Review: T.P. Smiths is situated on the corner of Abbey Street and Jervis Street on the north side of the Liffey and was formerly known as Keatings. From the outside it looks pretty much like a standard pub but inside it is a different story. The first thing you'll notice upon entering is the 'swirly' bronze staircase and the amount of space inside. The bar area covers three levels has an open plan roof at the top level which looks great. As a result, this pubs never seems to be packed even though it does have a steady stream of customers. The pints taste good and are keenly priced. The barstaff are friendly and offer excellent service. The music that plays in the background is an electic mix. T.P. Smiths is a great pub for a night out with friends and just for a quick pint any time of the week.
Public Reviews:
2. Located in a curious little nook of the city at the back of the Jervis centre, this is an unusual and pleasant pub. Despite, or maybe because of its slightly out-of-the-way location this is almost like a local, but set in the heart of the city. The pub has an upstairs-downstairs layout to it, with a shiny metallic circular staircase connecting them. This staircase is the main feature of the pub and is should be pointed out that more than one head has been smacked against this as a result of not ducking low enough. The bar also has an extensive and popular food menu, which is very tasty. With big screens for major sporting occasions as well as sporadic live music there is generally a dynamic atmosphere. Overall this is a nice pub for enjoyable socialising.
3. Smiths pub used to be the funnest place to drink in dublin but since its revamp, TP's atmosphere has been destroyed. Prices are constantly on the up, be it on the food or drinks. The quality of the food has dropped too since last year. It's all just dipped in the deep fat fryer. The live music is rubbish compared to the folk bands of old. The only redeeming factor of Smiths is the stunning bar girls, regulars from the area, and its free admission. It's a shame because Keatings was, at one stage, more fun than Disneyland.
