In a city where the average pint alone can set you back close to €7, finding a proper meal and a drink for under a tenner feels like striking gold. Yet a handful of Dublin pubs are still keeping the tradition of affordable pub grub alive — serving toasties, wings, or even a bowl of stew alongside a pint for €10 or less. From The Liberties to Dame Court, these spots prove that a satisfying lunch or early evening pint doesn’t have to break the bank.
Swift Irish Bar — Pint of Guinness + Toastie for €10
- Deal: A pint of Guinness and a toasted sandwich (“toastie”) for €10.
- Address: 131 Thomas St, The Liberties, Dublin 8, D08 P8H3 | Instagram
- Notes: A strong lunch-special pick in The Liberties area with a real “deal for a tenner” vibe.
- Tip: Best to visit around lunch/early afternoon to ensure the deal is still running and you get a seat.
J.T. Pim’s — Chicken Wings + Pint for €10
- Deal: A portion of chicken wings (or sometimes chilli-cheese nachos) plus a pint for €10, typically on weekdays (Mon-Fri) from around 12 pm-6 pm.
- Address: 4 South Great George’s St, Dublin 2, D02 NR59 | Website
- Notes: This is a bit more of a “bar meal” setting with something slightly more substantial (wings) plus a drink — good value for a midday/early-evening stop.
- Tip: Confirm the time window before you go, as the deal may be time-limited and food selection may vary.
Disndat — Toastie + Crisps + Pint for €10
- Deal: A toastie + bag of crisps + a pint for €10, available Mon–Sun until 5 pm.
- Address: 3 Dame Court, Dublin 2 – Website
- Notes: Very convenient central spot, good value if you’re after something quick and informal in the city.
- Tip: Arrive before 5pm to guarantee the deal, and check which toasties are included (some premium options may cost more).
The Liberty Belle — Pint + Toastie for €8
- Deal: A pint of Guinness plus a toasted sandwich for €8 — excellent value.
- Address: 33 Francis St, The Liberties, Dublin 8, D08 A9T3 | Website
- Notes: Possibly the best-value of the lot. A genuine neighbourhood pub with a good vibe and the deal for less than a tenner.
- Tip: Since the price is so good, it may get more crowded midday – early arrival helps.
Why these deals are worth it
- In Dublin city-centre pubs, food + drink combos under €10 are increasingly rare given cost pressures. These stand out as genuine value.
- Each deal simplifies things: one price, drink + food, minimal fuss.
- They cover different parts of the city (Dublin 2 and Dublin 8) so good options depending on where you are.
Some caveats to check
- Always double-check the time window: some deals only apply before a certain hour (e.g., until 5pm) and may not apply all days.
- Confirm which pint brand is included (often Guinness or a house draught) and which food choices qualify.
- Deals can change — menus, pricing, or eligibility may shift. It’s wise to ask at the bar on arrival.
