We very much enjoyed this. Pub. Stopped to split a quick meal and grab another Guinness.  The bar keep was very nice, although I don't think he understood us, but he smiled through it.  He seated us in a cute little table for two that had the traditional partitions which has a tourist I really enjoyed.  Very much recommend this cute pub!

Absolutely sterling pub!  We had wandered through the streets of Temple bar looking for anywhere decent and appetising  for a good hour but only found uninspiring "pubs" with expensive menus offering naff looking food. The vibe in these gaffs was unappealing too, hen dos and bad oasis covers everywhere. We gave up and decided to cross the river. I'm so glad we did.  We stumbled past the Oval Bar and we're instantly taken by it. On the outside it looks unpretentious and on the inside the decor is a stunning Georgian splendor. By the door you will find 7 busts of the men who proclaimed the Irish Republic in 1916. This is a hint at the part this pub has in Dublin's history. The full history of the pub can be found on the website and is a recommended read. If you are on a tour of Dublin's historical landmarks this would be a great stop off as it's just minutes from the GPO.  The service was warm and welcoming. We ate on the first floor while a gent sat on the ground floor playing the fiddle while enjoying a pint of the city's famed porter. We ordered the Steak & Guinness Pie and the Irish Stew which was received with a knowing smile from the waitress, "Could of guessed that order?" I joked. "It's by far the most common order" she replied. Both dishes were a very reasonable €15, significantly cheaper than anything in Temple Bar. They were full of flavour and the meat was plentiful.  We left full, happy and incredibly glad we didn't give up and cram ourselves into a pub in temple bar.

At a retirement party for a colleague. Very tasty platters of assorted foods were served. The Guinness, as ever, was excellent. Sadly the upstairs area was being refurbished the night we were there so we were a wee bit cramped downstairs. That said a great night was had by all and we will be back again.Food: 5/5

Another classic Dublin pub! The Guinness was first rate & the bar staff were really friendly & helpful. Food not tried so cannot comment, Note the pub has a dress code which looks to try & keep out big groups wearing team colours etc.

A great place to be! The food is excellent, try their Irish stew. The team is smiling, we had a great time.Food: 5/5

We went to this place as it was recommended, the soup was watered down, the Irish stew was more like potato stew and had no flavour, the little meat that was in there was cooked nice and that was the only thing that gave them a 2 start instead of a 1. The manager came up and shouted how the service and food were, but before I had a chance to tell him, he ushered the two young waitresses down the stairs. He reduced the bill as a food will gesture. Maybe next time I am in Dublin, I will give them a second chance or maybe not.

Great bar with awesome staff. It was quite busy when we arrived, but the staff made all the effort to make us feel welcome and kept an eye out for an open table for our group. Each staff member we interacted with were helpful and friendly. Food was incredibly delicious for the simple bar menu. We ordered the Irish Stew, naturally, and the daily feature which was Lamb Chops with mashed potatoes & gravy with a side bowl of vegetables. Definitely will be coming back at least once or twice more just for the stew before we leave Dublin, it's that good! 100% recommend

A beautiful bar in Dublin that had been in existence since over 200 years ago. I will be back the next time I'm in Dublin.Food: 5/5

It's a great afternoon pub . Dublin at its best. Sausages and chips are enough to feed two , the beer was cold . The bar man was friendly.Food: 5/5

Amazing inventory of Whiskeys and they pour a delicious pi t of the black stuff. We loved this barService: 5/5
