Outdoor seating
Beloved Raheny local for excellent Guinness, friendly service, and spacious lounges with some live music; basic pub fare at fair prices and strong community feel.
The Cedar Lounge delivers reliable neighborhood pub experience with excellent service attentiveness and strong community loyalty, but modest food quality centered on straightforward pizzas and sandwiches prevents a higher grade. Pleasant setting appeal with spacious lounges and outdoor areas supports its role as a comfortable local hangout, though it lacks destination-level distinction. Solid execution within its pub category, ideal for regulars seeking reliable pints and easy conversation rather than culinary ambition.
This is a true Raheny local with multiple rooms, tidy lounges, and a warm, lived-in comfort that regulars prize. Staff are quick on the draw and attentive without fuss, the kind of place where a nod gets your next pint. One guest summed it up as warm and welcoming with a strong sense of community. The cooking sticks to straightforward pub fare—pizzas and solid sandwiches—supporting the headliners: pints poured with care and an easy-going rhythm. Expect classic pub staples over culinary fireworks, plus occasional live music that lifts the room without turning it into a concert hall. Ideal if you want reliable pints and space to chat rather than a destination dinner. Families should find it comfortable thanks to pizzas and simple sandwiches that many kids will eat, plenty of seating, and a relaxed crowd. There is no explicit kids menu noted, but the approachable menu and community vibe suit early-evening visits. Outdoor areas are popular in good weather.
