Fun little pub just outside of the Temple Bar. We stumbled on this pub while waiting for the Luas in the rain. The bartender was fantastic and it felt more authentic than those in the Temple Bar. We loved it so much that we returned...again.More

The main floor pub is decent sized, well lit and clean with a large selection of beverages. I was there on a Saturday night and went to the downstairs room which was a lot of fun. Sheela the bartender was entertaining on her own. There...was also live music with Mark Flynn who played and sang various styles of music and near the end of the night he unplugged his guitar and microphone, sat at the bar with the patrons, sang some more then let one of the patrons (big David Bowie fan) sing and play. It was one enjoyable and memorable night of music and laughs.More

Newly redecorated and looking fabulous but still honouring it's theatre links with the Abbey and supporting the local sports. The Neptune bar downstairs has also had a facelift and looks great, feels comfortable. The smoking area is done up like something from a Dickens novel,...fantastic. Really welcoming and friendly staff. The music was also brilliant. Would recommend a stop off. 2 nice IPAs on tap too.More

I was traveling in 1984. Stopped at the Neptune Lounge, a short walk from bus station. Sat all evening with the makeshift band listening to them play Irish music until close. Left with the crew to one of the band members homes. The friendly group...kept me busy for a few days, learning about the culture and activities of our newly formed little gang. Magic!More

My fiance is pregnant and tried to use toilet and barman was very rude and told her no for customers only. After I told him she is pregnant he said no nothing I could do about it and refused. This is disgraceful. It was terrible.

Excellent city pub with a great local feel. Had gone prior to reading any reviews and was greeted with a warm smile and a fine pint of Guinness. Had 3 visits over 3 days and each was superb, as were the drinks on each occasion....Not pretentious, not elaborate, not a wine bar, just a fantastic pub.More

Would highly recommend stopping in here for a few beers if Temple area is too full for you. Very welcoming and friendly really well priced, Robbie made our trip all the more enjoyable what a guy.
