Nestled on South Great George’s Street, The Long Hall has welcomed patrons since 1766, making it one of Dublin’s most beloved and enduring pubs. Its stunning Victorian interior, redesigned in 1881, remains virtually unchanged, featuring exquisite mahogany woodwork, gold-leaf detailing, beveled and stained glass, ornate mirrors, and warm, nostalgic lighting that evokes gas-lit charm. The name "The Long Hall" is a nod to a long, narrow hallway snug that once ran parallel to the bar, now a part of pub lore. Over the decades, this storied establishment served as a meeting place for Fenians plotting the 1867 Rising—history echoes in its walls. Adding to its legacy, figures like Brendan Behan, U2, Phil Lynott (who filmed part of his “Old Town” video here), Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, and others have graced its bar. But it isn’t just a relic—it’s an active, vibrant pub renowned for its attentive staff, perfectly poured Guinness, and welcoming atmosphere that balances history with hospitality. Whether you're there for a quiet weekday pint or weekend buzz, you're in for an authentic and atmospheric Dublin experience that feels timeless and genuine.
