About The Duke Pub
Hidden on Duke Lane Upper off Dawson Street, mere minutes north of Merrion Square, The Duke Pub delivers daily live Irish music in a chic yet traditional setting. With leather booths, candlelight, and the mesmerising strains of harp and pipes, it's a sophisticated nod to Dublin's roots amid the bustle of Grafton Street shoppers. Popular with theatre-goers from nearby Gaiety and embassy folk from Merrion, it bridges the Square's grandeur with city centre energy.
What to Expect
Sessions from 7pm daily, blending trad with contemporary twists. Upscale pub fare like steak sandwiches; premium pints. Intimate 100-capacity, perfect acoustics.
