- Not a bad pub over all. They seem to be willing to do something a little different and attract an equivalent crowd. I went to what was supposed to be a screening of 'Stand by Me' which at the last minute was changed to 'Requiem for a Dream' which was a bit depressing but the free pop-corn cheered us up. The Guinness is generally good but once during the evening when i ordered one was pulled out pre-poured (the previous owner had left for a smoke) and looking a bit stale but after a bit of arguing i got my own pint poured for me. Also if they could do something about the smell escaping from the toilets it would make that side of the bar better.

- Pravda is one of the pubs i've visited in dublin. the decor is ok but the music policy is very good, very mixed but always good for a party. they have great live music on wednesdays and free movies on monday which helps me learn english. it's open until very late which is good as well.

- Pravda does not mean 'freedom' - it is Russion for 'truth'.

- Pravda is by far one of the best pubs in Dublin. If you tired of listening to the usual chart crap thats played everywhere else, then this is where to go. I don't think I ever had a bad night there on a Saturday night. Beer tends to be a bit of a mixed bag in there though, had to stop drinkin Bud, because it was bad the whole time, well I suppose Bud is bad anyway. Food is fine there, Chicken wings are the job. The place lacks a bit of atmosphere during the week but definately hit there at the weekend.

- Pravda, meaning the Russian for freedom, is a Soviet theme pub located on the northern side of the Liffey, just by the Ha'penny Bridge. Unlike the old-school Mother Russia, this bar offers a warm welcome and an enjoyable drinking location. Once through the doors there is an initial café style layout, which makes a grand spot for people watching on the nearby Liffey Street. Pressing on a bar extends alongside to your left, before you enter the main section of the bar. The upstairs is generally kept closed until things get busier. The Russian theme is carried through to the décor, with some iconic noble worker style murals gracing the walls and combined with the lack of natural light this can lead to a rather distinctive atmosphere. While it can be quiet on weeknights, the place tends to get lively and exuberant over the weekend, letting its hair down and partying quite hard There is food served during the day, but in my opinion it is nothing special and seems a little out of place. While not one of my own personal favourites, Pravda does have its charms and is certainly worth a visit. At the very least it is good to see a Russian-themed pub in Ireland, as we have no doubt exported many an Irish-themed pub to Russia.

- Pravda is cool if you don't want to talk to the person next to you because the music is so loud after 9 that socializing is off limits unless u shout at the other's person ear!
Cool layout, un irish design definitely a must in Dublin but avoid if you are looking a chatty long drinking nite and 1st time date! Good pick up place for young and tourists!

- Pravda is a pretty good pub. Interesting decor, good athmosphere and bar staff. At the weekends their DJ plays some pretty good music, but like every other city centre pub, once it gets to 10pm, the music gets jacked up and you can hear nowt. One tip: Beside the downstairs toilets, there are two sets of seats. If you sit here you may not go deaf.

- While large it still has a unique atmosphere. As it is newish, it is also finding its feet in terms of the crowd it gets, but it has certainly brought more people across the River Liffey. A very unusual pub in terms of design and layout. Very, very un-Irish. But definitely worth a visit or two.

- An excruciating exercise in pretension. Old Russian newspapers on the walls do not a theme bar make, and trinity students shrieking into mobiles whilst being charged the earth for terrible drink does not make for an enjoyable night. Can anybody remind me what was so good about the soviet system that Irish people want a part of it, misbegotten though it may be?

- I have to agree that pravda isnt the best place for a night out, seems to be really popular with students from over seas. But I have to say the food is well worth the visit...spicy chickens wings are amazing...(I dream about them!!) and the burger is great too...food is a little pricey..but where in the city isnt!! yum!

- Good place to pick up Eastern European beer but every time I've gone here the rank stench of the downstairs toilet has been noticeable, even at the bar.
