The Stag's Head

Carved mahogany climbs every surface, including the ceiling, and the stained glass and mosaic floors have been there long enough that the Victorians would still feel at home. The Stag's Head is an old-school Dublin pub on a tucked-away court off Dame Street, the kind of place where the craftsmanship does the decorating and nobody felt the need to update anything. Order a pint and let the room do the talking.
