Authentic atmosphere, wood, lamps, wood, lots of wood, armchairs, sofas, and stools, a beautiful skylight, and interesting artwork on the walls in this true Victorian-style bar and pub. The beer, Guinness, is a must, and we can say it's perfect for any time of day... you walk in and feel comfortable, in the right place!

The Palace Bar was on my “Dublin Pub Crawl” list and also came recommended by a few different bartenders, so I knew it had to be good. It is a very nice place and clearly a popular spot for both tourists and locals, and it is obvious why. The atmosphere is sharp, classy and lively.
We went in hoping to grab a seat inside, but the place was completely packed. Not a single open chair. So we snagged a spot outside on the patio while I went back in to get our drinks.
And that is when the madness began.
In the thirty seconds it took me to get to the bar, the entire pub somehow filled up even more. People kept pouring in until there was barely any standing room left. It felt like the whole city suddenly decided to meet inside that one pub. Thankfully, I managed to get our pints before the real rush hit.
I asked my wife, “What happened? Did a few Dublin buses stop out front and unload people by the busload?”
We didn't stay long due to the crowds, but it was worth the visit.
Overall, The Palace Bar absolutely deserves its reputation. Great atmosphere, great energy and clearly a hotspot for just about everyone in Dublin. Just make sure your prepared for a crowd, this place fills up quick, no warning at all.

Lovely Irish pub with a great atmosphere that does a good Guiness. We have visited twice on our trip and each time it has been very busy (everyone is a little like sardines at the bar). You may find it hard to find a table or space at the bar to order a drink. Decor is really well done and feels very traditional. We would return!

The Best pint of Guinness in town! Fun atmosphere and a mix of locals and tourists. Allan and James are amazing Barmen! The prices are very reasonable unlike the more touristy bars down the road!

Qué fantástico pub irlandés verdadero con personal brillante que aprecia a sus clientes. Así que disfruté ayer allí después de Tipperary ganando toda Irlanda. Gracias. Up Tipp.
