"Quite possibly the best located pub in the city. If you wander by on a sunny day, there isn’t a better decision you can make than to stop and have a seat outside and watch people stroll by. Boasting a rich literary history with customers that included Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O’Brien, Grogan’s somehow keeps a hold of that creative sensibility to this day. They don’t make a bad cheese toastie either." - It's Okay
"Grogan’s Castle Lounge is a pub where both people and conversation have the room to spread out. A much-celebrated place to sink a few jars, it also acts as an unofficial second home to anyone and everyone. Come evening this carpeted sanctuary in the middle of Temple Bar is full of characters, from old boys in tweed jackets with worn Irish literature anthologies, to young Trinity College kids sinking pints and sharing a gooey ham and cheese toastie. For a time-warp venue that feels like it hasn’t changed since the 1970s, it feels welcoming to everyone. The last time we were there we watched two dogs and their elderly owners meet and share a cup of tea and biscuits at past 11pm." - daisy meager, jake missing, ciera velarde
