You truly capture a sense of the hidden Ireland when you accidentally stumble upon The Stag’s Head. Finding it is akin to discovering a rare treasure as it is concealed through a narrow passageway off Dame Street, although access can also be gained through Exchequer Street or Georges Street. When you enter inside this feeling of discovered booty is greatly intensified as a virtual paradise of culture and old world values confronts you. This is probably Dublin’s best preserved Victorian pub - and everything here is of authentic Victorian origin. Take time to look around and savour the sumptuously carved Victorian mahogany fittings, the mosaic marble tiled floors and granite tabletops. Visiting the Stag’s Head is a wondrous experience wether you call when the premises is cosy, warm and glowing at night time, or in early morning when this is old repository of liquid culture is radiantly illuminated by wafts of sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows. The mahogany bar, capped with red Connemara marble, follows the classic Victorian architectural pattern, being long and punctuated by exquisite partitions that divide into private compartments or stalls. « less

Nice old time pub, with lots of wood and stained glass. Glad I stopped in to have my last Guinness there before flying home.

If you like ornate Victorian interiors then you will love this place, the inside is original and unspoilt a real feast for the eyes, being firmly set on the tourist map it can get very busy as it was when we were there, the food was very good as were the friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

A lovely traditional pub which has a lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff, highly recommended. There was a good choice of food on the menu and there were quite a few people eating while we were there, which is always a good sign
