McGowans of Phibsborough (Cavalier Taverns Ltd) Reviews

Amazing to meet and drink a beer with friends ... I paid 7 euros to enter

Lovely place for food and drinks and to watch sports.. from Leinster Landscaping

Perfect for a night out! Typical Irish pub, super cool!

Can't beat a night here. Well worth taking a trip out

Great Christmas party with great finger food. Caters for large groups

Advertised as late night venue with djs. Told you leave at 21:00 as is a family restaurant.
No customers on arrival I think they are English people running a fake Irish pub

Like it! Always good, any kind of cocktails taste fantastic.

Great vibe, great staff. Big and multiple screens to watch sports. Crowded and fun Fri/Sat nights. I think is a tenner entrance after 10pm those nights. Lot of different ages, so you are not going to feel out-of-place because your age any weekend night.

They used to have the best wings in Dublin. I don't know what happened with them. Hope they get back up

Nothing but bad nights in this place bouncers are unreasonable and drinks are expensive. Every time I've been here I've had a bad night

Music Bingo every Thursday night from 9PM and Sunday Quiz also. Good fun!

Me and my 4 friends were drinking in mcgowans halloween night we got there early they serve me and friends till 9 than when they knew me and my 4 friends were travellers they said we had to leave because me and my friends wasn't knowing there they just painted us with the one brush and have video and will be going further about this for defermation of character

This place should be condemned , what a dive . How this place passes Heath inspection is beyond me .

Door staff extremely rude! This bar thinks of itself as a 5 star pub/club and its far from it. As a none drinker being told by the Door staff that's it's regulars only and they think I've had enough tonight is very offensive and disrespectful. And I think it's also illegal to say that it's and over 20's bar when it's licence says public house.

Was a great place but now they let everyone in. Boys and girls falling all over each other. I saw several people who couldn't even stand they were so drunk and they still get served more drink.

Team night out very accommodating and finger food was excellent

It is a comfy place to chill out, read or have a good chat. I go there regularly. The prices are reasonable and the staff is pleasant.

amazing place with charm Irish pub, the food is good and attention is spectacular, with live music and a fun atmosphere completely.

Had a v meaningful conversation with the love of my life

My friends were visiting us for the first time, so I wanted to spend some special time and we were looking for a place which has good ambience and a bit of peace at the same time so that we don't need to shout on top of our voices. We had a great time and loved the staff there.

Excellent venue for great craic. Lovely food, excellent menu choice. Love this place

Great deals on drinks. Bar food isn t bad. Pumping at the weekends and a real GAA stronghold

Great place to go to finish off a night. Djs can be a bit hit and miss but mostly good tunes. Plenty of taxis around @ the end of the night

Staff are very welcome always enjoy my night great place .

Something for everyone. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Food, dancing, music, sports. So many reasons to visit.

Perfect saturday night experience with true locals :)

Most friendly pub in Dublin and responsible for many a marriage. Frequented by Garda, Doctors, Nurses and Prison Officers so very safe

Wouldn't let one of us in said he was drunk after 2 pints

Clean, good food, drinks and enough room on the dance floor. DJ rocked!

Nice place, party nights are good, loud music.
Although crowded , fine music, but if you enjoy that kind of stuff, it's a great place.

Where every body knows your name! This place does exactly what it says on the tin.
You are guaranteed a good night and the staff/management are on the ball!

Really unfortunate to leave a bad review as I've quite enjoyed some previous experiences here. On the positive side the music was fun and the the Guinness was lovely. However, the service really let the whole meal down. We were waiting an hour and a half before our food arrived. We saw multiple other tables arrive after us and get served before this. To add to things rather than the staff being empathetic/sorry for our wait, they were rude and told us to calm down and not be narky, despite us being nothing but polite. When the food finally arrived it was so-so at best. Also a couple of orders were mixed up/forgotten about. Hoping this was a blip rather than the norm

Great food great drunks great atmosphere will defo be back again!

Great spot for nightlife on the North Side! Brilliant drink deals, lovely helpful staff and a killer dance floor

Great beers and drinks, just songs could be better.

It is very nice to spend weekend nights in this restaurant.

Really old pub. Very busy mostly on weekends. The DJ is really amazing there who plays really quite good songs. Mostly popular for hosting single nights once a month I guess. The entry is free till 11 i guess, after that it's 10 euros (not sure about the exact amount though). It's better to be there before 10 on weekends or else it's quite packed.

Good pub as we like them
To taste a good beer and eat with good small dishes and reasonable prices 35 for 2 beers and 2 plates

Great music, lovely bar and great Westlife after party

LOL they wouldn't let me in. Probably too old. I'll get over it

Good spot for a night out, full of randy aulwans looking for a young lad hahaha

Finished a Christmas staff night out in here. I'm giving it five stars because we had a great end to our night. An ideal spot for culchies on the North side.

Very packed was shocked of how many people are just squashed in the pub .got a bit panicked because of letting so much people in I just felt horrible there .
