The Old Royal Oak

Tucked away on Kilmainham Lane in Dublin 8, The Royal Oak is a cosy, old-school Dublin pub packed with character and local charm.

Family-run and dating back to the 1800s, it’s the kind of spot to settle in for a pint of Guinness, soak up the traditional atmosphere and enjoy a proper neighbourhood pub experience.

Dogs are very much part of the welcome here, with four-legged visitors allowed inside and water bowls available.
