Oliver St John Gogarty

Dublin is famed for its nightlife, and one great pub that undergirds its sterling reputation is Oliver St John Gogarty. Nestled in Temple Bar, on the corner of Fleet Street and Anglesea Street, this charming traditional Irish bar is named after the famous playwright, poet and surgeon. Showcasing live traditional Irish music sessions throughout the week, it promises a bubbly atmosphere every time you walk through the door. The pub is spread over three floors, comprising two of Temple Bar’s oldest buildings, and gives visitors the chance to sample olde world charm, enjoy the live music and dance – or alternatively to nip upstairs to eat in the restaurant. While the walls of the bar are festooned with books and framed photographs, a bronzed statue of the establishment’s eponymous icon stands beside a bar stool. Overhead, early 19th-century carts and bicycles dangle from the ceiling. Wall-mounted TVs, meanwhile, ensure patrons never miss the latest major sporting events. In the third-floor restaurant, the decor is similarly inviting: exposed wooden beams stretch overhead, while old-fashioned notices and posters are pinned to the walls. If you skip a visit to the restaurant, you’re missing out: prime Irish beef, fresh seafood and hearty Dublin coddle are just some of the options that await; this is Irish fare at its best.
