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.

The overall experience is brilliant, there was live music on which made it even better. The steak which you cook yourself is unbelievable. The staff are lovely particularly the blonde lady who I think was the manager, very welcoming and chatty. Would definitely recommend it!

Food was very tasty. Could do with making the childrens menu a little child friendly. Staff were super, very attentive. Only downfall is the music was way too loud. We were there for dinner and chats and for a Tuesday evening it was way to much.
