The Ferryman Pub Reviews

One of my favorite pubs in Dublin. Good pints, nice play, best view.

B&B on the river, near the center. Very welcoming, very kind staff, excellent and plentiful Irish breakfast. Our room, with three beds, one double and one single, is very small but equipped with everything you need. Everything above a pub frequented by Irish, great beer and nice environment. We liked it very much and recommend it to those who love informal and immersive situations in the society they visit.

Clean tidy central. No night life but good base for sight seeing.

Good place to buy a drink, there is a very nice bridge outside and is in a good location

Overly busy location, with a pint of Guinness whose head disappeared quickly.

Great place for a pint and chat with people. I like the location and the atmosphere

Old fashioned bar in the 'New Dublin' Good to enjoy some pints after work!

Great Pub super food for lunch
Great views its like stepping back in time has so much history on its walls
Well worth a visit

Nice spot, catches the sun in the evening. Always busy though

Met up with people from the Dublin Office on my last contract. Met with the usual awesome Irish hospitality. Staff were friendly & patient while helping me work out what they had on offer that I would enjoy drinking.

Good menu. Excellent food. Great atmosphere, Nice location. Close to IFSC, CHQ Building. Connolly Train & Dart Station, Bus Aras provincial bus station and the Luas tram George's Dock stop. Friendly efficient staff. I have been there 3 times & I will definitely return.

Sure twas great. Invaded by Danish Vikings at the time tho. Might want to look into that. Didn't go so well last time for us

Amazing playlist (Climax Blues Band, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and more) and great beer in a really comfortable trad pub. The bar man who served me had a lovely singing voice too, as he idly sang to himself while pouring my pint. Very nice.

We stayed 2 nights in room 14 at the front overlooking the Liffey. Beautiful view, a bit noisy late at night but then it is a very popular pub. The room was clean and beds very comfy, the shower hot. Breakfast ok plenty of tea and toast. Staff all very pleasant and helpful. A great price for a city centre B&B, hotel over the road was double the price. Good location for everything.

I booked this pub for my mother's 70th Birthday Party for November. I rang to pay the 300 deposit for the room and the girl said "oh I was going to call you today for the deposit as I have another enquiry" I asked did she want my card she said yes, then she said do you have far to travel, I said oh i am from down the road then she said " Oh I am sorry we are booked for that date" Well if you were booked for that date why did she say she was going to ring me today for the deposit. I said well my dates are flexible any date in November will do as I knew she was declining my booking from where I said I was from. Then I said my mother's birthday is not until the end of November so if you have a date in December, she stuttered and said she would call me back. I have had many parties in many hotels and local pubs in the area and I have never in my life been refused to book a party. Not only did I find the staff very rude. If you are looking for a party, the room may be lovely but i doubt you'd get the service you'd expect.

Nice local. Very convenient to my hotel. Fun after work Friday crowd.

Great traditionalish irish pub without the temple bar markup on prices. Can get busy

We loved the place. Double room was nice and the bed was super comfy. The breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly. After the whole day of walking around the city it was nice to have a few beers in the pub downstairs before rolling into bed. When we come back to Dublin we ll stay here again.

Great pub, located right near the Beckett bridge (and this with a splendid location). The beers on tap were nice and the pub has a warm, cozy and friendly atmosphere.

Good selection of beers and staff friendly but place is too bright.Turn off some of the lights please no atmosphere

Very nice pub with a great selection of beer and amazing service (I have never been a guest at the hotel, so the review is for the bar only).

Not a bad pub upstairs but there was no seating so had to move down stairs and it was very cold and drafty down there...

Great vibes, manager was awesome despite how busy it was

Proper Dublin pub. Serves a good carvery menu at lunchtime during the week. Working man sized portions! Decent pint of Guinness too. Was in here on a Friday night with great live music too.

Clean and tidy room, with a powerful shower, and a damn good pint of porter

Located in the buisness area of Dublin 20 minutes walk from Temple Bar, right next to the Cardiff Lane Hotel. Atmosphere +++
Pint at 6.60

Never stayed at the hotel but the pub downstairs is great. Local watering hole for everyone that works in the area. Service behind the bar is also always friendly and professional. Grab a pint already!

Pub top. there is no music but it's really a pub full of life and charm

Cosy pub right by the Bord Gais theatre. Nice view of the Quay.

Authentic place with democratic prices.
Good for tourists since it has a nice view of the Samuel Beckett Bridge

Went here multiple times during a conference - place is often crowded and seems to be popular among visitors and locals alike.

Cool bar. Sit outside and watch the people. Ordinary selection of ipa etc ...

Service with a snarl. I ordered 20 shots of spirits and simply asked for a tray so that I could carry them down to the basement. I was told that they 'didn't do trays'. I asked for a plate instead and was told they didn't do plates either. This was during a quiet period too. We were sitting in the basement part of the bar and at the end of the evening, a stench from Hades overwhelmed us. It smelt like a sewage leak but I was then told by some regular punters that they release this stench on purpose in order to flush out their guests at the end of the evening.

Avoid this place at all costs.

It is a nice pub on a quite evening. On Thursdays and Fridays though is overcrowded with office folks.

Quaint little hotel, friendly people. No lift so if you can't climb stairs look somewhere else.

Staff are really lovely and theres plenty of parking spaces however there are literally NO vegetarian options on the menu. Please fix this!!

Owl for beer, blah for food. Great pub, but food average ...

You will love this place! The breakfast dining room alone is fabulous!

Staff are very friendly and very professional. Very cosy atmosphere and a good privacy factor.

If you want a place to stay / a bed to sleep in, and don't have any other requirements for an hotelroom, than this is a great place to stay. But everything just looked a bit old & dirty. If you want a bit more comfort I would suggest going to one of the other hotels nearby.

Price really wasn't bad and the breakfast was good. Staff is really friendly and nice. Also I didn't hear a sound from the pub downstairs eventhough I stayed their on a Thursday and a Friday night.

So, stay here if you are alright with less comfort / luxury than a normal hotel room.

Hadn t been in years. Just as I remembered it. Tourists would love it

Only been to the bar. Can't comment on the hotel. Bit pricey but loads of seating.

Nice traditional pub, plenty of space, good beers and music. Pretty lively most evenings.

A few things need to be addressed here which i will do in as much detail as i can. I get security. The Ferryman gives you a card to buzz in. That s great but the people that answer the door are not polite nor are the directions to buzz in clear. For instance I tried to buzz in moments ago and my response was people are trying to sleep here so keep it down . Really? Might was well be in a Hostel. I can Put up with NO a/c. I can Put up with the bar crowd being heard to 2am. But for someone to tell me to be quiet for hitting a buzzer that s pointless to have, I honestly cant accept. The place is ok, there isn t A/C that I m aware of, so we sweat non stop. If ur ok with that,I just warn the people answering the buzzer no so polite. For someone reading this that works there the date was 7/5

Nice pub just based of the docklands near Saint John Rogerson Quay. Very good for pints of guiness and drinks and nice seating areas / snugs.
It also does nice carvery lunches during the day.
Very useful for for anyone looking for some casual drinks or if you want to get some some nice casual lunch in the area.
