Our Story and Irish Roots
Dublin Square Irish Pub & Restaurant brings the spirit of a classic Irish public house to East Lansing with hearty food, friendly faces, and a lively atmosphere. Our menu blends Irish and American pub fare — from appetizers and sandwiches to Irish pizzas, burgers, salads, pastas, and entrées — paired with draft beer and cocktails that fit every occasion.
We proudly serve the East Lansing community near Michigan State University, welcoming students, young professionals, families, and alumni for everyday meals, game-day gatherings, and nights out. Our space features live bands and DJs on select nights, sports viewing throughout the week, and a large outdoor patio anchored by a cozy fireplace. Whether you are here for a pre-game bite, a late-night session, or a relaxed weekend lunch, we aim to make every visit feel like a familiar neighborhood ritual.
What Craic Means Here
Craic is our shorthand for the lively Irish pub atmosphere people love — the buzz of conversation, the comfort of great food and drink, and the shared moments that keep friends coming back. At Dublin Square, Craic comes to life through:
- Live entertainment including bands and DJs on select nights
- Big-game energy for sports viewing in a relaxed setting
- A welcoming mix of locals, MSU students, employees, alumni, and families
- Relaxing on our seasonal patio by the fireplace when the Michigan weather cooperates
