canal boat restaurant in Dublin

Wow! We attended a hen party over the weekend & absolutely everything was perfect. The boat, drinks, sound system & every single member of the crew were AMAZING. We had the best day party & start to the day Thank you

We hosted a hen party here on Saturday for 21 ladies, and it could not have gone better! The team were incredibly accommodating – they allowed us to set up our own decorations and food, and were so helpful with everything from start to finish. We had corkage on some bottles of prosecco for a welcome drink, and the staff went above and beyond making sure everyone’s glasses were always topped up, even when we moved up to the top deck. As we essentially ran an open bar with drink tokens for guests, it was great to see how respectful and honest the staff were – they made everything so easy for us and didn’t take advantage in any way. Another lovely touch was being able to connect our phones via Bluetooth for music, which meant we could play our own playlist on deck and set the perfect atmosphere. The whole experience was honestly the highlight of the day, and all of our guests had an absolute ball. Thank you so much to everyone at the Dublin Canal Boat Restaurant for helping us create such a memorable start to our hen celebrations!

We did this as a team activity for a summer party. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We are a team consisting of 18 - 70 year olds and every one of us loved the experience! Food was delicious, staff were exceptional and the craic going up and down the canal was 10/10! Highly recommend! Thank you Jaya, Dan and the whole team for a great time on board!

Very pleasant evening, amazing food, great staff.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! It was amazing! Seeing the canal boat going through the lock, experiencing the view from the canal, speaking to the crew was such a unique experience. The food was amazing and so were the staff, very friendly. The over all price was 100% worth it. Really enjoyed it!

Great experience and perfect location for a corporate networking event. Such a unique location, every raved about the attentiveness and kindness of the staff and how delicious the canapés were. Jaya was my point of contact and she was excellent to deal with, professional and quick to answer any query throughout. We had to reschedule our event from last year and she was extremely helpful. Hope to visit again!

We were here last weekend for a hen party and it was amazing! Staff were so friendly and helpful and drinks flowing non-stop, we had a great time. Would highly recommend for future events!

Such a fun unique experience with a multi course dinner and a ride through the canal. They had fully stocked bar.

The Canal Boat Restaurant was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was excellent—the food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere on the boat made it truly special. The two-hour dinner cruise takes you along the Grand Canal, even passing through some of the historic lock systems, which was really interesting to see. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something a bit different and memorable!

This restaurant provides an excellent blend of ambience, cuisine, and hospitality. Highly recommended!
