57 The Headline

I like this place, it traditional but new, it is a pub but clean, it is kind of trendy but with regulars having a drink there every night. As may you already noticed there is trend in Dublin to open pubs with craft beers and games, sorry to disappoint you but this pub has only craft beers, no games. It has a good selection of «alternative» beers, many of them from the tap. The staff is friendly and the food is nice, may the menu is a bit short, but remember: you are in a pub.
This pub in the city center would be overcrowded every night, but due to its location it is easy to get a table to have a drink and a chat with friends.

I’ve eaten here quite a lot and have never been disappointed the food is exceptional and the staff have a great knowledge of the craft beers they serve and can assist with any queries you may have. Get the fish and chips !!!

Great selection of Craft beers and friendly staff. This is one of my favorite places in Dublin for fish and chips :) it’s located on Clanbrassil street and because it’s not directly in the city centre there’s usually plenty of seats too and it’s never overly crowded.

Upstairs lounge 1 stars + downstairs pub 4 stars = average 2.5 stars.
Visited on Sat evening and ventured upstairs to the lounge as the pub was busy with a RWC match on. Was told by the manager that tables are only for dining guests and when I asked when one might be available to use for drinks, he retorted with a snarky «how long is a piece of string» comment. Mind you, the place was mostly empty at 9 pm, with the kitchen closing at 10.
Rebuffed by him, we went back downstairs and had a decent time — the barmen were knowledgeable about craft beer and made some good recommendations. The pub was also inclined towards local spirits, rather enjoyed quite a few Dingle gin + tonics.
Unfortunately the earlier experience left a pretty bad taste in my mouth so I won’t be back again. Bad customer service is awful, but when it’s laced with sarcasm, it’s unforgivable.

I’ve been here now twice and love it here — despite it being slightly out of my way, but plenty of bus routes nearby helps.
As far as I know it’s the only independent craft beer pub in Dublin. With a lovely variety to choose from indeed.
The first time I went for their lamb burger and loved it. Next time we were in a group and got platter with our beer tasting. The platter consisted of wedges, lovely crispy onion rings but our favourites were the lemon and honey chicken wings. Even a friend who loves his chicken wings elsewhere declared them his favourites.
Lovely staff and atmosphere help enjoying your stay there. I’ll definitly will take the journey more often in future.

Fabulous bar with very friendly staff. Food is great and their selection of craft beers and spirits is second to none

Nice mix if décor and great selection of craft beers. Posh with their Prosecco on tap.

Revisited last night with 2 girl friends and was as good again.
The upstairs restaurant is now gone but we did try their brownie dessert and it was gorgeous.
I had wings again– shocker! And the beef burger with smoked gubeen, red pepper salsa and crispy fried shallots. No bun. Delish.
The portions really are very big here though so I wouldn’t order starter and main again as for the second time I left half the burger behind and a lot of the chips.

Lovely bar with a nice, warm atmosphere. Fantastic selection of beer & whiskey with an emphasis on irish produce. I’ll be back to try the food.

I’m so lucky to have The Headline as my local! Re-​opened just shy of a year, the vibe in the place is relaxed, you’d never suspect that it hasn’t been part of the buzz around South Circular Road for longer.
For drink and food, it offers excellent value that can’t be found in the city centre — I want to keep it a secret! My failsafe tipple is the Dingle Gin and tonic — € 5.50! € 2 less than most city centre pubs, and you’re always guaranteed a seat, rather than muscling through the hoards of trendy people spilling out onto the streets on South William St.
I recently tried their newly opened upstairs restaurant — which also has a fully stocked bar upstairs. They’ve an impressive selection of grub, but I was disappointed to see only one vegetarian option on a menu of about 10 mains for meat eaters. Given that the spiced chickpea burger was moreish and satisfying, I’d rather more choice if I was to dine there again. It was served with a bulgar wheat salad, a welcome change from a side of chips. We did however order a side of chips — on the advice of the friendly waitress (whom I think is one of the co-​owners), we got one to share — and I’m glad we did, it was a very generous serving of beautifully cut home made chips. We lingered a while upstairs, and were encouraged to do so — the staff there are so accommodating! I was so encouraged by the food I’d just eaten that I managed to make my way through a rich chocolate brownie, served with vanilla ice-​cream, both tasted as though they were made of high quality ingredients, as I have no doubt they probably were!
I’d recommend this place to anyone, if you’re looking for a cosy drink, a relaxed dining experience (they recommend beers for each main course), it apparently stocks Ireland’s largest selection of craft beers on tap, if you’re into craft beers (which my dining partner was!) And you can’t rival an Irish gin and tonic for € 5.50!

Craft beer and cozy seats. We went out of our way to try herr and I was not disappointed. A lovely cosy venue with good beers.

Of all the pubs and bars in Dublin, this hasn’t been my favorite.
Their food is just average — I got pork ribs what were quite overcooked and not tender. The accompanying potato salad was delicious, though. Figures they would have good potatoes, it is Ireland after all…
Beer selection is decent! Came here for the. Dublin launch of a coworker’s friends brewery. Lots of beer tastings and friendly staff.
Would come again if I other places were busy and I’m just looking for a place to grab a beer.

A great selection of craft beers served by friendly staff. The wine on offer was also good.
A comfortable place with lots of cosy places to sit and enjoy yourself. The pies were nice, however, not enough for a meal. It really should have been served with a side of hot chips. It would also have been nice for a wine-​pie deal for those non-​beer drinking people.

A really great local bar. The bar staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Great selection of craft beers on tap/​cask (allegedly Ireland’s largest selection…). Beer or whiskey tasting trays allow great sampling options. Prices are also far more reasonable here than in many of Dublin’s extortionate craft beer bars.
A variety of cocktails are also available at very reasonable prices, most using irish distillery spirits and home-​infused specialties.
A full dining option is still pending, but pies and charcuterie boards more than make up for it.

Hurrah! A great craft pub. Have been here a couple of times now and can’t fault it.
Good service, good beer selection and good pies. What more could you want?
Trendy décor but nice and relaxing at the same time. Quite easy to wile away a few hours here trying out the different offerings.

I’ve been a couple of times now to 57 The Headline and I like it, a lot.
The place is brighter than some other craft beer bars in the city. It also has plenty of comfortable tables and chairs.
There is an excellent array of Irish and International craft beers on tap, as well as an Irish cider, Stonewell — yay. The blackboard lists some of your commoner cocktails. It even lists guest casks and whiskies.
There are pies too — the world is always a better place when there are pies. You can get a pint and a pie for 11 EUR. Sometimes 10 EUR if there is a deal with a particular beer that week. Alas the Stonewell cider was not part of either deal, but it was only 70c more — not too bad for a pint of nice craft cider and a yummy pie.
The pie was nice, chicken and leek, it came with a small bowl of pickled onions and sliced gherkins. The pickled onions and sliced gherkins I could leave, perhaps a handful of crisps instead?
Overall, I am a fan and I am glad this place has opened up near to us.

Really impressed with this pub now I have to say. Good selection of craft beers, friendly knowledgeable staff and simple, high quality food. Was here most recently two weeks ago.

I was hoping to find my very own local. Not here. Large selection of craft beer on tap, one cider only, and some taps dry. Biggest complaint, the owner pulls pints in very bad humour.

The old Headline bar has been refurbished and now serves a great selection of craft beers and ciders along with a limited but delish food menu. Beer, pies and cheeseboard, good enough! The décor is cosy, seats are comfy, there are a few little cosy nooks to hang out in. The only negatives would be no outdoor area which is fine for the winter but come spring will be an issue, also I found the wine list very pricey for a pub. Oh and they have Keogh’s crisps!
