The pub has been known to be frequented by politicians and media figures owing to its proximity to the Dáil and Government buildings.[9]

Toner's is situated on Lower Baggot Street in close proximity to other notable pubs and eateries including Doheny & Nesbitt and the Merrion Hotel/Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud.

The Quinn family own the pub along with nearby pubs the Waterloo, the 51 bar on Haddington Road and the Lansdowne Hotel.[10]

The pub was used as a filming location, by Sergio Leone, for the bar-related flashback scenes in Duck, You Sucker!.
