P. Mac's - Dublin

Always the best place to have a pint of beer and chat with your friends!

Comfortable. Good food. Serves Murphys which makes it a superior Dublin pub.

I’m sad I only discovered PMacs a couple months before leaving Dublin. There’s a wide range of beers, really good food and comfortable seating. The music can be kind of loud, I enjoy that but it may not be to everyone’s taste

Great atmosphere there. But it's not easy to find a seat there even on a working day

P.Mac's is a combination of both a vintage Addams Family and 90s grunge vibes. It has unique atmosphere and there are also a selection of board games available from one of the vintage bookcases. You will often see people playing the games at their tables. It is a student and alternative/indie type vibe with many of the customers, but everyone is made to feel welcome. The drinks menu is diverse, and the Basil Fawlty and Snozzberry cocktails are unique selling points, if a little expensive. The bar staff are not terrible, but closing time can see abruptness as cocktails are refused to be served before other drinks due to the amount of time they take to prepare. Some of the staff might not tell you this in the most polite way and the plastic classes and house lights also make an abrupt appearance if you're still finishing your drinks with 15 minutes to spare. Overall though, the vibe is safe, unique and warm.
