This relatively new Irish pub and grub has won a lot of fans since opening. Seems Vilnius was just screaming out for the ubiquity of an Irish establishment in the Old Town. Well hang on, this place isn't exactly typical. Opening post smoking ban, it missed the virtue of years of nicotine darkening the walls and spilled beers staining the floorboards. Contrary to your father's Irish pub, the Dubliner is bright and spacious, pastel and palatable. The food is good and the daily special is a value at 12 litas. As such it stays crammed full of middle-aged foreigners, tourists and businessmen non-stop. Not the place to meet the locals or party late-night, this pub is a comfort many find necessary, though the classiness sometimes borders on snootiness - terribly un-Irish, if you ask us.
