About The Liberty Belle
Welcome to The Liberty Belle, a gem among the best pubs in The Liberties, Dublin, where modern flair meets the neighbourhood's gritty charm. Nestled on Meath Street in the beating heart of this historic Dublin 8 area, this spot opened its doors recently but has quickly become a local favourite. Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian building, it blends exposed brick, plush velvet seating, and neon accents for an Instagram-worthy yet utterly relaxed vibe. As your friendly Dublin guide, I love how it captures The Liberties' spirit , rebellious, creative, and always up for craic. Swing by after exploring the nearby National College of Art and Design or the bustling markets on Francis Street, and you'll see why it's topping lists for pubs in The Liberties.
The area around here hums with energy: street art on every corner, the scent of fresh-baked soda bread from local delis, and the distant chime of St Audoen's bells. It's the perfect pitstop for craft beer enthusiasts or those seeking cocktails with an Irish twist.
What to Expect
Inside, anticipate a buzzing atmosphere with DJ sets on weekends, live acoustic gigs midweek, and a killer drinks menu: 20 taps of Irish craft beers like Rascals Brewing's DIPA, zingy IPAs from Galway Hooker, plus signature cocktails like the Belle Sazerac with local poitín. Food shines too , gourmet burgers with Black Angus beef, loaded fries, and small plates like crab claws in garlic butter. Vegetarian and vegan options abound, from tempura cauliflower to falafel bowls. Service is swift and smiley, even on packed Friday nights.
