About Flannery's Bar
Nestled on Camden Street Lower, Flannery's is a Portobello favourite for its no-frills authenticity and buzzing atmosphere. This Portobello pub draws locals from the canal docks and Rathmines with its sticky floors, racing on telly, and banter that flows like the Grand Canal outside. Opened decades ago, it's the kind of spot where strangers become mates over a pint, embodying Dublin's pub soul in the Portobello neighbourhood.
What to Expect
Expect classic pub fare, scampi fries, toasties, and platters, washed down with Guinness or a crisp lager. The compact interior bursts with character: dartboards, GAA memorabilia, and a loyal crowd spilling onto the street in summer. It's louder on weekends with DJs or live gigs, quieter for weekday lock-ins. Prices are pub-standard, service swift and friendly.
Insider Tips
Head in before 7pm Friday for the best seats; it's a pre-club staple near Whelan's. Try the 'Flannery's special' toastie with a pint for under €10, pure comfort. Stroll from Portobello Harbour (10 mins) and hit Bleeding Horse next door for a Camden Street trifecta. Locals swear by their whiskey selection; ask for a rare pour. In the roster of best pubs in Portobello Dublin, Flannery's wins for unpretentious craic and that elusive 'local' feel.
