The Long Hall

This bar is one of the oldest in Dublin. Such a charming place. Definitely one you need to try while visiting.

This may be one of the most beautiful bars in Dublin.. and I went to many joints!! Walking in... huge bar with prob 30 stools, beautiful chandeliers complete with fancy carpeting in a bar??? It works and really makes the place stand out. Constantly packed and this is not a small place so plan accordingly! Service was great all things considered// stick with Guinness // talk later.

Traditional Irish pub. Crowded, noisy and fun. Pretty sure we were the only Americans (which was great). Jameson and Guinness of course - free flowing.

Fun is not welcome here.

I used to live on Palace St (Dame St) and recently was in the Long Hall with a friend, twice, for catch-up drinks. The first night we had at least eight pints each. Grand time. Today, we had one drink and the manager, who we had not spoken with or interacted with, refused to serve us a second. The only thing I can think of is that, as we were seated right by the door, we were chatting to new customers as they waited for a seat. The (Tunisian?) guy serving us both nights is very nice; we tipped him both nights and were grateful to have someone so pleasant serving us. The "manager" should probably just be a bar man and have someone with cop on be the actual manager.

This is a classic pub with leather seats, an eclectic mix of chandeliers, an assortment of photos on the walls, tin ceilings, red carpeting. As the name states, this is one long, narrow 'hall' of a room. The bar takes up the front half of the room with seats both at the bar and across from it along the wall. The rear portion of the room is banquets, typical little round tables and stools.
The pub offers a full bar. We ordered one beer, and tea for one. The bar woman sent us back to have a seat and brought out a small pot of brewed tea and the beer. From our vantage point we could see the entire room. There were only a few patrons scattered around the room when we visited early in the afternoon. Not as much tchotchke here as in other old style pubs but still with lots of personality.

On my short trip to Ireland I had limited time in Dublin so I wanted to try a highly recommended pub to get a pint of Guinness. This place was the highest recommend pub within close proximity of the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel. I walked in and the place was packed; it was difficult to walk through the narrow area in front of the bar. There were no tables available but fortunately there was one spot with standing room only at the bar. Although the place was packed, I was acknowledged quickly and I ordered a pint of Guinness. I was glad that I did not receive my pint immediately because he let it settle before he topped it off and delivered it. It cost 5 Euros which is good compared to some other pubs.

This place is a Victorian style pub and has been there for quite some time. I thought that it was cool that locals and tourists alike were in the place. I saw large groups of friends in the back and mostly couples at the bar and seated across from it. Despite it being so busy, the bartender was keeping up and keeping things moving. 4 stars!

The Long Hall is a charming Victorian style pub in Dublin that dates back to 1766. This Irish pub acquired its name from its long, narrow hallway snug that runs along the left hand side of the pub. Before 1951 only men were allowed in the bar; women were served drinks in the hallway.

This was the second stop on our pub crawl in Dublin. The bar wasn't very crowded on the evening of our Sunday visit so we didn't have to wait in a line to place our order. We grabbed a window seat so we could people watch outside while enjoying our pints, but I think I spent most of our visit with my back to the window because there was so many beautiful features of the pub to gawk at. The most stunning feature at The Long Hall is the antique clock that forms an arch between bar and lounge area.

If you are looking for a gorgeous historical pub in Dublin that serves a great pint of Guinness be sure to stop by The Long Hall!

This is the kind of pub you look for in Dublin. Great beer, great ambiance and kind of place you can go to and enjoy the great beer

The day I met my now husband we spent the night drinking in this pub. It was the best pint I've ever had, and was honestly the best place we visited the whole trip. Can't wait to make it back here someday!

I love this pub. It's so simple but gives you so much more and gives you a wonderful Dublin experience.

We went to the Long Hall as it was featured in an episode of Anthony Bourdain's show The Layover as a place to visit while in Dublin. It's a small pub in the heart of Dublin but represents what a pub should be: no TVs, just good conversation and good pints. They carry many beers on tap and a collection of whiskey and other spirits. My husband had a pint of Galaway Hooker and Guinness (because for many people, that is what you do in Dublin) while I had a pint of O'Hara's Craft Beer and Smithwicks. We stuck to Irish beers because we wanted to drink what the locals drink.

It was mid afternoon when we went. Not too busy but it slowly started picking up while we were there. The bartender was friendly and gave us great recommendations for places to eat in Dublin. The atmosphere is very relaxed; the bar itself is full of character. I am definitely glad we visited.
