The Hairy Lemon, City Centre South

View more pictures »

The enigmatic Hairy Lemon Pub was christened in memory of one of the city’s great characters who was a dog catcher in the 1950’s. He was reputed to boast a lemon shaped visage and a stubble of gooseberry like hair. This most enjoyable drinking establishment is just about as unconventional as it’s namesake. Even the 19th century house in which it resides is a little ‘outside-the-box’; with years of memorabilia a sitting room suspended in mid air, High Nellie’s, wellies and even Granny’s Kitchen, the block buster film ‘The Commitments’, lives on in the Hairy Lemon Pub. Many scenes were filmed using the snug and bar counter from the pub. Unknown to itself, the Hairy Lemon has become one of Dublin’s Trendiest Pubs. So…. “Here’s to the first drop-the one that destroys you; there’s no harm at all in the last”. Great food, service and a friendly atmosphere, but watch out for huge crowds at the weekends. Now Serving Breakfast! Monday to Friday: 9am to 12pm.

Amazing service! Had lovely food here with friends after donating blood. Let's just say I didn't feel well after donating blood and the waiter Simon was very professional and kind. If I had to find fault it was that the mayo was mixed with the sweet chilli sauce but this was sorted on request!

Just half a minute from the top of Grafton St - stopped here for a quick lunch for two: a pint of Guinness each from the pub, and the lunch menu from the food section of the Hairy Lemon (they share the premises, but are run as separate businesses). The food business is family run, with two brothers serving - full of charming Irish wit and engagement. Great value lunch special - soup plus main course for €9.99. I had the Steak Pie, my friend had Irish Stew - served with chips and soda bread. Both were excellent.
