About Dice Bar
Dice Bar on Queen Street is Smithfield's ultimate local haunt , a rollicking pub that's been slinging pints and cracking grub since the '90s. If you're after that authentic Dublin pub experience without the Temple Bar tourist crush, this is it. Steps from the Luas and Jameson, it's where locals decompress after work or gear up for a night out. Step inside to vaulted ceilings, mismatched furniture, and walls adorned with rock memorabilia , it's got character in spades.
Food-wise, expect pub perfection: juicy gourmet burgers (the Dice Burger with blue cheese is a must), fish and chips with mushy peas, or loaded nachos for sharing. Midweek specials like €12 steak sandwiches keep it affordable. Wash it down with a perfect pint of Guinness or from their vast craft beer selection , IPAs from Galway Bay, stouts from Porterhouse. DJs spin vinyl on weekends, turning it into a pre-club vibe machine.
What to Expect
A no-frills, high-energy spot with sticky tables and sticky floors (the good kind!). Food served till late, prices budget-to-mid (€12-€20), and it's heaving on match days when Dublin GAA fans spill over from Croke Park buses.
Insider Tips
Hit it for the 5pm burger hour , unbeatable value. Chat up bartender Mick for beer recs; he's a walking encyclopaedia. Back bar's quieter for dates, front for banter. After, hit Bonobo for pizza chasers. If exploring Smithfield's film scene, it's near the Light House Cinema. Dice Bar captures Dublin's pub soul , hearty, honest, and endlessly fun for your Smithfield restaurant crawl.
