Master Critic Review
Dublin's Irish Whiskey Pub
7.9
A true downtown sports pub that keeps happy hour simple: cold pints, loud TVs, and a wing order that’s built for game days. The wings lean classic pub style—crispy, saucy, and ideal with a whiskey-and-beer rhythm. It’s not fancy, but it is dependable and social.

What makes it special: Game-day pub energy with reliable happy-hour wings.
Who should go: Sports fans and after-work beer crews.
When to visit: Happy hour before big games.
What to order: Buffalo wings, nachos, a pint.
Insider tip: Arrive 30 minutes pre-game for good booth picks.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Wilshire can be tight during game nights; nearby paid garages at The Bloc and surrounding office buildings typically run $8–$15 after 5pm.
Dress code: Casual—jerseys, jeans, and game-day outfits are the norm.
Noise level: Loud during games with limited conversation ease; quieter earlier in happy hour.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during major sporting events; otherwise manageable.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, especially outside peak game windows.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options like fries, salads, and basic bar snacks.
Vegan options: Very limited—expect minimal modifications rather than dedicated items.
Gluten-free options: No formal GF menu; some items may be adaptable but cross-contact is likely in a pub kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if both people are sports fans—it's lively, loud, and energetic, better for casual hangs than intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's mostly walk-in based, but arrive early before big games to secure a booth.
Is it kid-friendly? Suitable for older kids during daytime and early evening; late nights lean bar-heavy and less appropriate for families.
Best For
Better for: Game-day energy, whiskey selection, and straightforward pub wings in a social, sports-focused setting.
Skip if: You want quiet conversation, craft cocktails, or refined small plates—this is a true pub experience.
