Quiet bars for conversation in Dublin

40 venues, ranked on what OpenStreetMap actually records about each one.

How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone wants a bar where they can actually hear each other talk. OSM records no noise level, so ranking uses proxies: outdoor seating, absence of live music, smoking policy. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of bar-type venues in Dublin. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Dublin bars are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 394 bars in Dublin that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 11 have Wi-Fi recorded and 29 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Dublin bars have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Kennedy's, WXYZ Cocktails, The Silver Penny, The Porterhouse and Panti Bar all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these bars stay open late?

The Lombard, Jimmy Rabbitte’s, Kennedy's, WXYZ Cocktails and The Cobblestone are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these bars are step-free?

Jimmy Rabbitte’s, Kennedy's, The Cobblestone, The Silver Penny and The Porterhouse are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - bar rather than a pub floor, outdoor seating - a quieter option, no live music, non-smoking indoors, opening hours published - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
