Unlike its stablemate hotel in Kilmainham, there is no sign stating that the bar is Residents Only here at the "Hilton Dublin" as it is simply branded. The Charlemont Bar & Bistro has signage outside and they have always advertised the bar to outsiders, including when it was called the Third Stop - a now dated reference to the Luas stop outside, which is no longer third from the end of the line.
The bar is quite nice by hotel bar standards, and is unlikely to ever be as busy as the nearby S0202 The Barge. Other than The Barge, there is somewhat of a pub desert around here, so this is worth remembering as an option.
Originally built as a Stakis hotel, I *think* this was the first Hilton in Ireland; but I'm not entirely certain of that.
