I LOVE this place! ...When I need a break from the second street crowd I can always count on the Auld Dubliner for some great live music and a lively crowd! This bar goes off on weekends, so it may take you a minute to get a drink. Be patient, I have never seen these bartenders slacking off if a thirsty customer is in sight. The layout of the bar is great, more than enough room even on the most crowded nights- unless you want a spot on the patio or right next to the bar.
Warning to the ladies... You will most likely need to park in the parking structure and walk if you come on a Friday or Saturday night. So don't wear uncomfortable shoes!! Also, this place is super low key, so but don't dress like you're going to a club or you will sick out like a sore thumb.
**The door guy will validate your parking!!**
Pros: excellent floor plan, great live bands, awesome bartenders
Cons: parking =(

Great whiskey selection and all the right beers served efficiently by friendly bartenders. Impressive live Irish bands on a regular basis. What really makes this place, though, is the atmosphere. It's not pretentious or stuffy at all, and everyone there (beautiful beach bunnies down to aging sailors) just wants to have a good time. The convention center and Hyatt are right there, so you'll often run into interesting people from all over the place. It gets crowded, but the atmosphere is such that usually bumping into people just makes for more interesting conversation. The music's loud enough to dance to (no one looks cool dancing to Irish music, but here, no one cares!), but not so loud that you can't carry a conversation with that cute girl from Texas who's in town for a teacher's convention or that group of soldiers just back from the war. I love this bar.
Pros: Excellent atmosphere, great live music, efficient service, and an eclectic crowd.
Cons: Not cheap, especially since you usually have to pay for parking at the Pike's lot. LONG wait for restrooms on busy nights.

We showed up on a monday night and couldn't believe how great the band in the corner was. They play Mandolin and Acoustic guitar and sang everysong we love! It was nice because it wasn't too loud and meant we stayed longer! to the Hempstring Duo-Rock on.
These guys are there every monday night!
Pros: Live music late
Cons: We drank too much

I love The Dubliner! It is my favorite place to go in Long Beach. All the staff and customers are so friendly. It's the kind of place you can go to by yourself, and leave at the end of the night with many new friends. And the food happens to be delicious as well! On certain nights the place gets quite busy, but you can always find a cozy corner to hang out away from the crowd, or join the locals outside.
In response to a review below, I happen to be an African American female born and raised in Long Beach, and have always been welcomed by the staff and treated with the utmost respect. I find the story below very hard to believe and think that people should get their facts straight before making comments. The bartenders there are great and would never treat a customer unjustly.

i love the dub. i had my first drink here. it's on pine, but not on the main drag. it's really an irish pub. the bartender has an accent. i think his parents still live there. they serve food during the day, but i've never been in early enough to go. they have great beers on tap, including my favorites, newcastle and stella. their long beach iced teas are to die for. some thursdays, every friday and saturday they have a live band play. it's really fun and really loud. a good amount of regulars go there. check it out!
Pros: ambience is great, authenticity is good
Cons: there's no where to park unless you park in the pike's lot

I witnessed a unjustent with a bartender and a black customer where she was removed with lack of respect. The bartender took the side of the white girl in a matter which the white girl was wrong about spilling a drink on someone and not apologizing. Thew black girl seemed to just want am apology but instead was singled out immediately and ousted. It was very shocking to me in the city of Long Beach where i believe is very culturally diverse. If your a member of the KKK I'm sure you'll like the place. If your a person of color i wouldnt spend your money there.
