Dubliners

I liked it here for the most part. I felt a little old for the place, but it was still fun. On our way there a man outside gave us a drink card so it was a free shot with each beer and two wells for 10 euro. I had raspberry vodka and sprite. Quite loud and lots of Americans. Two bars… One in the back was not busy.

Monday night and Arsenal was playing so needed to find a pub for the game. The Dubliners was around the corner from where we had tapas. It was quite there, just a few customers, so we found some seats, ordered some beers and watched the game. It was a nice pub — no complaints like the other reviews.

Worst pub ever, 2 stories about the bartender:
1. first time I went there with some friends, I bought at least 36 shots for my friends. Then I saw people came to the bar with some kind of promotion and they can get the shot for free. Ok~ I asked one of the bartenders:” can i have some promotions please?” Then this bartender was like: «no i can’t give it to you», when i ask why he was like, «i can’t sorry». What do you mean you can’t? I paid you tips and I bought a lot of shots one time. This is the way you welcome your customers??? I didn’t mind to spend money on the drinks, but I just wanted to feel good & special with this promotion. I turned around and found the busperson, asked him for some promotions. He gave me many since he saw I paid all the drinks.
2. Around 2 months later, my friends asked me to go with them there. I totally forgot about what happened before, until this SPECIFIC bartender reminds me again. Here is the story, normally the cocktails will cost 6 €, but my friends got this promotion 2 cocktails for 10 €. I bought one cocktail first and my friend reminded me after I just paid, then I was like wait, I got this coupon. This same bartender said:“no, i can’t give it to you. It’s done.” What do you mean it’s done? Come on, it was only 5 seconds I got out the coupon and you didn’t even open the register yet. The money was still on the desk. I don’t know what his name is, tall and short hair blondy, around 30 and looks bit workout.
I would never go back there. They need some serious training for the bartenders.

An average Irish with overpriced beer and cold waitstaff. Ordering a drink is a process. I’ve never tried the food but I don’t think I want to. This place is nice if you’d like to meet other English speakers or Spanish people looking to improve their English. Sometimes they charge a cover to enter. Ridiculous! Cover, for a bar? Who does that!

I had a good time here!
Probably because it was filled with all study abroad students. We went out for a girl’s birthday, but it was so much fun!
Shots were really cheap and music was good.
Must visit– WITH your friends!

I had a great time here — I needed a place to watch Formula 1 with Sky Sports, and this was a perfect location. It’s near the Puerta del Sol, and easy to find. It’s a fairly large place, but I stuck to the front bar area.
The bartender, Jonas, was great. He made good drinks and was friendly, and when I forgot my phone on the bar, he put it away for me so it wouldn’t get stolen. Dubliners has a good reputation for being a safer place where you don’t have to worry *as* much.
The food is pretty average, but I only ate a very little bit. I went there for the race and for drinks, and it seems to be a pretty popular expat place, so English abounds — which was a nice change for me. There was free WiFi, it was pretty empty during the day (even in the evenings), and even the regulars were really very friendly and inclusive.
It’s worth visiting if you’re a bit homesick, or need some US/​UK sports in your life.

Great place for wednesday euro shots and american music!
They have ginormous screens for football and basketball games :)

Un pub irlandés con todas las de la ley! Muy atentos los mesoneros y muy guay la gente que frecuenta el establacimiento, eso sí, muchos parlantes de inglés, pocos de español. ¡Interesante!

No, no, no!
Aunque confieso que yo soy más de discotequeo y ese tipo de cosas, siempre me apetece una cerveza y unas risas en un buen pub; lástima que este no lo sea.
Fui una vez después de comer a probarlo antes de ir allí expresamente a estar por la noche, porque me pilla algo lejos de casa: los camareros me parecieron bastante (con perdón) ineptos y muy muy bordes. Se empeñaron en traer unas patatas fritas muy rancias y cuando le dije «no te preocupes, no hace falta. Solo vamos a tomar café» me respondió con un «bueno pues va a ser que café café no tengo, tiene que ser café irlandés». En serio??? Me vas a decir que el café irlandes viene de unos granos de café con alcohol ya en ellos o que es recicláis los cafés? Además nos trajeron la cuenta unos 20 minutos después sin haberla pedido. Al principio creí que sería por el cambio de turno pero solo fue a nuestra mesa… Indignante. No pienso volver.

If you’re homesick for America (or if you’re just really bad at Spanish and want to speak English to people), this is the place for you.
From what I’ve been told, this bar is a popular haunt for American students and teens living in Spain. The night I went, everyone I met there was a study abroad student from the States who were knocking back a couple of drinks before going out clubbing.
As far as the drinks go, everything is pretty standard. They usually give out tickets for drink deals, and the night I went, a pint and a shot was 4 euros.
All in all, not a bad bar to go to if you just want to hang out with some Americans for a change.

It was fine. Only giving 2 stars because there was nothing special about it. Nothing bad but nothing terribly good.

2 stars is a little low; 4 stars is a little high…
I don’t know, it is an average Irish bar, nothing special. But again, what do you expect from an Irish bar? No offense. I do think it’s unfairly reviewed here. Just because big crowds are not your thing doesn’t necessarily mean the place is bad. It can get packed with tourists and locals alike at times, but the service is good. The drinks are good. The food is not so bad for a Sports Irish bar. The toilets are clean (at least the ladies’ room is)… It’s really not bad (and this is coming from someone who detests sports and beer bars). I’ve been here a few times for the chicken wings (which I now find too greasy) and convenience.
Americans and Brits, especially newbies in Spain, can get their «fix» here just fine. Besides soccer, they play American football (Not that I care) and sometimes NHL. It’s not bad if what you want is a place to mingle with English-​speakers and get quick friendly service. (Though I don’t understand why anyone coming to Spain is always looking for other tourists from the same country.) But, c’est la vie!
Just stop by and be the judge. Oh, and they have free Wi-​Fi! (Weefee!)

Went here with my boyfriend’s cousin and his friends. Basically — this is the place you «pregame» and stay at til 1:30 or so when the clubs are busier. The drinks are a lot cheaper, and apparently their food isn’t bad but I haven’t tried it.
As well, they usually have people giving out tickets for cheaper drink specials. Apparently the owner wants to create competition between Dubliners and another bar (which, shh, he owns as well) to drum up business.
Nonetheless — not a terrible bar. Worth staying at for a few hours before having a big night and paying a lot of money at a club.
Oh, also, I’m 23 and I got IDed my second night coming here — which I thought was pretty funny.

I have to say that the only reason I went here is because I heard they showed NFL. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m in Madrid and I want to watch American Football and not the good kind. Trust me, I love futbol as much as the next Madrileno, but sometimes I just need a fix of hard hitting NFL…
That said, it seemed I was just another American (or Brit) there to watch football. There were a few Spaniards there to watch some futbol, but I have a feeling most of them avoid it because of the rowdy bastards watching dimwits tackle on another (oh man now I’m even insulting the sport…).
There menu was cheap and I got a plate of wings which were actually pretty good, with a breading but a little greasy. It came with a spicy sauce and blue cheese dressing, which made for a decent 4 $, but I wasn’t thrilled with their d

I am not a particular fan of this Irish Pub and let me state that it has nothing to do with the overall service. I find the people working there to be friendly and the service to be relatively quick.
With that said, this place draws in the tourist crowd (especially Brits & Americans) and turns into a bit of a meat market in the evening. Now if you are reading this guys in hopes that this is where you come to meet beautiful Spanish girls, think again. It always seems to be a place where Spanish guys come to get tourist girls (lucky ladies) or tourists finding tourists…
I’ve been here twice with large groups later in the evening and it is quite often packed. It might be your thing, it simply isn’t mind. If you are looking for some quiet pints and conversation, you’d do better to hit one of «Cerverceria’s» on the street.

Aunque ofrece comidas y aperitivos, su fuerte son la música, y la cerveza. Como buen irlandés presenta todas las variedades posibles. Ofrece todos los grandes partidos de la liga inglesa, las competiciones de rugby, y otros acontecimientos deportivos de interés en las islas. Por la noche, sobre todo entre semana confluyen sobre todo angloparlantes turistas que se mezclan con estudiantes Erasmus, y jóvenes estadounidenses que también desarrollan su carrera en Madrid. Pocos lugares en la capital ofrecen tantas posibilidades de practicar el inglés de manera improvisada.
Tras acudir a un cumpleaños de cena tomamos las cervezas de rigor, y me sorprendió lo que pasaban en sus pantallas: reportajes sobre el creador de la serie japonesa «Campeones», kick boxing, y sobre todo una modalidad de peleas no regladas en las que los tipos se enzarzaban a sopapos tras caer en una jaula. Obviamente ganaba el que tumbaba al otro.

Este es uno más de los bares irlandeses cerca de la Puerta del Sol.
Está ubicado en la calle Espoz y Mina, 7, a un lado de su Pub hermano, Oconnell St. Los precios, las bebidas, la carta y los dueños son los mismos en ambos, lo único que varía un poco es el horario.
Dubliners es un bar turístico, el local es grande con dos salones llenos de televisiones y al igual que su vecino, de madera vieja y adornos irlandeses. Además de ofrecer copas y un par de cervezas extranjeras cuenta con carta de alimentos durante todo el día. La mayoría es comida rápida tipo americana, hamburguesas, sándwiches, pizzas, nachos, además de especialidades irlandesas. Lo más recomendable es el desayuno irlandés por € 5.70, dos huevos, dos tiras de bacon, dos salchichas, champiñones, morcilla, tomate, alubias y tostada.
El ambiente depende de la hora del día. Los fines de semana por la mañana hay muchos extranjeros, principalmente ingleses e irlandeses viendo sus deportes favoritos –futbol y rugby– y desayunando. Por la noche cambia completamente, suben la música, bajan las luces y el lugar se llena de todo tipo de personas. Prácticamente se vuelve una discoteca.
El servicio es deficiente, el trato es indiferente e inexperto, así como arrogante por parte de los encargados.
En este lugar es normal presenciar peleas, siempre hay borrachos durmiendo o molestando.
Únicamente recomiendo este lugar para ver un partido de la Champions, tienen pantallas por todas partes.

Todavía no me explico como entramos en este pub rollo irlandés, imagino que sería por la argentina plasta que nos estuvo comiendo la oreja en Sol.
Cómo ya nos imaginábamos, el rollo es guiri a tope, creo que éramos los únicos spanish spoken del sitio.
A mí particularmente el sitio no me moló nada, decorado en madera con la típica ‘parafernalia’ irlandesa. El local no está mal, al entrar a la derecha tiene una barra no muy grande, con sillas altas, y a la izquierda varias mesas de madera. Al fondo una pequeña sala con varias mesas.
De precio razonable, nada de musicón, si megapantalla y partidos, y guiris. Los camareros casi no hablan castellano.
Creo que el negocio está orientado a lo que está, a guiris.

ideal para una divercion sana segura y muy comoda !!

Uno de mis locales favoritos en Madrid, ideal para ir a tomar algo con tus amigos, novia, novio Es un olcal mas o menos grande, donde nada mas entrar te sentiras super agusto. Podras pedirte un buen cubo de cervezas, o cocteles de todo tipo, y sentarte en una mesa a disfrutar de tus amigos y del momento.
El precio es bastante bueno, y ahora tienen una oferta de dos cocteles por 8 euros que no se puede rechazar.
Hay mkuchos ingleses, per tambien muchos españoles y el ambiente es inmejorable, ideal para ir a tomar algo y relajarte un poco del stress de la universidad. Mucha gente joven, buen ambiente universitario, buenos precios que lo hacen un lugar al que es obligado acudir.

Dubliner’s es un pub irlandés que se encuentra en Madrid y que inauguraron hace unos 2 años. Está en el centro de la capital, justo en una de las calles paralelas a la Puerta del Sol.
Tiene una situación un tanto peculiar, ya que está pared con pared al famosísimo y ya tradicional O’connell Irish Tavern. Al igual que su compañero irlandés está decorado en madera, con una barra a la derecha nada más entrar, y con unas mesitas también en madera a la izquierda. El local no es tan grande como O’connell pero si lo que quiere es tener más tranquilidad, que haya menoS gente y tomarse una Beamish a gusto, Dubliner’s es el sitio adecuado.
Tiene ofertas similares a O’connell (un paquete de 6 cervezas Heineken o Coronita por 15 €). Además, tiene muy buen ambiente y la gran mayoría de los camareros no hablan español, por lo que puede practiar inglés sin salir de Madrid!
Un buen sitio para ir a tomarse unas cervezas, y ver un partido de fubtol inglés o español!

One wild pub crawl night in Madrid and we ended up here in Dubliners with its Happy Hour — our crawl special was 2 drinks for 10euros or you could get a bucket of beers for 15euros.
The music was good, the people were fun and the bar tenders mixed a strooong drink — perfect for a wild night out!
