Mulligan’s

Good pint of Guinness and nice little pub away from the main crowd.

This boozer is quality.
For all you Guinness drinkers out there, This is where you should go for top of the range roasters (pints of guinness).
Gets extremely busy at times but this can only be a good thing.
Definitely one of my top 5 Dublin pubs.

A great Dublin pub to be sure.
I remember when I first moved to Dublin and mobile phones were the new rage, Mulligans famously refused to allow anyone to use them! I think this was before the time people had the smarts to turn their phone to quiet. Needless to say, I wasn’t told to put it away when checking in or taking snaps.
Apart from that, not much else seems to have changed. Apart from the beer selection, they do now stock a range of craft beer as well as the more main stream fare.
The big tables here were ideal for our group of people. Lots of people.
The décor is still fantastic Dublin Pubish and the staff prompt.
A most excellent visit.

A local pub in the city centre. It’s far enough off the Temple Bar to not be rammed full off tourists, instead it seems it’s probably the most popular ‘local’ as it seemed rammed full of Dubliners.
A traditional Irish pub which seems quite small on the outside but is quite cavernous for a ground floor pub. It has two long saloon bars one which ends in a small snug room and the other in a much larger ‘beer hall’ for the lack of a better word.

Good owl traditional Irish bar .
Nothing fancy just good pint with decent service
Gets a bit crowded but you can never go wrong stoping off here for pint !

Here’s a place that reminds me of working Dublin. The walls are lined with Dublin’s history, big and small: the passing of a beloved teacher, awards from a local business society, references to Joyce, ah, and the races.
The pub is, like many old Dublin institutions, divided by the bar into two halves. The left half seems to have a bit more of the craic, but the right is where you learn your stories. The back has what look like proper dining areas, though I can’t be sure if anything more than Arthur’s liquid dark bread is ever consumed.
The pints are poured with care, and they are taking part in the Brewer’s Project, meaning you can try all the «experimental» beers Guinness is playing with these days. The beer selection runs the full spectrum.
Conveniences are in fair condition, and not even down any steps, making this place friendly for all ages, 8 to 80. I’d give it two thumbs up, but my hands are full of pints, so cheers!

Tucked away on Poolbeg Street this gem is quite well known judging by the tourist traffic it receives. Not surprising either as it is what it is, a genuine Irish pub. Not the tacky, diddly-​i kind but the real deal. The staff are welcoming and are never patronising to tourists ordering their glass of Guinness (which many city centre pubs are guilty of). It’s not shy on locals either which makes sense as it’s definitely one of the best pints of Guinness in town. Whether it’s a cheeky after work pint or a Saturday session, Mulligans has you covered

Das Mulligan’s ist eines der ältesten Pubs in Dublin.
Bereits 1782 soll es eröffnet worden sein. Zwar stammt
das Interieur nicht aus der Gründungszeit des Pubs,
aber man merkt, daß es in Würde gealtert ist.
Dieser Pub ist genau so, wie ich Pubs mag. Dunkel,
alt, irgendwie verwohnt. In dieser Kneipe haben
ernsthafte Trinker sehr ernsthaft getrunken. Mit
etwas Sensibilität spürt man Schwingungen in der
Luft, und diese Schwingungen wispern: wenn Du
schöné, bunte und hippe Schickimicki-​Drinks
möchtest…dann zieh Leine und verschwinde.
Hier ist ein ein Pint Guinnness dein einziger
Freund, und vielleicht ein «ball of malt», eine Kugel
Malzwhiskey dazu. Wer sich diese Schwingungen
übersetzen lassen muß, der ist definitiv in der
falschen Kneipe.
Die Stühle im Mulligan’s sind relativ unbequem,
aber wir saßen sowieso nur kurze Zeit auf Ihnen.
Es dauerte nicht lange, bis wir von zwei Dublinern,
die am Tresen standen und tranken, aufgefordert
wurden, es Ihnen gleichzutun.
Das gefiel uns an diesem Pub ganz besonders gut.
Er wird zwar auch von Touristen frequentiert, aber
der Großteil der Gäste besteht aus Iren, mit denen
man hier noch schneller ins Gespräch kommt,
als es bei der scheinbar angeborenen Eloquenz
der Iren ohnehin der Fall ist. Wir genossen unseren
Aufenthalt dort über alle Maßen.
Zudem: das Mulligan’s ist auch literarischer Boden,
denn es wird bei James Joyce erwähnt. Zitat:
«When the Scotch House closed, they went round
to Mulligan’s.»

What a great pub. Best Guinness in Dublin. Staff are friendly and good banter. Pints after work on Fridays. Happy days.

This pub was introduced to be as one of the best places to enjoy a pint of Guinness… I was not disappointed. The creamy head alongside the bitter and smooth stout… Who ca resist? The atmosphere leaves me wanting more but its an «old man’s pub». Try the Murphys as well. very good. The bathrooms are clean and has a big area so it never feels crowded. Then again I only visit for day pints so don’t know what its like in the evening. A staple everyone should visit at least once

A real gem of a pub. No cocktails, no food and no frills. Just how a local pub should be.
Mulligan’s is steeped in history and tradition and has a wonderful atmosphere. Although, not too far from the hustle, bustle and paddy-​whackery of Temple Bar, it really is leagues apart.
If you want a glimpse of what an authentic Irish pub looks like, pay a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

I reviewed the wrong Mulligans but can’t figure out how to delete the review so…5 stars?!

Mulligans doesn’t care whether you like it or not. It hasn’t changed since my first visit in the mid-90’s, and nobody wants it to.
Mulligans is a time machine to a simpler Dublin, before cocktails and bar food. If that’s your idea of hell, you have plenty of other options nearby and Mulligans will not, cannot, must not change.
Keen-​eared drinkers will enjoy eavesdropping on the journalists and political backroom staff who swap gossip here.

I really liked Mulligan’s. As soon as I walked in, I did feel out of place. I was the only female in the room, and most of the guests were in their mid to late 40’s. But I loved that. It felt real and authentic. They have WiFi and the bartender was such a sweetheart offering me suggestions on what to do in Dublin. And I also agree with most of the other reviewers; the Guinness was delicious and it cost 4.90 euros for a pint.

A world Classic.
Dublin Pubs do not get better than this. That the standard of Guinness is staggeringly high is reason enough but this place has something timeless in its stained wood fittings. The Bar area is the best place to get a feel for how Dublin pubs probably were decades ago. Its ceiling is low and you feel as if you are entering a secret as you step through the door.
But as the place fills and the hubbub of conversation rises, Mulligans is transformed into a celebration of life, an oasis away from the real world in where friendship, love conviviality, philosophy and beer mix wonderfully. A classic time-​warp, a classic pub.

GO THERE! NOW!
It is a little bit off the path, but then… not really off the path. If you don“t know it, you would not suspect it to be there. It is the quintessential Irish pub, probably the best I’ve been in Dublin. It is… I don’t know how to say… original in terms of atmosphere and guests. So — just go there.

Off the beaten path, but not difficult to find. Astoundingly sound staff, and an excelelnt selection of– and support for — craft breweries.
Always jammers. Why? Because it’s that good.

I’ve been to Mulligans thrice: three years ago, two years ago, and very recently. There was very little variation between the visits. Each time it delivered what you want in a stellar Irish pub: a fresh, rich pint; patrons from varied walks of life; a sense of history and camaraderie. My reading tells me the Irish Times was born here, and there’s something remarkably reflective, even inspiring, about the main back room that gives the place a newsy, broody feel. If I didn’t know that literary intellects had previously occupied these barstools, would I still feel this way? I don’t know, but I’ve convinced myself that it’s palpable.
The pub is brilliant at 5 or 6 pm on a summer’s weekday. The financial and business suit-​and-​tie crowd is five feet deep and spilling out the double doors onto the street, vying for those precious moments of sun and cigarettes-​before-​home. It can get obnoxious, but the energy is electric.
In all, deserving of a visit. Pints are slightly pricier here than other Dublin haunts.

Mulligan’s claims to have the best Guinness and although it tasted the same to me this was our favorite pub. We seemed to have been the only tourists. Everyone else appeared to be locals stopping in for a drink after work to watch the game. The most enjoyable experience was overhearing those wonderful Irish accents and watching yell for their team.

This is hands down, my favorite pub in Dublin. Not touristy, no frills, old décor and locals. This is the perfect place to come for a pint and a chat.
I love the sign above the bar that reads «When I die, bury me under the pub… so my husband will visit me 7 days a week!»
Very good pints and very chill atmosphere. When you’re looking to dodge the touristy parts of Dublin, slip into Mulligan’s for a pint. Some say it’s the best pint in Dublin, and I’m inclined to agree with them.

You want a proper Dublin pub? Come here.
Dark wood, 1960’s fixtures and fittings.
We sat at the bar and a frosted glass feature was between us and the bartender, you poked your head under it to ask the bartender for a drink. Great spot, great mix of age groups and sexes.
And how about the pints? Easily in my top 5 of the best places for Guinness… Mmm craving one now!

Je confirme l’avis d’Izy: la Guinness est ici irréprochable, le décor désuet et patiné porte le poids des ans et des artistes qui fréquentèrent l’endroit… Mais ce n’est pas le lieu magique où rester longtemps, ni même pour y aller aux toilettes !
