The Dublin Square Irish Pub was born in 2006 with the intention of bringing a small piece of Ireland to an area that already abounds with culture. The entire interior of the Pub, including the massive hand carved mahogany bar, was built in Dublin, then shipped and re-assembled in East Lansing by the same craftsmen that built her. At the Dublin Square Irish Pub, we celebrate the Craic... the essence and spirit of intimate surroundings... a place with no worries, great food, great drinks and conversation with close friends. Game Room and casual Pub compliment the non-smoking restaurant. Catering, banquet space available. This establishment welcomes athletes, families and officials.

The menu is simple, consisting only of 4 choices of hot chicken tenders, sliders or both. Tenders are served on white bread, while sliders are served on buns with pickles, house-made "kale slaw" and a chipotle mayo sauce known as Dave's Sauce. Customers are offered the choice of 7 different spice levels for their chicken, ranging from "no spice" to "reaper" (which requires the customer to sign a waiver). Sides include french fries, cheese fries, mac & cheese and "kale slaw." Dave's also offers vanilla, chocolate and strawberry milkshakes. All Dave's Hot Chicken locations are certified halal.
