O’Casey’s

I have been here quite a few times so far during my current exchange semester. I haven’t tried any meals yet but I probably will sooner or later.
4 stars because: Atmosphere is really good, design authentic for an Irish pub. The beer they use to tap tastes smooth. However, the price for a large one (€ 5,20) appears to be normal in the Netherlands.
Highly recommendable for sports fans as they show football (top European leagues, Uefa CL and EL,…), Rugby, NFL,… Able to show 10 different games at the same time.
5 stars only after having dinner

Fun atmosphere. we celebrated our first nigh n Europe here and even go to take in a soccer (football) game in the bar. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. The patrons were mostly foreigners, not many Dutch.

A bit crowded and noisy. Found a spot @ the bar. Ordered Irish Stew — didn’t wait long for food & it was good. Plenty of tele’s to watch sports.

The best Irish pub in town.
Filled up with mostly expats, a few locals enter once in a while…
As usual Guinness and other typical beers, a few good alcohols and whiskys.
The pub food is not bad, and if you’re starving they have a superburger with everything you can imagine on it. it will probably feed you for a whole day or 2.
The atmosphere is great all day long, relaxed during the day, and typical drunken pub in the evening with big smiles, sometimes live music, pubquizz,…
My highlight is the garden on a summer day, with a book and a pint.

Great expat bar (although I’m American) especially if you’re looking to watch some football or rugby. I actually come during the day on weekends when there’s a good crowd watching sports and the upstairs is fairly quiet enough for me to study and have an Irish breakfast. Plus, they have free wifi. Other positives: backyard patio for when the weather’s nice, second bar upstairs, pool table upstairs, and good Irish food for a decent price.

Typical Irish pub, but drinks are more expensive than other places. A drink starts at 5 euros which is 2.50 in other places. Haven’t tried the food but I’m told it’s ok. As for the crowd, usually 30 and 40 somethings frequent. The backyard terrace is nice when the weather is good.

A very typical Irish pub in the centre of the Hague. Quite expensive in comparison to the dutch pubs but does offer pint size glasses. Nice garden at the back if the weather permits. Sometimes has live bands.

Nice Irish Pub

Den Haag is the seat of government, but not the capital of the Netherlands, a role set aside by the Dutch constitution for Amsterdam. However, Queen Beatrix is here, as are all foreign embassies and various government ministries (including the Supreme Court and Council of State). The Hague is also the de facto judicial capital of the United Nations.
The practical upshot for this occasional American visitor is that English is widely spoken, you run into interesting people (like the Chilean diplomats who were ahead of me in line at a local stationary store), and it’s possible to find a good Irish pub (in addition to other International choices).
O’Casey’s is actually located next to a Pizza Hut, but you’re better coming in here for a wee pint and some surprisingly good Fish and Chips. This place is also authentic right right down to the dark woods, work mates carrying on, a good Irish brogue from Pub staff, a dart board area, and the crowds that were recently watching the Real Madrid/​Barcelona Soccer Match. The only thing missing was some live music at the time I was there. Best of all for me was a chance to just relax and kick back with an adult beverage after 2 full days of intense meetings. Plus it was cold outside, and there’s nothing better to warm you up than a Guinness.
