Fitzsimons in Dublin

The beers are expensive compared to other pubs

I didn't stay at the hotel, I listened to the music and drank a Guinness. I chatted to the bar tenders and waved to the Germans. It was a great experience.

Great craic! Great energy! Lovely staff!

Amazing music. Party vibes but a bloody expensive pint!

Nice pub with live music. Great atmosphere.

I went to this place for a music evening, nice atmosphere, it was a lovely evening.

A great place to share a meal or a Guinness. Quick and professional service. They have live music very regularly, which is nice!

Update: I withdrew my one-star review and replaced it with a four-star rating. As a caregiver, navigating a busy city can be tough. We just wanted to enjoy a drink, relax, and listen. Sometimes, slowing down and truly listening can make a big difference. We believed the employee was a waitress serving at a bar. She was taking orders at a table. Neither she nor we knew that our goal was simply to listen and drink. The walker I brought had its own seat, and I could stand comfortably. While I’ve forgiven the interaction, that’s why I amended my review. The venue isn’t accessible for those with physical disabilities, which is why it doesn’t get a full five stars. We didn’t stay overnight here, nor did we try the suggestions I listed below during our brief visit. Regarding the earlier review: If you want to spoil a good time, this is the place! I brought my 81-year-old partner, who uses a walker, to enjoy some traditional Irish music. However, this spot feels more like a tourist trap aimed at Americans looking for Cottoneye Joe and Sweet Caroline, which are portrayed as traditional Irish tunes. For context, my partner is also a vegetarian. We arrived upstairs and met a friendly lady sitting alone, who offered us bar stools at her table. But then a waitress interfered, asserting that a table at the back of the bar was reserved for us—far away and down the stairs. We went along with her, despite her rudeness, but she became confrontational when we explained we just wanted to drink since we had already eaten. She became upset and told us to get our drinks at the bar, even though we were already there! In conclusion, this place is neither authentic nor worth your time. I recommend trying Cassidys, Humphries in Ranelagh, O'Regans, The Cobblestone Pub, The Pipers Corner, J.R. Mahons, McNeill's, The Celt, or O'Donoghues on Merrion Row.

Live music, great pub food. The Guiness stew I can really recommend.

Great atmosphere with a DJ in the basement. Live music on the ground floor, also with a great atmosphere.
