Editorial Review
The Long Hall
The Atmosphere
“Dublin's most beautiful Victorian pub, unchanged since 1881.”
The Long Hall is Dublin's most precise Victorian pub. A masterpiece of ornate plasterwork, antique mirrors, and a mahogany bar that has been serving Dubliners since 1766. The interior, largely unchanged since an 1881 renovation, features a long narrow room (hence the name) lined with gilded mirrors, gas lamp-style fixtures, and a clock that has marked time for over a century. This is not a tourist pub; it's where Dubliners come to drink, talk, and escape the modern world. The pint of Guinness here is consistently rated among Dublin's finest.
Rooms Worth Requesting
What it actually feels like.
Arrive before 5pm on a weekday to secure a seat at the bar. Order a Guinness and a Powers Gold Label. The perfect Dublin combination.
Why we recommend it
A space that justifies the journey.
The most beautiful pub interior in Dublin, and the Guinness is exceptional. This is the real Dublin. No gimmicks, no tourist menus, just honest pub culture at its finest.
