here as well.

I didn't come for food only drink. I believe if I were a local this is a pub I would attend more frequently. This is just salt of the Earth. No gimmicks nothing to bring you in but a warm atmosphere and great staff. Excellent pour of Guinness and I strongly recommend the Dingle whiskey.

The staff here were so nice and welcoming. After our long drive from Galway it was exactly the right spot to have dinner while discussing the days adventures. The fish and chips were the best. The side salad had a bright colorful flavor. You could tell it was all grown locally. We also enjoyed the seafood chowder and BBQ pork sandwich. We finished of with the best Sticky Toffee pudding.

The food was good and the servers were helpful, friendly and efficient. I had the black pudding and chorizo salad and it was brilliant. It was a little less busy than the nearby food-serving establishments at 9pm on a Monday in late July. It was a good place to grab dinner after arriving in Dingle and it's a little less busy.

Good food and beer, fast service, dog friendly

Amazing place on a quiet street in Dingle. Clean, friendly staff, live music. Will definitely come back if we get the chance. Definitely recommend a visit.

Great little pub tucked away from the main street chaos of Dingle 🍺🍀 avoid the tourist traps on the water front 😎 take a few extra steps a couple of blocks away

Great place for late night drink. Will always have the sport on the telly too.

Caught a early trad session on a Sat. afternoon at McCarthy’s Pub. Very nice pub. Bathrooms were clean. Service excellent.

Here you will enjoy good music and the unusual atmosphere of the city.

Brilliant night. Went for the cocktails and ended up joining the weekly quiz night. Great fun, great team.. see you soon :)

Good spot for a pint. Very relaxed feel to the place.

This place was one of our single best experiences in Ireland. I had the best beer I drank in Ireland there. Fergus and his friends put on a spectacularly played open mic. A memory for life. Thank you Fergus! ❤️

I had the day two of my wedding at O'Flaherty's bar. Sean was so engaged and helpful in the build up to day. The day itself was a massive success. We had such fun and all helped for the excellent staff. I highly recommend using this bar for any functions or just stopping in and enjoying a pint. Brilliant outdoor area also

We stopped in for a beer and the bartender was so sweet. It’s a small place but had a great feeling there. My cider was delicious! We got a t shirt we liked it so much.

Great local bar. The keep the duo place thumping. One guy played about 5 instruments.

Fab little old pub with tonnes of atmosphere. Good prices and fair prices for such a busy tourist town. Well done.

Great service and fun place to enjoy some good drinks. Love all the historic pictures on the walls. Would definitely return on my next visit

It's OK.. I'm live in Ireland so I know what a confortable pub feels like.. The layout here is a bit odd.. Open plan.. Also.. They Only accept cash which I found a bit odd.

The ambience was great, it was perfect for a rainy Wednesday night. We were very excited to order one of the highly recommended cocktails from the cocktail menu. However, when we attempted to order cocktails at 10pm we were told they were no longer making cocktails. There was some confusion around this as we saw 5 other people receive cocktails after we sat down. The female bartender was dismissive and told us the prominently displayed cocktail menu no longer applied. The male bartender at the time was lovely and very cordial. Overall, good pub, but not the most welcoming.

We had the absolutely best experience here. We were made to feel so welcomed and we were able to participate in the music session with the music hosts and other patrons of the pub. The intimate room with the candles and the conversation and music made our night in Dingle one of our best nights in Ireland. I hope to return someday! Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Kennedy’s in Dingle is a great spot. The bartenders are friendly and know what they’re doing. The margaritas are excellent, and the space has a comfortable, relaxed feel. Easy place to spend a few hours.

Our first night out at a pub and we sure are glad we stopped here. Great trio of older gents played numerous songs that brought a room of strangers together by the end of the night. Reasonable prices for drinks and cozy fireplace in the corner added to the perfect night.

Great selection of Dingle's beers and distilled finest. This Session IPA was very good, and Dingle single malt deliciousness.

The best cocktails in Dingle. Cosy pub in Dingle. Excellent music played. Staff are incredible in particular Niall who put so much love into our cocktails. Our favourite spot.

Kennedy's Pub is a hidden gem in Dingle! The atmosphere is incredibly inviting - think warm fire, comfy nooks, and a genuine sense of community. The staff is super friendly and helpful But the real star of the show is their cocktail menu. They have something for everyone, but I highly recommend the spicy margarita - it's a flavor explosion you won't forget! ️

This place is absolutely charming—stepping inside feels like traveling back in time. We arrived outside of peak hours and were fortunate to get a table without a reservation. The service was highly professional, and the food was equally impressive. A truly delightful dining experience.

Delicious and beautifully presented dishes in the most inviting environment. We felt at home here, partially thanks to the strong bonds between all who worked that night. We felt the connections and partnerships deploy. It was beautiful to witness. I had today's catch, which was a hake served on a bed of zucchini-wrapped tender leeks. This unique side made the dish even more memorable. It was such a surprise to dig in and explore a combination of flavors that I would never have considered.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Lord Bakers. The customer service was top-notch and the food was simply amazing. What really stood out to me was their incredible sense of humor in responding to low reviews on Google—it made me curious and eager to give them a try. I'm so glad I did because everything from start to finish exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

We had an amazing meal at Lord Baker’s. Johnathan happily made our reservation in advance and then treated us like gold when we arrived. He was our server and took care of us. The lobster was delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Dingle.

Walking past and we ventured in. So happy we did. Great food, service was fantastic and a lovely atmosphere. Best scampi I have ever had. And he loved the lamb.

We had a delicious meal at Lord Baker's! The proprietor was there and was so attentive along with the rest of his staff. We had an appetizer of Stuffed Mushrooms that we ended up ordering a second order of because they were so delicious. All of our food was well prepared, and they even put a little surprise on my dad's dessert for his birthday! We all tried each other's dishes and no one was disappointed!

Such a great place. The owner is so lovely and nice, he greeted us and read us the specials and pointed out some favorites on the menu. My partner had the best scallops of her life and I had the amazing catch of the day: grilled hake. Amazing experience in Dingle!

We walked in and did a tasting in the tasting room (no tour). Great info from the staff at the bar. Lovely setting for the tasting - very authentic in the distillery. Really nice whiskey ! Recommend a stop here if you're touring around Dingle peninsula!

Great afternoon spent listening to the story of how Dingle gin vodka whisky came to be. Great tour by Colin. Tastings were great. Drink at end a bonus.

Brilliant tour! So informative with a good number of tastings while going around!

During our trip around Edinburgh and Ireland, I tried to taste as many different local beers, gins and whiskeys as I could. On a rainy afternoon, we had booked in for a tour and tasting at the Dingle Distillery, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I learned a lot and liked what I tasted, so over all it was a great way to spend some time. It’s a beautiful establishment, full of local stories and like lots of businesses like this, it was a passion project, and who knew how it would go. What stood out to me initially was that the tour guide really knew their stuff and had been making alcohol for over 15 years. They knew a lot, and were clearly passionate about the process, care and effort that goes into making Dingle Gin, Vodka and Whiskey. The tour itself was not only informative, but really deepened my appreciation for the craft behind whiskey production - especially how the grain, cask type, and aging all significantly shape the final product. As someone who enjoys whiskey, but always adds a bit of ice, I appreciated the guide's open, relaxed and less puritanical view - telling us that it doesn’t have to be had straight, and encouraging people to enjoy their whiskey how they personally like it: and noting that if you add a little water or ice it actually opens it up. I was glad to hear that it is also how the guide liked to drink theirs. Dingle Distillery is still relatively young by global standards - founded in 2012 as part of the new wave of Irish craft distilleries. They have a sort of small-batch, artisan approach and began by selling casks of their first products to investors, lots of whom they knew - and it grew and grew from there. Everything is made on-site in Dingle, with a focus on quality over mass production. The distillery uses locally sourced botanicals for its gin (which is an excellent gin), and carefully selected casks for aging their whiskeys, including bourbon, rum and port casks that bring real depth and complexity. Their by-products are collected by local farmers and put to good use, and you can tell they’ve thought a lot about the end-to-end process. Before visiting, I couldn’t remember seeing or coming across their products, but since the tour, I’ve started seeing Dingle Whiskey and Dingle Gin everywhere, and by my taste buds, this is for good reasons. It was nice to support a distillery that’s still independently owned, and building its reputation for quality one batch at a time. If you’re visiting Dingle, don’t skip the tour. It’s a unique and memorable experience, whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or simply curious I think everyone would get something out of the tour.

I did the 75 minute Distillery tour. Very knowledgeable guide. They put together quite small groups of about 14 people max. Tasted different spirits in the beginning and at the end. Overall a great experience, if you want to see an artisan Whiskey Distillery, this is the best tour I had so far!

A highlight of a great trip to Ireland. The tour guide was awesome, the content fascinating, and the whiskey delicious. Don’t miss this if you’re near Dingle.

Simply lovely tour at a distillery that's in full operation. I booked the bespoke whiskey experience. Because whiskey is what i like so no gin and vodka on this tour. We first started with a single malt before the tour started, after the tour we experienced 4 other whiskeys, the single pot still, the 10 years single malt, a cask strength pot still and a cask strength single malt. Unfortunately they are not allowed to sell their product on site but they will point you in the right direction. There is a variety of merchandise, shirts, caps, beanies and hoodies. Had a wonderfull and experienced guide.

good pizzas and the salads were a great break from pub fare. Unique decor and great playlist. Stop if you are in town

Let me start with the staff here was very nice and the service was quite decent, but that’s about the end of anything good here. This place would be shut down by any American Heath dept on the spot. While waiting for our pizza we watched a spider crawl across the table next to us and the waiter tried to save it and take it outside instead of killing it and cleaning the table on the spot. Second I found a nice long 4-5 inch hair under the cheese on my pizza. Now let’s talk about the food, honestly I’d rather eat a Tostitos frozen pizza from the store. The crust had zero flavor and was paper thin and crunchy like stale cardboard. The sauce couldn’t be more basic as was the cheese. The garlic bread was a pitiful attempt at a classy twist, they simply sliced a baguette down the middle and slapped some butter and cheese in the middle. On the upside when we informed the waiter of the hair in the food, she comped the meal and we promptly left to find another dinner spot.

Really nice spot, amazing salads and tasty pizza! Have been coming Dingle for years and last night was first time - will be back!

Not great, waited 45 mins for a simple pizza ..was tasty but .. wont be back , skipped desert for fear of waiting all night 👎

Very vegan friendly jazz bar with friendly staff in a relaxed environment. Menu states they have vegan cheese for +€1.50 and staff are happy to switch around toppings for you. Vegan dessert also offered: we had the ice-cream and sorbet. Highly recommend

I got Self Rule which was pretty good but a little too spicy. My dad got a different kind and really liked it. The lighting could be a little brighter since it was fairly dark. Service was pretty good but my dad was given a cracked glass which we had to exchange.

We loved to discover Blue Zone in Dingle! We knew right away when we saw this place we would love it and were not disappointed. The owner welcomed us with comfy seating, good converations, and recs for sightseeing the next day. The large side salad was decadent and the vegan pizza was delicious! We even decided to come back for round 2 the next day.

Authentic Irish locals pub. Not touristy like others. Great service from Mikey. Gave us a brilliant recommendation for food. They don't serve food but do have music. Dingle Pale Ale was good. Thank you

Lovely cosy Irish pub great pints & have Guinness zero on draft which it perfect 👌

Delicious pints inside and great food van out the back. A great pub.

Our best pub in dingle. Friendly staff that went out there way to make us feel welcome, great for sport and amazing guinness

Great pub with a really good pint of Guinness. Bartender was very friendly and welcoming. Lovely fireplace. Would recommend checking this place out.

This was a very nice place to hang out and have a pint and listen to good music.

Nice pint

I had great fun at Nellie Fred's. Fantastic music venue. Danced the night away at The Global Rythms Festival held each night in the querky garage. Staff were lovely.

Four stars for value for money, stayed in the quadruple room over the bar on a hiking trip. Nellie Fred's is on the edge of the main bar areas but given most of everything is within 5-10 mins in Dingle, and is over a cracking little pub, it's perfectly acceptable. Bar is cosy, has a pool table and music area out back for bands, we didn't catch any on our trip, but had some nice pints. Staff and owner all very friendly, as is everybody in Dingle. Room is clean and comfortable, only issue is the shower takes a while to drain so four lads or ladies having a shower one after the other means an inch or more of water will likely remain unless you let it run off. Only two of us so not a bother. Recommend and will book here on return.

Great little place. Stayed on Saturday night, lovely atmosphere and ideal location. Live music most nights, great selection of Irish beers, whiskeys and of course Dingle gin 😁

Great little pub on the edge of Dingle town. Great spot for a quiet pint or two.

Stayed here for two nights with my wife and we loved it. Our room was clean and spacious with everything we needed. Everybody who works here is incredibly helpful and friendly. The pub is great as well and has a real community feel to it unlike some of the other pubs we visited that seemed more catered to tourists.

Lovely beer garden out the back with a pizza truck, great chilled out atmosphere with good music. Definitely give the homemade cordial cocktails a try. Their candle shop next door is also well worth a visit - scents are divine!

Fantastic place to stay in a beautiful setting, spotless very comfy beds and great outdoor terrace if you want a few sociable drinks. Great for couples or families. Would definitely stay here again

Spent two nights here and the bartender David was awesome. Friendly, outgoing, social and provided information for local sights. Truly small town amazing experience,

great ambiance, live music was super fun and casual. the candlelight really made it feel warm and cozy. 10/10 experience.

You won't even notice it if you pass by. I really liked the ambiance. Old, rustic, Irish bar. Owner was really friendly.

Wonderful pint of Smithwicks. A very real pub.

Had a quick pint in here, had to use the toilet shortly after arriving. Strong smell of urine/ammonia from the gents emanating through the lounge meant we didn't stay long. Pint of Guinness was actually good

Surely the dirtiest pub I’ve ever been in. The back room smelled of urine from the toilet. The floor, the furniture, the shelving, the seats were all filthy and dusty. Not old and full of character but simply filthy. Had one pint there and ran out of it.

Could not do any more beer so the bartender made me a “special drink” and called it “The Dingle Donkey”. Lol! It was PERFECT!! Made from all local distilleries! Great local vibe!!

When my husband and I visited this past March we met the owner and his wife. They are amazing people! I sprained my ankle on the way up and Mike made sure I was well taken care of! The drinks are great, the staff is awesome and the atmosphere is truly entrenched with the spirit of Ireland. Hands down the best bar in Dingle! We will be back 💚-~ Chanda and Warren Broderick

Great vibes in this joint. Front is more like a traditional pub, as you walk to the back it opens up with a ton of room, 2 pool tables inside. Big patio with tables, 2 more pool tables and a cozy fire place in back. We came here multiple times during our stay in Dingle. Spike, the owner, is very nice and friendly. We probably sat and talked with him for over an hour. 2 beautiful dogs, too!

We stayed at The Bridge House in Dingle with our camper van and had a fantastic experience. The site had plenty of space, making it super easy to maneuver and park the van without any stress. The facilities were great – clean bathrooms and a hot shower, which was much appreciated after a long day on the road. It's a very pet-friendly spot, which was perfect as we were traveling with our dog. There's also a handy little tuck shop stocked with tea, coffee, sodas, and a great selection of snacks – ideal for a quick pick-me-up. One of the highlights was the lovely on-site pub. It had pool tables, an inviting enclosed fireplace area, and a really cozy vibe overall. The service throughout our stay was warm and welcoming – you can really tell the hosts care about their guests having a good time. Highly recommend for anyone traveling through Dingle, especially camper van travelers looking for a relaxed and friendly place to stay.

Parked our campervan up here for 2 nights. Super convenient to the town and access to toilet, shower, electricity and water. The pub itself is nice and lovely fire out the back. Will definitely stay here again.

Parked up here for 2 nights and found the facilities great! Kids loved the pool tables and also Jack the friendly Collie! The fire was lovely too.toilet and shower were very clean.

Absolutely loved this place. Great central location. Secure. Michael the owner great fella. His dogs made friends with ours. Facilities great. What more could you ask for five stars

The staff have no interest in the customers. Unfriendly and stale atmosphere here. I was shocked at at how little the staff cared when our group entered. Stray cats in the pub and the staff allowing the cats to drink out of the glasses. Disgusting. This whole place needs new management. It has massive potential. We will not be returning.

Now renamed Neligans. Not as good for traditional Irish music sessions as in the past. Decor now more trendy. Still a nice pub.

Enjoyable atmosphere and great music. Alot of talented people play there. One of my best nights in Ireland.

Great tunes and they started at 8:30 pm

Great music & good Irish night

They sold us Guiness. It was good. We'd go back.

Smells. If you like dirty, smelly and rural seedy meets baffled touristy pubs, this is the place for you.

Best music in Ireland
