The 50 best bars and drinks in Dublin

Love this place. A little hidden gem. Cocktails are boozy and delicious. Staff are so helpful and give great recommendations. I’ve been 4 times over the years and not once had a bad experience. Looking forward to my next visit.

Great experience. Service was out of this world. Cocktails came so quick we were wondering how they did it. Extensive cocktail offering and I threw them a curve ball to create something different which they easily did and was amazing. These guys know what they’re doing! Loved it!

Yes a speakeasy, hidden in plain sight. But the crowd in front gives it away. Multiple floors with intimate seating, very narrow spaces and dim candlelight lighting. The broccoli was disastrous. The cocktails recommended based on my palate, not good. Had the Rosy&Jim and then the Condor&Curly. They say a cocktail bar with a large menu is nothing special. VCC didn’t serve.

A delightful bar secreted behind a scruffy door in the middle row of a busy street adds an air of illicit speakeasy to the whole experience. Ring the doorbell and - so long as you have a reservation - you will be admitted to a dark hallway then upstairs to a large candlelit room decorated in 1920/30s period pieces and individual tables. The service is attentive and very pleasant. An extensive menu of classic cocktails and house variations is laid out chronologically by period. The drinks are well mixed and potent using only the very best ingredients. They also have a menu of snacks and larger dishes. I can thoroughly recommend the Sidecar - superbly lemony and packs a punch. Highly recommend a visit to this wonderful piece of atmospheric cocktail longe-lizard life.

A real secret in the Temple Bar area. Ring a nondescript doorbell and be admitted to an old-style speakeasy. Extensive cocktail menu covering the classics and own inventions. Had two Manhattans which were gorgeous. Lovely service from the friendly hostesses as well. They offer small plates and cocktail making classes as well. You need to book a table - a couple tried to sneak in the door after we were admitted but were pleasingly told to wait by the hostess - some cheek on people lol!

I was so impressed with this place I’m writing the review while I’m still at the table. The drinks are so good. And the service is next level good. Do yourself a favor and make reservations. We’ll for sure be back on our next trip to Dublin. I’m attaching a picture of the door just to reinforce it is the nondescript black door.

Absolutely a must find experience in the heart of Dublin. A nondescript door and doorbell on a busy side street, leads to a gorgeous multilevel, 1930s style speakeasy. The rooms are adorned with velvet furnishings and beautiful art nouveau decor while jazz quietly plays in the background. The menu offers a variety of classic and unique cocktail creations, accompanied by the history of different liquors through the decades. The charcuterie and cheese board was one of the best we’ve ever had. There are cozy nooks and tables on every floor, but we sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the very talented mixologist whipping up his concoctions. While they do not require a reservation, making one ensures you have a time slot, they don’t guarantee that they’ll have a spot if you just ring the bell. Also, this is a strictly 23 years old and older experience. In summary, the drinks were delicious, the food was fantastic, the mixologist was knowledgeable and friendly and the unique entry experience and ambience was so beautiful. It was perfection, from beginning to end!

Came to Sophie’s on a whim, around 2200 with a reservation. Delighted we came here as most kitchens were closed at this time. The ambiance was modern and chic. Situated on the top floor overlooking part of the city on hotel grounds. Such a nice, distinctive way to spend one of the last nights in Dublin. Food was extremely good and service was attentive and friendly. Menu was varied enough for 3 different palates. I had the grilled sea bass which I really enjoyed, the seafood linguine was also very good. Did not disappoint!

Made a reservation to host my sister-in-law's bridal shower brunch here and it was amazing! The cocktails were creative, fresh, and divine. The food was fabulous. All ages attending had food/drinks they enjoyed and the bride-to-be had an amazing time. Service was awesome & the views were stunning. Definitely recommend Sophie's for special occasions or date night!

Sophie’s Rooftop Bar – A Top-Class Experience Had an excellent evening at Sophie’s Rooftop Bar. We kicked things off with the duck croquettes and the gnocchi starter – both were outstanding. The croquettes were crispy, flavourful, and paired with a delicious dipping sauce, while the gnocchi was absolutely immense – bursting with flavour and perfectly cooked. Portions were just right for starters. The ribeye for mains was nothing short of spectacular. Cooked to perfection, beautifully seasoned, and served just the way a good steak should be. Every bite was a treat. The ambiance on the rooftop was cool and relaxed, with great views and a laid-back, stylish vibe. Perfect for an evening out. Special shoutout to the service – our waiter was incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. Really appreciated the warm and attentive approach. Highly recommend Sophie’s for anyone after top-notch food, a great setting, and genuinely good service.

I really wanted to like Sophie's as it was meant to be our Dublin “splurge” dinner, but both dishes were a letdown. My seafood pasta (€29) tasted like something I could make at home with jarred sauce. The “seafood linguine” was actually spaghetti, and while the mussels, shrimp, and clams were fine, the dish itself had no real flavor or depth. No Parmesan, no bread—just flat. My friend’s gnocchetti was equally underwhelming. The room was quite noisy, and we were so disappointed by our main courses that we didn’t even want to stay for dessert. The view was nice, and our server was polite but seemed a bit confused. Overall, it felt more like a trendy first-date spot for twenty- and thirty-somethings than a genuine dining experience. We left disappointed and wouldn’t come back or recommend it.

Amazing place to spend a celebration. Brilliant service, amazing view, tasty food and great wine. Shout out to our server who I think was called Jeremy (could be wrong). He couldn't do more for us, even putting a candle in my brothers sticky toffee pudding. Communication prior was disjointed, only finding out on arrival that due to this being dealt with by a third party, the restaurant managers had no idea of our previous correspondence. Not a cheap place but definitely worth it if you have an anniversary, birthday or other occasion.

Amazing ambience and service. Really loved the cocktails and coffee with a beautiful sky view. Ordered pizza for dinner and it was perfect. Really recommend to go there for experiencing a fabulous rooftop restaurant bar in the center of Dublin.

I’ve been here for birthday dinners throughout the years but never really enjoyed the food. This time was different. We really enjoyed our mains: the fish and the ravioli. Cocktails are decent… the atmosphere and views just make everything 10 times better. Service is excellent. I will be coming back for sunset drinks and pizza!

Myself and two other friends had my birthday dinner there and one of my friend was running late. We felt a little bit rushed from the staff as if they want us to finish our dinner as soon as we can and just leave. One gentleman who was holding the iPad moved some tables around and said to us that we don’t have to rush anymore because they see that one of our friends still hasn’t arrived so we’re okay. So thank you to him for that. The mocktails wasn’t that bad but when it comes to the food wise , the pricing does not match the food portion. I ordered a 10oz steak WHICH COST €46???? it includes chip if you wanted chips on the side which would’ve been €6.50 alone for itself ??????? The steak wasn’t even that big as well…… the chips itself it’s called “ beef drip chips “ sounds fancy right ???? It’s basically just a small portion of chips and they were even dry too…. On the menu it said there will be service charge for table of 6 or more. It was only three of us girls and there was a service charge on our bill ???????? Overall the interior of the restaurant is nice but the pricing and staff wise is not the very best. The only thing they were good was that they were very attentive but attitude was not the very best in some way. Don’t think I’m gonna come back again to be honest

Stopped by for an early evening dinner with colleagues 😋. The location of the restaurant is in the busy and bustling Dublin city centre. The ambient in the restaurant great. Food and service was amazing. A good spot for food and drinks solo, or with a group or family.

The samosas were a great start, perfectly crunchy on the outside with a flavorful filling that paired really well with the dipping sauce. The pizzas were decent, though a bit underwhelming for the price, simple in toppings and execution. The standout for me was the calzone: generously filled, especially at the center, and absolutely delicious. The combination of duck, caramelized onion, and goat cheese was rich, savory, and well-balanced.

Stopped by the roof top patio for beverages. Loved the setting. Very quiet when we visited midday on a weekday. Perfect fit for us. Server did well given it was their first day.

The attention to detail makes this restaurant worthy to try. The wait staff, including Amit, was very attentive even during a much busy evening. Each course was plated as a work of art.

The place is very nice, there's even a small rooftop that's not very well equipped (when it rains, people get wet, and I've seen people open their umbrellas). Extremely kind and attentive service. The pizza is average, tasty, perhaps a little expensive.

Sunday Roast food exceeded our expectations! Everything was so tasty, came to the table hot and stayed hot! Highly recommend

We went on a Friday and it was very busy. We found seating and the waitress came right over and got our order. We ordered the steak. Drinks and food came out quickly. Service was great. Food was very good. The Guinness was outstanding

The tapas are amazing here so flavorful and unique. The cocktails are top-notch. Nothing was left on the plates. The tostada I got was literally one of the best things i have had the pleasure of tasting.

Recently celebrated my 30th birthday here. It’s a great venue, the staff were amazing and really looked after us all. There’s a great selection of drinks and the food is fantastic and presented lovely. Really can’t thank the staff enough for looking after us all. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back

All round 5 stars! Enjoyed every minute there and the perfect spot for any celebration or just a good time

Atmosphere and decor was lovely as soon as we came in. We were greeted by Neasa and she was absolutely wonderful throughout! Food was also really nice. Overall a great experience 👌

Guilherme was so friendly and professional, it made our experience amazing and very enjoyable! :) he was so helpful and accommodating, and so quick to provide us with drinks and food options. Thank you so much for everything! We'll be back for you alone!

Our go-to pub in Ranelagh. Pretty interior. Cozy atmosphere. Ample seating. Great stuff. They have outdoor seating in the terrace. Good for summer time. Indoor seating is available in both ground and first floor. Tapas food available. We love the nachos there. Also a bookshelf available behind the couches and you can always grab a book if you would like. Gets pretty crowded during busy days. Great place to hang out.

What a fantastic find! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere with a beautiful view. The food was outstanding – the T-bone steak was cooked to perfection and was absolutely amazing, and the kids were thrilled with their pizza. A huge thank you to our host, Vini, who was so welcoming and kind. He made our family's double birthday celebration feel incredibly special. Highly recommended!

The service, setting and atmosphere were great. The food was disappointing, especially considering the price. Its not cheap and of the 5 of us that ate brunch - None of us were particularly blown away by the food. The presentation of the food looked stunning and photographed very well..so perfect for posting on social. - Again, very friendly staff. It's a shame we probably won't be back for brunch though.

I came here for a family members birthday party so there was quite a lot of us. The view, amazing. I got the special of the day which was pasta with a creamy sort of sauce with bits of meat. It was quite good but a bit skimpy on the meat.

Had an amazing time at Layla’s Rooftop for my birthday. The service was amazing, our host for the night was Vini and he did a phenomenal job. He was extremely attentive and made our experience one to remember. The food was delicious and the views and vibes were great. It’s hard to keep a party of 15 happy at all times but he managed to do so with ease. Will definitely return.

I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli, which was absolutely amazing, perfectly balanced with the truffle and sage butter. There was a mix-up in the kitchen and they accidentally thought I had ordered steak, so my ravioli took a bit longer than the rest of the table’s meals. The staff were incredibly kind and took the ravioli off the bill without me even asking, thanks! 🫶🏻 For dessert, I had the limoncello pie, which was refreshingly tangy and just the right level of sweet, and paired it with a limonata cocktail that was delicious. Overall, the food was wonderful, but it was the attentive and generous service that made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant with views of Dublin rooftops. Has option of outdoor seating too. Nive pizza and pasta menus. Need to supply credit card when booking and there are T&Cs to be accepted re some minimum spends

We had a very positive experience on our first visit and will definitely be back. The food was excellent, super tasty, the pasta was fresh and made by an Italian chef. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. The service was exceptional, and I'd like to highlight Vinícius for his excellent service, friendliness, and menu recommendations. He made our experience at the restaurant even better. We absolutely recommend it.

Absolutely incredible night of comedy! Eddie was hilarious, had us in stitches from start to finish. Non-stop belly laughs, great energy, and top-notch acts all around. The whole night was a riot, funny, sharp, and brilliantly hosted. Can’t wait to come back for more laughs at The Craic Den!

The 7th Annual Rory Gallagher Dublin Tribute Night. Perfect night with my family, I enjoyed a lot

Not the top music venue in Dublin, but it's a cheap & cheerful spot to see new, local and up & coming artists. Pints still pricey but service is good and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere. The sound and lighting could be better (but is definitely passable) and it could be better kept but if that were the case they wouldn't be hosting the kind of great bands that play here for €15 or so... or a weekend mini-festival for €30.

The place is actually nice, bit small for concerts but has a unique atmosphere. Bar is quite small too but you will find your drink. The mood was great, concerts were awesome. Definitely would go back. We were at Sly5thAve.

One of the places provided by our tour guide during our visit at the Irish Rock and Roll Museum! We enjoyed our pint while listening to some great music playlist

Typical rock atmosphere in this known bar with different floors and possibility to dance. Nice for tourists to pay a visit. Mainly youngsters will enjoy and have fun here with their friends at condition that they like a big crowd and they do not mind the smoke and the noise.

I had such an amazing time here . Hayra was so nice and welcoming and attentive that I am definitely coming back just to have a small chat with her . The smoking area is really nice and all the staff was very pleasant. Thank you for the amazing hospitality skills and time yous all have given us

Good selection of cocktails however the ones we wanted were out of the homemade syrup so we had to try other cocktails on the menu. They were ok, nothing special. Atmosphere is really cool, great vibe and great service.

If I could, I would give zero starts. I was really surprised by this because its not my first time there and I wanted it to be nice and easy, just drinks with friends and family. I booked the reservation on time, sent an email as instructed (never got the confirmation but what can I do about it?) It was for my Birthday, the girl came and took the table as they said that its reserved. As was mine. It was important that its outside because we all smoke. He told my mom to get up and leave, extremely rude, harsh with words and it looked like he enjoyed it, sick. When I came staff member was TOO RUDE, said that it doesn't matter that I called, then booked via email, and that there is nothing he can do. I did everything that is required, overall my birthday was more complicated by this, I had to go get drinks by myself, they switched the drinks so many times and I said that its not my drink and they made me pay either way. nobody ever came to ask what would we like to drink, its usually a place that I like to visit and have my drinks. It was more than UNPLEASANT service. I didn't want to call the manager because I'm above it. Did it ruin my birthday? Yes it did. Will I go again? No I wont. Will I recommend the place? Absolutely not. I dont know why it's so hard to be a decent human being and see what u can do about the reservation because I did everything I was told to do. To be honest I regret not talking to the manager because I think that this behavior is unacceptable (i worked in service industry for years before and I have to say I've never seen anyone so rude and bad at their job with the smile on his face the whole time) Absolutely disrespectful. He of course didn't want to tell me his name, not surprised. Overall experience 2/10 If u want a drink that u didn't order, to be disrespected by staff members, and pay for that whole experience, this is the right place for you.

The Bar With No Name: A Plea to Preserve Its Soul ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5 stars) After 8+ loyal years at The Bar With No Name, I'm disheartened by recent changes since Simone left and new management took over. This wasn't just another Dublin pub - its house-like décor, alternative atmosphere, and exceptional cocktail menu (especially that unforgettable passion fruit caipirinha) made it truly special. Today, I found my favorite cocktails gone from the menu. The staff kindly made our passion fruit caipirinha when requested, but its absence from the menu signals a concerning shift. This matters because unique offerings attract unique people. By standardizing the menu, you risk becoming just another pub that could exist on any Dublin corner, attracting generic crowds rather than the distinctive clientele that built your reputation. The Bar With No Name has always been the place I proudly showed visiting friends - "You won't find this anywhere else." That exclusivity is your strength, not something to discard. This isn't a complaint but heartfelt feedback: your bar's character was built through years of distinctive choices. Honoring that legacy while evolving is possible. Please don't sacrifice what made this place extraordinary - Dublin has enough ordinary pubs, but only one Bar With No Name that we've loved for nearly a decade.

My friends and I walked in and spent less than 15 minutes inside. Maybe it was the weekend that we came but it was overpacked and not really our vibe. Hopefully we’ll come back during a less crowded time. Albeit this was the weekend of the Vikings vs Steelers game.

The food and cocktails were good, the cocktails were a little pricey but also really yummy so I would recommend trying them out when you have the chance. The atomosphere is fun, they have some really nice decor and the different types of indoor and outdoor seating. The bar itself is tough to find on the road but the experience is great!

They definitely need a lot of maintenance. It’s not cleaned, and not sure why they just keep things like this. There was dust. Unfortunately, I wasn’t comfortable at all. The employees are friendly and the place is crowded usually just like the other bars nearby.

Up a flight of stairs is a tucked away bar with many sides. The first is a small dark room with some couches. The left side is outdoors with covered seating (still wet in certain parts) but cozy and tons of seating. Inside there's a large room with table and couch seating. This bar has a good vibe for chilling and hanging out. No loud music, peaceful. I got the no name cocktail for 15€ which was tasty but a quick drink. The egg whites created a fluff to the top.

Bar 1661 is IMHO the best cocktail bar in Dublin. It specializes in Irish Poitín, but has everything else you’re craving, too. Roberto and Brenden really did it up for us sitting at the bar, making us some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had, letting us try some special tastes, and giving us excellent recommendations for other bars in the area. We also got to meet Qhuy, who was awesome and funny as well. I literally can’t think of a better, more well-rounded crew to man a bar than these guys. I hope I get to come back someday, but if not, thanks Roberto for making it an incredible experience, and I’ll see you at your sisters wedding 💃🏻 (lol obvi)

One of the best bars for handcrafted poitin based amalgamations and drinks. Cocktails and classics were really superb and they have a very extensive curated list of drinks and a very beautiful looking cocktail menu book. Loved the place drinks and just the vibe. Highly recommend it. For cocktail aficionados this is a must visit place

The tasting experience is a must-do in Dublin. The coctails and garnishments were next level fantastic. The timing of the cocktails are perfect and the food is amazing. We had a fabulous time. You must book in advance because it is really popular.

Nice little cocktail bar with over 25 cocktail creations. We tried about half of them and they were all very tasty. Welcome cocktail on arrival. Very decently priced. Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Nice little heated outside seating area.

Really impressed with this bar. Staff were very polite and attentive. Every single member of staff knew the menu inside out, loved how they explained our cocktails to us when serving. Fantastic choice of cocktails and all came well presented. We came for my boyfriend’s 30th for a spontaneous pre drink before dinner and staff were great to fit us in despite the whole place almost full!

An amazing cocktail bar. Absolutely brilliant unique cocktails which taste amazing. All staff are very knowledgeable and have lots of great information about the different cocktails. I would love to return here in the further to try some more!!

Very good cocktails albeit being mostly on the mild side, all very balanced but nothing that would surprise you much. The oysters were super fresh and delicious as well.

Unforgettable Experience at Guinness Storehouse This weekend's visit to the Guinness Storehouse was truly amazing! We were captivated by the rich history of Guinness, expertly brought to life through interactive exhibits and engaging storytelling. The self-guided tour took us on a fascinating journey through the brewing process, from ingredients to iconic taste. Highlights: - Incredible History: Learned so much about Guinness's heritage and legacy - Interactive Exhibits: Engaging displays made the experience fun and memorable - Perfect Ending: Poured our own perfect pint at the Gravity Bar rooftop, with stunning Dublin views - Delicious Food Truck: Tried the tasty hotdog outside – a great snack! Guinness Storehouse is an absolute must-visit in Dublin! Allow at least 2 hours to soak it all in.

I had the opportunity to visit the Guinness Storehouse, which was the place I most wanted to see while in Ireland. There are interesting shops inside, and the history of the brewery, as well as the history of Ireland, is displayed and is fascinating to see. They demonstrate how to sample the stout, and there are delicious restaurants. Plus, the top floor offers panoramic views over the entire city of Dublin. The service staff are all great, and some were kind enough to offer me free beer samples (a pint :D). If I ever get the chance to return to Ireland, I will definitely visit this place again.

It was a great experience. It was super well presented and everything was well organized. It was easily orientable and the progression was logical. Additionally, it was very interactive with all the different parts of the exhibition. Something i particularly liked was how on theme everything was throughout (such as the “roasting” part was in a room themed with furnace-like lighting)! Super cool. Would strongly suggest going.

A fun experience even if you're not a Guinness drinker. A self-guided tour across 7 floors where you can learn about the entire process of making Guinness and it's history as a brand including it's famous advertising. The ticket includes a free Guinness or other drink in the Gravity Bar on the top floor with views over Dublin. Can be very busy so best to book although you can get tickets at the door.

My visit to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin was absolutely amazing! We bought our tickets online, which made everything quick and easy. The whole experience is designed by floors, and each level tells a different part of the Guinness story — from its rich history and iconic marketing campaigns to the brewing process itself. The concept is super well thought-out, interactive, and visually stunning. I loved learning about how the beer is made and how the brand became such a global symbol. You can even enjoy a non-alcoholic Guinness during the tour, which was a great option. Totally worth it!

I was unsure eif going as I thought it could be very touristy but honestly loved the experience, spend a number of hours there going through the different floors, learning about historical side and how it influenced and still is entertained with modern improvements. Highly recommend it! Also food is pretty good, we went to the bar and had pie and toastie then up to the rooftop bar for the pint included in ticket price. Views were gorgeous there!

The Guinness Storehouse is a must-visit in Dublin! The tour is fun, interactive, and full of history — from learning how Guinness is brewed to seeing old ads and memorabilia. The highlight is definitely the Gravity Bar at the top, where you can enjoy a perfectly poured pint with stunning 360° views of the city. Even if you’re not a big beer drinker, the experience is worth it for the atmosphere alone.

What an amazing anniversary dinner! We shared the shrimp appetizer in the lobster bisque and baguette and it was outstanding. We then shared the tomahawk for 2 with potatoes and corn ribs as well as the chimmichurri and gorgonzola butter. Everything was outstanding including the service and atmosphere. If we are ever back in Dublin we will return. I did make the recommendation to a couple local friends so they can spread the word. Thank you!

We recently went as a larger group for a birthday and all got different cuts of steak. Props to the chef, the steak is always and consistently good. You know what you pay for when you get it. Now it's the consistency & quality of meat you pay for since steak's not hard... The general menu is fine, but if you come with any type of picky eater, realistically their only option is the steak. Now for the vegans, the prices are a bit too much for your casual carrot. Really lovely service that's focused on your table. Unfortunately it'd be a better atmosphere if there was a possibility when you come as a larger group to get a seat with a view. The space between tables and noise levels are just perfect to have a nice evening. Overall it was nice to try, completely understand the appeal but you can get more value for money elsewhere.

Great steak place in Dublin. We just arrived in Dublin, and we wanted to have dinner close to our hotels. I reserved a table in this restaurant. The place is located on the last floor of the building and it has a nice view of the surroundings. Staff are nice and welcoming. Good choice of cocktails and wines. If you are looking for a good stake, they have you covered. Good variety of meat and perfectly cooked. The place accepts also large group of people, and after a couple of pints, they can become a bit noisy. The acoustics of the place might be improved. Otherwise, if you are looking for a good dinner with excellent food and at a reasonable price, you found your spot.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the rooftop balcony. The Irish breakfast particularly special and delicious, would also recommend the porridge which was great. Service was quick and efficient yet there was a muddle up with our food and one of our meals was wrong meaning it arrived later after the others. Views from the restaurant make for a pleasant experience particularly on a sunny summer morning.

We had the T-bone steak with 2 sides, corn cob and truffle fries. It was delicious. Great service and environment. Overall great experience, however this is an expensive restaurant. You can get better value elsewhere.

Ryleigh’s Rooftop is an experience worth savoring. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the tomahawk ribeye – truly something out of this world, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. As starters, we tried the prawns and the carpaccio. While I can’t personally review the prawns due to an allergy, my friends described them as absolutely delicious. The carpaccio, on the other hand, was a real standout for me: well balanced, with the roasted capers adding a beautiful contrast to the freshness of the green sauce. Yes, it is on the pricier side, but between the quality of the dishes, the incredible rooftop views, and the attentive, personalized service, it’s money well spent. The only reason I’d give 4 stars for the atmosphere is that it was a little on the busy side, but honestly, don’t let that put you off. Ryleigh’s remains a fantastic choice for a memorable evening.

For starters, I had Mushroom & Garden Pea Risotto which was tasty and creamy as it should be! For the main course, I got Porcini Crust Salmon. The salmon was well-cooked and the crust was super delicious, highly recommended

A recommendation from a friend of mine. Came here mainly for lunch and got placed in a nice and comfortable spot. The location looks nice with giant lamps and a mosaic ground. The staff was fast and friendly. Wonderful Irish Stew, this was really good. 👍 Also two pints of Guinness, also good. They have a rooftop area but it was not the best time or weather to get there. That’s it.

My wife and I actually had dinner here two nights in a row, the food we saw other diners eating prompted us to return for another night. The Irish Stew was very well done, so we're the bangers and mash. The latter had a great onion reduction sauce.

We had lunch here and it was a lovely pub experience for our last lunch in Ireland! It was relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and experience. We’d definitely eat here again.

The best Irish Stew of all time! Flavorful from the herbs and not gamey, with the most tender lamb.

Great pub, as pubs should be! The drinks are good, staff is friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Gave us a great time.

We stopped into this pub, for a drink, at the end of our first day/afternoon in Ireland (walking around Dublin) and it was here that I was presented with the BEST Irish coffee that I enjoyed over our entire holiday in Ireland. Louie was our bartender. His service was beyond excellent, which included making us feel so completely welcomed and at home. He gave me a lesson on what a proper Irish coffee is, and I might have experienced one (but only one) close to his level of excellence, but certainly not at his level of excellence. And believe me, I tried one in pretty near ever Irish pub we stopped into for an afternoon refreshment over the entire duration of our 3 weeks in Ireland - my quest was a devoted one indeed. A huge thank you to Louie for his precise, insistent, and most memorable lesson on Irish coffee and for making the best one I have ever tasted. Please also send a message to him - we are the couple that moved on next to a 2-week stay in Tralee. Please let him know that 2 weeks in Tralee was not enough time, we enjoyed every minute of being there!

We just popped in for a quick drink on our way to the train station. The staff were very friendly and the Guinness was top notch!

the staff was friendly, but the wait for food could be a bit slow, even though there was few people in there restaurant. They give you alot of food and it has good flavor. It atmosphere was a bit dark, had to use my phone light to read the menu. Good selection of food.

A first time visit and was very impressed. Lovely welcome, helpful and knowledgeable staff who offered suggestions and explained the dishes we were interested in. We had Vietnamese Rolls & Bao Buns, both with Soft Shell Crab Tempura to start and Seafood Tom Yum for mains, which was plentiful and delicious. To drink - Tropical New Fashioned one sweet and one spicy , both a good choice. We arrived at 3pm the opening time on a Saturday which was quite so we'll definitely be back to experience the atmosphere when it's busy.

A Perfect Date Night Spot We had a wonderful date night at Opium on Wexford Street, Dublin. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavour and beautifully presented. The cocktails were just as impressive, crafted with care, and packed with personality. Even without a booking, we were able to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a great experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel completely welcome, even taking the time to chat and guide us through the menu. The ambience was warm and inviting—perfect for a cosy evening out. Overall, it was a fantastic night and a spot we’ll definitely return to.

The food was excellent. The bang bang mayo chicken wings had a delicious sauce with a lasting aftertaste, and the panko tiger prawns were perfectly crunchy on the outside yet light, without the heaviness of batter. The green curry was absolutely outstanding, rich in flavor and with a great texture, highly recommended. I also enjoyed the pad kee mao, which was less spicy than I expected but still beautifully seasoned. The staff were attentive and genuinely kind, making the experience even better. The place itself is comfortable, with background music at just the right volume, enough to set the mood while still allowing easy conversation without raising your voice.

The cooks at play are really something Loved the Ref Thai prawn curry served with some well cooked egg fried rice, scanty egg bits but rice cooked just right. Loved my sweet and spicy cocktail , the passion something , its second on the menu and mmmm so delicious. My accompanied friends tell me that the lamb clay pot was prepared well. 100% recommended for good food. Facilities kept CLEAN , which is rare to see in DUBLIN Happy travels

This is the first time I tried Tamarind Chicken Wings and they were delicious. Green Curry was like any other Green Curry. Might go back for starters.

I went for the yellow curry and fried rice and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Having been to Thailand, it was definitely up there with their curries! Really impressed! Lovely atmosphere and great service. Cocktails were great too! I look forward to returning!

The best authentic Thai restaurant in Dublin. Staffs are so nice and welcome us with a warmly smile, they also gave us a perfect recommendation for the food. Highly recommended!!

We had an excellent time at nightmarket. The food is incredible, and can be made as spicy as one likes! Delicious flavors and the side room with tiles adds a cute ambience for a date night. Highly recommend!

This was easily one of the best meals I had in Dublin. Flavourful, spicy, and warm in the belly I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal. Its a bit expensive, but the portions are big enough for two meals. I will always pay money for good food and will absolutely be back to this place again. In a city where this is so much bland and flavourless, this truly is a standout place.

I wasn’t going to write a review… but then the staff made it so that I had to! I didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was quite busy, so I came back an hour later. Not ideal, but I really wanted to eat here, and I’m so glad I did. They eventually found me a table, and from there the experience was exquisite. The food was incredible, I had the mussels, the red curry duck, and the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was bursting with flavor. The staff were so attentive, answered all my questions about the menu, and even recommended a perfect red wine pairing. The atmosphere was amazing, warm, lively, and inviting. Just make sure you book in advance ☺️

This is hands down our favourite restaurant! We have visited many times and it never disappoints. The authentic Thai food is absolutely incredible, the staff are fantastic and there’s always such a great atmosphere.

I have been always looking for a good thai restaurant that would serve good drinks. But it seems that I can always get either or. Nightmarket was unfortunately no exception. Let’s start with the environment. I made a reservation for the tunnel room. When I arrived I was offered a table outside by a pile of boxes. Upon requesting a different table, I was sat in proper tunnel room. That was great. I must say the restaurant ambience is nice, most table are good and it looks great, except for the table I was offered initially. Now the drinks. They have excellent drinks. I was very pleased. I just think they could have been faster. It took a long time to get drinks for a small place. The food presentation was great but I thought the flavor wasn’t there. I had a Tom Kha Gai soup and it was great. The pork skewers are fantastic. Then I had the Miang Kham and it was disappointing. It was a very dry dish. Well presented but very dry and not to my taste. Then we had the pad thai, the mango salad and the papaya salad. The mango salad was great but the fried crab that comes with it was over fried and tasteless. We could not eat it at all. The pad thai was not bad but it was missing something. It wasn’t the best but again, I was disappointed with the flavors. The papaya salad was tasteless and probably the worst I ever had. I love papaya salads and usually I ask it to be made mild so that I enjoy the flavors. Unfortunately, the flavors were not there. It was like it was missing something. Again the same pattern. Since the experience was not that great, we decided to skip desert. In conclusion, I believe they need to speed up the drinks and enhance the food flavors. Everything else was great. This place has the potential to be the best in town. Just not there yet.

Quality Thai food, enjoyed all of it. But I mainly went there for the Khao Soi Ga which was a slight let down as they used bland chicken strips. In my experience of North Thailand they only used chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks which taste much better. Pad Thai was unbearingly sweet with tamarind sauce.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We got the chefs menu and I’d highly recommend it. Our waiter also gave some excellent recommendations.

Amazing place. Super vibe. Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. We had the chef’s menu and did not disappoint. It’s also loads of food for two people, no need to add anything else! The only thing I didn’t love was the salad, but everything else was a 10 out of 10.

An unforgettable experience! We enjoyed a multicourse meal filled with small, shareable plates, each one surpassing the last. The flavors were absolutely incredible, truly an outstanding dining experience. The customer service was excellent as well. Our waiter patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel completely at ease.

My new favourite restaurant in Dublin. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere, I can see now why it's always impossible to get a table. The crab tostada was fantastic but the sharing steak was one of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.

I love this place. Didn’t know what it was, saw it recommended on Reddit during my trip research, booked it, and so happy that I did! It was for a bday celebration, food and Bev were excellent. Service is bravo. Good job Dublin , highly recommended.

Excellent little joint serving trendy Italian. The burratta was divine. The tagliatelle with beef shank ragu was like my mom and aunt's made. Go!

Pleasantly surprised by this spot! Staff were very friendly and met our request to sit in the window. They were also happy to make recommendations. At the end of the day it is a no brainier to take advantage of the chef’s menu. It is an amazing value and allows you to try many different dishes. I think it’s the perfect spot for a special occasion, date night or catch up with friends.

This is a fantastic, cozy, Italian restaurant one mile from the Grand Canal area in a beautiful residential neighborhood. The food and the service was top notch - friendly and engaging servers that pay attention to all of the details. We ordered the stuffed arancini with a truffle sauce (out of this world good), the bolognese and the gnocchi. I highly recommend a dinner here if you are looking to get out of the city center for a night.

A co-worker recommended this place, and I’m so glad they did. It’s a small, cozy restaurant with a lovely atmosphere that made me feel like I was dining in Italy. The food was outstanding — full of authentic flavor — and the wine was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations on what to try. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely go back. Highly recommend!

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long time, service was brilliant, very friendly and made our experience so enjoyable. Food was fantastic and drinks were so good. Best espresso martini I have had in a long time.

We had a fantastic evening at Gigi’s, a gem of an Italian restaurant that delivered on every level. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and looked after with genuine care , a big shoutout to Roberto, our waiter, whose service was absolutely top-notch: friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We started with polenta fries and toast with pesto ,both simple yet delicious. The polenta fries were golden and crispy with a perfect soft center, and the pesto on the toast was vibrant and fresh, a great way to kick things off. For mains, we went with the classic carbonara with guanciale and a special truffle pasta, and both were unbelievably good. The carbonara was rich and silky, with perfectly cooked pasta and that deep flavor only good guanciale can bring. The truffle special was a showstopper ,aromatic, indulgent, and beautifully balanced. Honestly, we’re still thinking about it. Gigi’s strikes that rare balance of relaxed charm with high-end flavors. We’ll definitely be back and next time, we’re saving room for dessert!

Outstanding in all things. Got the Burrata, Aranchini and Polenta Fries. Minor feedback: the Aperol Spritz came with a rosemary garnish which didn't add anything. In Venice they added instead a single green olive and that does add nice flavour.

What a wonderful experience. We were just going to have some nice Italian food, and ended up having such a great time thanks to the amazing staff and manager.

Beautiful atmosphere and impeccably delicious food, I had the best burrata in the world there! The service is outstanding and you can truly see the passion in everyone who works there.

Arrive in Dublin on Sunday and what do you do? Have a drink in a few bars maybe? Toners was one such place. A bit of an Irish institution. Crazily busy but still found a table. On the surface it’s mad. But boy is it well run. Table service works brilliantly so no waiting. Nice pint or two of Guinness ( read the sign) Smithies red ale was also a great pint. Nice music going on and a wonderful atmosphere. Would I go back? You bet I would 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳 Recommended 😁

Was looking for a good Irish pub - not a crazy bar/restaurant. Toners checked all the boxes. Popular and full on a good night. Almost private and serene on an early Sunday afternoon. The proprietor was awesome, polite and friendly and great place to get a good Irish pub experience without the craziness.

Great atmosphere. We are happy we stopped in for a Guinness. Felt like this is where the locals go, but maybe it is not, idk either way we enjoyed it.

Always a lively pub, especially from Thursdays to Saturdays. If you want a seat you need to get in early. If you’re happy standing you can come at anytime - just be aware that on match day many supporters come here before, during, and after the match, so it can get exceptionally busy. Guinness from inside is usually a 8/10, however I’ve had some dodgey pours and some exceptional pours so take that as an average.

Toners is one of the coziest and most authentic pubs in Dublin — perfect for a relaxed afterwork pint. They don’t serve food, but the great thing is you can bring your own. Right across the street is Cirillo’s, one of the best Italian pizzerias in town. Great Guinness, warm lighting, wooden tables, and that timeless pub charm you just can’t fake

Really cool spot in a great area of dublin. Classic pub inside, with a nice courtyard that is covered in the back. Very lively and a good crowd. Lots of spots to sit, but does get quite busy.

Step back in time with this pub. We sat in the " snug" and were very well looked after by the staff. Really nice wholesome atmosphere which I think sets this pub apart from it's competition.

Came here for date night and it was fantastic. We didn't drink wine because we were driving and found it to be great value in this sense. I would highly recommend and plan to eat here again. Service from all was exceptional. I saved scraps as a treat for my Irish Wolfhound, and they came out with lots more and a few tomahawk bones which was greatly appreciated. Great vibes and great experience!

Showed up 30 minutes late because I got the time wrong and figured our reservation was toast. The Butcher Grill is tiny and usually packed, so I thought there was no chance. But the hostess was an absolute gem. She had even tried calling me and still held our table. That kind of kindness already made me a fan before I even sat down. The food was incredible. I’m not usually into beans, but theirs were so good I kept going back for more. The scallops were perfectly cooked, sweet and tender. And the steak… wow. The flavor was out of this world. I’ve had some great steaks in my life, but this one took the cake. Every bite was rich, juicy, and unforgettable. I ate all over Ireland, and this was hands down my favorite meal of the trip. If you get the chance, do not miss The Butcher Grill.

The quality of the meat was exceptional. My steak was cooked exactly to order, perfect seasoned snd incredibly delicious. Staff were friendly and genuinely knowledgable about menu and cuts of meat. They offered great recommendations. Prices were very fair for the quality. Would happily recommend it to anyone looking to eat great steak.

Freddie the Host was amazing, The starters are all class. Rib Eye Steak was as soft as Butter 🧈 Food was off the Charts so Good. Would love to see a French Peppercorn Sauce on the Menu. Will be back very very soon. John.

Five star meal with a five star service! Enjoyed an evening with some great colleagues and was fortunate to get a booking in this amazing restaurant. Food was great - from starters through till dessert. The day ended with a card payment issue though as their machines were playing up. Came back an hour later to settle the bill. Comes recommended.

The food here was fantastic! Everything we got was perfect, obviously its a bit expensive but the quality of food and service is really good! You definitely need to book in advance but its worth the wait.

I love this place. The chefs and the service is just incredible. It’s rare I see a negative review and when I do I’m shocked at what people complain about. Some people you just can’t please but do yourself a favour and dine here. You will not be disappointed and if you are maybe you’re one of those types 😂

Local bartenders weren't so fussed to hype this place up It's beautiful inside and the staff are friendly. Drinks are presented nicely But the menu doesn't do it for me. The movie theme seems random, and they don't taste that good. They're just ok

We’ve been to 9 Below twice now on our travels to Dublin. The first time was wonderful service was great and the drinks were delicious. This last time we went. We went as two groups of 6. They sat us in the bigger room where we all could be together and it was awesome. Until it came down to the actual service. Not sure if it was due to our group size or what. But we were ignored had to find the server if we wanted more drinks and when it was time to pay we noticed they added extra items to our bill. I’m gonna say on accident. But when we brought it to the teams attention we were met with hostility and attitudes that weren’t necessary. (As we weren’t gonna pay for things we never had) So at that point it seemed like they added the items on purpose. It’s a neat place with a cool vibe and the drinks are tasty. But make sure you track what you order and check your bills

So glad we (literally) found this spot! (It's to the right of the double staircase in case you miss it!) Jo was our fabulous bartender and she was so patient with our questions about the bar itself, the drinks, the menu, etc. The drinks were all excellent. But our favorites were the Boogie Nights and White Chicks! Would definitely stop in again!

Absolutely gorgeous place for drinks! Mystery like atmosphere, low lights and amazing cocktails. Just for reference they don’t serve food, so consider not being hungry when you walk in. Excellent place for dates.

I rented this space for a private event - a welcome party for my guests the evening before our wedding. There were 50 guests total. The staff had space cleared for a small three-piece band beforehand. Communication was amazing beforehand. Food and drink was chosen in advance, which was organized properly as I was able to arrange several calls with Shannan Noonan. She made sure everything was good to go. I only needed to give a deposit to reserve the space about 6 months in advance, and I asked them if I could give the rest of the minimum spend that was agreed upon (3k) the week before the event, so that it was off of my chest. This was not required by the establishment. You could pay when you got there. You also can limit the spend if you are paying for guests, and you can limit top shelf alcohol, shots, etc. Basically the staff are great at acknowledging your event needs. I would highly suggest using this unique space to host an event. It was intimate and we all had a blast! Patio out front was also nice!

Salvador Dali theme cocktails- delicious, well crafted, and well priced. I love the ambience inside.

Great atmosphere and delicious and creative cocktails, "cast away" was my favourite. Also service was very quick and the book nook looked super cozy. Definitely a nice place to visit in Dublin.

Horrible Customer Service Visited this establishment with a friend for tea and a few drinks plus a meal. Unfortunately, all they cared for was our covid certs. They went on to welcome other customers who came after us and gave them menus. They made us wait for more 30min. We had to literally grab them so they could give us a menu. Even thereafter they left us. We again had to grab them so we could order tea and a drink. The service was extremely poor. They made us feel like we were aliens, rejects, second class citizens or things that do not belong. Never felt this in a century and I doubt I could ever set a foot here or recommend this establishment to any person even the worst of my enemies. I regret setting a foot here.

First flight out of Stockholm on a Sunday morning arrived here at midday for a Sunday beef roast. It's the perfect start to a day sightseeing. You've got to order before Friday if you want this, it's for four people and even though I played safe and ordered medium / well, it was great food and came with the trimmings and a lovely gravy. For £75 you get lunch for four and a bottle of wine. Seriously thinking about taking another trip to Dublin to start the day here again.

Good pub with a good atmosphere. They appear to have a great selection of drinks and lots of people were ordering many weird and wonderful concoctions that looked great. The Guinness was good too though, which isn't always the case in busier bars. Bar food is also available and their sharing platters are amazing. Will definitely revisit.

An unpretentious bar that serves high quality (and award winning) cocktails. I had the smokey old fashioned and it was an absolute dream, no wonder the friendly and knowledgable staff so heavily recommended it. The touch of maple syrup makes such a smooth drink, sweet but not overpoweringly so. I can’t wait to go back and try more. At €9-12 for cocktails the prices are in line with other middle-high end bars and is very fair value for what you get. Will certainly return.

Central location, good service, reasonable prices (for Dublin). The onion ring batter left something to be desired but the fish was good. My family enjoyed their pasta and veggie burger too.

Yesterday I faced the horrible customer service in the Exchequer. We booked a table outside and we were sit at the edge table near the entrance. It started to rain and even though we had a cover from the rain, because of wind the rain splashed to us and on the table few times. We asked a manager to change the table because we saw a better table next to us but we were refused with the reason that that table were booked by others. Though when we did booking I didn't see the opportunity to choose the exact table. We talked to a manager few times asking to be flexible and change our table because we didn't feel comfortable there but nothing changed. I won't come to the place where the customers are not respected and served as they mean nothing.

Pub in Dublin centre. Unlike many other pubs in Grafton streets whereabouts, it’s not the one for tourists, many natives come here to have a pint. Many drinks, few dishes on the menu though delicious. Moderate prices!

Lovely pub! Visited on a Thursday and Friday night during my holiday in Dublin. Thursday was a nice atmosphere, lively but not overly loud, generally older crowd, mostly irish with a few tourists (like us). Friday was busy but still had seating available upstairs, many people stood outside drinking. Big selection of whiskeys, good beers, a helpful staff.

It's what you'd expect out of a pub. I asked locals and did research on where I could have the best pint of Guinness, as I frequently drink it, I was not disappointed, this was definitely the best pint of Guinness I've ever had. Their Guinness is rather easy to drink and more on the smooth side than the creamy side, depends on what you like, but this was perfect for us. The Bulmers off the tap was also excellent, it had kept its fizz quite well, as they're usually served via bottle. The barmen were fast and on point, no bullshit, just drinks.

Great spot with reasonably priced drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. No food or TVs. Love the sense of privacy, it’s perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet night out. Always a solid choice! The guiness is a perfect pour.

Stopped in here for a quick pint. The Guinness did not disappoint. Very cool pub atmosphere and in a great location. The place is very busy and it can be hard to find a seat or even standing room.

We saw the notice saying live trad music on a Sunday night abs since it was Sunday we went up. The guinness was great, the irish coffee too. But the music was fabulous. As the evening went on musicians kept arriving. The music was good traditional music not fake tourist come-all-ye's.

This is a perfect place to enjoy a pint or few. It was busy on a weekday afternoon and we were extremely lucky to find a seat as it got really busy not long after we arrived.

I have been to Dublin many times. It's generally a warm, welcoming place. During this last visit, I noticed a shift. Bar staff doesn't want to engage or answer questions about the history of the establishment or even smile at customers. There just isn't the feel there used to be. The Palace Bar is one of the few places this was not true. The bartenders were warm and the bar itself is absolutely beautiful. The clientele was relaxed and happy. It retains its good feel.

This is a good restaurant and has authentic french food. Service was nice and good food. Only concern vegetarian options were extremely limited and only 1 dish in main course. For vegetarian people there were only 2 starters and 1 main dish. Also tables are very close to each other so low privacy.

OMG This Restaurant was our last night dinner out before going back to New York. We have been to Very High End French Restaurants in Manhattan. This restaurant was That Quality. Food...Mussels and Duck Pate..Wonderful!!! Dinner....Venison and Crispy Duck...Unbelievable...I highly recommend this Restaurant.

Had a meal here on Sat night - was my first time - will definitely be going back. My wife had the prawn salad to start - she said it was delicious, and so fresh. (And a decent size portion too). I didn't have a starter. But their "bread for the table" portion was extremely generous. My only negative on the bread was that the butter was far too hard - it really should be at room temperature. My wife had the Duck Confit à l’Orange for mains and I had the Chicken Supreme. Both dishes were delicious. The veg was cooked to perfection. The only negative would be that the skin on the duck was not crispy - and was therefore far too fatty. However, the flavours were amazing - and for that - I will definitely be returning. 22/10/24 - ate again here - another superb meal - the food is so, so flavoursome.

The place is definitely a gem. If you don’t know yet, just go. The place is downstairs (a cave 😅) and super cozy. I loved the atmosphere. It is French, elegant, beautiful. The wine selection is to die for. The first place in Dublin that I found Chocolate Block bottler 🤤. The food is good (average) nothing special, but fair. But the whole experience and the service will make me come back many times. Conclusion: if you are a lover wine, as me, and like great experience, this is a must place to visit.

The overall experience was lovely. The food was nice, ambience cosy, service very friendly. The food whilst it tasted nice, wasn't mind blowing, it was enjoyable but lacked some depth in flavour compared to other French restaurants I've been to. The service really friendly and the food came out promptly and hot. I'd advise booking in advance especially for bigger parties as its a really small restaurant, but albeit cosy and full of character.

Amazing mushroom ravioli, lamb shanks, le poisson du jour were so delicious. Great wine selection. Great date spot. Great carafes! Stunning food.

I ordered the niçoise salad and gran ravioli from the express lunch menu with a glass of L'Or du Sud chardonnay. The servers were welcoming and attentive, and the food was delightful! Most of all I was amazed by the beautiful decor and the atmosphere. It is rare that a place with such an upscale, classy feel also has such a warm, cosy ambiance. This was certainly a lovely dining experience!

I visited this fantastic bar before Christmas last year, and it exceeded all expectations unfortunately the place has been shut down now . The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, with great music and friendly staff and lovely food by ‘Laacha Restaurant’ .

This place is absolutely GORGEOUS. Vinny the bartender welcomed me for a lovely two for €16 cocktails at lunch time. He was sweet and lovely to chat with. It’s my last day of travel here in Ireland and I feel thankful to have started the day’s energy here! Thanks Vinny and Farrier & Draper 💚☘️

SCAM, BEWARE! This place tricks you and refuses to give you your money back. Sign out front said 2 cocktails for €16 and that’s the only reason we came in. Told the hostess that’s what we want. After she sat us no one came around and I had to go up to the bar to get my own menu and again had to go up to the bar to order because no one came by. It was 4pm on a weekday so not a terribly busy time. Ordered 2 margaritas, asked for one spicy. Bartender not once said it would be extra for spicy despite me again saying when I ordered I want the special that’s advertised on the sign (which does say margaritas). Got my bill and they charged me double! It’s no longer €16 because of the added “spicy”. I asked for a courtesy adjustment and the manager said no. At this point I find it so ridiculous I even told them I’m going to do a charge back with my credit card company and they still didn’t budge. So instead of doing the right thing, they rather lose a customer, gain a negative public review, get €0 instead of €16, and generally just be a shady business. Proud to say I got my money back from Chase and those crappy drinks were free :)

Stunning place with very good location. The environment is so nice and the cocktails are tasty. Love the deco there showing some stories that we don’t know can discover more..

Such a beautiful place, the design is beautiful. Service was okay, a little slow and the staff seemed to be overwhelmed. The food menu was not loading on their website. So I could not pre plan on what to order. Food was okay the seafood pasta was okay, a little salty. Drinks however were well made. I had the Tommy's Spice Bag Margarita which I enjoyed. The dinning room was clean and tidy. Bathroom was clean but one of the soap dispensers was out of soap, which can happen during busy hours. It was not busy when I was there. Over all I had an okay experience. Maybe it was an off day but I was not totally impressed on my first visit.

nice little spot for a light bite and a cocktail. Guinness here was super smooth and creamy. spicey margarita was beautiful according to my husband. little bit expensive and the menu states the wrong prices as when we went to pay they charged us 4 euro more on each dish. which has knocked the rating down.

Had a great time here! The bouncer Naty made our night- top person! Told us exactly where to go and what to do 🕺💃😃. Would go here again. Fantastic staff and nice vibes!!! Amazing cocktails at promotion 2 for 16€

Overall Pleasant experience, tasty food, nice music. No parking, slightly over priced. Accepted us as walk in but seated in a high table with high chairs. Would recommend booking. Very tiny table, barely accommodated our orders(2 persons) Service was good, Niamca was super helpful. Food could be improved. Oily beryani, thick Rita salad, no sauce with beryani. Desserts options are good.

It’s a sophisticated place, with beautiful decor and very clean. The service is high-quality, but it makes the customer feel a bit uncomfortable due to the excessive politeness, which borders on servility. I felt watched the entire time. The dishes are very well presented, with generous portions served on elegant tableware. I enjoyed everything I ate, especially the yogurt and the dessert, which were delicious. It’s not a cheap restaurant, but it's worth it for the experience.

Somewhat subpar date night. Maybe I made a bad choice, but I ordered one of the signature dishes, Nehari Gosht, and it really was underwhelming. Beef was tender, and they accommodated my request for extra spicy, but it just tasted one dimensional. This place is on the pricier side which is why I'm more disappointed. My wife did enjoy her lamb biryani, but again, i tasted it and didnt think much of it. They also provided complimentary poppadoms which was appreciated. Service was good. I felt the ambient lighting was too dull for my liking. I'd likely not go back here in a hurry.

Had dinner here while visiting Dublin. We really enjoyed the food. It was fresh and tasty. Best of all, everything was halal. Besides great tasting food, the service was excellent. The staff went out of their way to take care of us. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Atmosphere is really good! They have Nihari which is only spicy food! Presentation was good but taste was not 100% like Karachi Nihari but acceptable! Kindly add Karak Chai in your menu!!

I feel a bit guilty writing this because the staff were wonderful and the service was really top-notch. The atmosphere was also very lovely, so maybe I had my expectations set a bit too high? That said, I was quite surprised by the nearly 30€ charge for a portion of butter chicken that tasted like it had been sweetened with 2-3 heaping tablespoons of sugar right before serving. It felt a little like paying a premium for something that didn’t quite hit the mark. We also tried the Nehari Gosht, which is a signature dish, but it mostly just tasted of mild paprika and butter, with a touch of turmeric thrown in. When the seasoning is that basic, it makes you wonder what the real focus is. I think my main disappointment comes from the price point. If this were just a casual takeout spot, I wouldn't mind so much and simply say it’s geared more towards the European palate and accept it. But with the amount I paid, I guess I expected a bit more depth and authentic flavor.

The restaurant offers great food and a lovely ambience, complemented by friendly staff who provide excellent service.

I really liked the restaurant’s interior. The food was on the pricey side, especially the plato de jamón, which was €25 for just a few slices of ham, some olives and bread. That said, their tapas were great. However, I didn’t find the staff very accommodating—it felt like we were being rushed, possibly because we didn’t have a reservation.

Lovely place. Food is excellent. Place is a bit loud and staff could be a wee bit more attentive.

Overall: not bad neither incredibly good. I'd like to come again and try their dinner. Pros: good quality of food. Nice vibe (although design is a bit too much to my liking): not too loud, which is crucial if you meet friends there. Super attentive service. Prices are what you'd expect there (Ranelagh), meaning 15-20 per person for brunch. Portions are fair, not too big (consider ordering a side if you're hungry). Cons: the coffee isn't on the menu -- okay? -- and it's from Nespresso pods... Unclear how one can charge regular barista prices when the quality is noticably lesser. If it wasn't for this flaw, I'd give 4 stars.

La Bodega Tapas is a fantastic spot offering **delicious tapas and cured Spanish meats**, with highlights like **jamón curado** and **meatballs in tomato sauce**. The drinks menu is also strong, with **good wines and cocktails** to pair with the food. On Sundays, the atmosphere gets even better with **live flamenco music**, adding a cultural touch that makes the experience special. Prices are very fair for the area, and while we managed to get a table without a booking, I’d recommend reserving if possible. They also have a lovely **outdoor seating area in the back**, perfect for enjoying warm evenings. A great balance of flavor, ambiance, and value — well worth visiting.

10/10 experience, would definitely recommend. I came in early on a Thursday evening and was met with the whole place buzzing with a great atmosphere. The food and drink were absolutely delicious and the service super friendly, especially the waitress Kamila. She recommended and made me an absolutely amazing cocktail. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food, staff was very friendly and offered great recommendations, overall lovely experience. Will be back

Amazing service! Super friendly, helpful, and really made me feel at home. The Spanish dishes were also fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. It’s rare to get that kind of genuine care these days. Thanks so much for making the night even better!

my American friend and I decided to spend our Thanksgiving here since they have a roast of the day on their menu. Lucky us, it was turkey! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was cozy and festive. I’d go back again

One of the better places to go for a top class Guinness! Very picturesque pub & the atmosphere is always great for a match or for a few quiet weekend pints. Great live music, great food and planning on popping over for the quiz in the next week or two.

At a time when pubs are closing or disappointing in the UK this place demonstrates how they should be run. Top notch service, ambience and drinks. A perfect way to end a long day in Dublin.

Always good vibes, very very friendly staff, tasty food, good selection of draft beers and too irish atmosphere.

Great all rounder pub to meet up with friends or watch sports. Serves food and the menu is very varied and is pretty nice and friendly staff.

Beautiful old pub, over 150 years old. What a nice discovery. Beautiful dark atmosphere inside, wood paneling, old pictures hanging on the walls, very comfortable tables and seats. One of the best pints of Beamish in the city and some great service from the staff. Nice and quiet on a Sunday evening. Highly recommended.

First time there, good crowd in the bar. No food served upstairs. We did not eat so unsure of food quality. Smoking area at the front, you need to walk through this area to get into the pub. Staff were friendly atmosphere was nice, albeit a little loud

Came because we had someone in our group named Bob which made it fun! There was a musician playing which contributed to the atmosphere. Definitely overpriced (to be expected of the touristy area). We also bought merch, but they didn't have any in-store (was shipped to home address). Would have loved to be able to wear the merchandise right away. Overall food & service was good & the atmosphere was unique!

We met here with a couple of friends. They chose the place (thanks, Manuela), and it was a great choice. The beer and Irish coffee were sensational. The musician who was playing was simply excellent.

Had my 21st birthday party in the rooftop and it was FAB. Lovely warm staff who went above and beyond to help out and we were allowed bring our own cake, control the DJ booth and lighting ourselves etc. Best night ever thank you Bad Bobs will be recommending ye to all my mates xxxxx

Amazing! Creat server, tasteful food and love the ambiance! First night in Dublin for two Dutch girls, can’t imagine a better start of our holiday!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to after such an incredible time at this bar. My friends and I were visiting from North Carolina, and we had the pleasure of being served at the bar by Richard. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel right at home with his quick wit and hilarious sense of humour. It really made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. The staff and musicians here were all amazing, too—friendly, attentive, and just made the entire atmosphere.

Stopped in on a Sunday night. Place was packed with fantastic music. Definitely a fun place and the staff was extremely friendly.

Great bar 30 seconds from the main part of Temple bar. It was less crowded then the other bars even though the close proximity. The singer was excellent with his skill and variance of songs, from Chris Stapleton to Fleetwood Mac and food fighters. The food didn't take long and was a decent portion and price

O'Donoghues Bar in Dublin is an absolute gem! The staff are incredibly welcoming and genuinely make an effort to ensure everyone has a fantastic experience. The highlight for me was the excellent Guinness – poured perfectly, with that rich, creamy head that every Guinness should have. It truly tastes like an authentic pint of Ireland. Adding to the charm is the fantastic live music. The musicians bring such energy and passion, creating a lively and enjoyable ambiance that perfectly complements the great company, drinks, and setting. O'Donoghues Bar is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to soak up classic Irish hospitality, enjoy top-notch Guinness, and experience some unforgettable live music. Highly recommended!

I stayed here for a few days. The bar was a neat space with live music, very lively. The rooms were clean and charming, the staff was friendly. Given it is a popular bar it is loud with the windows open, but they have excellent sound proofed windows and we had no problem sleeping. One note, you have to check-in at the bar which was no obvious when we arrived.

Charming room above a historic pub. Enjoyed our one night here and a fun timw with friends at the pub on a separate occasion. Staff was beyond attentive and friendly. No lift so only suitable for those able to climb a few flights of stairs

We had an amazing time at O'Donoghue's, with an amazing feel, look and energy to the place. The pints were definitely on the more expensive side it has to be admitted, but the bartenders were warm and welcoming and the drinks were well served. You simply must go for a trad night here, well worth the visit it has to be said.

A REAL classic Irish bar. Got this one recommended for some genuine Irish culture. Ended up in the backyard with lokal singers and band. A really nice place for a quiet Sunday drinking experience. This was the highlight of our trip regarding some real Irish music.

We only had drinks in the pub, we didn’t stay overnight but just could not believe how rude the bar man was. The bald barman, who wouldn’t give his name when asked was possibly one of the rudest bar staff I have ever met in my life, really ruins a great spot to have staff like that.

Authentic Irish Pub with different live music acts during the day. Even as a tourist you feel welcome and as a local. A much nicer vibe than the pubs in temple bar

Arrived and was seated right away. Water given to every table straight away free of charge. Menu was perfectly sized, not too many options. Food portions were huge and delicious. The nachos were my favourite part. Cocktail was flavourful and the Rockshore Cider was full of life. I would HIGHLY recommend Hyde to anyone.

We hosted a corporate event at Hyde and it exceeded our expectations. Our event was held in The Cocktail Bar on the second floor, which was also ideal for our panel and spokespeople. The canapés were excellent and staff were very attentive. Fabiana was particularly helpful and assisted with the booking, logistics and last minute requirements. I would strongly recommend Hyde for similar events and plan to run another even there in the future. Niall

We had the pleasure of dining at Hyde Restaurant in Dublin, located at 9 Lemon Street, Dublin 2, nestled between Grafton and Dawson Streets. This contemporary European venue spans three floors, offering a vibrant ambiance across its Lobby Bar, Cocktail Bar, Rooftop Garden, Rooftop Terrace, and SEEK lounge.   The menu showcases modern Irish cuisine with seasonal produce and precise techniques. Standout dishes include the bone marrow with peanut chilli crunch and the kombu-cured salmon with radish and soy gel.   Hyde’s stylish setting, combined with its eclectic music and rooftop views, creates an all-encompassing experience perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re seeking a romantic dinner or a lively night out, Hyde delivers on all fronts.

I had the best dining experience in Dublin at Hyde! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. But what truly made my night unforgettable was the outstanding service. A huge shoutout to Rebeca, Laila, and Maria — they were incredibly attentive, kind, and professional. They made me feel so welcome and cared for throughout the entire evening. Their warm energy and attention to detail made all the difference. Honestly, this was my favorite experience in Dublin, and I would come back in a heartbeat — not just for the food, but for the amazing team that made it so special. 💖

This is the second time I've eaten at Hyde and I'm simply obsessed with the chicken kiev, when you cut the buttery chicken and eat it with creamed corn and green beans... my belly has never been so happy, Hyde's food is wonderful, I want to go back tomorrow to eat it again! Extra points for Samanta, Fiorela and Rebeca :)

Came to Hyde bar today with my girlfriend , absolutely amazing drinks and atmosphere is 11/10 , Nuala and Luna served us and were very attentive and pleasant, a sound bunch of girls , will definitely be back and would recommend this hidden Gem to anybody!

Very disappointed with our first visit to Hyde. First of all the restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday evening so there was no atmosphere. The venue itself is designed nicely and it is modern. I thought the menu would have more choice. Myself and my guest ordered two cheeseburgers from the main. Since the menu stated it was just the burger we decided to order a truffle fries to share. I asked the waitress for my drinks to come with the food but she obviously wasn't listening as she brought the drinks straight over. We then waited awhile for the food to come out. It was only then we found out the burger comes with a big bowl of fries. This is not stated anywhere on the menu and it would have been common sense for the waitress to tell us this before we ordered the extra fries. We expressed this to the person who served us the food but nothing came from this. So now we had three large bowls of fries and I ended up not even touching my bowl. The burger was okay but even there was no extra touches to the expensive dish in terms of presentation. Service was poor and nobody checked on us until we needed the bill. The waiter asked how everything was and we explained we were disappointed with the fries situation and that I haven't eaten any from my plate. He then said he would give me a box to take them away which was pointless as they were now cold. We wanted to leave immediately but were left waiting for ages for the bill we requested. The waiter we requested it from was just going around doing other things so he obviously forgot about us. We then had to go up to the bar ourselves to the bar to get our bill and pay. The girl at the till automatically added on a 10% tip to our bill. I asked was it mandatory to which she said in a rude manner that she can remove it then since we are not happy with the service. I responded and said the service was very poor and we also had issues with our food order. She didn't care about what we had experienced. Overall bad visit.

Went to this place for food. Didn't think bar food could be so good. It was plenty of food. Our servers were lovely. The two girls on front of house really took care of us without us feeling pestered by them. Ensured empty plates were quickly taken and offered drinks at appropriate times. I would definitely go here again. Losing an atmosphere star as the TVs at the front are a bit awkwardly placed. Could do with slightly bigger screens.

Went there twice and on both occasions had good food and beer. What really stood out was the service and friendliness. We were keen on watching a particular football match and they organised good seats for us.

Great atmosphere, service was 10/10, Barbara looked after us very well and did a wonderful job. Highly recommend the Old Fashioned cocktail 👌

The Bridge 1859 in Ballsbridge is one of Dublin’s great pubs, striking the perfect balance between a lively atmosphere and quality dining. The vibe is warm and welcoming, yet vibrant enough to make it a fun spot whether you’re grabbing dinner with friends or catching a match. The service is consistently excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional. The food goes well beyond standard pub fare, with highlights like wings, chowder, fish & chips, hearty burgers, and more refined dishes such as pan-roasted hake. Portions are generous and the value is solid for the quality and the location. Drinks are also a big plus, with fresh tank beer on tap and a good cocktail selection. On busy days, especially when there’s a big game, it can get crowded and the wait for food may be longer, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Overall, The Bridge 1859 is a spot I’d happily return to: great food, excellent service, and one of the best pub experiences in Dublin.

Lovely pub. Great service, and the portions of food were generous and superb. Will definitely visit again and try their very own crafted beers!

I visited The Bridge 1859 in Dublin during lunchtime. I ordered the spare ribs, which were served with French fries and a Caesar salad. The ribs were tender, flavorful, and of good overall quality. The waiting time for the meal was around half an hour, but it was pleasantly complemented by a local draft beer. The lunch set menu offered a fair balance of price and quality and left a positive impression. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience that I will keep in good memory.

We were passing here today and decided to stop in for some grub as it has been reviving good publicity, the outdoor area was nice and a non smoking outdoor dining area is always a plus. The food was good although the tartar sauce was overbearing and not nice apart from that I could say little bad about the food. The service was very slow and considering there was very few people in at that time I’d have expected it to be more “on the ball”. We had starter and mains and overall it took 1 hour 30 mins (slightly over that) from sit down to leaving. I would go back here as the food is nice and I’d like to experience the atmosphere on a game day 🏉

“Great cocktails and a warm vibe. Loved the live jazz singing by @ericassings. The jazz singer’s velvet voice filled the room with warmth and elegance—made the night feel special. Definitely worth a visit!”

Very good cocktails, mixed service. I reserved a table online, but upon arrival got informed it’s only for an hour and fifteen minutes due to a “big reservation” arriving later… which i found quite rushed and inelegant for a place like this. The hostess was very unapologetic and disinterested in any conversation. We got seated upstairs. Nice decor, but some of it damaged and I repaired, bit of a sewage smell in the room. Luckily from there it got only better. Our margaritas were delicious and bartenders super attentive and kind. Mixed feelings really.

Vert nice experience, different from the usual busy pub and crowds! nice atmosphere, it feels like you are in old exclusive club, where gentlemen go to chat and drink! Sabina, (I'm not 100% sure if that's her name) the Barwoman made very nice cocktails and she is very good! for something a little different i surly recommend it

🍹Amazing cocktail bar in the heart of Dublin! I can’t get over how beautiful and special this place is!! 🍸I tried different cocktails and they were all really good! Unlike anything I’ve tried before. 🙌🏼 Staff was very attentive and kind

What a great quirky cocktail bar. Go upstairs where you will get popcorn and prosecco while they make your drink. I had the number 18, smokey and chocolatey

Amazing venue with great drinks and concept, let down by simply incompetent staff. Harsh but every moment was excruciating from the initial greeting, to waiting 20 minutes to get a first drink, to being presented the bill before our second drink arrived, to then being told our table time was up before that drink arrived. Really awful experience saved only by some quite exciting cocktails. It’s been a while since I’ve really met such terrible staff. I haven’t contemplated complaining before but ended up laughing at how bad this really was - right up to getting our own drinks from the bar, much to the embarrassment of the barman. The location and venue is terrific and maybe after a purge of the team this place could be worth visiting again. Shocking.

I got drunk but I like the cocktail. Good vibes and kinda classic , staffs are friendly, good service. Will visit again!

we went there for lunch, a group of 6 people. the portions were good enough, service at point (the restaurant was almost empty during lunch time) but the prices are really high. I ordered a seafood chowder, didn't like it much though but my colleagues were pretty happy with their orders!

Can't fault the wings here. They're top tier. Wouldn't bother with the onion rings again, looked much better than they are. Service was great. Decent draught beer.

Our first day in Dublin we decided to try this place as it was near our hotel. I ordered the spaghetti pesta. I don’t know what it was supposed to taste like but I didn’t enjoy it. But maybe that’s on me. The service was fair but then we waited a while for our check. Table next to us had the same issue. It was busy so that’s a good sign.

Chicken wings are great, very nice blue cheese sauce, and the portion was good enough.

My wife and I drop in every few weeks, food is always great, staff very friendly and accommodating, cocktails are a must, chicken wings and nachos! A bit embarrassing the staff know our order at this stage! Highly recommend, very chilled place , great food and staff! Thank you

Popped in for brunch around 11am & there was a full menu available also. Nice café vibe with nice decor & very clean. Reasonably priced, great food & service. Seen the cocktail menu & even though it was early I ordered a Bloody Mary with my full breakfast 😋

The wings here are honestly some of the best I’ve ever had

Our time in the Sidecar bar was fantastic. The bartender Benito was kind & professional, which did enhance our experience!! I will definitely be back multiple times during our stay! Outstanding KUDOS to Benito!!

Lively atmosphere, super attentive service and delicious cocktails in the beautiful setting of a 5 star hotel in the city centre, not much more one can ask for.

The cocktails were amazing and worth the high price (especially when you include the snacks (almonds and mini garlic pretzel sticks) and complimentary Prosecco). But it was quite difficult to flag down staff to order drinks or get a menu. There was also a large group in the corner that were incredibly loud. For a smallish compact space, it was an uncomfortable volume.

Unfortunately it is not up to the standards it is supposed to be. Cannot get a cocktail variation the way you want it? That is low profile. These places must have inventive bartenders up to the task and not just capable of following recipes.

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The cocktails were a highlight – delicious and expertly crafted. Each sip was a burst of flavors that perfectly complemented the fantastic meal. A must-visit for cocktail enthusiasts!

You deserve it. A decadent place to enjoy a well curated list of cocktails and drinks, served by welcoming and friendly people. Order the Rockefeller, a basil based cocktail is one to behold. The atmosphere was relaxing. This is a treat. You’ve earned it. Enjoy.

Hidden gem in bustling Dublin city center! An absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. Beautiful cocktails and tasty food. To top of everything, what impressed the most was the service, 10/10!! Our host Vittoria is an angel! So kind, genuine and accommodating. She also has amazing knowledge of cocktails. Pro tip: You can ask for a certain flavor, taste, ingredient, spirit and she will have it made for you even if its not in the cocktail menu book!!! Wow!!

Gorgeous building and a great place to watch the rugby! Lovely staff and excellent food. They were even serving breakfast baps until the lunch menu started. If we lived in Dublin we would be down here all the time!! Thanks ☺️

We visited Camden on a Saturday night, and it was such a fun experience! The place is huge, with an incredible atmosphere that’s full of party vibes. The crowd and energy really made it feel alive, and the music was fantastic at one point they even played a Hindi-Punjabi track, which was a great surprise and added to the fun mix. Definitely a great spot for nightlife and enjoying diverse music in a lively setting

We are Canadians visiting Dublin and saw online that the Camden has a wide range of sports on their tvs. It’s baseball playoffs so we went there to eat and drink and watch the Toronto Blue Jays. We arrived at 9pm and went to the second floor. The female waitstaff we encountered were flat out lying to us. Told us the kitchen was closed and that we could not get any food and they were absolutely certain of it. We tried to order drinks and the bar staff said you had to be sitting at the table if you wanted to order food with your drinks. After 15+ minutes of getting nowhere and actually having one of the female waitstaff that we spoke to walk by us and completely ignore us, I decided to seek out a manager. Once I did that the service turned around 100% and Hector and the other staff were very apologetic and helpful. We ordered drinks and our drinks and pizzas arrived in less than 10 minutes. I was very impressed with the manager’s response to my concerns with the young female weight staff not seeming to want to serve us or help us in anyway. He seemed to know who we were talking about so there may have been a history with this server. It’s a wonderful venue. Lots of televisions and we were there on a Saturday night so it turned into a really fun nightclub. Lots of younger people having a great time. They definitely accommodated us as we watched our baseball game. All the rest of the TVs went dark to support the nightclub atmosphere, but they allowed us to watch our game and enjoy ourselves in the Camden. What started off as incredibly frustrating evening became a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to the Camden staff!

Took my 14 year old ahead of Leeds game on Friday night. Lady serving us was superb and never waited for drink. Food was excellent too. Bouncing atmosphere and we both loved it. Thank you

The service provided was excellent, and the atmosphere was equally impressive. This establishment offers an exceptional experience for both afternoon and evening visits, characterized by a welcoming ambiance, outstanding service, and a friendly team.

I went here ahead of Leeds United vs AC Milan. To say it was rammed was an understatement. Amazing venue. Service very slow (they needed more bar staff. Leeds will always bring more!). but I suspect it won’t always be slow

I had so much fun here with my gals ! We went to celebrate my friend’s birthday and honestly it was such a good time!! The dj played great music, the vibe was amazing and the dance floor is super spacious🤗 perfect for dancing the night away. The energy really picks up around 11/12 pm, the atmosphere gets even better. Totally recommend it if you’re looking for a fun night out in Dublin💃✨

Made reservations and got seated right away! The servers really know their cocktails and gave us great recommendations on what to try according to our taste. The cocktails were delicious and the food was great as well… the atmosphere was very chic and dimly lit, and not noisy at all for the small space.

Not too bad, true speakeasy vibes with secret password and entrance. Creepy back alley that leads you upstairs to a comfortable venue above. Downstairs is the restaurant and the more pub-like sister “speakeasy” (which is not hidden by any means and much louder). Red Elixir 3.5/5 Petite Dejuener 4/5 (better if warmed)

I loved it! Me and 2 friends went for my birthday. It's very small so not many people can fit inside, also very warm, but the temperature adjusted after a little while. My cocktail was okay (I chose the first one on page 14 can't remember the name). The wine we ordered after was great. My tagliatelle pasta with lamb was amazing. Entering was very fun 😂 the trash alley cracked me up. I'll definitely be back!

We absolutely loved it there! We can’t wait to go again. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and interesting cocktails!

What a blast! Every drink was wonderful, and we decided at the last moment to try the desserts too! The food was wonderful! Staff was super efficient and helped us decide with making a choice on cocktails. The casual, cozy vibe with a speakeasy feel. What more to like? We will be back again someday!

“A mysterious little speakeasy, distinguished by its intricate and enigmatic entry system and whimsical décor. With exceptional drinks and remarkable music, it is an experience worthy of your research.”

One of the things that make me the happiest are to try speakeasies in the world wherever I travel. My friend found this one. I reached out via email and the team was very responsive. I had to book in advance for another day. This was hands down the best anticipation and experience ever. You have to book and pay $10/person that they reimburse later. They send you the instructions with the password. The day of you have to follow these instructions. I won’t reveal all of it, but just know you’ll have tons of fun going through it. Servers were in characters and gave us the best experience. Cocktails were great and we enjoyed the ambiance inside. We booked for 1h. When we left, there was this lovely cat that belongs to the place that wanted to be petted. So we obliged. Love loved it.

excellent position in one of Dublin's distinctive alleyways. Quite a spacious and refined location, ideal for business gatherings. kind, attentive, and professional service. We didn't order another round because the beverages' flavour was a little too faint. We enjoyed the chopping board with all of its delicious sauces. Without no doubt, we'll return to try something different.

Visited Zozimus Bar for the Cocktail Week. They had an a smoked old fashioned which was a joy to drink. The bar tender, Tom, was very lovely. He prepared the drink right infront of us and it was an amazing to see! It didn’t seem that busy during the week but I’d recommend reserving a spot here.

Tasty cocktails and pretty good pizzas. The staff were friendly and made the visit enjoyable. The vibe was a bit quiet, and I wasn’t a fan of the music, but the food and drinks made up for it. It’s a nice spot for a casual night out.

Was here for a 4pm bottomless brunch for a hens on Saturday. The quality of the food and the cost was abysmal. The bride to be got the mushroom and spinach toast and ended up puking her ring up from the amount of oil in the food less than two hours after eating and ended up having to leave her own hens night. We don’t believe she had food poisoning just terrible quality food. I was the only person who got the burger which I thought was edible but extremely plain, but the next day I ended up puking and extremely bad diarrhoea for almost two days. The other guests had gotten the club sandwich’s which everyone said was dry, it was edible but not good as we were at a hens getting food into us was very important. McDonald’s would have been a better shout. Between 6 of us it cost almost 265 euro. Everyone agreed the chips were absolutely gorgeous though The service from the lady with medium to short brown hair in pigtails, she was so so so sweet and kind, she was lovely and bubbly but trying to catch her attention was unbelievably difficult especially when you don’t want to be shouting at staff or hollering for their attention when you can see the staff at the POS system directly chatting away. After the bride to be went home sick I went back to complain and spoke to the manager. I am still waiting to hear back but the experience other than the super lovely waitress who served us was just so bad. Would definitely be back here again for drinks but absolutely under no circumstances any of the ladies who attended the bottomless brunch for the hens would be back for the food. I completely understand that things happen sometimes food can be just dry, plain simply not great and there’s no point in complaining as it is what it is but We had booked this place as the reviews overall were amazing and we were sorely let down. The bride to be hens night was completely ruined because of the quality of the food from this venue and I ended up puking and having severe diarrhoea after eating the burger from here. Looking forwards to hear back from the management.

Fantastic spot in the heart of Dublin! The cocktails are creative and beautifully made. The staff are friendly, attentive, and really add to the atmosphere. The decor is stylish and modern, with the umbrellas outside giving it a cool, distinctive vibe. Definitely one of the must-visit bars in Dublin!

An incredible bar with wonderful people working there. The cocktails are very good, and the bartenders' excellent service is evident. We met Uli at the bar, who was very helpful with his recommendations. The food is very good. Highly recommended!

Lovely looking bar, good selection of drinks. Nice to sit out, although hardly any customers so no atmosphere. Sunday afternoon visit, maybe it's busy later in the day

Really enjoyed my evening here. It was beautifully decorated (for Christmas). We got a few bits to share. The tapas was nice, although I would say small portions for the price, especially the prawns but that’s Dublin for you! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. I’ll be back!

Beef cheeks on the menu was a stand out ! Great lil place for a date night. Good selection of wine. Service is fantastic.

Visited on a Wednesday evening and we selected from a midweek value menu. We picked 4 seafood tapas plus patatas and mushrooms. The food arrived promptly and was really good. Loved the scallop especially. Service was impeccable. A great winelist too. There's a lot of competition in Ranelagh among different restaurants and it's good to see the standards here have stayed high. Recommended.

I had a good experience there, we went without reservations and we could have a table there on Friday night for an hour and a half. Staff are polite, great wine selection and tapas were tasty! We got artichokes and mushrooms pintxos and grilled halloumi cheese , the portions size are good. It worth a visit!

David the head bar guy and Ben were absolutely brilliant. David gave myself and my friend Vicky a lovely wine tasting experience and we chose the best Bottle that suited us. He was from start to finish absolutely excellent at his job and friendly and professional. Was great to have the banter and also eat in one of my fave D6 Wine bars. Always a pleasure to come here, and have a five star experience!

Went to have brunch for a birthday. You know what is great? When the vegetarian options are sad and scarce. You know what is even better? When you order an eggs Benedict without the ham (you can't get it replaced with salmon btw) to find little bits of ham under the egg... Ruined the meal and the experience. I'm not sure if they thought I wouldn't notice because I had prosecco. It's also so nice when prosecco gets onto my belongings because people don't know how to pour. Décor is cool though.

Had a great night out with friends here recently. Service is fantastic, food and cocktails were great. We sat outside upstairs on the terrace. Patio heaters kept us nice and warm. Thanks to Sergio and team for looking after us. Looking forward to returning soon.

We stopped by last Friday afternoon whilst in town shopping. firstly I have to say the staff were a joy to interact with, polite and very helpful. as you can imagine for a warm, dry Friday afternoon the watering hole was full of locals and tourists which made for a great atmosphere. The pint of Guinness was very good and not too pricey at €7.20 for the location. It was great for myself and herself to sit at the bar and try to identify the characters in the old photos. I would definitely recommend you drop in for a pint if near by, I will definitely be back soon.

It was a pleasant atmosphere, but people kept smoking in the doorway, which was unpleasant. The bartender kindly asked the two gentlemen twice to move, but they didn't go far. Otherwise, it's a really cool spot for a pint. There is some neat history on the walls to read about.

David is a quintessential Irish Barkeep. Love the history of the Pub and friendly regulars that helped us find our way to lunch. Drinks were delicious and cold.

Nice spot for a pint; definitely more of a local watering hole than a tourist spot which is great. Packed to the gills with patrons, lots of whom seemed to be regulars, so service was a bit rushed. Only downside was my Guinness pint was also a bit rushed and wasn’t the greatest. Still worth a visit!

This bar is a staple location for nights out you never know if it will be a quite chat with friends over a pint or meeting new people leading to new adventure's. However it is more expensive than other bars in the area, I paid a euro to a euro fifty cent more here for the same drinks I hot in another bar less than 4 minutes walk away.

A must stop. Beautiful building friendly locals and good pints.

A small room traditional old pub. I stopped for a Guiness late at noon time. I asked for finger food to pair my beer only to be told that no food is served. Very few people around and much quiet site at this time. A few people were sipping their drinks sitting on stools next to a couple of black barrels in a small yeard at the entrance door. Walls are painted in dark colors and fully covered by pictures and ads signs. I was impressed by the decorative tiles behind the bar! I hope place is more vivid at a later time within the day. If you are fan of the Thin Lizy irish rock group take a photo of the Phil Lynott bronze statue just opposite the pub entrance door.

Dinner excellent. Food had great flavors and wine list was extensive. It was a quiet night and our server was great. Definitely would recommend and looking forward to heading back to sample more wines and have for Duck Gizzards!

Second visit to this wonderful restaurant, recommended by a French friend—and it did not disappoint! Piglet Wine Bar serves the best steak in town, hands down. The hospitality from Thibaut was exceptional—he is an absolute star and made our dining experience truly memorable. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

We were looking for a place to get a quick bite close by the hotel and we found this gem. Excellent service! Amazing food. We had the charcuterie and cheese board. A nice bottle of Chardonay. Plump and sweet scalops wrapped in bacon and Marcona Almonds! I mean. What else do you need?? Great service!!

Great food, great wines. Mostly meat-based as the name would indicate but there are a couple of items that are or could be made meatless. Outdoor seating with heat lamps and an awning when necessary. Knowledgable and helpful staff especially about the wine. On a walking only street, no cars driving next to you. Good view of the theatre school across the street with a beautiful window and clock.

Delicious food (seafood risotto, mussels and crème brûlée 🫶🏻), friendly service and great value. Highly recommend

Superb dinner! Great wine selection! Cozy space! Great service! What more could you ask for?? I had the prawns pil pil which were exquisite. The mushroom risotto was excellent. The presentation of the scallops were was spectacular but tasted ok. The piglet bolognese was yummy! I really liked the chestnut tiramisu. The wine selection was so good. We tried six different kinds and liked all of them. Yay!

Amazing service! One of the best restaurant experiences in Dublin. The team were French, and I felt the French hospitality at its core. Really great selection of wine internationally. The food is delicious, and the mix and match 2/3 dishes work really good.

Awesome place!!! We celebrated a birthday party with a theme. We were in a outside place and we could here the live music from the inside wich was bothering all night our event. I had camaroni rings and they were delicious but veery spicy (I would recommend only if you like it, I didn't knew and I don't do spicy so.. don't be like me and ask! Staff ARE GREAT!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ATTENTION ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Nice pub with indoor, covered outdoor with heaters and outdoor seating. Fried Korean chicken burger is sweet and spicy on a brioche bun. Live music Saturdays at 9:30 and bank holiday Sunday’s at 9pm.

Super nice pub in a small street but close to the main city center. Football watching, great atmosphere, very good service and food beyond what you can expect in a pub. Good variety of drinks. I loved it.

My wife, our dog, and I visited, The Bath Pub this weekend, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely at home. The staff were amazing! Friendly, welcoming, and attentive and the food was excellent. It’s so refreshing to find a Dublin pub that’s genuinely dog-friendly! With a great atmosphere, delicious food, and the football on, we’ve definitely found our new local.

Lively residential pub. Quite a modern feel but still plenty comfortable on the inside. The Pizzas are excellent. I didn't check but feels like they were cooked in a proper pizza oven.

Great atmosphere full of rugby fans heading to the game. Very busy on match days but quick service and good pints. The food is very good too.

Had the pleasure to work here with my events business BLOOM Dublin and the staff and management were an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The venue is just beautiful for small to medium celebrations. Highly recommend

Worth a visit as it does have a very Victorian feel to it. Very nice but standard selection of beers. We only popped in for a Guinness while we waited for our next appointment to come around. Very nice place to people watch and relax. The prices were reasonable for the area.

Over the last few years my wonderful partner has been discovering his Irish roots and reconnecting with his Irish family. On a rainy afternoon in Dublin he was excited to share with me one of Dublins most iconic venues that has played its part in his recent odyssey. Upon entering it’s easy to understand why this historic boozer is a firm favourite with the locals and tourists alike. Obviously Guinness was our ‘tipple of choice’…( Like there’s any other when visiting a Dublin institution such as this! ) However, you have to understand when you order this national beverage in Dublin there are a few rules involved… NEVER drink from your pint until the nectar is settled and 100% black in colour. ALWAYS place your pint on a beer mat. - I got ‘schooled’ twice in a non verbal firm but friendly manner by the barman - Sláinte. The bar is very traditional, brass fittings, long case clocks, gloss paint on the walls and vintage branded paraphernalia returning you to the halcyon days of drinking - without the cigarette smoke. The place filled up quickly with locals, regulars and after work drinkers - a very pleasant time was spent but sadly after a couple of pints of the brilliant ‘black stuff’ we had to make our way back outside into the rain taking advantage of the complimentary umbrellas on offer at the door - which is a super nice touch and very useful. Thank you and see you again soon I hope x

This old library may be better than even the Book of Kells. It’s like you’re walking through a Hollywood movie set. The books are beautiful as is all the beautiful dark woodwork. The old manuscripts are beautiful in the middle is cool. The big spinning globe is cool but is out of place. This is a must see in Dublin.

When I say "food", I mean some of the best pours of Guinness in the Dublin area. Great place. Cool vibe. And some great people behind the bar there to help fix you up with the perfect pint or other liquid libation.

No Beamish! There is a pic from a couple years ago but they apparently switch out stouts. They had Clockwork, which was decent. I specifically came for Beamish (there are plenty bars in Dublin that serve it, was trying to see as many as possible).

À great Dublin bar in the heart of the city, well frequented by local Dubs, if you want to escape the Temple Bar crowds and enjoy some nice drinks in a great Dublin pub then The Long Hall is yer only man !!! (Didn’t rate food as we didn’t have any but they certainly do food, check menu online)

Beautiful historical bar, enjoy your Stout and Pale Ale

Great Central Venue, in Dublin City for music gigs and a few pints! Recommended.

Deceptive from the outside, looks like a normal Irish pub, but inside also has a large open space, kinda ball room meets square dance area. Upstairs is a beer garden and the live music venue. Small, intimate, great for live bands, bit like the 100 Club in London.

Great gig with the Skallis, with Del Bionic, at the Grand Social. Lovely to come up with friends to enjoy Irish Ballads, Ska and Reggae. It’s amazing! From 6 pm to 8 pm each 15 days.

Nice pub, good music, the staff is amazing, very friendly crew. Nice cocktails and lovely creamy Guinness, nice spot for enjoy.

The worst bar I have attended in Dublin. The manager, a rude men with not a good personal hygiene was pointing a lantern into people’s faces, every time he walked by the dance floor. There was enough light (if you knew the place you’ll understand), but he was aiming into people’s eyes and when we complain he said “I am the manager I can get you kicked out”, even though, nothing happened and we were at a private party in one of the big rooms, not the bar itself. Then, he said there were no more cocktails due to “too much order”, when actually 1 bartender was flirting with someone and not paying any attention and the other was just ignoring us. Finally,we order but guess what? After midnight prices rise. That is correct. For 2 gintonic we paid 27€, after the bartender said the bill would be 15€. Is not about the money it’s the scam. So, no. THE WORSE BAR IN THE ISLAND PROBABLY. He runs the places as he runs his personal hygiene and manners. Like he does not care.

First impressions were not great if im honest but it was perfect for the show we seen. Definitely would go again.

I went to the Cruchan gig here. A nice bar. They do a good pint of Guinness! There is smoking areas as well. Upstairs there is lots of space for a gig. It's good that you can move around. There is an outside area too. They also have a good range of drink at the bar!

One of the weirdest experiences I've ever had. Firstly we were looking for a place to grab a drink and a little bite l and we saw this placqe that looked like a restaurant, I thought why not go here. There was a server at the door standing in my way, so I asked her if we could get a table, thinking she was blocking out way because we need to wait to be seated. She then stares at us for a moment before I ask, can I just take that table over there. She then stares a little bit longer then says "yeah". First weird interaction making me not feel very welcome. Next, we take a seat outside because it was nice with the heater on and under cover. We then realised the website to order with wasn't working to order at the table, so we go up to the bar to order because we couldn't find any servers to help us. The bar tender was very awkward to interact with and was confusing. I asked him about ordering food and he said you have to do it at the table but I said none of the staff we're helping me. He said again, order at the table, such a weird interaction. I then got back to the table and after waiting a bit finally a server was able to assist us. We ordered one food item and it was good. It's pretty much the only reason we're giving a two star review because the drinks and food were good. Lastly the final reason this place has left a bad taste in my mouth was about 5-10 minutes after getting out food, they switched off the heaters and removed the awning! We started getting really good and uncomfortable, we left a few minutes after. Even though a couple of people complied about this happen, they didn't do anything to make it more enjoyable. It was almost like the staff wanted us to be uncomfortable and leave? I really liked the look of this place, but the way we were served it was just so uncomfortable and not an enjoyable experience. Can't recommend.

We went there last Sunday. It was a bank holiday Sunday. It was too cramped and loud, but that’s okay. It is a pub and it was busy. We had a Guinness and a cocktail cocktail was the zombie. I was totally disappointed by the way, the server made the cocktail. I wish I could have taken a video, but she did not even pour a full short glass while making the cocktail, I could see the short class was only half to 3/4 full and the way he made it was very clumsy and my cocktail glass was not even full when he served me. This was along with the ice. I would recommend the staff to pay attention in cocktail makings even when it’s busy!! It was expensive as well along with their claim of 40% off on drinks on sundays!!

One of the best brick over pizzas I have had. Sitting in the center of Powerscourt, this busy restaurant checked all the boxes. I loved watching the chefs pumping out pizza after pizza: fascinating! A short detour from Grafton St. Add it to your list of must-visit restaurants.

I can’t believe I’m writing this but I was here on 26th of September for work night out. The staff didn’t check up on us at all. We had to call a waitress over, twice, to our table to take our order after already waiting for 25 minutes. Drinks took 20 minutes to come, food was extremely salty. They didn’t accommodate gluten free options, there was one person at our table that had to eat bruschetta as their entire meal because they wouldn’t accommodate us, to which this person then had to leave the restaurant to get fresh air because of how nauseous she felt after. They also failed to mention about any cross contamination for two people which have nut allergies. The pizza was horrible, oily, soggy and burnt. Overall, do not recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely ridiculous.

7 of us are here at here at the last minute on a Saturday night and it was great. We had no booking and they found room for us. When the pizzas arrived we were blown away by the quality. The tomato base is exceptional and definitely worth experiencing. Great host and the team were very attentive.

Drinks were grate - got a table immediately but only for an hour. Loved the Musik as well. Seating are outside had couches 🤩

Paid good money for a ticketed DJ event, we were like sardines in a can!!! Event was completely oversold, JAM PACKED. Night ruined due to greed. Couldn’t get walk, couldn’t dance, couldn’t get a drink! Wouldn’t recommended anyone to come here To see a DJ.
