The Long Hall Pub

The Long Hall on South Great George’s Street is one of Dublin’s best-loved Victorian pubs, celebrated for an interior of carved wood, chandeliers, mirrors and ornate detail that has been kept rather than modernised away.

It is a drinking pub first and foremost, with pints pulled at a long bar and conversation taking the place of loud music. Space is limited and it fills quickly in the evenings, so an early call often pays off. For anyone touring the city’s historic pubs, it belongs near the top of the list.
