Joli in Dublin

08/06/2025: Always like this place good music not over zealous table staff. Food is good.

25/05/2025: Nothing especially outstanding or remarkable a out this place, it's a pub on Abbey St , probably woth a visit if your missus is shopping in the nearby Jervis Centre but would I go there on a night out ?, probably not. On the plus side it's not in Temple Bar which we all know is a tacky, rip off tourist trap avoided like the plague by Dubliners and Irish people in general because of it's low quality food, drink and entertainment and it's insatiable greed , beggars, pickpockets and drunken English stag and hen parties. The Gin Palace is not bad , €6.90 for a pint of Smithwicks (about average), not especially friendly staff but efficent and professional, the place is clean, nice athmosphere and comfortable so no real issues at all. It's one disadvantage is it's location being on the north side of the city centre which is not the go to place for a night out, however there is a Luas stop outside and it is close to Dublins premier shopping street, Henry Street. So overall .....8 /10 is how I'd rate it which is twice the rating I'd give ANY pub in Temple Bar
