Dolan's Pub and Restaurant was established in 1878, but obviously many things have changed since then. The electric light bulb was indeed a wonderful invention! Indeed the entire docklands area of Limerick has seen major changes, especially in the last few years. The once famous landmark of Ranks flour mills, which served as a welcoming sight for many a weary sailor has almost vanished. Only one of the original towering entities remains. It was so sturdy in it's construction that the company charged with it's demolition went belly-up trying to knock it! Fortunately the nearby Dolan's was unharmed
Dolans pub is now a bustling emporium of fine food and drink, with a hearty helping of traditional Irish music every night. Thanks to a rare concession known as a 'dock licence', Dolans is one of the first pubs to open in Limerick each morning. If you're the early riser type, or coming in from a long day on the night shift you can get a 'full Irish breakfast' from 8:00 am for the miserly sum of 6.95, and have a fresh creamy pint to wash it down "for a few dollars more"!
Every night in Dolan's you can hear the finest local and visiting traditional musicians playing in an informal setting in the bar. Many well known Irish and international 'heads' make a point of including Dolan's Pub in their itinerary for the un-equalled atmosphere. The action starts around 9:00pm nightly. C'mon in for a pint, you'd never know who might be there.....
For those that love dancing there are set-dancing classes during the winter months on Tuesday nights at 8:00pm
Everyone's welcome, young or old, beginners to experts!
Just in case you think Dolan's is all 'old-timey', we'd like it to be known that we welcome all types. Dolan's has become one of the hot-spots in Limerick for corporate parties, birthdays, engagements, bahmitzvahs, divorces and re-engagements, and you can book some tables in the pub, or go all-out and book our Upstairs Venue or Al's Beer Garden for your private 'VIP' party
Give us a call at 061-314483, or email grainne@dolans.ie and we'd be delighted to help plan your special event, small, medium or large!

Sixteen Layers, a dynamic alternative rock band from Dublin, will tread the boards for Green and Live Sessions 15 on Thursday June 25 at Upstairs in Dolan's to promote their debut album 'I Am No One' — described by Hot Press as "a sonic tour de force". In fact, one German critic went as far as saying that Sixteen Layers were "the bastard of Lizzy and U2". Also on the bill is Cork band Silo and Ennis punk rockers The Buzzmonkeys. Doors open at 8pm and admission is FREE so get your arses down to support some great new Irish bands. Respect!
