The Lower Deck

Situated canal side in Portobello The Lower Deck in the upper echelons when it comes to the traditional Dublin pub.

A pleasant paved civic area in Harbour Square enhances The Lower Deck’s environment.

The black and white pictures of old Dublin at the entrance to the pub set the scene. The panelled mirrors and the
dominance of timber have resisted the advance of modernity. In fact there is only one important exception – the TV screens.

This intrusion is allowed because the clientele love their sport and especially the G.A.A. teams of Tipperary and Dublin.

The floor area is not like the big pubs in which you could land a jumbo jet no bother. The Lower Deck opts for intimacy, with comfortable enclaves which cater for groups of 8 to 10 people. It is an ideal venue for visitors seeking a live music scene and a party night out.

From Wednesday to the weekends the diversity of music tastes is catered for with sing-along cabaret shows, plenty of rock music and the monthly traditional Irish music showcase.

Tasty sandwiches are available at lunchtime. If you are a smoker, you can enjoy the relaxation of the square which was once a harbour.

Inside or out, life is good on The Lower Deck.
