Fitzgerald's Bar, Dublin
If you find yourself wandering Dublin’s Temple Bar district—somewhere between a photo-op and a Guinness—make a beeline to 22 Aston Quay, where Fitzgerald’s Bar has been charming the thirsty and the curious since long before your GPS was born.
Tucked inside a 19th-century building that looks like it could tell you a few stories (and probably has), Fitzgerald’s is the kind of place where time politely steps aside for a pint. Here it is, a Victorian bar with creaky wooden floors, soaring ceilings, wrought-iron chandeliers, and mirrors that might accidentally show you enjoying your third Guinness a bit too much. As a bonus, you can always make use of those intimate alcoves—perfect for whispering sweet nothings or your opinion on the match.
This is your daytime pitstop and your nighttime launchpad. Whether you're just off the hop-on/hop-off bus or staging an impromptu pub crawl, Fitzgerald’s has your back—with shepherd’s pie, fried cod, corned beef, and an all-day breakfast that laughs in the face of time. Meanwhile, the TVs juggle sports and soaps with the grace of a caffeinated bartender.
Craving a quiet nook? There’s a snug in the back where you can plot world domination or just enjoy your pint in peace.
With a well-stocked arsenal of ales, stouts, lagers, and a staff that’s as warm as the lighting, Fitzgerald’s serves charm by the glassful. Add in occasional live music and a crowd that knows when to cheer and when to chill, and you’ve got yourself a quintessentially Irish experience with none of the clichés—except the ones you came for...
Open daily, feeding both bellies and spirits from morning to night, Fitzgerald’s is a pub and a perfectly poured slice of Dublin rolled into one.
