I love this place! Amazing scotch eggs and black pudding. Whenever I m in Dublin I make a point of taking people here because everything is so good. Have never had a bad experience here, and will definitely keep coming back. Thanks!
Great food. Scotch eggs are a must try. Decent beer menu but only criticism is that the newer interesting beers are always just gone.. Highly recommend however. Great whiskey range.
Friendly staff, good selection of beers... but no Guinness!
Principle simpa with beers proposed according to its menu. Original menu that makes you want, like the lamb burger and goat cheese, but good realization no more. The restaurant room is completely away from the bar, in a very quiet room without music. We were not able to enjoy the live concert which is a shame. The atmosphere of the restaurant was disappointing, go there rather for the pub.
Good fresh food prepared well, selection on the menu could be improved, staff were courteous and attentive
I dislike whiskey but nice little tour, interesting and a nice pace.
Very nice pub in a nice part of Dublin. Food and drink pairing (beer and cider ...). A little expensive.
Great place to drink and eat (very well) in Dublin, in Smithfield area actually. My favorite in town so far. Great place to drink and eat (very well) in Dublin, Smithfield area. Absolutely my favorite among all those tested.
Scotch eggs are DIVINE! Amazing food menu, a gem in this side of the city. Great selection of beers too.
Definitely worth every penny for me. Large selection of whiskey and beer, the food was really very good! Too expensive is rather relative, what is cheap in Dublin? Chicken Kiev, highly recommended, very tender and super delicious. Nearby parking spaces are free on the roadside.
Nice menu friendly staff and good portions. Only negative is that the service can be a little slow.
Best scotch eggs. in. the. world. Bar none Fantastic food
The Pub is darling. I loved the decoration and the menu idea. We didn't have a reservation but the wait was shorter than they said it would be. The food we ordered was delicious. It was probably one of the best meals I had in a restaurant in months. Maybe years. I wish I could still be eating. And for my birthday I want the recipe for the beetroot slaw! Pretty please? It was a little pricier (but we also just spent time in Prague which was pretty cheap...) but we were so full that we couldn't fit in any dessert. I wish I would live closer and could be a regular. And I wish I would drink alcohol and try al their beer recommendations. I am just in love with this pub and the service was great too.
Very good dish of the day, and a selection of craft beers, draft and bottle, plus advice.
Surprisingly good food in a restaurant tucked at the back of the bar. Scotch Egg was delicious, as was the Boar burger. Only let down was the chowder, but not enough to spoli the rest of the dinner.
Awesome selection of food. Menu's are provided in old novels.
I had not a reservation but first person told me was not a problem. 75% of the tables empty but, at 6.30pm, they didnt find a table for 1 person till 9pm and they dont serve dinner (just aperizers) on the counter (completely empty). So I cannot give any review for their food.
Family dinner. Great food, very attentive staff. Victim of its success as it was very busy that night.
Very cool place. Great drinks, the atmosphere and the dishes themselves were very creative.
Bang average food. Brisket(not brisket at all) My meat wagon 2minute walk for what brisket is. Way over priced. Had a main and thought when do we eat. Staff awesome food forget about it
Amazing food, great service, perfect Sunday lunch location if you are into craft beers+classic food
A Grand Place!!, We stopped here for lunch on our weekend trip to Dublin and we weren't disappointed, it's nothing special to look at on the outside or the inside but this place is special it has a certain charm, is very welcoming and the beer, wine and bar snacks and the little touches were very special. The bar staff were all great and we just had a really good time here drinking a few unusual beers and really enjoying the food which was cooked so well, the scotch egg was so good and even the freshly baked bread made a lasting impression !! we will definitely be returning to this place when we're next in Dublin.
We were visiting from the States and made reservations here for our Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone throughly enjoyed their meals and desserts, and the service was great. We had the mushrooms, lamb, and chicken entrees. The desserts were fantastic too!
Went there yesterday without a reservation. They were really helpful and managed to squeeze us in despite being very busy on a Friday evening. Food was absolutely amazing and staff was great, will definitely come back.
Great tasting pub food, some very unique recipes and friendly servers
We walked in off the street without a booking and were pleasantly surprised by the comfy ambient hipster-ish decor and menu. Great food and fantastic service. The beer selection was tops and the soup of the day was delish!
We loved everything about this place. The service was great, everyone was very friendly and helpful. For example, I asked if the waitress could recommend an Irish gin and she brought me a delicious example! Nothing was too much trouble. The decor is great and the music was fab too. It was pretty busy when we left, always a good sign. The food was INCREDIBLE. I don't eat meat so I had a veggie scotch egg and then a celeriac dish. Both were amazing. My friend is a committed meat eater and ordered the meat scotch egg bit decided that mine was even better than his! The flavours in the main meal showed that the chef has an excellent palate. The beetroot was absolutely delicious. In fact, every item on the plate tasted fantastic. The place had a great atmosphere. So delighted we found this gem on our short trip over from England. Thank you for a fantastic lunch.
Great food and drink. Touch on the pricey side but worth it overall.
Food was good, unfortunately the prices, even for Irish standards, a bit too expensive.
We had very high hopes for this pub. Unfortunately our experience was not up to that. The starters were good but our main courses did not deliver.
Such a good gastro pub in a retro/ hipster area of the city! Well worth a visit and I would highly recommend it, it is one of my favorites. If your in the area, I would recommend a pint of Guinness in the cobblestone, don t be deterred by the exterior it is a gem.
Service was poor. There was a mix up with our order and some food was very late coming whereas others sat in front of their food watching it go cold. When I did have the ham hock it was tough and salty. I didn t eat it. Very disappointing.
Good choice of beers and whiskey. The dishes are excellent and the beer recommendations are interesting. To discover.
Very nice place, with excellent quality and service.
Decent food, great beer, staff was very overwhelmed when I was there. Would go back to sit at the bar, for sure.
Friendly,relaxed pub/restaurant with delicious food too. The scotch egg is a real standout!
I visited this place last week with my friends. This pub is within walking distance of the Generator Hostel where we were staying. The menu was written on paper which was put inside books so you had to flip through the bood to read the menu. Original but a bit annoying if you ask me. I ordered the Pork Belly which was absolutely amazing. The meat was very tender and tasty. The vegetables were very good and complemented the meat excellently although there were a bit parsimonious with the vegetables if you asked me. I would definitely recommend this place if you want good food and I will come back here again.
Skip it. It was about 92 degrees in the dining room and the drinks came after the food. Service wasn t much better with us having to wave down our server 15 minutes after we finished our meal. I suppose if the heat was turned down, the fish and chips weren t soggy, and the server made somewhat of an effort I could bump this review up to a 4. As it were, I write based on my own experience.
Food and service here is amazing. Great atmosphere and really really good food, not your traditional pub grub. Highly recommend
Great food, great drinks selection, great atmosphere...sure, it's just great!
Great pub! We got the haddock and a huge pot of moules and frites and everything was delicious. We also ordered dessert but it hadn't come out in a while--when we asked about it, they gave it to us for free! The seasonal crumble with spiced ice cream was amazing, as was the salted caramel sundae. Was visiting Ireland for the first time, and it was a great first meal!
Just ok. The menu has been (essentially) the same since they opened five or six years ago. Far better pubs for food nowadays. The beer selection is good.
Wonderful service!! I think they really like what they do.
So amazing. Great beer selection, ambience, whiskies, food, service - the whole package! Staff are really really friendly and know their whiskies and beers. A must do for any whisky or beer fan.
A laid back vibe with a great selection of beers and wines. Staff are friendly and can offer drink suggestions tailored to your tastes. I just wish there were a few more gluten free options on the menu.
Nice music and especially very good culinary quality. Nice young waiters trying to understand us unhappy French bad in English
Very interesting menu, well executed. Good portion sizes, neither too small not too large. Great presentation and delicious flavour combinations in everything we ordered. Great and extensive beer menu too. Well worth the trip.
Most recent of many visits, lovely food as always but the service was very inefficient (but friendly) ages to take order, one main course arrived far sooner than the others, drinks took far too long to arrive. Having said that they made a different dessert for my fellow diner who misread the menu and expected ice cream not cream in her desset.. but overall it Was a bit disappointing as everything used to be spot on.
The food here is wonderful! Excellent kitchen. They also have a good collection of Whiskey.
First time in town and it wasn't disappointed at all! you won't find a Guinness here but instead you will get a must have black pudding!
Good food and beer selection with helpful staff. Can take away bottles for a bit less than staying in.
Food was great, service was excellent. Amazing selection of craft beers and you should try the scotch eggs!
Great spot to have a drink with friends or with the love of your life. They have a great selection of beers or spirits, no cocktails though. It is a nice warm pub, with friendly staff. All in all, it is quite cozy.
Excellent food, great service, very good beer selection.
Amazing pub food (quite pricy though), lovely beer garden at the back, and good selection of beers and spirits
Tremendous. This is a hidden gem. What a wonderful experience. The food and drink was fantastic and the guys working here are incredible. Enjoy
It's almost a speak easy bar, and a really good one at that! This place is a must for any bar food lover in Dublin!
Nice & exclusive restaurant with a bar. Cosy and friendly in a typically Irish way.
Great selection of beers, both on tap and bottle. Probably one of the better selections in Dublin when it comes to craft beer. Staff was friendly and helpful and the food was ok as well.
Had the trout special. Absolutely excellent! Great staff.
Itbwas slightly overcrowded and although cant blame the effort the staff made the service dropped and they made a few mistakes... they too accountability and made loads of effort to save the night. Food was great and there were celebrities from a film release next door. We got a free drink.served by humble staff ...such as William Jack.Poulter (bad cop in Detroit)
One of the best bars in Dublin for craft beers. Great good too
Awesome scotch eggs and rib eye steak, and nice selection of beers.
A nice cosy front to the pub where we stayed to have a drink. A lot of craft beers and ciders to try.
Food was OK, the 3 different dishes we tasted all tasted the same, it was in the run up to Christmas but still there ate better offerings for the same price available. Service was friendly but a little lacking.
