📖

Full description

The Oval Bar is a classic Victorian-era pub on the north side of the city, with an old-world interior, sports on the television and a menu of bar food including Irish stew. Reviewers praise the historic atmosphere, friendly staff and cold, well-served beer, and note that dining may be one floor up.

The menu can feel hard to decode for visitors unfamiliar with local phrases, so a quick translation tool helps. It is a dependable choice for lunch or an early pint as well as an evening drink.

Reviews

I liked it very much. The ambiente is wonderful. The menu is not easy to understand, especially if youre not used to the native word or phrases. (use google lens to get an idea of what you prefere to eat) Being first time in Dublin, you need to be here or else, once during your visit. We planned to come again.
