P. Mac's

Of all pubs this is the most democratic of all! Exceptional service! I loved! A dark atmosphere, cool people and the beer that I love Blue Moon , a taste of the United States. I miss. I loved! Super Loved! I already want to dye my hair blue, black clothes! Loveeeeeee For me more than 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I guess much could be said about this place. So, let’s do just that. Is it packed by genZ and millennials? It is … and it lends the place a certain inviting vibrance. Is the food better sounding off the menu than on the plate? Well … served lukewarm, yeah. Could probably be something else once they serve their food piping hot. Is it sporting a beer board worth the detour? Well not many places can claim they have something “all that special” but they tend to keep it interesting enough. Final question. Bring it on! Should you pay them a visit? The answer is : Hell Yeah!

A nice pub for lunch and a drink (wide variety of beers and ciders!). The food is generous and tasty and the menu has a nice selection including vegetarian options. We had the falafel and beetroot hummus salad and the chicken and chips which were good. The staff are also friendly which is always a plus.

I came here with my wife for a few beers and pub food. The beer selection is top notch with ~25 draft beers from the US and Europe. My wife had a Lagunitas IPA and I tried an IPA made for P. Macs from Trouble Brewing. My wife had the chicken sandwich and I had the chicken wings. Both were good but not great. I would go back for the beer selection and the ambience is extremely cool with the red candles.

Great drafts, great food + portions in a candle lit dim atmospheric bar. One for you and your friends if you enjoy some indie music too. Pleasantly surprised!

Looking for a good atmosphere, music and food experience, then P. Macs is a great venue to enjoy all three in a relaxed environment. Though the place offers also a few board games as well. It’s family friendly on afternoons in general and well situated within a small walking distance from with Tara or Pearse stations.

This place have amazing food! Specially Mushroom chips and brownie 🤤- the are amazing ! friendly young staff +++ We had their dinner for 8 and we enjoyed every bite. Plus bar have good vibes and music with larger selections of drinks 🍺 We will be back! 🙌🙌

Delicious and perfectly cooked and constructed burger. Great beer and atmosphere. Even in the busiest of times was able to find a seat at the bar to enjoy this meal. Fries included a delicious aioli. Would certainly recommend!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 The absolute BEST restaurant in Dublin! Went here twice during our stay. It also makes a great pub for evening and at night. Food: The best food in Dublin. I ordered a steak rib sub and the meat just fell off the bone. It was amazing. The wings were amazing, and the selection of craft beer is superb. Decor: This place looks like it was modeled after a church and those rooms in the back look like confession rooms. See the pictures! This is a must place to go when in Dublin and I recommend this place to all who visit the city.

This is a very popular place so expect crowds. You can seat yourself but we had the good fortune to score one of the enclosed booths which was really fun. There is a bigger room towards the back as well as seating in the area where you walk in and some seating outside. The fish and chips were pretty good and very filling. The food was very hot so was better to wait a bit and take a taste carefully. Service was good and it was a fun experience

P Mac's is AMAZING. We were hungry and ready to rest for an early dinner and a drink, and P Mac's has such a cozy, homey vibe - likely my favorite pub we visited in Ireland. It's in a fairly buzzy area of the city, but nowhere near the level of chaos of Temple Bar. It's casual but stylish and cozy, with such a warm inviting ambiance. The service was so friendly and we were greeted right away and served drinks shortly thereafter. The food is AMAZING. We split jerk seasoned wings, a chickpea and feta salad, and spice bag with chicken. All were SO GOOD. Super flavorful and the portions were really generous. The music playing during our meal was so fun and ranged from classic rock to musical theater to pop punk, and we enjoyed every song! It's clean, spacious, and so charming. I cannot recommend P Mac's highly enough, and I selfishly hope it remains a pseudo-hidden gem so that its charms remain in tact. If and when I'm ever in Dublin in the future, I cannot wait to return!

loved this place. the vibes were so cool inside with the dark interior and the fish and chips hit

At Dublin's trendy intersection of Stephen and Digges lies one of the hippest gastropubs in town! You enter a hive of activity, a bustling bar blasting loud rock music with mostly millennials immersed in lively conversation. My initial concern was that the impressive Yelp ratings were exclusively reserved for the atmosphere and drinks, while we were actually pursuing food. But all fears would be alleviated. WARNING: Although the bar is open into the wee hours of the morning, the kitchen was actually closing around 7:45 p.m. on this particular night, and this was a Friday night! So if you want food, get there early! TIP: In the U.S., as soon as you enter a sit-down restaurant you're greeted by a hostess who seats you. There is no guesswork. But the procedure is chaotic in Ireland and the UK, and you never know what to do. So, if you're visiting P.Mac's for the first time, apparently the procedure here is to seat yourselves, send an ambassador to ask an employee behind the bar for menus, order, eat, ask someone for the check, and pay at the table. This is by no means universal in this part of the world, but it works here. The chicken strips were remarkably similar to what we eat in America, about the closest in all of Ireland! Our best chicken in the U.S. is a bit juicer and the batter a little saltier, but the chicken at P.Mac's will definitely suffice. It comes with two delicious sauces, one garlic-based and one sweet. The bacon fries are phenomenal, a combination of french fries, cheese, and a fantastic bacon jam that is perfectly salty and loaded with pieces of bacon. I mean loaded! In a fun twist, the bill comes on a warmed plate with complimentary candy. We got two suckers and two Swizzels Drumsticks which are similar to taffy. A splendid experience overall!

Nice chill pub! I would recommend! Decided to go here instead of Harry Lemon and wasn't disappointed. (:

P.Mac's is a super cool place for dinner and/or drinks! The ambience is unique, the decor stands out (including the candlesticks), and they have plenty of games! It took a while for a waitress to come and take our order. We sat for about 5-10 minutes without anyone coming to us. I went to the bar & asked if we order food with them, but the bartender said he will send someone to our table. Within a few minutes, our waitress appeared. We ordered the buffalo chicken wings, mushroom gnocchi (so good!), and fries. Our food arrived shortly after, and tasted delicious! Other than the wait, the other hassle was parking. Parking was difficult to find, as it's in Dublin & there was major construction nearby.

Garlic fries. Garlic fries. Garlic fries. That's all you need to know. But really, the vibe of this place is just so cool. It's dim, there's tons of candles burning everywhere, and there's board games! We came for dinner and we're so glad we did. We sat in a little back room with a huge table, some couches, and a giant screen with a 90's Jennifer Aniston movie playing. There was so much quirky character, I could barely take it! And the food. O. M. G. The garlic fries were one of the best things we ate in Dublin. We also got a mushroom dish & crispy polenta bites, both of which were amazing. And both of our servers were so very sweet which made the experience perfect. Go to P. Mac's!

The things I would do to go back and get another burger. I will be naming my first born after this place because of how good the burger was. They also played 505 which was great #arcticmonkeys. My death row meal will be p macs. Staff was nice. P*rnstar martini was even nicer.

Because of Yelp, I found P. Macs'. To be honest, I felt magnetically drawn to this bar. After a magnificent meal a few blocks away, we made the trek to P. Mac's, and hell it was so worth it! Every element of the bar seemed to get increasingly cooler as the night went on. As soon as we walked in, Queens of the Stone Age were blasting on the speakers. I knew off the bat, I was meant to be here, as they are one of my favorite bands and it completely made sense that they were playing at a bar of this caliber. Since the city Dublin was experiencing their worst snowstorm in 35 years, unfortunately their beer deliveries to didn't arrive; meaning tons of beer wasn't available. However, the draft selection was stellar, and even though I didn't get the full experience, I appreciate the taplist they keep on hand. Bartenders were friendly and timely for a packed bar. And I mean slammed! The cool thing about bars overseas is that they truly encourage you to sit close to one another and meet the folks around you. P. Mac's embraces this philosophy in a warm, cozy environment. All the chairs are unique and if you're lucky you'll find a sofa chair. As others have written, there are candles EVERYWHERE. I'm surprised it wasn't a freakin' fire hazard, but the Irish like to live on the wild side. The night was already amazing to begin with, but then I ran into a massive Eagles of Deat Metal mural toward the back of the bar. P. Mac's, you know me better than I know myself. Damn, you're cool!

We saved P.Mac's for our last night in Dublin. Gastropubs with hipster influences seemed to be the genre we frequented most while traveling abroad, and P.Mac's was just A-OK for me. I was surprised that there weren't any 2 seater tables, almost all were at least 4, which meant a lot of couples had to share with strangers as the place got more crowded. I don't mind sharing, but it's definitely not necessarily a good spot for a date night. The beers here seemed to be on the more expensive side. I was surprised that most were almost 7 Euro and a Raging Bitch was damn near 9! I guess we're just spoiled by living less than an hour away from Flying Dog back home, but golly! Also, there is no cocktail menu and the only liquor they carry is gin. I happen to love gin, so I ordered a gin and tonic. The gin itself was 7 Euro and the tonic was almost 4.... golly again! The food was okay. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy; however, the greens and cabbage on the sandwich were very bitter. The mushroom chips were probably my favorite part of our visit. They were hot and crispy and the grated parmesan on top made them even more tasty. Overall, P.Mac's was okay and our server was really sweet and gave great drink and food recommendations. However, I think this gastropub is slightly overrated.

We came here twice while in Dublin and this was definitely one of our favorite bars. It has a very cool gastropub ambiance with these gothic style red candles lighting the place up. They also had a bunch of board games to play while you waited for your food or enjoyed your beer. We ordered the White Gypsy beer which was quite refreshing to wash down the Halloumi Fries and Ribs. Both dishes we got were delicious. If you're in Dublin near Temple Bar area stop in here!

I came here with my wife for a few beers and pub food. The beer selection is top notch with ~25 draft beers from the US and Europe. My wife had a Lagunitas IPA and I tried an IPA made for P. Macs from Trouble Brewing. My wife had the chicken sandwich and I had the chicken wings. Both were good but not great. I would go back for the beer selection and the ambience is extremely cool with the red candles.

Would recommend this pub. Fun atmosphere and the candles burning at each table are wicked cool as well. Staff was quick with the drinks and we had a good time.

This is the only thing you need to know - get the fries with garlic aioli. If you're really hungry then get the chicken sandwich or the burger or whatever with it, but the fries will be the best part. We also got the falafel plate which I promptly threw up the next morning after waking up at 4am feeling nauseated. (Not due to alcohol because I don't drink) I have guts of steel and pretty much never get sick from food vs the boyfriend who has had numerous episodes of food-related bathroom episodes. I will probably never get falafels from anywhere for the rest of my existence. Aside from the food, this place is pretty loud and crowded. You seat yourself and desperately try to flag a waiter to get some menus. Then after you've had some time to peruse said menu, you once again try to put on your "please help me" face to get some assistance in ordering said food (STAY AWAY FROM FALAFEL PLATE). However, once you order, the food comes out pretty quickly. Don't wait around for a waiter to ask for the check though, because honestly, 3 times of trying to look like a helpless child who's just trying to throw some money at you for a decent meal is just 3 times too many. So just eat your food and walk out. They're too busy to notice anyway. Just kidding. Go to the bar and let them know where you were sitting and they can pull up your check. But seriously if I had known I was just gonna vomit up that food in 10 hours....

My visit to P Mac's was my first time sitting in a snug which was like a booth with walls/doors. Prior to the 60s, women would sit in these screened-off rooms attached to the bar to drink out of sight. I personally enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and bit of quiet it provided to enjoy drinks with friends. We tried what I believe was like a garbage pail of misc food such as wings, fries, and risotto balls maybe? My only complaint was it was so HOT in here!

Cute private areas to chill and drink a beer. Love the atmosphere. We had the burger- I wouldn't recommend, as it was "trying too hard".. It was dry and it just had too much going on. The sweet potato fries were to die for, yummy chipotle sauce!! Then we had the fish tacos- a definite "yes" - perfectly cooked and delicious taste! Service was good, a bit slow, but it was nice they weren't pushy, just let us be. :)

Interesting place some refer to as hipster. Good selection of beer - even Founders All Day IPA for those Michiganders looking for a taste of home. Darkly lit by lots of red candles. Friendly staff. Chicken sandwich was "interesting" according to my wife. Delivered cold and for buttermilk fried chicken probably should have been hot. Side salad served with was large and very good. I had the Corned Beef Reuben which sounded great on the menu. Probably the toughest pieces of meat I've ever been served. Even with a fork and knife I struggled to dissect it into bite sized pieces. Flavor was good but not worth the fight. Pea and mint soup served as a side was good but also not hot. Points for originality and staff. Points off for slow service (could that be why food was cold?). Overall, I think there are too many good options to go out of your way to get to P. Macs.

I wouldn't use the gastropub label yet. We came in for lunch and found the menu to be odd. For example, I got the nachos which came with cheese sauce and a tiny portion of meat on top. Then guac, sour cream and a weird chorizo onion mix was on the side. No salsa or pico de gallo. This left the lower chips dry and obviously food service grade. My husband had a burger which was small and lacked flavor. The staff was uninterested in serving us. The plus is that this place had a really cool Victorian gothic vibe. I recommend going in for a drink and music but find someplace else for a meal.

Worse meal in 4 days here in Ireland. Chicken melt was basically inedible! Dry over cooked covered in melted cheese. Possibly to cover the shit piece of chicken. Appetizers arrived after entrees. Would not recommend unless you only want a pint! Hairy Lemon right across the streets. Go there!

Server asked me if blue cheese was the same as ranch and that she didn't know a lot about food. Burger was over cooked and bacon was obviously microwaved. Strongest beer they have on tap is 6%. Not good for kids. Overall I do not recommend at all.

Very weird and interesting place. We loved that they had snugs, and the candles make for a unique environment. You wouldn't expect a place like this from the name, so I'm guessing many patrons are surprised to walk in to a place called P. Mac's and find a gothic rock-n-roll pub. The food was great, as was the service. The only negative was the volume of the music, which made conversation very difficult. We probably would've stayed for another round if we could have heard each other better. But you know... we're old.

Kicked off our first night in Dublin with a visit to P.Mac's based on loose recommendations that this was in a fun neighborhood and rave Yelp reviews. Yelp FTW! I echo the praises of others. The vibe was super casual and fun. Bold move to have burning candles on old-school candelabra. But makes for a great vibe! We grabbed beers at the bar and found a cozy table right in the front corner. Perfect for watching the action on the street and in the pub. We quickly ordered food - kitchen closes at 7:45! Once it came out we were not disappointed. The portions are generous and the food is very well prepared. After dinner, we were enjoying the atmosphere so much we ordered another round. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun spot to start the night! Be aware average age of crowd is on the younger side (mid 20s).

Sister spot to Blackbird in Rathmines. Has the same vibe. I love that they have little booths so you can get some separation from the crowd but you need to be there super early to get one. Can be very crowed at times and there is no garden to sit outside if the weather is good. They have a decent craft beer selection and the staff are pretty knowledgeable and friendly. The vibe is really easy going if a little bit hipster. The decor is really cool, kinda dark and cozy for those dreary Dublin days but a bit over kill in the summer. The also have games. Really solid spot for a chill drink and the location is really accessible.

We love, love loved this pub! They get three loves because of the 1. Tasty food 2. Great beers and 3. Inviting atmosphere This place is a gastropub, so they don't serve completely traditional Irish food; it's more modern. I got a soup that was on special. It was served with scrumptious soda bread. I've only been back in the states for a couple months and I already miss Ireland's soda bread! The soup was warm and comforting, exactly what I was craving after walking around outside on a chilly/overcast day. My husband got the buttermilk chicken burger. I thought he was silly for getting fried chicken in Ireland when we're from the states (not because I didn't think it would be good, but because I thought he might want to venture away from American food while we're visiting another continent) but the fries and aioli were soooo I good I ended up being very happy with what he ordered! They were my favorite part of our meal. The first beer we had here was INCREDIBLE. We had a large bottle of the White Gypsy Imperial Stout. Now I'm going to share an opinion that will potentially offend some Guinness lovers, but I think that this is the best stout in Ireland! It's smooth and delicious! Lastly, I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. It was lively, but not overcrowded, warm and cozy and I feel like whoever created the playlist needs to be my new best friend- great music!

If you've already read a few reviews about this place you probably know that you NEED to get the garlic parmesian bacon fries! I've eaten at many restaurants and traveled to my fair share of cities and this is easily up there with the best things I've ever eaten. Bottom line: Get the fries!

Great pub that plays great music! It's decorated somewhere between old man pub & hipster, has lots of random quirky little details. Has cute cosy looking snugs with doors on them, sadly I've never been lucky enough to nab one yet but the look cool, would be great for a small group or a date! If beer is your bag they've got a huge selection. Staff are friendly and sound. Lots of retro sweets behind the bar too which is a fun touch! Usually very busy in the evenings, can be hard to get a table.

P.Mac's is a lovely pub a mere stones trow away from Stevens Green shopping mall. It has a wicked selection of craft beer and decent foodmenu. If you are just a little peckish you should try the bacon and parmesan cheese fries. They are f...ing amazing!! If you just want to relax and read a book you should visit monday through thursday because it gets quite packed and noisy when the weekend comes. The furniture is a crazy mix of old stuff that they probably found at a yard sale and this choice of decor adds to the relaxed feel of the place. There are also some stalls you can retire into if you would like some more privacy and there's a vintage videogame over by the bar if you would like to kick some street fighter ass :-) Board games are also available if you are into that stuff. I miss P.Mac's already and can't wait to get back there this coming december. Please take good care of the place for me:-)

This place was crowded when we went...on St. Patrick's Day so DUH lol. Even while super packed, we managed to find a spot and got service promptly after. We ordered the typical tourist drinks of Guinness pints :D It was that awkward time between lunch and dinner. We thought hmmm should we starve till dinner or order some apps. Of course you know what we did - BRING ON THE APPS. We got the fries with this amazing aioli (I still dream of it), nachos, and tacos. Even after being a Texan and always super judgy about how tacos are, these were decent! If you're in the area, this is a great pub to check out.

I have been coming to P Macs since it has opened, and love their wide selection of beer. It always gets jammers though on weekends, and I definitely prefered the vibe when I came in on a tuesday evening. Easy to find a seat, but still enough clientele around to have that cozy feel. Well, it's so dimlighted that it always has the cozy factor I guess. As I write this I am still daydreaming about the buttermilk chicken burger I had here last night (14€) . Wow, that was some serious good stuff, served with avocado spread, a slaw, lettuce and right amount of spice. The fries were served in a funky cup (hello hipster!) and garlic sauce on the side. Their menu had so many items on it that I wanted to try, although next time it will be hard not to go for THAT AMAZING BURGER again. Did I already mention my burger was absolutely fabulous??

I really like the P.Macs! One of my fav pubs in Dublin, chill and cosy, with kind of small rooms on the side (when they are available is sooo perfect!), games.... Try their sweet potatoes chips as well (oh but remember that their kitchen closes very early)

I left my heart in Dublin.... At P macs! My favorite bar of all time. My first time in Dublin and I love the private room situation and the candles!!!! Candles galore everywhere, red dripping candle wax. I love it! Also had green spot whiskey for the first time and it's probably the smoothest ever. Staff was cool not overly friendly but not rude. Ambience is amazing. Great for a date or a boys night or a girls night or a whatever nice, seriously you could come here for everything and anything. I wish I could replicate this joint in NYC.

I recommend PMacs to my work colleagues so we stopped for a few drinks and dinner. Today I ordered the corn tortillas with pulled pork and sweet potatoes. Good food, few pints of Aspall cider and I was happy. My group were equally happy with the food, portion and very happy with the booth we got.

Its ok, my issue is that in yelp I searched for fish and chips and this came up. When I arrived for lunch it was a limited menu. The beer selection is fantastic but service is slow although servers are nice

Place is super cool. Sweet red candles on the tables that melt down. Really sweet beer list that is illuminated in red. Super hip, super intimate, great beer, food was rocking and super approachable. Very, very happy.

Enjoyed a bowl of purple carrot and courriander soup and brown bread which was delicious. The staff was helpful, ambiance eclectic and interesting. I went mid afternoon so there was not a crowd at all but when returning in the evening it was very crowded.

I visited a few pubs in dublin and this one was def my favorite. It had a really cool vibe and a very eclectic aesthetic. This is a great place to come drink some beers and play a board game

Yaaaay, P.Macs! Tired of people-watching at Clement and Pekoe, of electro boom boom ass shaking at District 8 and of kale juice sipping at Alchemy, but don't want to compromise your hipster vibe? P.Macs is the place for you! With a remarkable collection of craft IPAs, you'll definitely find here a great way to quench your thirst. Atmospheric place? Check! Young and beautiful people? Check! Prosecco on tap? Triple check! Unmatching furniture? Of course, check! An ironing board used at a table outside? Hm... Weird, but check! As you see, it has everything. Let's add to that a perfect location, and P.Macs is one of your fav bars in Dublin! Keep in mind that it is veeery loud on weekend nights, and pretty crowded. You can book a booth or a private space if you have an event. Trim your moustache, prepare your typewriter, and Slainte!

Had bacon fries and chicken wings. Both awesome. Melting red candle atmosphere, deff a you get crowd. Respectable "foodies" bar food, good music. Good stop.

P Mac's is a nice place. Its very dark in here but not in a Dracula's living room sort of way. Maybe in a middle aged man, who slicks back his hair, wears a three piece suit and dons a bow tie kinda way! The candle sticks look as if they fell fresh out of the pages of a Sherlock Holmes novel and would'nt look out of place perched on the mantlepiece in 221b baker street. Thats the kind of cool that this place oozes... Although its dark inside, the people who run this place are definitely full of bright ideas because the food being brought out to people looks fantastic. The Lagunitas IPA also looks fantastic might I add. They also have an array of board games. When I was a child I must admit I was probably given most of these as christmas presents and thought at the time that they should have been called bored games. But when you add some beer into the mix it can be a very relaxing way to kill a few hours here at P Mac's and reminisce over the thought that your parents were actually cooler than you gave them credit for at the time! It can get quite busy here and sometimes you may have to share a table. Word to the wise do not play Jenga if you happen to be a table sharer, unless the other table sharers are inquisitive foreign tourists and desperately want to know what the Irish Banking system collapse looked like!

Best onion cake I've ever had in my life. But not compared with the atmosphere that the service provides. Laughs. Good company. And mostly good cake. Thank you, MiHall! You dessert, you.

Stopped in for one drink after dinner. Place was hopping as I think it is most weekends. I was delighted to find they were serving Lindemans Framboise - it's rare enough in Dublin itself but they have it on tap! Brilliant :) Yes it is a little dark and quite hipstery but so what? If you're after a decent beer selection, great vibe, nice friendly staff & good service then this is the spot. Will definitely have to try another visit!!!

This place is awesome !!! The music , the decor kicks ass , not what I expected in Ireland . A huge selection of beers on tap , in bottle and can . Highly recommend the Vietnow IPA . Nice bar menu as well with vegetarian options . The staff are all friendly and the all bartenders ROCK!!! A must stop for visiting Dublin .

The masses have decided, and who am i to disagree. P.Macs would seem to be the place to be in town at the moment if you're looking for a cosy environment, sound bar staff, craft beer and a general friendly vibe. The inky walls of the old Bia Bar go perfectly with the flickering of the candles and the red neon signage that brings it back to present day, finding that perfect sweet spot between old fashioned comfort and new age retro. (is new age retro a thing? I'm making it one if not!) It was pretty rammed when I was in here on Friday, but not rammed in the sense that you've got people pushing into you - rammed in a much more refined sense in that we had to - gasp - share a table with two other people!!! They seem to serve food in here as well, which I didn't get to sample, but it smelled GOO-oood. I'm looking forward to heading in here on a Sunday early and getting one of those fabled booths, though I have a feeling they may be harder to pin down than Garth Brooks tickets...

I can't get enough of craft beer pubs and the newcomer P.Mac's is certainly a great addition to the city. More craft beers than I can wiggle at (Metalman on tap, yum) and friendly bartenders tossing you (wait for it... get your mind out of the gutter!) free snacks, board games to while away your time - what more can one ask for? Perfect location too - sometimes Black Sheep is just a little too north, and Against The Grain a little too south and Brew Dock a little bit too east but P.Mac's is right smack in the middle of all of them! Had a quick glance at the food menu too - very reasonably priced (most expensive option - steak and chips around €16)... will certainly try it next time round!

I've been coming to Valley Tavern for 3 years now as it's all you can ask for in a pub with TVs, a jukebox and an outdoor patio. It's a great spot to catch a Warriors game or just grab drinks with friends. Never been a huge Bloody Mary fan, but after watching the bartender make a few here I had to try one and... wow. They're legit. The Spicy Mule also gets the job done. Tons of beer on tap, which just adds to the appeal. Head to the back deck and you can kill a whole day before you even realize it.

I like P.Macs, a lot. They have Aspalls on tap here - yay! And they sometimes give you free crisps - double yay! The decor is great, if a bit dark. The furniture is a mish mash of mahogany tables and chairs of all types of styles. There are lamps of all shapes and size all over the place too. The background music is perfect, both the selection and the volume level. And the staff are nice folk, very casual and relaxed. The snugs are an excellent addition too, there are about four of them, I think. We were in the second one the last time we were here. It fitted six of us snugly. They have a great selection of beer, craft beer as well as the high street kind. Both in bottles and on tap. The toilets a tad far away, but are clean and well stocked in the usual toilet things. It will be my default go to pub in town now. It has a nice buzz to the place.

This fantastic little pub came highly recommended from a coworker. Obviously Dublin has no shortage of great watering holes. What I like the most about P.Mac's was the ambience. The longstem candles burning everywhere illuminating the otherwise dark areas really sets up a good vibe! The beer prices and selection are on par with most of the other pubs. There's plenty of seating away from the bar and this is a great place for small groups to assemble. If you like to snack while drinking they offer free chips. I was waited on by three different bartenders and they were all prompt and very friendly. Every frosty pint was delivered with a message. Cheers!

This place has great food and the drink selection was great mostly if you want something different from Guinness. The place has a cool vibe. I went here a couple of times when I was in Dublin and loved it. I definitely would stop by if I'm ever here again.
