The Old Stand — Restaurant in Dublin

I am editing this review to include a recent visit. The Web states the pub opens at 12noon on Sunday. I arrived a little after noon & the pub was closed. There were quite a few people outside waiting to get in. Two English tourists had been recommended to have Sunday lunch there. I saw someone inside, I knocked on the door & was Ignored. A bit later I knocked again, I asked if they were going to open, the individual shook his head as if to say no. To make a long story short, most outside left to go to other places.

It's the perfect spot to enjoy a drink while soaking in the lively street scene or catching some fresh air. The combination of warm interiors and the casual outdoor setup gives the pub a...

And to top it off, even remembered what we were looking to eat and asks us about it when we returned! Customer and relationship building at it's finest! I would go there again the next time I'm in Dublin! Also got to try a few different drinks - the Irish flag (shot) and 'Guinness and Black'! My family is hooked to the Guinness and Black!! Can't have...
