About Quinn's Public House
Quinn's Public House stands as a Phibsborough nightlife gem on bustling Phibsborough Road, just a short wander from the Luas stop and the vibrant North Circular Road. This traditional spot punches above its weight as a nightclub alternative, with late-night DJ sessions that turn the cosy pub into a sweaty, joyous dance haven. Locals swear by its unpretentious charm, where the wooden bar gleams under low lights and the walls echo with laughter from generations of Dubliners. Nestled in the eclectic Phibsborough neighbourhood, it's steps from indie cafes and the serene Blessington Basin, offering a perfect blend of heritage and hedonism.
What to Expect
Inside, find a compact dance area where punters groove to eclectic mixes of indie, pop, and Irish rap. The atmosphere crackles with camaraderie, pints sloshing as elbows bump on the floor. Affordable drinks keep the party going, with specials on vodka mixers and local craft beers. Live bands kick off some evenings, seamlessly transitioning to DJ sets that last till the wee hours. The crowd is a mix of Phibsborough regulars, students, and northside crews, all united by the infectious energy.
Insider Tips
Head in on Saturday for the best club nights; arrive early to claim a corner booth for people-watching. Chat up the bartenders for hidden drink deals, and don't miss the trad music sessions earlier that evolve into dancing. Wear jeans and trainers, it's laid-back. Post-club, grab a taxi or Luas to avoid the 2am stagger home. For Phibsborough's authentic nightclub scene without the Temple Bar crowds, Quinn's delivers pure Dublin soul every time.
It's more than a pub, it's where Phibsborough nights come alive with rhythm and community spirit.
