Situated across the road from the world famous Abbey Theatre, The Flowing Tide has long been associated with many of Irelands finest artistic talents, legends such as Gabriel Byrne, Siobhan McKenna and Cyril Cusack have been known to drop by after a show. In addition, the Flowing Tide was the main source of refuge following the riots that accompanied the showing of Synge’s “Playboy of the Western World” in 1907! Over the years, The Flowing Tide has developed into one of those increasingly rare establishments where the character of ‘Auld Dublin’ is engrained into the soul of the premises. Authentic olde world décor, including a rare classic stone cut external façade, stained glass windows and frieze over the bar depicting the Greek masks of comedy and tragedy, give the Flowing Tide an ambience that is hard to match.
