Hacienda in Dublin

Shay is brilliant & everybody who knows him loves him. I’ve brought a few people here over the years & it’s always been a good time. If you ring the bell & get inside, you’ll feel right at home. Not too crowded, just perfect. The lady behind the bar is incredibly lovely too.

Class, offline hidden away Dublin bar. Shay the owner is as famous as the word famous. Do visit.

What an experience! We were just walking by and the owner invited us inside. The first impression was as if we were in some movie visiting a private pub in Hollywood or something. The owner is such a character and I can see that this pub is his life, which is really awesome.

Fantastic hidden spot with chill vibes.

Absolutely loved my experience at The Hacienda Bar in Dublin—it’s a true hidden treasure with a personality all its own. From the outside, it, but once you're buzzed in, you're welcomed into a wonderfully quirky space filled with charm and history. Shay, the charismatic host, makes everyone feel like a regular, and the atmosphere is warm, lively, and uniquely authentic. The decor is an eccentric blend of vintage touches and cheeky details, the jukebox is stacked with classics, and the whole vibe is inviting and unforgettable. It’s cash-only, which adds to the retro charm. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the hotel next door and were intrigued by the building. Looked on google and thought we would give it blast, if we could get in. Well we weren’t even asked a question about getting in , as when we came to the door, the fabulous Shay, was letting someone out, so he let us in. Great for a pint or a game of pool has the charm of an old pub. My two gay pals Dave and Paul, loved it. I think Shay thought I was there bodyguard… we went back the next night too. Loved the place. Great music in there also.
