Live music here is the best part, the pub has a nice atmosphere to it. Beers are great and the staff is really nice. I guess the part where this place fails is FOOD. We were really disappointed by the amount of salt that was used in the food better less than too much, you can always add more. The stew barely had any beef, more veggie and sauce than anything else. The kitchen is definitely not their area of expertise. I had better meals for less than we paid here for sure. Given the fact that Ireland is full of pubs, I will definitely elect to go anywhere else before ever coming back here if I’m hungry.
Went here last night on a Friday night about half 11. Was definitely no Irish people in there except those working, probably because of the price of a drink think we paid just under 16 euros for 2 pints of cider but that doesn’t seem unusual for tourist bars in the area. Was packed and took a while to get served bar staff seemed a bit slow but seemed to be aware of who was next. But the live singer was great, very wide range of music including Irish folk songs, 80s to modern pop/rock. Good range of ages/nationalities and fantastic atmosphere. Would recommend if you’re looking for a drink with atmosphere in Temple Bar. Also has a late license 2.30 am. But not the place to go for an authentic Irish experience/to rub shoulders with locals.
Nice place with a long history which I'd encourage you to read before taking your seat. Fish and chips tasted great, and as most places in Dublin they know how to pour a good pint of Guinness. Was lucky enough to eat while they had live music, which enhanced the atmosphere.
Had high expectations for the Norseman and was a little disappointed by the experience. The menu they have online is more extensive than what we got on the day - they didn't have the Irish stew pie, just the stew, and the desserts were limited and missing the peach and pear cobbler I wanted to try. The ambience of the restaurant was quite nice but it was very dark to the point its really hard to read the menu. But it was quite good that the sounds from the pub area downstairs didn't travel up to the restaurant much. There was a problem with our starters that one of the dishes was apparently not included in the order when printed to the kitchen while the rest went though. It was a little odd and left some of the members of our party without food for the first while. I do wish that the waiters noticed this discrepancy as they had given us side plates for the missing dish but it was only when we brought it up that they noticed. They were quite apologetic and gave us free dessert for the mistake but I did wish they were a bit more proactive about it when it was clear there were dishes missing when the starters came out. As for the food itself, it was grand but nothing to write home about. The steaks were quite standard and their chicken was nice. The chicken portions could stand to be a bit more and could use a bit more sauce. The cheesecake and the gataeux were quite nice for dessert.
Reduce space, but for the excellent service and the food is highly recommended. Fish and chips or the smoky burger are the best. It's possible eat the classic Irish stuffed with mash potatoes. Good beer selection. Average price. Booking not required.
Stayed in one of the rooms here and it was great. The location is excellent in the very center of Dublin. You should expect it to be pretty loud because of this. Note that this also includes ~7am in the morning when all the bars are loading their used kegs onto trucks. But the staff were helpful, the room clean, and earplugs are in all the rooms already. Excellent experience, would recommend. The bar is also fine, the drinks a little expensive for the area but the live music makes it worthwhile.
Absolutely loved the stew I ordered and the beer as well! The live music was great not too loud and we had fun watching one of the matches of the World Cup there. Would definitely go back.
Came here as part of a pub crawl and had a great time. Excellent live music and a friendly, jovial atmosphere. Bartenders were on the ball so we weren't waiting too long for drinks.
My friends and I went to the pub last night and unfortunately it was ruined by an absolute vile man who thought he had the right to touch me inappropriately. The bartender called the bouncer who had him escorted out and even checked to see if I was ok. As the man was getting escorted out that’s when two of his other friends decided to get physical with the bouncer. 3 men on one man. While watching this I was completely disgusted at the lack of support from the manager/ other bouncers. The fact that you just watched your colleague get beaten up and the best you can do is wave your hands and tell them to stop. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I never got the bouncers name but I just want to say thank you for everything. I am so sorry that you had to endure that. Thank you so much.
Wanted to experience a pub in Dublin with live music, and this was less busy than most. Maybe because of the prices......12 euro for a lager and a small soft drink. Pleasant atmosphere and the fella singing was good, not just playing tourist Irish songs.Service: 4/5
