The Dubliner is the only Irish pub in Bangkok that's Irish owned. And it’s not on the tourist trail, so the fact that it’s packed every night is testament to its quality. Those are locals propping up the bar, chatting up the waitresses, leaning over the pool tables - and it’s locals that give a pub its soul.
The pub’s set on three storeys. The icons of Ireland are all here - the road sign to Biorra, the Irish Times and GB Shaw, the map of the rugged Irish coastline, the mirrors advertising Bushmill’s. But they don’t look like they were carefully hung by an interior designer from Hong Kong, rather by a family of publicans from Limerick - Dad’s favourite ’Caffrey’s 2D Ale’, Mum’s ’Ross’s Royal Aerated Table Waters’.
Upstairs there’s a pool table, and a large big screen TV showing all sports and wonderful, broad high tables and tall stools for those who miss leaning at the bar. The walls have been painted a sensible nicotine colour as if stained by endless pouches of Old Holborn.
On the mezzanine you have an eye level view of the big screen sport, superb weathered and waxed floorboards, shelves of books and magazines, a low ceiling and a mix of hard backed and quilted leather chairs and sofas. It’s almost clubby - warm and intimate - the ideal atmosphere for a whiskey chaser to dream up another chapter of Myles na Gopaleen. Yet you still get all the noise of a busy pub, of family and friends getting gently bleary. And the staff are fantastic - smiley and attentive.
