On behalf of my family, staff and I, let me welcome you to The Lark Inn. The Liberties is truly the best community in the whole of Ireland. If I can help you in any way, just call me and ask!

Meath Street is the beating heart of Dubin’s famous Liberties. Our Bar and Lounge are at the heart of the community. We are smack bang in the middle of the Golden Triangle of Whiskey distilling in Dublin City. 

We are a 5-minute walk from the World-Famous Guinness Storehouse! So if you are passing, drop in for a REAL LIBERTIES WELCOME when you visit.    Fáilte Roimh Saoirsí fíor.

About Us

an authentic liberties pub in the heart of old dublin

0ver 100 years of providing service to the Liberties people.

The first registered drinking establishment on this site dates back to 1911. The Lark Inn began in the 1970s when the Larkin Brothers took over the pub license. The pub was leased from the Larkin brothers in 2011 by John Byrne. In 2019, John and Noeleen purchased the lease outright. The Lark Inn is a traditional inner-city Dublin pub with a family-friendly atmosphere. Today the Lark Inn is known far and wide as one of the best traditional pubs in the city of Dublin, maintaining its strong connections to the old Liberties community to this day.

“As a good pub, as you will find in the city.Great value ..possibly best value.Staff friendly and efficient. Well worth the small detour. A real locals spot too. Food is an option but the Guinness at €5 a pint is top notch! Places 500 metres away charging way more. ”
