Dublin's Irish Whiskey Pub

While in town for work, I was on a simple mission: grab a quick bite and watch the Rams in the Championship Game. I thought it would be cool to watch them win while in LA….well that didn’t happen! Dublin’s popped up online, and since I’m a fan of Irish fare, I figured it was worth a try. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by… absolutely no one. No hostess, no “Please seat yourself” sign…just vibes. So I chose my own adventure, found an empty table, and sat down. After about 15 minutes of quality alone time, I flagged someone down and learned that, surprise, I needed to order from the bar. On the bright side, I discovered they had an All Day Happy Hour on Sunday, which felt like a small reward for my patience. I ordered the two sliders with fries for $13. They were fine; edible, inoffensive, but not exactly something I’ll be dreaming about. What really stole the show, though, was one of the “bartenders,” who appeared to be aggressively sampling the merchandise. He was chugging Jameson behind the bar, strolling around with cash in hand, and eventually graduated into a full-on “pimp walk” across the place, clearly several drinks past professional. It was… a bold management strategy. To be fair, the female bartender was great, friendly, efficient, and very helpful once I approached the bar myself. Still, I have to echo another reviewer’s comment: I wouldn’t be shocked to see this place featured on Bar Rescue in the near future. With just a few tweaks (and maybe fewer Jameson chugs), this could actually be a solid, thriving pub in Downtown LA.

Food was excellent. Try the pastrami sliders with fries.. yummy 😋. Eddie Jennifer and Gail the bartenders we're the best. Was really busy in there, Large crowd watching college football 🏈. The service was outstanding. Great lively crowd.

Smells like a Dive. Looks Like a Dive. Random Assortment of Characters. Good Selection of Beers on Tap and you got yourself a Good Time. 😉

This is my second time here. This time I ordered shepards pie, it was all except shepards pie… The restrooms were in extremely bad situation (maintenance and cleanliness). At this stage not sure I’d return.

We were greeted by a stoned guy with a hickey on his neck. He told us to order food and beverages at the bar. Thankfully, the Detroit Lions fan bartender took our order at the table. (He was VERY nice.) The Pastrami Rueben with fries was good but the bread was barely toasted. We mentioned it to stoned guy and he told us to tell them "to toast it better next time and it will be perfect". The lights in the place need attention as do the bathrooms, and TV's. Please make an ADA complaint bathroom where people don't have to walk down 24 steps to use the facilities. TV's are plentiful, but need updating (I felt like I was watching a 1970's TV.) There were lots of guys coming in and going downstairs (I'm assuming) to the bathroom, but not ordering anything, and leaving. (I'll leave it to your imagination as to what might be happening there.) I think this could be a really cool spot, the architecture is absolutely beautiful, but it needs some attention.

Been to this bar 3 times in the last 5 days, each time between noon and 330pm. Every single time there was an African American bartender. He seemed nice, but after he poured everyone's drinks, he literally LEFT the bar and went across the street, every single day!🤣 I'd never seen this in any establishment. Multiple people would arrive and he's still gone, they're all looking around very confused wondering where the heck is the bartender. Then 15-20 mins he just shows back up. Insanity, highly doubt the owner is aware. What a disappointment 🫤

I wish I could give this place a 5 star review for being in the middle of downtown but where do I Start , no wait staff to acknowledge patrons when you first walk in, bartenders too busy “mingling” with friends at the bar and not aware of their surroundings of patrons, no menu had to ask the security if the kitchen was still open . Bartenders said you have to order at the bar and saying it across the floor. Terrible service cocky attitude by staff surprise how the establishment it’s still in business . Maybe someone should called John Taffer from Bar Rescue to scope up this place . Stay away this place if you in Downtown LA

The fish and chips was nice. The beer was good. The loud thumping music for Valentine's Day could have been less loud and thumpy.

This place is underrated. The simple hot dog isn't simple. Wrapped in bacon and very juicy. I got mine without mayo mustard or ketchup but it was top tier. For an extra $3 you get an absolute mountain of fries. Morgan was our bar tender and she did an exceptional job always attentive. Don't pass by this place stop in!

Cool lil dive bar. Not too divey. Had an ipa 10$ flat Place was pretty cool but is more of pit stop for the locals. Just stopped by on my adventure and needed a spot to sit a spell and something nice to wet ma whistle. Did the job, appreciate the hospitality Dublins

Great food and good drinks. Came here to watch the dodger game and it was great! It wasn't packed with plenty of TVs for all the games going on at the same time. We got wings and fries and both were really good.

Ordered both a Mexican mule and a whiskey mule... Sadly, received basically two water down juice tasting drinks. It tasted closer to a simple margarita than any type of mule I've had before. I'm surprised the server did not slip because most of the drink ended up on the floor. Should had known it wasn't going to be the best when it came in a regular cup not a mule cup.

Food is sub-par. Service is awful. Ambiance is non existent. Such a shame considering your in the heart of DTLA, across from the Bloc, in such a nice historic building. Rated below from bad to horrible to worst: We just wanted a place where we can grab a drink and an appetizer. What a complete let down. We entered this Irish themed pub, bar with seating is located in the front with a few high tables on the side. The security/bouncer who was there merely turned his head when he heard door open and just said "sit wherever you want" then proceeded to play this golf game on the big screen that is situated at the corner. (bad) We ordered nachos with steak. The most disappointing nachos I've ever seen and tasted. Chips were stale. The meat was ground beef, unseasoned and chewy. Also based on the cleanliness of the space (our table was dirty, probably from the day before as there was absoluely no one in there) i'm certain their kitchen standards aren't the best and it shows in the food (horrible & nasty) The bartender/owner said perhaps 2 words to us, never checked in, didn't bother to greet, manners were non-existent, he was on his phone the entire time, even came to our table to give us our bill while talkin on the phone. His attitude was as stale as the chips. The entire place needs a new set of management and a lesson is customer service. Throw the whole thing away. A damn vending machine gives better attitude and service than this nonsense. (The epitome of what not to do. The worst customer service ever!) Let's be real tho, if you don't care about your business, I too don't care to support it. Save yourself the trouble, time and money. Go anywhere else. I wouldn't even buy a beer from this place if I was in my ratchet college years.

I love coming to Dublin's. The food is great and the staff is phenomenal, particularly bartender Casey is very cute and he is very reserved and mysterious at first but once you start talking to him you find out he's an absolute sweet heart, can't recommend this place enough!

Dublin's is an Irish sports bar conveniently located by 7th/metro. It's definitely a bit older and run down but with lots of seating for happy hours. The well drinks are $10 and what you would expect from a well drink. There's a pretty large beer selection and a few cocktails to choose from too. The food is standard bar food at average bar prices. The french fries were a good snack for the table but the nachos were a bit disappointing. The bathrooms were not very well kept and all the locks on the stalls were broken so beware of that. Overall a solid spot for sports and happy hour but not the nicest bar.

Nice local spot and a place to get away from scary people in downtown LA. I had a whisky which was served promptly. Lots of tv sets here. It's a bit gimmicky in its decorations.

I go to this pub once or twice a week and I've never had an issue. I love the buffalo chicken sliders, the burger, nachos, wings and the drinks (bartender always surprises me). The bartenders always have a food attitude coming in, they greet me and offer me a menu right away. Friendliest staff of an establishment i've ever been to. The music can be a little too loud sometimes when the dj arrives but i still love this place. The people, the area, the staff. I like to stop by either by myself to work on some projects or with friends to pass the time. Love this place. If it got a bit renovated that would be cool but it will always be my To Go spot in DTLA!

DO NOT GO HERE. Terrible management & service. El Patron Cantina is down the street and way better vibes.

There's so much wrong with this place. Imagine a TGI Fridays that suddenly found it had Irish heritage. But then take away everything good about TGIF. That's Dublins. The food is not good. The silverware is plasticware. The bartender ignores service as they flirt. It's 2 PM, come on. Lunch breaks aren't forever. It feels like someone advised to throw a bunch of green around and it would suddenly be an Irish pub. If you were to tell me you enjoyed this place I would immediately judge you.

Great beer and a waitress that is easy on the eyes... No drama bar and good eats. What more does a guy need??

THE BEST BUFFLO CHICKEN WINGS! Dublins is absolutly my favorite bar to go watch a game at! The service is incredible and every server and bar tender are extremely kind and friendly. I miss my favorite Irish bar in NYC and Dublins has become my favorite spot when I'm craving bar food and a game.

Worst "Irish Pub" I've been to. No authenticity, at all. It looks like it wants to be sports bar. TV's everywhere, a DJ who didn't even look happy to be here, and the security didn't bother checking ID's just made an angry face at you and told you to come in. Might as well get rid of the Irish theme and change into a sports bar. Only good thing is the Guinness and Jameson.

We're a British/Irish/Scottish couple, and happily working in the US. Though like everyone who is far from their own home, we miss some of the comfort food, especially around the holidays. Since it was Christmas Eve and not with family, we thought we'd find a British or Irish pub that sold proper bangers and mash. A dish we have both grown up with, which brings back happy memories. A dish I have cooked and served in 500 year old pubs back home. Bangers are simply English sausages. Which are very difficult to find in the US. In fact, I've never found one. The ingredients are pork, rusk and salt. That's it. No chemicals, no Italian herbs, no cheese, no beef, no plastic. Just juicy, juicy pork. Irish sausages are the same, just a slightly finer minced pork. I prefer them. English and Irish sausages come raw, and they are gently griddled until a light golden color to ensure their delicious light and tender texture. They are served with fresh buttered mash, real onion gravy, and very occasionally some wilted spinach or peas. A knife should be able to slice through a banger easily. We were VERY excited to order the "traditional Irish bangers and mash" from this supposedly Irish place's menu. The fact that nobody there was Irish didn't ring alarm bells. We aren't prejudiced. There is nothing like a good plate of bangers and mash. What we got was definitely nothing like a good plate of bangers and mash. In fact it categorically was not a plate of bangers and mash. It was almost as if someone had fed in a description of bangers and mash into a malfunctioning computer, which then spat out this hilarious glop. From our amusingly furious kitchen professional, we received a bizarre plate of oily sweetcorn (with mysterious black crunchy lumps), a small dollop of stuff that we assumed was instant mash, and three dry, rock-hard, deep fried sticks of dark brown matter. Which we assumed to be some sort of pre-cooked preserved beef and gristle snack links. The nearest comparable food item was Turkish succuk. Or jerky. Though those are usually nice to eat. The angry kitchen man flung flimsy plastic forks at us for us to try and cut these things with. It was like trying to cut through a car tyre with a flaccid penis. We opted to use our hands to grasp them, and tore off some of the matter with our teeth. "Tender" and "juicy" are about the most inappropriate adverbs for these rubbery, yet crunchy, thoroughly unpleasant tubes of mysterious dark brown matter speckled with hard white lumps of gristle. Imagine extra wide Slim Jim's, encased in a thick leathery condom, and dropped in the frier for fifteen minutes. That's what they were passing off as "traditional Irish bangers and mash". We could tell that they got reheated in the deep fat frier as their main taste was sort of fishy off beef. What I imagine a long-dead seagull tastes like. I didn't mention that I am very allergic to sodium nitrite to the staff, because the menu specifically said that these were traditional Irish bangers. Back home we would have complained and got our money back, in fact there are very old laws about passing off one thing as another in the UK and Ireland, but we understand that serving staff are paid poorly here and live on tips, so we weren't going to be mean about it. We had a bite, spat into our napkins, paid and left. Stopping at a pharmacy on the way to deal with the sodium nitrite I'd ingested. It could have ruined our day, but since we are such fans of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, and I do (if I may say so myself) an excellent impersonation of the man, we spent the rest of the day laughing at how utterly disgusting it was. With me gesturing like like Gordon and shouting "WHERE'S YOUR PASSION, UH? IT'S ROTTEN!" at the imaginary angry and drunk kitchen staff. If you like good food, stay away, if you want to try the most novel, bizarrely appalling "food" we've had in four years in America, please give these people your money. Before the city shuts them down. Or the kitchen's cockroaches take over. On a positive note, they had a large inflatable teddy bear. And they served our flat warm cokes in plastic cups rather than glasses. So we felt like we were young children again. Which was immersive. In a way.

Lunch service is non existent, bartender is rarely around. We just sat in there for 15 minutes and even the bus boy didn't know where the bartender was. When he is there his service is sparse. He never checks in and spends his time on his phone or talking with friends. Done trying to eat here.

There is nothing' Irish about this place. Except maybe an Irish whiskey behind the bar. The service was meh. The food was meh. The atmosphere was anything but Irish. I won't waste my time here again.

Just left Dublin's and for the first time in 14 years I got an 18% gratuity added to a bar top tab with me and three family members. I'm a bit confused, new policy maybe? Having been a server across the street for about 10 years several years ago, this rubbed me the wrong way since I would've tipped 25% even though our bartender forgot to order my Nacho's with chicken, and gave us a Bulleit Rocks instead of Bulleit neat... Maybe she knew that they gave shitty service and needed that automatic 18%? I would suggest that you only auto gratuity tables over 6 people and trust that you read your guests that come to the bar top a bit better than that. That's that.

The nachos are of a quality you might find in prison: something resembling nachos, but ultimately nasty. The service was friendly. But I left my card there, came back three days later to pick it up and they apparently throw them away like they did mine. Pretty shitty to do.

This has been a consistently solid, reasonably priced restaurant in DTLA. Quality food, decent service, multiple screens with sports always on, and impressive beer and other beverage choices.

Came in, it wasn't busy at 5:45. Bartender was to busy with some woman and when she left he walked right past me to take someone else's order. Then looked at me and walked over to join in a conversation with some other people.

They don't serve disabled people , they have no tables for them or space for wheelchairs. & no apple pay

Super friendly staff and great drinks I love coming here with my aunt great friend environment

A great local spot near the DTLA intercontinental. The bartenders rock, the food slaps just as hard as the drinks, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Thanks Eve, Jess, Sam, Morgan, Jersey, & Eddie for always making the moments there lasting memories.

Favorite bar in DTLA. Ignore the negative reviews, this place is exactly what it appears to be, a local whiskey bar. The best local find, I promise you! Just don't be a shitty person? Ambiance is exactly what you're looking for in an Irish pub downtown.

Dirty everything.. furniture, floors, glasses.. cold nasty food. This Cicel guy has ruined what used to be a great bar.

Bad service, I don't recommend this place. Have to wait for long time food and service is non-existent.

My friends wanted to stick true to the theme of Irish drinks and food for St. Patrick's day weekend. We stopped by this pub and were immediately greeted with all things green on the inside. There were streamers of green, shamrocks, guests wearing beads, hats and t-shirts in true St. Paddy's day form. Our group of 6 were immediately sat at a high table in the rear of the pub, which was nice to be away so we were able to talk and hear each other. Our waitress was nice, she was attentive and grabbed everyone's beers right away. My only slight complaint was the food. I opted for the shepherd's pie, it was just okay. I felt like it was far too much money ($13) for what I got. I probably would have had less of an issue had it come with a side salad or something. Nevertheless, even though I was disappointed with my plate, I had a couple bites of my friends kale caesar salad, it was delicious. Overall, pub food isn't my favorite, but I enjoyed the experience of hanging out with my friends in a classic style Irish pub downtown.

Was working down the street & decided to stop by for a quick drink.... Nothing crazy happened but I was at the bar for like 10 minutes without anyone being there, maybe he was on his lunch no big deal. Got 2 drinks & when I asked for the check he just told me an amount, a little sketchy & off but whatever. Don't recommend coming here unless you want an awkward atmosphere

Been coming here for over a decade, by far my favorite bartender! She's amazing and makes the best drinks ever! I've been to other bars in DTLA and no one makes drinks the way she does. Aside from that she has the biggest heart, so humble and caring for the dtla community, we need more ppl in the industry like her.

(Drank 03/25/18 SU @ 9:00pm): I wish I knew about this little piece of Dublin in DTLA sooner! After a non-alcoholic meal with a handful of high schoolers at the nearby CPK, once the "children" went away us adult mice went to "play" at Dublin's Irish Whiskey Pub! I loved Irish pubs (e.g. Casey's, Timmy Nolan's, Tom Bergin's, Tam O'Shanter), so how this one escaped my radar simply befuddled me. Would this "discovery" as we roamed the streets of DTLA be a pleasant surprise!? PURCHASE Irish Mule ($10.00): A combination of Tullamore Dew Whiskey, ginger beer, and fresh lime, I was impressed by the near-perfection of how not one ingredient overpowered the others wth the exception of the ginger beer with its distinct flavor. All I asked was less ice, please - slainte https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HawR803vVnDTkVIwm-ArxA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Irish Margarita ($12.00): A concoction of Jameson Whiskey, tequila, crème de menthe, lime, and simple syrup, this vibrant green drink tasted like mouthwash - swish-swish spit-spit https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RDfdXxtq4JjXPLK7hvyw2A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Three Weavers Brewing Co. Southbounder Coffee Stout 7.0% ABV ($8.00): A 16 oz draft, it had a thin mustache of a head atop a near-black color, a deep roasted coffee aroma, a medium-heavy body with explicit roasted coffee and slight sweet flavor, and a lingering coffee finish with hints of a barley aftertaste - basically alcoholic coffee https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zs4NFM2CB_P02cU-wzUNqA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Guinness Ltd. Smithwick's Irish Red Ale 4.5% ABV ($7.00): A 16 oz draft, it had a medium head atop a copper color, an obvious malt and hint of hops aroma, a medium body with a roasted malty flavor, and a mouthy malt and slight hops aftertaste - a simple non-complex beer. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($8.00): This huge portion size consisted of small-large pieces all with a nice thickness. They came out hot, the light tan brown crunchy batter was wonderful and hardly crumbled at all, and each onion ring (not sweet Maui) stayed intact when bitten into. They were fine eaten without the sauces - I'd order them again https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-eSLCuViaZStwTS7Mg5Fdw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE We were immediately greeted by a friendly server who allowed us to sit anywhere (the place was only half-full at the time but filled in while we were there). We grabbed a table directly in front of the bar, our server handed us menus, gave us a few minutes, returned and took our first drink and food order, the drinks came out quickly while the food arrived minutes later, and once we were ready another round of drinks was in the works. She checked on us periodically and even gave us water glasses. The bill arrived once we were ready with no rush to pay, and all was good to the conclusion of this even - perfect! PARKING (Varied; $7.00 flat fee this occasion) They had no parking of their own. However, since my friend and I already parked at a paid lot nearby for dinner, we just walked it from there. Otherwise, there were plenty of paid lots in the area, and minimal street parking (lucky if you got one!). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located in an old brick building https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SuFI9VFW1-zVez4FSFVbAw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, you walked into a high-ceiling rectangular establishment that stretched far back filled with plenty of booths, tables, and stools that surrounded an impressive bar area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dUUs4CCEf4bOvBIOD5UyJw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. The plethora of Jameson bottles that rimmed the walls caught my attention while USC (Fight On!) and Rams material covered the walls and windows. Hardly an natural lighting came through the minimal front glass door and window while only dim electric lighting filled in the rest. There were several muted but subtitled TVs (great for sports!) while only loud conversations blared in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Dublin's Irish Whiskey Pub was a nice "Emerald Isle" gem in the middle of DTLA and would like to return to catch a game or happy hour (everyday 3pm-6pm). The prices were what I expected for the area, they had a very good drink menu - especially for whiskey and scotch drinkers https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FjRs1Qdmdx449NGkhu_jmw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and the food menu was better than I expected https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7y6oCa9i_BHtOrg9-DQzZw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. I loved the neighborhood feel of the place. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $49.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

A few months ago I found this place a block away from the Sheraton where we stayed for my birthday, and coming to Dublin's was the type of vibe I was looking for. I've been to several Irish Pub's and this place doesn't disappoint. As soon as we walked in the atmosphere was upbeat, bustling, and loud. The bartender welcoming and once we got seated it didn't take too long for our server to engage us. She was friendly and attentive during our experience as well. We ordered "Dublin's Nachos" it's topped with beef, melted cheese, jalapeños, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa on the side. The portions was good for three people. The nachos tasted okay, it was probably not the best we had, but we had a great time here it was easily overlooked. With the drinks to go along with the munchies the round of "Irish Car Bombs" was the icing on the cake. If you're in this part of DTLA and looking to do away the intimate setting, the fun is right here at Dublin's Irish Whiskey Pub.

Came here at noon on a Saturday to watch college football playoffs, and I was surprised at how empty it was. I think this is a very underrated sports bar in DTLA. Has the classic dark mood of a good pub. Love the atmosphere and staff is friendly! Bar food was better than I expected too. I enjoyed the the crispy chick on 7th sandwich, while my friends enjoyed chicken tenders tossed in buffalo, a turkey club and a Philly cheesesteak. Everyone really liked it! We left full and satisfied. Parking is difficult in this area, but there are some parking lots nearby. I recommend ubering or the metro stops right across the street.

I really like this pub. Lots of tvs to see the games, friendly staff, lots if beers, good food, whats not to like. Ive stopped in for lunch dinner and brunch. Prices are ok for downtown, portions are good for what you pay.

Has Rumpleminze. Very cold. Minty. LA is very anti-Rumple. After dozens of rejections from many alcohol serving establishments, we finally found the home of Uncle Rumple.

The manager scared a little bit until he smiled and made some good drinks lol i love it here and it's pretty cool that in the alley next to it movies take place rite there ! If you have some time definitely stop by !

Great staff. Okay prices for downtown la. Our food was not so good. Came two nights ina row and no way we were ordering food again. Potato skins were burnt because they forgot about them one of our frozen mozzarella sticks didn't have any cheese in it. Couldn't help but laugh. Would go back for drinks

I tell you, this is top notch all the way around. From the great food, to the fantastic service, everything is awesome! Every employee in here has asked me if I need anything, which I love. I'm a sucker for great customer service!

Depends what you're looking for. Mediocre bar food, mostly fried, but good service for drinks and beer. Good before and after a sporting event. Was a good spot for lunch and a soccer match, but not anymore. Serve some salads! This is Los Angeles, not __________!

Came here to watch final 4 games and also my O's. Asked either manager or owner if he'd put O's game on even though I was the only one who gave a damn. Expected a "no can do", but dude said "not a problem". Score! Got to watch hoops AND my Birds. Great waitress that kept my $3 Bud Lights full, solid wings, and fun atmosphere (even though I could sense a d-bag element). It's super close to my apt so I'll def be back!

Great place to grab a couple drinks and something to eat if you're just trying to have a chill night out. I come here probably 1-2 every week or two haha. This pub is right next to where I work so it's very convenient to end up here right after a LONG day of work. I love how the worker there(Eve, shes the best!) knows exactly what I order and always has it ready the moment I sit down. Derek, he works usually Sunday/Mondays in the afternoon is awesome as well! For food- their chicken wings, shrimp tacos, CHIPS AND GUAC(so fresh), quesadilla, jalapeno poppers are good. For drinks- I usually get their Wolf IPA or their Irish Mule. Dublin's will always have a safe place in my heart and stomach :)

NEVER eat ANY fish served at Dublin's Irish Whiskey Pub. This establishment gave my boyfriend food poisoning with bad fish and chips. I'm certain their food was the culprit because about 45 minutes after eating it, he doubled over and suddenly became violently ill. I'm shocked that they have a health score of A, but it hasn't been reviewed since August 2020 so they've clearly deteriorated in that time. They should be ashamed of their clearly subpar and frankly pretty pathetic food-handling practices. (Btw, their jalapeño poppers are ass.)

Despite my earlier review, I still come here often. It's close by, predictable, and the staff is engaging and friendly. One more star for the staff!

First time here yesterday. It was Sunday evening and the college football semifinal game was on the TVs. Lots of Buckeye fans! We were exploring downtown and had just visited the amazing Fine Arts Building. This bar is located in the same building. It's beautiful inside and was decorated for the holidays. It was a cold LA night and when we saw this place we couldn't imagine going anywhere else for a hot Irish Coffee! It was a well crafted coffee by the bartender (Jersey) with Jameson, Baileys and heavy cream on top served in a mug. We didn't try the food but what we saw people eating at the bar looked good. Therefore I'll give this place 4 Stars although next time we'll come to eat as well and maybe update my review to a 5!

I have been coming to Dublin's for years and have always loved coming. Today I went in for lunch and the bar tender, who said her name was Lauren, came in completely drunk. She ignored everyone, then when I tried to pay, she borrowed a customer's phone to use the calculator, charged her for an extra drink and then proceeded to hand me 2 other customers credit cards and about 6 receipts. I only signed 1, so we will see if I was charged the right amount. My girlfriend was obviously frustrated, so then "Lauren" proceeded to attempt to fight her outside when we asked for her name. Very sad to see. I probably won't come back.

This is a dive bar pub paired with a "pop up" Mexican restaurant in downtown LA. I am not quite sure why a "true" Irish pub would go with a Mexican restaurant so that's why this should be more appropriately be called Dublin Dive bar and not pub. The only thing Irish about it was the fact that they had Jameson whiskey. When we first walked up on a busy Valentine's Day Sunday, the bouncer was busy smoking weed and ignored the potential guests in the makeshift line. After he smoked enough to make his eyes puff up and get a goofy Weed grin, he tossed the remains of his joint into the street gutter, looked around, and commented on how there were no tables and maybe he could ask to bring a few more out. Meanwhile, there was a couple who had clearly left. Their bill was paid, they took their food in boxes, & they were standing out in the street smoking. The bouncer said, "That's their table. They are smoking a cigarette." I've never quite visited a place where you can completely abandon your table after you paid the bill and return to it whenever you want. After about 45 minutes of squeezing in a line pushed up against the wall of the building on the sidewalk, the bouncer eventually brought another table out. We were squeezed between the open door, the trash can, & the wall in order to comply with LA's 6ft between tables rule. The barman/waiter had us move our table back next to the trash can when my husband tried to move it to a little more level ground away from the trash. The barman said there is a lady who goes around measuring distance between tables. I understand this concern but at the table adjacent to us there were 2 men hovering over the crowded table of 4, taking shots with the ladies and at one point, the barman. Where was the social distancing there? And I guess the lady that measures tables doesn't care about used joints being thrown into LA street gutters either? In all, the drinks were strong and the food was standard Mexican bar fare. The price was average for downtown LA. The barman was busy but cordial. Would I make a trip out of the way to visit this janky dive bar? Probably not. But would I grab a few drinks again if I was in the area visiting friends? Maybe if I was passing by on the street and had an impulse to grab a cold adult beverage.

Love this place !!! It's the best if you trying to get lit..the people are dope I had a good time

Standard Irish dive but incredible service gives this place 5 stars. As a frequenter of dives, it's rare to go to a place with a late kitchen that has as attentive a staff on a busyish night. Shoutout to Eve for being outstanding at her job, as well as to the rest of the staff.

I enjoyed coming here the other night. Nice place located in the heart of DTLA. The atmosphere here is very chill and this place is pretty spacious. Later in the night it can get pretty crowded though. The food here was okay and the drinks were good. I ordered the nachos and a pastrami sandwich. The food was typical bar food, so not the best tasting but decent nonetheless. The customer service here was good.
