The Ginger Man

We had an absolute BLAST here! The staff was nothing short of awesome. I was starving and there weren’t many open options so late for food. We slid in about 5 minutes prior to food service ending but the cook graciously accepted our orders. I had the bangers and mash and my other half had a burger. SO DELISH! We drank quite a bit with the bartender and chatted with a local drunk for the longest time and every minute was so awesome. We left with full bellies, slightly tipsy and with new friends! It was very memorable.

Really great interiors and a terrace outside.
Really bad hand cut fries with very dry burger.
Don’t know about the beer, but whiskey was very good, as well as the staff.
Good location as it is not on the main street and people can drink outside standing if the terrace is full.

A great little pub in Dublin. We stopped in right from the airport on a recent trip. The coffee was strong and the bangers and mash were delicious.

We went for New Years with a group of 4 Americans to drive around Ireland. This was our favorite place to hang out and grab a pint. The food was fantastic and the service was great! We traveled from Dublin to Killarney and back to Dublin. We went as often as we could! I had my first Guinness here and it was a grand experience! We had Bangers and Mash, Guinness pie, and fish & chips. I can’t say which was my favorite because we all just kept ordering and sharing.

We had a wonderful welcome from our waiter, Phil. The place was busy, but everyone gave great service. Our party ate fish n’ chips, a burger, the potato leek soup and chicken curry. The food was AWESOME. Then, there was toffee bread pudding, and it was great.

A very cozy pub, about half way between Trinity and Silicon Docks, so makes for a good watering hole if you’re walking from one of the tech companies and into the city centre.
Low ceilings, dark wood panelling, and a combination of tables, booths, and bar seating makes lends a proper, old-​fashioned feel to the place. Patrons is a good mix of locals, young professionals from various industries, and relatively few tourists (they rarely make it out this far).
We dropped in for an afternoon drink, five of us. The barman was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers they kept on tab, and even offered up tasters to help us decide. Selections made, he poured them out, except for the Guinness’s, which he asked us to wait at the table for, and he’d bring them down. Love a barkeep who takes pride in properly pouring a Guinness.
Pub isn’t terribly large, but even if it does see a fairly good flow of guests, it doesn’t feel overly crowded.

After a long day traveling to Dublin, my wife and I needed a good meal in a relaxing setting. The Ginger Man was across from our hotel, so we stopped in and surely were not disappointed! Our server upstairs was bright and helpful. My Steak and Guinness Pie was out of this world, and her Bangers and Mash was spot on. I’m just sorry we did not have room for the Sticky Toffee Pudding. I would be remiss not to mention the great Guinness pour that came with my pie! Overall, the Ginger Man exceeded all of our hopes for our first night in Dublin.

Fun little pub. Popular with young and old alike. The barman are not very friendly — even for Dublin.
Busy but lots of room. The night I was there, lots of dancing and singing to hip house music.
Beers are all good. Had food here in the past and it was ok.

Excellent pub with a very helpful and kind server. Curry and wings are both quite good. Nice seating area upstairs if you want a bit less noise. Staff unable to accommodate food substitution, which is understandable.

Love this place as a JP Donleavy fan. Perfect blend of Ireland and the States for this Irish-​American. Wings were delicious.

This is a super hard one for me… I’m a fan, yes but it’s so hard to put my finger on why, in that, this would not be everyone’s cup of tea but jezz, I always end up enjoying myself in here and even when I drop by for 1 drink… I nearly always end up staying for another one or two, or 5… eeekkk! Saturday just gone, went in for 1 was having just a chilled out drink, the barman was super friendly and bantered with us now and again and it just had good vibes about it, of course the add american tourist panicking over how to tip here in Ireland is always entertaining… ha ha, so with some hotels surrounding this place, there’s always tourists coming/​going but it also seems to grab some locals too. The barman put on the FA cup final and all of a sudden my 1 drink, quick 30 minute stop turned into a 3 hour and you can guess how many drinks ;-)
They serve food here, I’ve only ever had a bowl of chips but after what I seen coming out of the kitchen last weekend, I’m definitely going to pair my next visit here with some eats. And will be sure to update my review with my rating including food.

Wonderful pub! Definitely get the bucket of Wings! Friendly atmosphere with a nice upstairs for overflow. We also enjoyed the Writes Block lager… Go here if you are staying at the O’Callahan Davenport, its a hop across the road!

It has high reviews but I wasn’t impressed. The food was standard, possibly a little below par. And the beer wasn’t the best, even if it was considered local craft beer. It seemed like a tourist trap, may be it was just my opinion.

Great little pub, off the beaten track slightly but totally worth the visit.
Stopped in for a Saturday afternoon pint, had a pitcher of a beer from a Cork brewer (can;t remember the name now!!). V-​nice and worth it, some seating outside and plenty inside, pub has a good vibe from it Staff all friendly and happy.
I’ll deffo be back again.

The Ginger Man has a nice inviting atmosphere and very accommodating and friendly wait staff. A nice bar area with some stand up tables are available as you walk in. I was seated in the nice room off to the side which had a (non operational) fireplace. Out front there is outdoor seating complete with radiant heating, nice.
I ordered the fish and chips platter and was pleasantly surprised to receive a whole fillet and a nice little bucket of chips. The fish was phenomenal and the tarter sauce was the best I have had. The chips were nicely seasoned and had a tasty mix of crispy and soft. Good Show! It was my first time in but won’t be my last.

this reminds you of any neighborhood pub that you see in any street. they have a pretty good beer selction and the folks are nice.
i tried the Guinness Stew and it was pretty good once i mixed it all up, but i was expecting a little more. i am not sure if it was more flavor or more stew with less pastry or the mash with the stew, but the presentation was pretty cool!
i have yet to do the dublin pub crawl, but i am expecting this place to be like many of the other pubs in the area!
time for another Guinness!!!

If you want to know why pubs are called the living room of the Irish: go here :-)
It felt pretty much like a living room in here. We arrived at around 9pm on a Thursday and stayed downstairs for just one pint (there is such a thing! ;-))
No TV on and the music was at a level where you could hear it if you listened but you didn’t have to raise your voice when talking — so exactly how I think it should be.
The interiour consists of paintings of Dublin, a huge fireplace, mirrors you could have in your home and book shelves. And one entrance door irritated: You looked at it’s outside from the inside without being able to reach it anyhow (see picture). Just a funny little twist.
Looking at my other reviews you might have noticed that I do like the odd craft beer so obviously I liked it here even more due to that/​
Hope to be back soon with more time — as it was only a brief visit this time I’ll go with four stars.

The ginger man pub is a great local pub which I am happy to say was the first pub which I visited when I moved to Ireland. It always seems to have a great atmosphere and crowds start filling up out the door starting early in the evening Thursday through Saturday. I always hear singing coming from here on late evenings despite there never being a band, always a good sign.
They have this unique outdoor alcove outside the main enterance. It is outside and so there will be smoking, but it is a nice little spot otherwise.
They have great food for a pub and I would go back just for the food. Fish and chips is great as are other dishes as well.

I haven’t been here for many a year, but walking home from town on a warm afternoon we decided to stop for a drink. Although not on the demon weed anymore, we still prefer to sit outside when possible and they have made a decent effort at comfort given the limited on street space available.
I was interested to see that they had some craft beers on tap so I chanced a Writers Red. Nice beer, smooth and it went down well.
It was a quiet satruday afternoon so other than a friendly barman I can’t say much more but it is on my places to stop list and I’ll be back after I get a chance to try it out at a more lively time.
For now, A-​OK.

Some friends and I met for lunch here the other day and it proved to be a good call.
The staff were really friendly and everything on the menu sounded delicious. I went for one of that day’s specials: roast chicken, chips and gravy, which proved to be a tasty bargain at € 7:95. Infact, everyone was happy with what they got and it was very fast — making it ideal for your work lunch break.
Of course this is a pub, so it’s not just about the food. I’ve been here in the evening time for a few sociables and it’s a pretty cool bar with good music and a nice atmosphere. It also has an area downstairs which can be hired for functions.
Worth your time.

Netter kleiner Pub mit typischen irischen Flair direkt neben unserem Hotel gelegen sehr freundliches Personal. Das essen mit viel frittierten, Geschmacksache.
