Vat House in Dublin

Great pub, comfortably furnished with friendly staff and fantastic live music. The band takes requests and interacts with the audience. Definitely recommended! We came for drinks and music and weren't disappointed.

Turhan, the bartender from Turkey, made my night. He was delightful and even made a shamrock on my Guinness. As someone who has lived abroad, it’s always nice to meet a fellow expat who is full of great stories and smiles.

Always good music and cráic here! It's our go-to when we're in the Temple Bar area, and looking for music and a pint or dram.

Such an amazing bar! Came 4 years ago and now back in 2026 and cannot express how great our night was. Vibe was on point, amazing live music and Turhan our host was spot on for beer recommendations and wonderful conversation

Beef burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato, served with a huge fried onion ring and fries—good and flavorful. Grilled salmon with basmati rice, sautéed vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, and onion), fresh vegetables (cherry tomatoes and lettuce), orange slices, and garlic sauce—good and delicate. And for dessert? Baileys cheesecake with vanilla ice cream—it was so good, it was out of this world. Gorgeous and carefully prepared dishes. Live music, friendly staff. They don't have vegetarian options. Prices are a little higher than in the area, but not by much.

Nice pub, tasty food that is well-seasoned.

Delicious drinks, great live music! And despite being centrally located in Temple Bar, it's not too crowded. A little hidden gem!

Live music every night. Simple but good food and a wide selection of beers. Ideal for getting into the Irish spirit.

Great for local food and good beer, wearing Irish hats. Too bad the live music is so loud you can't even talk at the table.

Ok bar, but traditional Irish music isn't John Denver...
