About

A 4.7-star hidden gem tucked into Kilmainham Lane near the Gaol, The Old Royal Oak has changed little in over a century — small, dog-friendly, and celebrated for its warm welcome, brilliant trad sessions, and one of the finest pints of Guinness on the southside. Con Houlihan wrote of it as 'like a piece of the country in the heart of the city'. A must-visit before or after Kilmainham Gaol.
