Oar House in Dublin

Oar House is where we ate in Howth. Close to the DART station and on the pier next to the harbor, we tried the famous Oar House Fish 'N' Chips and the crispy calamari. You can choose between a small or large portion. The calamari was delicious, and the fish and chips were good too, but we found the batter a bit heavy. It wasn't because it was greasy that it tasted good; it was because we weren't used to it. We ate the last piece with the sauces and without the batter, which we set aside. They had a large menu, and it was hard to choose. The place was obviously decorated with nautical motifs, and they even brought a bottle of water to the table without us asking, but they explained that it was tap water and free. The service was very friendly throughout, and the gratuity is included on the bill under the name "Gratuity."

The food was good. The service was also friendly and quick. I really liked the atmosphere.

Very tasty, fresh seafood. We recommend!

The fish and chips were good, but not the best we've had. I was annoyed by the high service charge, which we weren't informed about in advance, and even when we asked, we weren't informed that they could have declined.

The mixed grill was delicious, would definitely recommend it. We absolutely loved the desert, perfect way to end the night.

Stopped in at The Oar House and the fish and chips were hands down the best I’ve had—perfectly crispy batter, fresh fish, and the chips were spot on. The mushy peas and tartar sauce were a great touch too. Cozy spot, friendly service, and right by the water—couldn’t ask for more. If you’re in Howth, this place is a must!

Its not alowed by law to put tips (gratuity) in the bill. I will come back again because the food was very nice, but I will ask for the complaints book.

Everything was delicious, service was great, kind and welcoming!

Seafood was delicious and top notch. The fried seafood and vegetable starter was tasty. Very friendly establishment.

Went with a group of 3, in the afternoon, before a boat tour. We were seated right away, staff was so friendly and upbeat, and food was amazing. Would definitely go back!
