Loved our dinner experience here. Staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, they gave us good recommendations and we even got to take some bread away with us because I loved it so much! The menu is large and varied, something for everyone. The food was plentiful, worth the money you pay for, it was good quality and served very quickly. The atmosphere was great, we went early evening and managed to get a seat straight away, and it wasn't loud or rowdy - perfect for families. It's up a set of stairs though, so there isn't wheelchair access that we know of. The decor was in keeping with the traditional Irish pub feel. We'll be going back next time we visit Dublin!

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel. The place was packed, and we had to wait a bit, which gave us time to appreciate the decor and atmosphere. What I hadn't noticed at first was how many tourists the restaurant was.
The food was good, but nothing exceptional. We ordered seafood chowder and beef pie. The portions were generous, though!
What really surprised me was the bill. Service wasn't included, and we were asked to leave a tip. Well, it wasn't a tip anymore, it was service... It was the first time I'd seen this in Dublin, and it felt like a practice imported from the United States. Nothing seemed clearly indicated on the menu, or if it was, it was written in such small print that it was easily missed.
In short, it's a very touristy restaurant. Personally, I would advise you to skip it unless you want to eat in the heart of Temple Bar.
A charming pub with delicious food. The service was very friendly and attentive; they even carried our suitcases upstairs for us! 👍

⭐️⭐️⭐️½☆ The Quays Bar Dublin - Temple Bar feels a bit like a tourist trap, but it's a fun and lively spot with a great old-school wooden interior. The staff are very nice and welcoming, making for a great time. Food is a mixed bag: traditional Irish dishes were nice, but things like the fish and chips felt pre-cooked.

Great pub downstair and great restaurant upstairs. You'll find all Irish dishes served, with a great variety of beer and whiskey served downstairs. Highly recommended in Temple Bar area.

Kind of dragged in by a flyering girl while searching for a place to eat. Nice ambience. We were seated promptly by very friendly humorous staff and ordering went very fast. Drinks also arrived quickly and we didn't have to wait long for the food to be served either. The seafood chowder was great and so where the fish&chips and the salmon. Just enough room for a dessert, which was also excellent. This all for reasonable prices. I'd give a 5star review, but as they say, there's always room for improvement.

Loud, open kitchen, friendly service, excellent food. The pint is icy. Great place to try Irish cuisine. Delicious sea food. I was blown away by fluffy potatoes on my cottage pie

A really nice Irish restaurant. The Guiness Stew is quite good here. Comfy place, unfornately very crowded when we got there and the room was too hot, even with ceiling fans on. But the food is great.
