The Rag Trader in Dublin

After reluctantly agreeing to celebrate my birthday, I booked The palour in The Rag Trader for a Sunday afternoon. It was perfect! It suited every age from 1 - 75. There were 24 of us, and even though we overflowed a bit, it didn't make a difference. Very relaxed and comfy. Lovely place. Dillon was brilliant looking after us, friendly and very attentive. Totally recommend!

We had a big group get together the other Sunday (30+ people) and Shane was able to make sure everybody was being looked after while also attending to the rest of the bar. Really nice spot, good selection of drinks and a really nice atmosphere in the centre of town.

Popular bar with a nice vibe. €8.50 deal for a pint and a shot. Serves a good pint of Guinness. Live sports shown on the TV

I spent a while chatting with everyone. Staff is incredibly fun and friendly. Dave’s hands make the best old fashions. Had a great time with great drinks!!!

Garett and Dave what a brilliant duo behind the bar … my first day in dublin I didn’t only get an amazing old fashioned which I have never liked in the past but also the comedy show of these two gentlemen working together… would have paid money to see them :)… then I came back on Saturday and the speed in which they both serve drinks without comprising its taste is very impressive… and on Sunday I went back once more to have a lovely last evening in Dublin and Garett kept me entertained and gave me some life lessons and wisdoms that I will never forget! what a true Irish old school gentleman he is! We also met Mark and he is just as fantastic as the rest of the team… his Amaretto sour with a cherry twist is a drink I will come back for as well as both Dave’s and Garret’s old fashioned cocktails the place has a wonderful atmosphere but these three gentlemen is the reason I kept going back and will come back in the future!

Friendly service and huge selection of whisky

Excellent whiskey selection, great food and exceptional service. We were on a family trip to Ireland to spread my uncle's ashes and our time at the Rag Trader was one of the highlights of the trip. The staff, especially Garrett, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. I highly recommend it.

Good atmosphere, very friendly and the best price on beers (of which we have tried in Dublin)

Lovely staff, greeted with a cheery hello as soon as we stepped through the door. The gentleman who served behind the bar was a breath of fresh air and had a great sense of humour. Would recommend.

Absolutely lovely bar and absolutely lovely Guinness. Big shout out to Jesse the bartender, whose expertise and personality were a big part of such a positive experience! If I ever make my way back to Dublin I'll be sure to return!
