Loose Canon in Dublin

19/01/2026: We ordered a mix of dishes, and every plate felt thoughtfully prepared and comforting. The pan-fried fish was beautifully cooked — crisp skin, tender flesh, and bright flavours from the vegetables and herbs. Simple, fresh, and very well balanced. The burger with chunky chips was proper gastropub comfort food: juicy, rich, and satisfying, with golden wedges that were crisp outside and fluffy inside. The chicken main stood out for its tenderness — juicy meat, seasonal vegetables, and a clean, home-style feel that worked perfectly with the cozy atmosphere. A classic fish & chips delivered exactly what you want: light batter, flaky fish, proper chips, and a creamy sauce on the side. The seafood chowder was warming and generous, full of flavour and perfect for a relaxed evening. The arancini were crisp and indulgent, ideal for sharing, while the salad with cured ham, seeds, and cheese added a fresh, well-balanced note to the table. We also shared sticky chicken wings — rich, glossy, and finger-licking good. Overall, the food matched the atmosphere: comforting, unpretentious, and perfect for a long, cozy dinner with friends. 🍷💬

01/12/2025: We had the steak medium and the chicken. It was incredibly delicious along with this parsnip puree, which was unexpectedly incredible. The service was great. All the food came out 5 star quality. For dessert we had the fudge brownie sundae which matched the quality of the steak. The sauce that came with the steak was soo good I had to pair them. I normally eat steak with no sauce. It was amazing both with and without the sauce. The chicken was moist and not dry. I could keep going but I’ll try to keep this short.
