Dublin Pub

The inside looked great and the atmosphere was nice, but we had the misfortune of being helped by Mckenzie. Not only did we wait an eternity to place our order, but when she finally rang my friend and I up, the service was terrible. I was waiting for my friend to pay for her food and drink, when she asked me what I was having. I responded, and when she told us the total, we told her «oh, we are paying separately.» For this, we were scoffed at and snappily told that she «wish we had told her that sooner.» I was not aware that if two people are ordering food and drinks at a bar, that the common practice is to assume that they are paying together and then to get pissed when they point out that they are paying separately. As that was my first time there, although I enjoyed the atmosphere and their selections, I have no reason to return.

It’s a bit «weathered», but this is a great bar. The live music on Friday Nights is a lot of fun, and the sound quality is decent. The food is standard fried and cheese covered bar fare, and it is done well and comes out quickly. The Irish nachos are a particular stand-​out. The staff are eclectic, eccentric and just fun to be around. We caught some live music and enjoyed their considerable taplist.

I went in there for trivia Wednesday night (as I have for many years) and a different bartender was working. JT instead of Tim. I ordered a hot tea and a hot toddy. He rang me up and then walked away. He proceeded to set a table for a group coming in while I waited for my drink. After waiting a few minutes he said «the waters not hot, I’ll bring it to you when it’s ready». I waited 20 min, asked a server who said «did he help you? (Pointing at JT) then you need to ask him» so I asked him and he said he would bring it when it was done. After 25 min he brought it and it was barely warm and not full (and in a pint glass). I walked it up to the counter he rudely looked at me and I told him it was not warm. He just stared at me so I asked if maybe I could just have a pbr instead. He grabbed it opened it and then walked away. No offer to refund the difference, no apology, nothing. I later decided to ask for the $ 5.50 difference plus $ 2.00 tip to be refunded to my card since I had already closed out. He said «I can delete it» I asked for a void receipt so I knew I wouldn’t be charged. He said «well I can’t magically make my register print you that receipt». I am so furious at how demeaning he was to me and to learn JT was a partial owner was astounding. I will never go in there again and I will make sure I run my mouth about how terrible it really was. Shame too because the other bartender Tim has never been anything short of great.
**update** the $ 8 charge is no longer pending on my card it has gone through. So in addition to horrible service I was charged a total of $ 11 for a can of pbr

This place is abominable. I ordered the «Irish Nachos» and started farting out their foul grease within fifteen minutes of consumption. My bowels had to evacuate the nachos in the abysmal restrooms before I even left the establishment. I wish I had been drunk enough to erase this from my memory. Sadly their huge tap list also sucks. Do yourself a favor and head elsewhere. The management is also ridiculous and incompetent.
I would not recommend this bar to anyone.

Bar tender is conscientious.
Food is average for pub food. I’ve been here 3 – 4 times now and it seems like a Mcmenamins but a little better. They’ve got Lottery and a little trashy edge that’s lea it that way.
They occasionally have some live tunes.
Not a bad place to drop onto for a beer.
A place to go with a buddy, but not necessarily the place to go for a conversation with a stranger.

This is a really BIG Irish pub! There are TV screens that are a little bit too small for how massive the pub is, so if you want to watch some sports, you should try to situate yourself closer to a TV, otherwise, it’s going to be a lot of squinting.
The whole pub is a little dark and there are a lot of little steps everywhere so BE CAREFUL! Watch your step!
The food was decent. I wouldn’t rave about it but it wasn’t atrocious either. I tried the burger and corned beef sandwich. The burger was decent but I felt like the corned beef sandwich was too oily. The bread was all soaked in oil and soggy. After I finished eating it, I felt a little sick from ingesting that much oil. The pickle that came with it looked funny, almost like it was fake, but it tasted normal.
The service was pretty good, they always made their rounds and made sure we were happy, well fed and well hydrated.
I probably wouldn’t come back again just because the food didn’t really impress me and I’m all about the food, but I’m glad I came. I didn’t get to try their drinks, but I heard they were pretty good! Worth visiting to check out the ambiance!

Puzzled by low ratings until i read a few of them.
The Dublin is genuine if not a bit edgy and my favorite thing about them is that they are always open to helping out the small scale brewer. The Dublin gave the Widmer brothers a shot back when they were working out of their garage. Gotta like that.
Brewpubs push their own products — good and bad. The Dublin laid some of the track this great beer town runs on and is a great place.
As for the service: I have been ignored by power tripping hipster bartenders at much better places than this. You should expect that at any place.
As for the food: I will take the crispy tots at the Dub over the limp, greasy, over-​seasoned basket of fries at McMenamins any day.

«54» beers on tap, all mediocre local alternatives to budlight. Get your favorite widmer beer here, out of a dirty glass at room temperature, from behind a really sour smelling bar! All aboard to Nowhere! Woowoooooo~ While your at it get that disgusting ass chef salad and some lame nachos and tater tots from some very dirty oil. All overpriced, but atleast they have a bathroom after you lube up those intestines with them tots! No outdoor seating so they are probably dead all summer. The interior is pretty cool with the dark crypt like tavern feel though. Terrible staff.

Absolutely terrible service everything was over priced, the beer was flat and the bartender was acting like he was on a power trip while the service was very slow

Horrible service on a Friday night with very little people in the bar. We ordered a second round of drinks and the bartender forgot to bring them. When I asked her she basically told me she didn’t care… thank gosh there are many other bars in the area.

It’s an Irish bar, it’s a sports bar, its a dive bar, in the suburbs, it’s super bar!
This ramshackle building probably grew in stages, how old was the original? The central bar is small for the size of the building, but efficient with a great tap selection.
The Dublin Pub is about half a mile from one of the oldest houses and a barn that was the half way point for people traveling by horse from Portland to Beaverton. That house is at the corner of SW Hamilton and Shattuck — the Tigard Rogers House, 4504 S.W. Shattuck Road, built about 1855 — and it is still standing.
The Dublin Pub also joins the list of small museums for its collection of tap handles. They have gathered them and display them over 50 feet of ceiling cornice around the bar area.
In the past, Dublin drew from the West, but now the West has fancified. Raleigh Hills is not the center of the known universe. But there is a lot of dense housing nearby, and Dublin can be a destination for that.

First impressions were this seems like a nice place to hang out and watch a football game. But watch the bar tender he pours very weak drinks. Crapy attitude rude and just a dick.

The server was terrible! He seemed clueless and annoyed about not splitting our ticket amongst our table, which was so weird.. The happy has since changed to bed at 6:30 yet the online info still displays it ending at 7pm. We all order chicken strips and 3 of our 4 strips we’re complete gristle! !! And the fries tasted old and saturated with bad oil. Take my advice and go a couple blocks down and go to the raccoon lounge instead!!!

I had to wait a few day to write this reveiw in order to remain objective:
This review is actually a review of two parts of the Dublin Pub. 2 Stars for Pub and 0 Star for Darby O’Gill (the regular entertainment). Thus, a 1 star rating. And, I might be rating too kind.
Being from Texas, you would not expect to ever hear of the Darby O’gill band. However, I stumbled upon them while listening to Pandora. I liked there music so much, that I reserched them and ultimately bought a CD of theirs from their website. So, when my family vacation was going to take me through Portland, I decided to actually stay a night (which I did not need to do on my trip), just to hear the band. Per their web page, the band plays every Tuesday night at 9:00. Also, asks to email if you’re coming out, so they can get an aproximation of attendies; which I did. Alas, 9:00 on Tuesday night, no band went on stage. I asked the bartender if Darby was going to play, and informed that Darby was playing poker, drinking, and probably not. Being disappointed, I relayed the short version that brought me into the establishment. Not to get Darby to play, but to let the bar know that people sometimes rely on schdules, and that I was disappointed. The bartender went to Darby, and told him of our travels. Darby didn’t even have the common courtesy to introduce himself and thank us for coming to see him. I found that rude and disrespectful.
The bartender, however, paid for a round of drinks for us. That was nice, and much appreciated.
I would not waste my time on this two bit excuss for an Irish bar. And, I will never step foot back into that establishment again.

I have had many good times at this bar. The food tastes pretty fresh. The bartender guy always remembered my drink the next time I came in. He’s awesome whatever his name is. They have games. The live bands I’ve seen here have always been totally badass. Worth paying cover for. The décor is nice. Irish décor, cute seating. Fireplace. Pretty much everything you’d want from a bar. It’s not upper class nor is it low class. It’s just a comfortable place to have some drinks.

Came in during a Saturday afternoon. Owners or managers or whoever, were giving off a seriously bad vibe at the bar. An elderly woman and a middle aged blond man. Seemed angry and unhappy. Like they don’t even want to be in the business. Rudely interrupted my convo /​order with the bartender for some reason that absolutely couldn’t wait. WTF? Place was dead. Excuse me…
Overall, forgettable experience. With so many other choices, I see no reason to come back…

Dublin Pub has for years occupied a spot near the challenging intersection of Scholls Ferry and Beaverton-​Hillsdale Highway. In the 1990’s the old Dublin Pub was the place to go if you wanted a good selection of import beers on tap. Curious as to what’s going on at the Dublin we thought we’d give it a try.
For starters, the beer selection is still outstanding. Fifty four different beers on tap! However, on our visit the interior was a little old and musty smelling. Despite its antiquity the Dublin Pub sports an interior that is warm, comfortable, and quaint. Inside they have a fireplace, a stage, pool tables, and Irish sayings on the walls. On certain evenings the Dublin Pub offers music, comedy nights, and trivia competition.
Our server/​bartender for the night Josh was top notch. Josh knew the menu well and did such a great job of taking care of us. On our visit we sampled the Jalapeño Burger, Fried Onion Rings, and the Irish Dip.
The Irish Dip was actually a Corned Beef Burger served up au jus. It was undoubtedly the tastiest corned beef I have ever had. With the Irish Dip came homemade potato chips. Neither the potato chips nor the onion rings had a spot of grease. The whole dinner was tasty from beginning to end.
Minus one star for the old interior. Five stars for the food and five stars plus for bartender Josh. The Dublin Pub is still one of the Portland area’s best bars.

A great haunt. Very cool draft selection.
Good owners and managers that are around.
I’ve not hung out here on a reg. basis to see the nightlife — –I’m probably a little eld.
However, their happy hour snacks, friendly staff, and draft selection make me return — thanks, would like to check out some live music soon.
Great place if you are in or near Beaverton/​Raleigh Hills — -Open at 3PM

What can one say about the Dublin… other than it’s a divey bar w/​live music, decent tap list, happy hour food prices twice a day, has pool & video poker, cool fire place. Good enough for me!
Friday — $ 5 cover but you get to see live music starting around 10pm. Not always the greatest bands… mostly cover bands, but not half bad.
The rotating tap list is pretty good. Plenty of options.
Staff is quick to serve most of the time.
They do have a small outdoor patio area in the front.
Decent bar if you live in the area.

Was in here a few weekends ago, it is what it is. Went in kind of late, looking for something to do. There was nothing going on this night anywhere so rolled in here where DH said there is always live music.
Went in and the band that was playing wasn’t too bad the cover was 5 bucks at 10pm not too bad for the music, but the band that came after them sucked! I can’t even remember the name of them but did not like the sound and that is unusual for me. Drinks were OK and but went down fine.
I have been here before and had the nachos, they were ginormous! Had to take some home. I love the décor of the place the dark seedy feel. It’s a good venue for music for sure. Prefer getting next to the fireplace in the winter but that is always tough. Will stop in again in the future and when I’m over here.
