Built in 1696 – yes, you read that right, 1696 – the Norseman is one of Dublin’s oldest pubs. Formerly known as Farrington’s, this pub has seen more history than most of us will ever read.

Changing its name to a more Viking-sounding one, it manages to blend old-world charm with a modern touch, without losing an ounce of its identity. With its stone walls and weathered wooden counter, every nook and cranny seems to whisper anecdotes of yesteryear.

If you’re the type to enjoy a pint of Guinness or an Irish whiskey, you’ve come to the right place. The Norseman offers an exceptional selection of beers and spirits that would make any connoisseur green with envy.

But that’s not all: the pub is also famous for its cuisine. From crispy fish and chips to juicy burgers, Irish stew and onion rings, there’s something for everyone. And for music fans, live sessions brighten up evenings with traditional Irish music.
