Editorial Review
Mulligan's
The Atmosphere
“The best pint of Guinness in Dublin, in a pub that has barely changed since 1782.”
Mulligan's of Poolbeg Street is widely regarded as serving the finest pint of Guinness in Dublin. And possibly in Ireland. Established in 1782, this no-nonsense pub has resisted every trend, every renovation, and every attempt at modernisation. The result is a drinking experience that connects you directly to 240 years of Dublin history. JFK drank here as a young journalist. Con Houlihan wrote here. The bar staff are famously efficient and the regulars are famously loyal. There is no TV, no music, no food menu. Just conversation and the best stout you'll ever taste.
Rooms Worth Requesting
What it actually feels like.
Sit at the bar, not at a table. Order a pint of Guinness and nothing else. Watch the barman pour it. The two-part pour here is an art form. Cash is preferred.
Why we recommend it
A space that justifies the journey.
If you drink one pint of Guinness in Dublin, drink it here. Mulligan's is the purest expression of what an Irish pub should be. No frills, no pretence, just perfection.
