Butcher Grill in Dublin

21/01/2026: We tried this pub because we were staying in the B&B upstairs. The rooms were decent, perhaps a little cold, but overall good value. On a positive note: the location. Super central and very close to Trinity College. However, the pub disappointed us. Even though the kitchen closed at 9:30 PM, at 9 PM we were told the kitchen was closing and to hurry up and order. The staff weren't particularly friendly. The food wasn't anything special: we ordered beef stew and it was a kind of minestrone soup, runny and full of vegetables. There are definitely better pubs out there!

12/01/2026: In my experience, this restaurant is one of the best in Dublin for typical Irish food, and at a comparatively reasonable price. The quality of the dishes was outstanding. I went there two days in a row and was completely satisfied each time. The service is incredibly friendly and fast. And the beer, of course, is also very good. If it hadn't been closed the following Sunday, I would have gone a third time. The atmosphere and decor are simply wonderful and inviting, perfect for lingering, eating, and drinking. If I visit Dublin again, I will definitely go there again. Plus, it's located right next to Trinity College and not far from Temple Bar.
