MERRY PLOUGHBOY MUSIC PUB PLUS
The menu is well thought out, offering an à la carte selection, a ‘pub favourites’ section, plus daily blackboard specials and a choice of vegetarian and children’s dishes. The dining area of the pub is cosy and inviting, with memorabilia charting the historic pub’s vibrant and colourful history, while bare wood and candlelight set the mood, creating a warm and homely ambience. Suppliers are all name-checked on the menu to include both local (Rathfarnham) vegetable and herb producers, and other leading producers from across the country such as Kettyle’s beef (Fermanagh), Silver Hill duck (Cavan), Galway Bay mussels, Slaney Valley lamb, Glin Valley chicken, Wicklow Baun and Cashel Blue cheeses. As soon as you glance at the menu, you know you’re in for something more than mere pub grub. Formerly known as Doherty’s, the business was bought in 2006 by a band of traditional musicians known as The Merry Ploughboys, who have since developed this popular drinking hole into a leading live music and entertainment venue.Įvery night, in the room above the pub, they host a live traditional Irish music performance accompanied by a troupe of Irish dancers, where guests can have a four-course meal while they enjoy the show.Īnd, thankfully, the food in no way plays second fiddle to the music at The Merry Ploughboy.

Having been serving pints since 1780, this is one of Dublin’s oldest pubs.
