Formerly partially owned by the Fun Lovin' Criminals, this was one of the few 'alternative' bars in Dublin when it opened in its current guise back in 2001.
There has been a pub on the site for significantly longer than that, though - 1770 apparently. The building is a decent example of a older pub building, even if the front corner is a rebuild after a 2007 incident involving a Luas and a bin lorry.
The current operators were formerly involved in the Dublin Brewing Company, one of the first generation of craft breweries in Ireland which unfortunately closed down in 2003. They are still involved in brewing, which means that there are some beers only available in the Dice Bar - had I known this in advance I would have ensured to try these. A return trip must be in order at some point.
