Great pub with an amazing atmosphere and really good music. The place feels lively and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a drink with friends and soaking up the local vibe.
A special mention to the waitress, Marina, who was incredibly kind and attentive. She made us feel very welcome and definitely added to the overall experience.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a pub with good energy, great music, and friendly service.

Fabulous place for the first stop of our Dublin visit! Marina and Layla were fabulous and made sure we had everything we needed for a great experience. We had the Seafood pie, Beef & Guinness pie, and Loaded potato skins. All delicious (and filling before a night of drinking). Anytime, any day this is a fun place to be!

I highly recommend this bar and restaurant. The food is very good, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service is very professional. We were a group of six people and were very well attended to by the Brazilian waitress Marina, who was very polite and attentive.

Really lovely pub with great atmosphere and nice live music and not as busy as the main pubs in Temple Bar. Staff were really friendly welcoming you at the door and finding seats! Funny that Christmas decorations were still
up mid Jan, but they keep them up until St Patrick’s Day so everyone gets to experience the cosy ambience for longer! Shout out to Marina for looking after us, would definitely recommend 😊

Cracking Irish bar with fantastic live music and one of the best pints of Guinness around. The atmosphere is lively without being chaotic, the musicians really know how to work the crowd, and the Guinness is perfectly poured — creamy, cold, and exactly how it should be. A great spot for a proper Irish night out. Will definitely be back! Marina is the Best Brazilian waitress!!
