About this place Pantibar

Pantibar is a gay bar on Capel Street, owned by Rory O'Neill, better known as the drag queen Panti Bliss. O'Neill became a national figure in 2014 after a television row over homophobia. His Noble Call speech at the Abbey Theatre that year became a rallying point in the run-up to the 2015 marriage equality referendum. The bar has drag shows, quiz nights and other events, and draws a mixed LGBTQ+ crowd. It opens at 16:00 on weekdays and 14:00 at weekends, until 01:30 or 02:30. Expect it to be packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Capel Street now has several other queer bars and cafés within a few minutes' walk.

I had a fantastic time at this gay bar! The atmosphere was great, but what really made my visit special was the amazing service from Leo, the bartender. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. Leo definitely knows how to make guests feel welcome and enjoy their night. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended! 🏳️‍🌈🍸✨

Murilo is a fantastic. An expert at recommending beer we should try. Very busy keeping the bar clean but kept our drinks full the entire time. He is a great asset for the bar. Outstanding service!
