McGrath's in Dublin

09/02/2025: I see what you’re saying, but your message could be clearer and more structured. Here’s a refined version: The place is really nice, and the bar staff are friendly. However, I had a negative experience with a hostess (or someone in a similar role). While I was waiting for my friends at a table, she suddenly took a seat without asking. A few minutes later, she approached me and asked how many people I was expecting, as I was holding a table with several seats. I told her we were five, and I mentioned that she took a seat without asking, in a rather rude manner. She then tried to sound ‘friendly’ by suggesting I sit on a bench, but this resulted in an awkward situation. Instead of two people sitting comfortably at the table next to us, we had to squeeze three people in, unintentionally invading the privacy of the couple beside us. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere.

27/01/2025: 5€ pints great way to start the week however though the music is great the atmosphere is a bit lack luster could be improved by splitting the tables from one side of the room to both to increase the odds of craic. Regardless 5€ pints will see me returning. Lovely people. Great pub. 6€ pints now 😔
