Historic Pub Accommodation

McGettigan's Townhouse offers 11 rooms on Queen Street, each named after family members. Rooms range from 7.5 sqm to 15.5 sqm, featuring double beds (except The Oliver with a 4ft bed), ensuite showers, wooden paneling, and exposed brick details. All rooms include 32-inch TVs, keyless entry, refrigerators, Bluetooth mirrors, complimentary Guinness and sparkling water, robes with slippers, Prija toiletries, and free calls to Ireland, UK, and US numbers.

Traditional Irish Pub

The property features McGettigan's Pub, operating since 1776, with a large open-hearth fire and gold-gilted ceiling. It serves classic draught beers, craft IPAs, premium spirits, non-alcoholic options, cocktails, and one of Dublin's largest whiskey selections. The pub has hosted notable figures including Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Central Dublin Location

Situated on Queen Street between Heuston and Connolly stations, the townhouse is at the Smithfield Luas tram stop (Red Line). It's a 5-minute walk to Henry Street shopping, 0.3 km from Jameson Distillery Bow St, and across the Liffey from Guinness Storehouse. The area includes Capel Street with multicultural shops, Asian supermarkets, and traditional pubs like Jack Nealon's (open since 1905) and J McNeill's for live trad music.

Guests can visit Jameson Distillery for whiskey tastings, Guinness Storehouse with its rooftop Gravity Bar, and Dublin Zoo (2 km away) with 400 animals. River Liffey tours depart from Bachelor's Walk on the 'Spirit of Docklands' boat for 45-minute historical cruises. Shopping options include Grafton Street (Brown Thomas, Kilkenny Shop), Henry Street (Arnotts, Pennys/Primark), Jervis Shopping Centre with JD Sports and New Look, and Powerscourt Centre for artisan boutiques.
