General Details - Description - History - Food - Getting There
Established in 1754, The Long Stone pub is a family owned and run pub situated in Dublin City Centre, just minutes from the popular Temple Bar area. We pride ourselves on the excellent customer service we provide and our warm, friendly relaxed atmosphere. We attract a mixed age group from all walks of life.
Our theme is mainly Celtic with a real Irish and Viking atmosphere. Our Pièce de Résistance is our unique fireplace, a massive sculpture of Balder the Viking God of Light and Warmth.
We stock a wide range of beers and spirits. From Wednesday to Saturday, we have a late bar
serving until 2.30am.
The renowned family run public house in Dublin, Ireland known as The Long Stone derives its name from the fascinating history of the surrounding area.
Over a thousand years ago, in 837 AD Norsemen who had blazed a trail across the seas from Scandinavia landed at the mouth of the river we now know as the Liffey.
As some of the first residents in the region, they erected a tall stone pillar in the sea, as was their custom to symbolise their possession of the surrounding lands and a new area of settlement.
This long stone or 'steyne' in turn gave it's name to one of the many small rivers that were tributaries to the Liffey and in turn to the surrounding sandy plains that bordered the sea.
Land reclaimation has since changed this area of the south inner city beyond recognition. The programme that was started by Alderman Hawkins in 1663 was to change the face of modern Dublin as the boundries of the sea were extended to Ringsend.
During all this excavation, the steyne stood until 1794. A modern day representation now stands at the front of Pearse Street Garda Station, a few hundred yards away.
A Bar food menu is widely available, late in the evening
as well as weekends.
This pub is serviced by all city centre bus routes.
It is also close to Tara Street Dart station.
