Reviews of The Liffey

Been here many times, most of my reviews are on pubs. Must be in the Irish DNA.

I work in the Old Town and this is hands down my favorite place to grab a beer after work. The halloumi burger is great, just be warned that their standard "Liffey sauce" is a bit spicy. If you love music and great atmosphere, this place is great – however, if you're not a fan of troubadours you should probably go elsewhere, as there is live music almost every night.

Great live music and fun pub quizzes as well when the cute Aussie guy with glasses is doing them. Plenty of room downstairs as well if you're in larger groups. AND the best place to watch the rugby!

I realize, when I write another review about an Irish pub I think is OK but no more, that I miss when Limerick (on Tegnérgatan) and The Dubliner (at Norrmalmstorg) competed for the title of (first) best Irish pub in Stockholm.

The premises were a bit nicer, the music a little better, the food a little tasrier, the Guinness a little more well-drawn than any Irish today.

The Liffey is totally OK. Nice local, good Guinness, totally OK food but still I stand there with a *meh* and am not completely excited.

There's nothing wrong with The Liffey, we just don't click.

One of the most pleasant pubs in the old town. They make every effort to have a welcoming environment.
As many of the places in this area feel touristy, I still do not think this place makes them the same way.
are very mixed with people, different ages and interests. Some are here for a whole evening and some are turning in here for a quick drink. Friendly and helpful staff.
Definitely a place you can turn into if you walk through the old town!
Have ways that they have, among other things, live bands sometimes, but is nothing I've gone on. But you can get more than evening a just "a beer in a pub".
Cozy in the summer when they also have some table outside that you can sit at. But for my part, I prefer the old town and pubs in the winter. When you can stroll through the snow-laid streets and tuck in and warm up in a cozy and pleasant pub and get a beer in your hand, before you go further along the streets. And then this is a great place for those!

The Liffey can be really wonderful when there's live music. Nice staff.

Fun place with great Irish live music, not only Wild Rover and other pubvisor but a lot of U2 as well. Most of the pubs in the old town are teeming with tourists.

Dear The Liffey,

I had very good experiences, good food, drinks and entertainment with you.
I am sorry you have degraded yourself to the level of bad pubs in Sthlm.
You throw out normal people having a beer, not drunker than anyone else, without any explanation. Just because you think you have the right to do so. Someone in your staff clearly have problems. Help that person with a therapist, don't let hen destroy your reputation.
That is not decent and it is sad. I will never visit you again, even through I was not the person who was rejected in the middle of a beer.
Shame on you.
Please change. I want the old friendly Liffey back, a place to go with Irish and Swedish and from whatever country friends.

Väldigt otrevlig personal, utan någon anledning när vi skulle gå in fick vakten något mindervärdeskomplex och bestämmde sig för att inte släppa in oss. Jag rekommenderar att ni anställer folk som vet vad de gör.

I objected after receiving the 200 gr steak I ordered, because a generous guess would be that it was half of that. I've had my fair share of dodgy restaurateurs, but I have never before (and probably will never again) see such shameless audacity. I have also had my fair share of steaks, and that quantity does not ever look lika a matchbox and a half. My server let me know that this is a regular occurence, and that a lot of customers complain. Sometimes he himself would object before serving customers, because the practice was fucking with his tips: "nobody is going to bloody believe this is according to what it says in the menu!"
