The Bull & Castle, Dublin
This is by far not just another Irish pub in Dublin, but a pub-style steakhouse with craft beers. Run by six generations of the Buckley family – originally butchers and purveyors of the finest quality meats, and subsequently operators of some of the nation’s favourite steakhouses, gastro-pubs and bars – since 1930, this place is indeed one of Ireland's top gastronomic attractions.
Whether you want a fine dining experience or a world-class burger and beer, you'll find it all here. While steak connoisseurs will enjoy Angus and Hereford beef, others may find something up to their liking from a vast European and Irish menu featuring plenty of alternative choices, as well as healthy options, which are changed seasonally and reflect the freshest Irish produce.
In the uniquely designed beer hall, there is an extensive selection of Irish beers from local breweries, a huge list of bottled beer, whiskeys, premium spirits and wine from around the world, plus a wide choice of cocktails.
Drink prices are reasonable. If you are a beer fan or want to have fun with friends, this is the place to go. And don't be shy to ask the staff for their expert advice – this is what they are here for!
Opening Hours:
Tuesday-Wednesday: 16:00-21:00; Thursday: 16:00-22:30; Friday-Saturday: 12:00-23:00; Sunday: 12:30-21:00.
