Dublin's Sports Grill

The best bar in IV. Great, inexpensive drinks and friendly service. A real institution of UCSB student life.

Graduated from UCSB and came back to Dublin's and everything about this place still rocks. It feels even nicer than before with some noticeable upgrades. The bartender Dennis is the best too. Love Dublins!!

Great place to play pool, but hardly any food options besides fish n chips and practically zero non alcoholic or virgin options. I personally don 't drink, so it 's pretty anticlimactic for me unless I 'm with my girlfriend or any friends. The woman at the bar has always has a weird energy and almost didn 't accept my ID once because of my short haircut in the picture and stared at me funny for a good minute lmao. Also, legit nobody sits anywhere but the bar and the vast seating always seems darker for some reason than the rest of the bar. I 'd only recommend this place if you 're actually going to drink or play pool, but it 's a chill vibe nonetheless.

My boyfriend planned a random romantic dinner for us here, and it was WONDERFUL! Excellent service, amazing food, and really any table there is great. The Pastor Pork Belly is unreal! Would love to come back.
