Not the most quintessential Irish pub atmosphere, but still good and popular locally. Walked in around 20:00 for a late dinner and the place was still fairly full during a midweek evening. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. Satisfied with our dinner. The mixed berry pavlova was a nice dessert after a busy day!

Chicken wings were ok, but that dessert they calling “Berry Pavlova” terrible. Pice of meringue with one sliced strawberry and some strawberry sauce, not worthy to eat and waste money

Nice place. I'd be more inclined to go here for food over a drink. Not very cozy. But good pub grub. Older crowd, good service.

Had a fabulous lunch on their rooftop terrace. Food was lovely. Gorgeous mussels. Service was incredible! We were the only people on the terrace and Simon, the bar man was up and down checking on us several times. Our first visit in Duffy’s but will definitely be back.

Been living in Malahide my whole life and have had numerous family events in Duffys, my favourite pub and always has been. However, I was here on Sunday 2nd March with my best friend and her partner, and my 4 month old son.
Our first encounter was when the manager (or at least he tried to act like a manager, and a micro one at that, I think his name was Ray) was absolutely horrible to one of the young part time girls who was probably still in school. She was attempting to make a coffee for a customer, and he came over to her and said something along the lines of “if THAT was served to you, would YOU drink it?” And got rid of it. She looked noticeably upset and belittled and understandably disheartened. Myself and my friend, both being in the hospitality sector, called her over and told her she was doing great and we appreciated her service.
This “manager” once or twice kept butting into our conversation , and at one stage commented on my baby, who was smiling away at everyone, “my baby is cuter”
Finally as I was leaving, my son was a bit unsettled due to teething, and had started crying , and again another comment “oh you’re a terrible woman dragging a man out of the pub”
This gentleman needs a strict talking to, and should know perfectly well, especially if he IS in a managerial position, to NOT belittle and talk down to his colleagues in front of customers. And if you are to criticise, do it in private, and constructively, instead of making them feel awful. That poor girl, was clearly learning and didn’t need someone like that hovering over her in such a disheartening and discouraging manner.
In all my years of coming to Duffys, whose staff are always incredible, I’ve never come across someone like this. Other than that, the food, atmosphere and service from other staff was amazing as usual
