• Gastro pub • Dame Street

Booked 4 times today

The Bleeding Horse is a historically significant public house located in Upper Camden Street, Dublin, Ireland. It dates at least back to the 17th century, and was located on St. Kevin’s Port (now Camden St.) at the junction of two important highways leading out of the city.On one side was Charlotte St., leading to Ranelagh and Donnybrook; on the other side was Old Camden St., which joined Richmond St. and led to Rathmines and Cullenswood. Both of these old streets disappeared during the renovations in the 1990s. The present building dates from 1871; the interior was renovated in 1992.There are (at least) two explanations for the name. One is that when a horse got the “staggers” it was bled by a farrier at the inn. Another is that the name of the pub comes from an incident during the Battle of Rathmines in 1649, when a wounded horse fled from the battle.

Wow what can I say, the food at the black forge was the best food me and my wife has ever had. The staff was so friendly and very helpful and a joy to be around. They even let me and my wife have a picture with Conor’s ufc belt. We will definitely be going back again.

My wife and I booked this venue online, and our table was in a little snug, very cosy. The staff were all friendly and attentive. The food was very good, I had the fish chowder, and my wife had the soup as starters. The mains were Shepards pie, and I had a duck special dish oth were very tasty. Highly recommended
