About

J.R. Mahon’s Craft Brewery is a vibrant slice of Dublin life nestled on the banks of the River Liffey. With origins dating back to 1858, the 19‑storey pub has evolved from a shellfish tavern to a modern gastropub that still exudes the charm of its 19th‑century roots. The heart of the venue is its on‑site brewery, where fresh ales, stouts and lagers are crafted daily, letting visitors taste the pride of Irish craft beer right beside the historic bar.

The spacious lounge offers prime viewing angles for large screens broadcasting rugby, soccer, Gaelic games, and even NFL match‑ups—making it the go‑to destination for sports fans. At the same time, the accommodating staff and hearty menu ensure a family‑friendly experience, with a menu that ranges from classic burger options to vegan pastries and gluten‑free dishes. Here, patrons can enjoy a relaxed afternoon café vibe, a bustling dinner service, or a weekend event, all within a historic building that echoes Dublin’s past while serving the present. Whether you’re here for a pint, a meal or a match, J.R. Mahon’s delivers a full spectrum of Irish hospitality, live entertainment, and world‑class beer.
