Had a great evening here with friends. Great atmosphere with an open area. Definitely going to visit this place again.

The Bar With No Name: A Plea to Preserve Its Soul
⭐⭐⭐ (3/5 stars)
After 8+ loyal years at The Bar With No Name, I'm disheartened by recent changes since Simone left and new management took over. This wasn't just another Dublin pub - its house-like décor, alternative atmosphere, and exceptional cocktail menu (especially that unforgettable passion fruit caipirinha) made it truly special.
Today, I found my favorite cocktails gone from the menu. The staff kindly made our passion fruit caipirinha when requested, but its absence from the menu signals a concerning shift.
This matters because unique offerings attract unique people. By standardizing the menu, you risk becoming just another pub that could exist on any Dublin corner, attracting generic crowds rather than the distinctive clientele that built your reputation.
The Bar With No Name has always been the place I proudly showed visiting friends - "You won't find this anywhere else." That exclusivity is your strength, not something to discard.
This isn't a complaint but heartfelt feedback: your bar's character was built through years of distinctive choices. Honoring that legacy while evolving is possible. Please don't sacrifice what made this place extraordinary - Dublin has enough ordinary pubs, but only one Bar With No Name that we've loved for nearly a decade.

Good selection of cocktails however the ones we wanted were out of the homemade syrup so we had to try other cocktails on the menu. They were ok, nothing special. Atmosphere is really cool, great vibe and great service.

Really nice spot, great terrace area but the cocktails for 14 euros should be much better quality. The espresso martini I ordered wasn't good. Too sugary, too thin, off balance. You get a proper one for the same price across the road.

So incredibly busy any time I am there, waiting 10-15 minutes to be served. No seats left after a certain time, and can sometimes be difficult to even move around due to how busy it is

Always a great spot in Dublin. Vibe is great, crowd are friendly and it's always busy except in the early evening. Smoking area is quite big.

Had a horrible experience here. Just got refused because I’m a gay man. Want to single out Shivu for worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s the worst example of power going to someone’s head since a German man with a moustache. Would not recommend if you are a gay man or of any sexual orientation. Hogans next door is a great spot.
