The Long Hall

The Long Hall has been around Dublin for a long time and will hopefully be around for the long haul aswell…
Its one of those beautiful pubs that has probably always looked pretty similar to the way it does today inside. In an era where everything is slatted wooden floors or terribly boring tiles its a nice shift to stand on «a luverly birra carpet…» its like standing upon one of your grannys finest sponge cakes because you literally sink like the titanic into the soft depths of the ice cold bar taps choosing your tipple.
But alas there can only be one here and its arthurs finest. The long hall is reknowned for a good pint of the black stuff. Tourists love it here but the barmen are modest. I overheard a guy ask whether it was the oldest pub in dublin and the Barman told him no that the title infact belongs to the brazen head.
Its this sort of genuine charm that will ensure that a visit to this popular haunt will never get old even though the bar itself already has.
Im taking away one point for the view of the outlet shop (closed down) across the street whilst perched in the window. Total eyesore. Still though hands down the best head in town, I shall attach a picture for your viewing pleasure!

One of my very favourite Dublin pubs. A real old school boozer. Good beer in a handy city centre spot. A definite contender for my top five Dublin Pubs.

My favorite pub in Ireland. I hit 38 of them while I was there.

May have been a sleepy evening, but enjoyed the slow company and whiskey selection. Friendly but straight forward staff. Not sure if this was a place locals hung out at as there were a fair amount of tourists here. Bathrooms were clean, that’s a plus.

An absolutely beautiful bar in Dublin. Definitely feel like you’re stepping back in time.
We only had time for a couple of pints, but the pours were marvelous. Staff was friendly and checked in without being intrusive.
The locals far outweighed visitors — a huge plus for us.
Highly recommend a stop in here.

Nice enough fairly traditional pub. Good selection of whiskey and a smallish craft beer and cider offering. Pretty busy spot given its location.

Victorian pub on George’s Street.
I’ve walked by here so many times and I’ve never visited. I’m very sorry I haven’t visited before. This is a fab spot but it does get quite busy. There was quite a few tourists in there so we grabbed a space at the bar and propped it up for a drink or two.
The taps for some of the beer are fab and I do like the old clock behind the bar.
I chose Stonewell Cider. They have an absolute great selection behind the bar. Definitely worth a visit.

Good pub! I can only speak for the beer and liquor and they stock the basics plus some. As for the food, no idea. This is another place to have a good time.

The Long Hall is one of my all time favorite pubs in Dublin. Its cozy and welcoming and will cheer you up after a long day of work ! And if you looking for a good spot to sit back and enjoy a good pint and chat with one of your mates there is no better place than the Long Hall. As being coeliac I cant judge the Guinness but my mates are always happy out while I am sipping away my cider and let the hours pass by. If you wanna get one of the comfi seats in the back I recommend get there early enough as those are gone in no time!

From what I can recall, The Long Hall is a traditional Irish Pub.

The interior is absolutely beautiful and it doesn’t get crowded during the day. That right there should be reason to come have a drink. The bartenders are friendly and cater to locals, which outnumber the tourists thankfully. I’d make this my neighborhood bar if I could, or bring it back to the states with me.

Classic pub, here’s where you want to go to grab a beer, hangout with friends. Simple and perfect.

This is not a gastro pub or an upmarket bar serving the latest pale ale– although they do have Galway Hooker on draft. This is a regular pub in town that could be your local. There’s always a good buzz in the place and a great mixture of locals and tourists who read their guide books. It’s mentioned a lot in guide books for Dublin!
The staff are friendly and efficient. I have only been here twice bit I enjoyed it both times. It’s a great place to come for a pint and a catch up.

The quintessential classic Irish pub. The interior is reminiscent of an old train station. Always packed with the after-​work crowd and generally busy on all nights of the week. Guinness on tap (obviously) and a fine selection of whiskeys and other spirits. If you’re visiting Dublin and you only have time to see one pub, this should be it.

Traditional, classic irish Pub. Not particularly big. Quit atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good to drop by for a quick beer.

Stopped in for a quick pint after dinner at a nearby restaurant. This pub has great ambiance… Victorian era with dark wood, impressive bar with antique clocks and paraphernalia decorating the place.
When you approach the bar there are several Guiness pint glasses waiting for the final pour. They also have a good selection of other beer, but i say if in Ireland, why drink anything other than Guiness.
A must visit if you are visiting Dublin.

My favorite pub in city centre Dublin (my other favorite Dublin pub is Kavanaghs).
The Long Hall bills itself as a Victorian-​Era pub, which, as far as I can tell, simply means that the pub dates back to the late 1800s and is committed to preserving the antiquated paraphernalia of this era, along with boasting dark wood, lots of brass around the bar and old taps. The end result: the Long Hall is staggeringly impressive.
You know it’s serious business when no less than ten Guinness pint glasses are lined up behind the bar, half-​full, awaiting their top-​off push. It was a Friday night around 8:30 pm and we experienced laser efficiency: we were targeted, one barman took our order, the other poured, a third took our money. Amidst this frantic business, a very peculiar phenomenon had taken hold of the packed-​solid room: you could have a conversation.
Could the grandeur at the bar be responsible for the reverential behavior of the patrons? I’m not sure. The place was so civilized, yet so crowded. Conversation on a Friday night, and so close to Temple Bar. Impossible, you say! No, it’s here.
Think velvet, copper & brass, old clocks, old lanterns, dark wooden panels, intricate chandeliers. And the perfect pint. May the Long Hall live on!

17:43:00. Friday.
There’s a newspaper on the bar. You are clearly the first person the barman has seen in hours and he’s slumped on the bar, completely bored. He has memorized all the Crosaire clues and solved none. He looks up and asks.
«Refreshing sea tears a soft piano»
«You’ve lost me. Quiet night, eh?»
17:59:42. Friday.
The temperature rises a degree. Anxiety in the country rises. The stock index drops a few points in every company with the exception of those which manufacture alcoholic drinks.
17:59:59. Friday.
Ceremoniously, the barman stands to attention. Fresh-​faced and enthusiastic; probably a military man. He finishes pouring your Guinness from the tabernackle. The blood of the working man.
A million bells ring simultaneously as a thousand meetings are postponed. If you listen carefully, you can hear a low rumble.
18:00:00. Friday.
You blink.
Every office in the world is now empty.
This pub now has a larger population than China.
You hear the distinctive hissing of the Guinness tap. It reminds you of Niagara Falls. Of course, Niagara Falls has nothing on this — neither in terms of the number of visitors, nor of the quantity or quality of liquid flow.
Your eyes are opened. A keg runs empty. The barman goes to replace it.
18:03:00. Friday.

The world is getting thirsty. A patron opens the entrance to the cellar. The barman is not there. Nobody can explain it.
Your pint is empty. Time to move to another bar.
18:04:00. Friday.
In Fagans, others usually now drink Juinness. Every session’s usual stout.

Great Dublin pub this, the best front of any pub in Dublin, check the pictures out. Inside its all wood and shiny light fittings.
There are usually lots of people in this bar it is popular, so if you want to enjoy a quiet chat try it during the daytime.
Very good pub.

I like this place. I like it a lot.
Firstly, it’s obviously amazingly beautiful, both externally and internally. This really is a truly elegant old (and long as the name suggests!) bar on South Great George’s Street. The owners obviously put a lot of money and effort into keeping the place spick and span and purty, and it’s really paid off. Check out any of the photos accompanying it and you’ll see.
The other thing is, there are no fake ‘ye old Ireland’, ‘check me out I’m an old man’s pub, no honestly I’ve been here forever’ signs all over the walls. This IS an old pub, the Victorian paraphernalia and décor is fully authentic — in fact the Long Hall is actually a listed building, which proves my point! There are muskets, old paintings, and ancient looking chandeliers, all crammed in together with lots of shiny brass, huge alcohol selection, and some ‘old Dublin’ characters.
You’ll get a great pint of Guinness here, guaranteed (another one to add to the list!), and the prices are pretty reasonable.
Now the only thing is, this place gets rammed at the weekends. Another one that’s a bit of a victim of it’s own success. Having said that, if you get in there during the day, you’ll be in luck. I was there last Saturday day time, and we were in the company of only three others, so pick your time wisely, and you’ll be grand.

Very good beer.
Very nice

Es handelt sich um ein traditionelles Pub, in dem man sich noch unterhalten kann und in welchem kaum Fernseher laufen. Besonders toll finde ich die Spiegel in der Bar, das ist schon was besonderes. Es verkehren dort auch viele Einheimische, aber auch Touristen und Deutsche, die in Dublin beruflich tätig sind, kann man antreffen. Es ist eines meiner Lieblingspubs in Dublin, einen Besuch dort kann ich nur empfehlen. PS: Es heisst wirklich Long Hall.

Schön alt eingerichtetes aber dennoch mordernes kleines Pub, das etwas dezentral liegt, jedoch eine tolle Atmosphäre hat.
Hier treffen sich die Einheimischen auf ein Pint oder mehr
Ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert.
