The Bernard Shaw

This pub is awesome and very affordable. Nice place and plenty of tables. I liked that the food here is affordable and good portions. Crisps and nachos are also reasonably priced. Liked the ambience and for 17 euro octoberfest ticket got 1 large beer + a pretzel. This place is big and also value for money.

The Bernard Shaw Pub is a vibrant spot in Dublin with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The pints typically cost between €6–€8, which is in line with city prices. The ambience is casual and lively, with colorful décor and often a soundtrack of local chatter or live music. What really stands out, though, is the staff—friendly, attentive, and quick with a smile (and a recommendation if you’re unsure what to order!). Whether you’re popping in for one drink or settling in for the evening, it’s a great place to enjoy a well-poured pint in a relaxed, social setting.

We had my brother's 40th here. The food was freezing when it came out, there was a hidden service charge in the venue offering and it was way to expensive to hire considering it wasn't a private space but one that overlooked the balcony. We dealt with a different staff member each time, they never replied to phone messages or emails. If you have an event please don't go here. We had to book last minute as another venue had let us down. Wish I had researched and asked for more opinions beforehand. The staff treated us like we were an inconvenience, and we ended up providing entertainment for the venue. Avoid. I'd like to say this was a once off but I was talking to a colleague who had been at a Christmas party there and echoed the same problem. Poor service, cold overpriced food and inattentive staff.

We went there yesterday to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it is a really nice place, food is delicious as well but I would like to enfatize the service, it was really good, Laura is an amazing person, she is so attentive, careful and she was really nice with everybody. We had a pleasure to met her last time there and she is always smiling and being so friendly. I really recommend this place and we had a good time there with friends and family.

Very lovely atmosphere and Laura was amazing!! She was the best service ever!! We had the classic platter and food was very good, we enjoyed so much!!

We had a fantastic time at the Drag Brunch 🥰 It was great fun and so entertainment, The Queens were fantastic and so professional. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They also have an outdoor food market ( we didn't eat anything from it, but it looks amazing ( from what we people see others were being served) we definitely went to go back to try that for sure. The food we had was fab to very tasty. And the chocolate Milk Shake was very nice. For our first time being at a Drag Brunch, we were very impressed and entertained. We will definitely be back again

We just enjoyed an amazing first ever Drag Brunch with Kiki and Eircome! My sister loved Kiki’s style (“she’s amazing!) and I loved Eircome’s quick wit and vibe. The service was fantastic from I think Laura? They couldn’t have done more to accommodate us, so I would highly recommend x

I visited Bernard Shaw this week, although the food (Janet's) was excellent, I had an unpleasant experience. As my fiancée and I were leaving, a waitress came after us in the middle of the street, claiming that we had not paid the bill. In fact, we had already settled the bill with another member of the team. This public approach, made without checking internally with the staff, was unnecessary, and very embarrassing. Despite enjoying the food, we left disappointed with the overall experience.
