The Ferryman Pub Reviews

Close to the 3Arena, perfect spot for a few pre-gig pints. Great ambience and authentic decor. Very good Guinness here.

Great pub, if you want to have a nice time with your mates, come here on the weekends!

I just went to the pub. I didn't actually stay in the hotel. The pub is pretty cool. Full of locals. Very traditional pub type atmosphere. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Top place especially after a gig in the 3 arena, a great little stop-off on your way back into town. Bar staff are on the button and make sure they know who's waiting and where you are in the queue....some of the most attentive bar staff I've seen working.

A very elegant bar upstairs . Friendly staff , nice pint. Food was hot and nicely served. A fine Dublin pub in a very picturesque spot.

Fantastic barmen it was flat out tonight an a1 of the bar men served 4 people at 1 go an got all 4 orders right an great Guinness

Clean room, with a powerful shower. Great value. Breakfast included. And a great Bar, with a beautiful pint of porter. I'll be staying there again

Great Guinness, friendly and funny staff, good quality carvery!

Great atmosphere, very retro, really quaint, large collection of antique things, self-service, very good beer

Sorry these photos must be from another Ferryman because our room was nothing like these old saggy beds two lamps that didn't work old scratched bedside tables warm water coming from the cold water tap. You get what you pay for.

Good atmosphere, and the outside is great for the sunny days!perfect spot to start the friday evening!

So nice place to drink at gold guiness at hot chocolate! Verry Nice decoration! So cool!

Good Dublin pub. Guinness is very good and service was quick even though it was fairly packed on a Friday after work.

Nice place for a drink and nice lunch during the day

Amazing place, always happening- good music and awesome beers.

The Pub is very nice. I don t know anything about the hotel.

A cody and atmospheric pub on the waterside. This isn't visited by tourists a lot so you really get the Irish feel.

This used to be the 8 Bells and Eileen Brennan's Cafe yonks ago. What a change and for the better!

Always great for an after work pint. Can be very packed and hot but great atmosphere so that's forgiven.

Brilliant pub in middle of docklands. Love the fact it's an original building in the heart of built up area.

Like a wonderland of things to see inside. Really interesting pub. Nice atmosphere inside. Great location and the barman was a friendly guy. Totally recommend this place for a drink or 6

Rough and rude. Used to bring visitors here until the barman walked up behind one and said "take your bag off." Second experience of arrogant rudeness. Go somewhere like the Oarsman or Sandymount House where your business will be welcome.

I was there for three nights from Monday to Thursday. Basically it is a classic pub very close to the harbor, which also offers rooms on three floors above. Accordingly, you check in and out of the bartender. The hotel can be easily reached with the city bus to the city center from the airport (approx. 25-30 minutes). The room was normal and a good size. Bed for two, looked neat and clean.
Kettle with coffee and tea was provided free of charge. The bathroom was quite small with a shower. There were fresh towels every day even if they weren't on the floor. The shower was not that clean (old and discolored shower tray, hair in the shower). The existing electronic room card, on the other hand, is unexpectedly modern. The breakfast was delicious but took some getting used to. There was only coffee or tea and Irish breakfast, which was very good. The waitresses were nice and the breakfast room was very nicely decorated (see photos). The pub was always full in the afternoon, but I wasn't there in the evening.
The bottom line is that I can recommend the hotel for a short trip if you are not too sensitive to a few hairs;)

Great carvery lunch. Get there early on a Friday for the pork belly, it doesn't last long!

Really fast service at the bar, good location. The most traditional pub around the grand canal.

Brilliant place, lots of history and a nice place to be with friends or meet new people. Noisy..but it's expected. Simply enjoy the chattering and your pint :)

Always serves a good pint. Great for small groups of mates. Very quiet downstairs if you want a little privacy.

old style pub, dining average, busy place beside the river Liffey. Had two pints of Guinness,second pint was terrible. It was a favourite Dockers publichouse(BAR) in the past.

Great pub and really good beer. Unexpectedly the bartender let me try the beers before ordering. Recommended

Great pub with a great atmosphere & possibly the most efficient bar staff in Dublin.

Proper Irish boozer. Guinness and football with your mates. Friendly staff

Good place for drinks and food, convenient location. It's great for stopping by and enjoying the the view of the river and those massive buildings as people are passing by.

A nice place to have a few drinks and is walking distance from the three arena and the bord gais theatre , there is also a downstaris area with another bar , gave it 4 stars because the drinks are slightly over priced.

I was in the summer of 2019 with my mother and my sister. We stayed in a three person room. The room was small but very nice. Very friendly staff, and very nice to have to check in at the pub downstairs. Despite the fact that the pub was full almost every night, the rooms were somewhat soundproof and nothing was heard. If I had to put a little fault, perhaps more variety would have been fine, however the quantity was fine.
The price-quality for my suitable given the dates and the advance of the purchase.
The place is about 15 min. from the center of Dublin, it is a nice walk along the River Liffey.

A greeting.

Great selection of beers, always good for a pre concert drink before the 3 arena

Nice pub by the river, a short walk from the city centre, not many tourists !

You are looking for an Irish pub to enjoy a pint, this is it!

Great spot for an after work drink, it is always busy

Music too loud drink too expensive AIR con on the too cold setting yuck yuck yuck

Nice place, with delicious beer and tasty food. Good service

Well looked after here by very friendly staff. Good accomodation but try and avoid checking in at 5-6 as very busy drinking place after work

Samuel Beckett bridge is wonderful to walk to the Ferryman pub, Dublin

Great little place to spend some time drinking with friends. Quite expensive pint but quite normal for Dublin apparently, bit like London. Good fast service, can get very busy especially on Friday after work.

Very nice looking traditional Irish pub with good beer, busy but not too crowded.

Very nice traditional Irish bar, it was very busy when we went. The drinks were good but like everywhere in Dublin they were on the pricey side.

Great spot, reasonably priced food and drink. Very small selection of food bit enough selection to please a party of three. Went 10 minutes down the road and found the prices of food to be much higher compared to the ferryman. Would recommend

Great atmosphere and food. Friendly staff. I aways look forward to my visit.

Great location, slightly away from all the action. Great bar and breakfast room the only fault I have is with the rooms, they are very basic and in desperate need for an upgrade. There was no live music which shocked me on a Saturday night , however the staff were very friendly and helpful.
