3-star guesthouse above a historic Dublin pub with live traditional Irish music every night

Live Music and Entertainment

O'Donoghue'S showcases live traditional Irish music seven nights a week in the pub below. The venue is known as the birthplace of The Dubliners and Paddy Reilly, making it a landmark in Irish folk music history. Guests can join the Wednesday session, an open jam where anyone with an instrument can participate.

Guest Rooms

Each room at O'Donoghue'S Hotel Dublin was fully refurbished in 2026 and includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and hairdryer. Rooms also come with a refrigerator, television, and tea and coffee making facilities. Premium bedding and soundproofing help ensure a comfortable stay despite the lively pub below.

Location

O'Donoghue's Dublin is located beside St. Stephen's Green and within walking distance of Trinity College and Grafton Street. The National Museum of Ireland - Natural History is also nearby, along with numerous restaurants and shops. Public transport links include the LUAS, buses, and the DART station just a short walk away.

Pub History and Atmosphere

O'Donoghue's Pub Merrion Row is one of Dublin's oldest bars, deeply connected to the city's musical heritage. The pub's walls are decorated with photographs of The Dubliners, and the bar maintains a traditional ledger book for hotel reservations. The community atmosphere encourages interactions between guests and local patrons.

Practical Information
