THE VOICE IN THE CROWD

  • We were so cold and looking for a place to eat. Found Dukes, there was a Cozy fire. I had the fish and chips, which was delicious. The batter was so light and fluffy, my BF had the pie which wasn’t great but average.

  • This is a fun pub just off of Grafton Street in Dublin. We came for a late dinner and ended up being helped by one of the owners. He made the entire evening so enjoyable. The food was good, the beer was cold, and the atmosphere was fun.

  • Our first day in Dublin found us strolling at lunch time. We chose The Duke on a whim and the food and service were outstanding – the perfect introduction to Irish pubs and a fun way to begin our stay in Ireland. Convenient to Grafton Street and so much more.

  • Recently popped into The Duke on a rainy day as I really like the Guinness there, always has a nice cosy atmosphere and a quiet corner to read the paper in. As the rain didn’t look like it was going anywhere I decided I might as well feed myself too. Wasn’t expecting much other than standard pub fare but was pleasantly surprised.
