D was for The Dubliner

The Dubliner has a classic Irish pub feel, with a dark-wood interior, Emerald Isle memorabilia on the walls, and traditional drinking songs performed live most evenings.

Named for the James Joyce novel, Dubliners, the pub is a comfortable and convenient hangout nestled on the corner of Mass Ave. and North Capitol. The Dubliner’s address makes it an ideal happy hour spot for Hill staffers and commuters and tourists embarking from Union Station, just a block away. The spacious interior fills quickly in the late afternoons, with everyone from young DCers to out-of-town families crowding around the tables in the Dubliner’s large interior. In the warm months, the ample sidewalk patio is also buzzing as soon as the day’s humidity begins to dissipate.

The bar offers a decent selection of draughts, with plenty of Guinness (and Smithwick’s) on tap. Dubliner also offers its own takes on an amber ale and an Irish lager, with the hops imported straight from County Killkenny, Ireland. The Dubliner also offers a full menu of Irish comfort food, including beef stew and corned beef and cabbage. Try the Guinness burger, a Guinness-marinated beef patty perched on a potato pancake and topped with Welsh cheese sauce – decadent and delicious.

Dubliner has a welcoming, homey feel and a friendly, high-spirited crowd with characters that would make James Joyce proud. The excellent selection of beers on tap will remind you of the real thing in Dublin. DC’s Dubliner is definitely worth a visit.
