Riot in Dublin

Really cool little cocktail bar/ burger bar, quick service and really good burgers, would definitely come again.

Serious hidden gem might be the best smash burger 🍔 ive ever had was amazing surprise no hype around there burgers I’ve had a lot and I reckon this takes top spot

The bartender Misael is a credit to this place

They have good burgers and good beers.

Great location. Me and the lady kept being pulled back into Riot during our week stay in Dublin. Lovely diverse vibe, very quick and qualitative service, good music and clean all around. Loads of negative reviews about people being refused at the door. Security has a job to curate a people and vibe for a bar, so stag parties might (rightfully) be refused along with people who wouldn’t fit in the intended vibe. In a city of Dublin you can’t curate a vibe without a little selection: don’t let that scare you! Lovely place.

Really fun vibe and we had a great time.

Caio is the best, he knows how to treat a customer like no one else.

Genuinely, I can see how hard the staff and security work, and I appreciate the effort they put into keeping the place running smoothly. However, one thing that was disappointing was the pool table area at the back, where there are booth seats for customers. My friends and I were having a great time until people started playing pool. It quickly became an issue because the same players stayed there for long periods, constantly asking customers to move out of the way. It became a nuisance and made the atmosphere uncomfortable. I honestly think the pool table should be closed after 9pm. The interactions between some of the players became heated, and it made the environment far less enjoyable for people who were simply trying to have a drink and spend time with friends. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend sitting in the back area, as you’re likely to be interrupted and told to move repeatedly. At one point, we even asked a player if there was enough room for him, and he became angry and confrontational, even wanting to fight my friend over the space. Customers should have the right to enjoy their seats without feeling intimidated. I also think that after players have had a few games, there should be some limits on how long they can continue using the table. Allowing the same people to dominate the area for hours creates a negative experience for other customers and ultimately harms the establishment by driving people away. Overall, the staff and security do a great job, but the management of the pool table area needs improvement.

Chucky at Dudleys recommended highly. And ai would agree! Wicked vibe

The ambiance needs some updating, but the atmosphere is nice. Very friendly staff, and the burgers are very good! Overall, I recommend it!
