The Dubliner

While this little bar may be tiny, the heart of it all is unmatched. The Dubliner, Dallas’ longest running Irish pub, offers a stacked selection of Irish beers, whiskeys, and spirits. So make a new friend at the long wooden bar, shoot some darts, and rock out to some tunes, because you’ll want to stay for hours at this cozy little haunt. The beer certainly reflects the Emerald Isle influences, on tap are Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's, Newcastle and a rotating selection of featured beer. The bottles are heavy on the Irish and UK suds with some domestic and international brews, whiskey and other spirits rounding out the menu. The food is decidedly American bar grub, mostly sandwiches. The closest the menu gets to the other side of the pond is a spiced Welsh rarebit of cheddar, Smithwick's Ale, worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, scallions and bacon. Whether you stop by for a pint or a nosh you'll be kept warm by the crackling fireplace inside in the winter or cooled down while chatting up new friends on the air-conditioned patio in the summer.
