"The Long Hall made it onto my “Dublin Pub Crawl” list thanks to a mix of online recommendations and a bartender at the Guinness Gravity Bar. And when a Guinness bartender tells you where to get a great pint, you go. No questions asked.

This authentic pub is old, beautiful and full of charm. A perfect place to slow down for a pint of Guinness, which is exactly what we did, along with a couple of Baby Guinness shots to keep things interesting.

One thing that instantly caught my eye was the big clock behind the bar with a sign under it that reads “Correct Time.” Naturally, it was not correct at all. I was hoping the bartender had some funny story or long-running pub legend behind it, but he just shrugged. No explanation whatsoever. The mystery lives on.

Overall, The Long Hall is a must-stop. Great atmosphere, great pints and a place that absolutely earns its reputation. Even without the backstory on the “Correct Time” clock, the visit was worth it."

"This has been my favourite place in Dublin for a Guinness since I first entered the door at 19 years old, 21 years later and not a lot has changed except the price of a pint but the atmosphere is still the same. Classic Irish pub with over 250 years of history, Guinness is exceptional. Highly recommend."

"Over the last few years my wonderful partner has been discovering his Irish roots and reconnecting with his Irish family. On a rainy afternoon in Dublin he was excited to share with me one of Dublins most iconic venues that has played its part in his recent odyssey.

Upon entering it’s easy to understand why this historic boozer is a firm favourite with the locals and tourists alike. Obviously Guinness was our ‘tipple of choice’…( Like there’s any other when visiting a Dublin institution such as this! )

However, you have to understand when you order this national beverage in Dublin there are a few rules involved… NEVER drink from your pint until the nectar is settled and 100% black in colour. ALWAYS place your pint on a beer mat. - I got ‘schooled’ twice in a non verbal firm but friendly manner by the barman - Sláinte.

The bar is very traditional, brass fittings, long case clocks, gloss paint on the walls and vintage branded paraphernalia returning you to the halcyon days of drinking - without the cigarette smoke.

The place filled up quickly with locals, regulars and after work drinkers - a very pleasant time was spent but sadly after a couple of pints of the brilliant ‘black stuff’ we had to make our way back outside into the rain taking advantage of the complimentary umbrellas on offer at the door - which is a super nice touch and very useful.

Thank you and see you again soon I hope x"
