Shanahan's on The Green in Dublin

23/06/2025: The best ribs in Dublin. Great, friendly service. Every year!

10/06/2025: We found this pub completely by chance, simply strolling through Dublin, and looking back, coming in hungry was the best decision of our entire stay. Let me just say this: We didn't just go here once, but twice, because we simply couldn't get the experience out of our heads. It is without a doubt the best pub and restaurant in all of Dublin – and for me personally, probably one of the best places I've ever eaten. On my first visit, I ordered the "Smoked Beef Brisket in BBQ Sauce, Melted Cheese, Garlic Aioli" – and I really have to say: WOW! This burger was an absolute masterpiece. So simple in construction, yet so intense in flavor that you'd almost think you were biting into the eighth wonder of the world. The meat was the highlight: incredibly tender, perfectly cooked, with a smoky note that lingers in your memory for a long time. It literally slid down your esophagus, leaving one flavor explosion after another. As a side dish, I had the sweet potato fries -> crispy, aromatic, simply delicious. I was absolutely thrilled. On my second visit, I couldn't wait to try something new, so I opted for the "Smoked Pulled Pork in Sweet Mustard Sauce with House Pickles." And again: absolute perfection. The meat was once again so tender that you hardly needed to bite it, and the sweet and mustardy sauce harmonized perfectly with the pickles and the soft bun. The burger was incredibly juicy and filling without being heavy on the stomach. This time, I had classic potato fries with it – golden brown, crispy, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. What shouldn't go unmentioned in all of this are the prices. For the quality that comes to your plate, they are truly more than fair. The value for money is absolutely spot on here, and you feel like you've gotten something special for every cent. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the fantastic food, the great service, the cozy atmosphere, and this unforgettable experience. I will never forget this place. When I think of Dublin, I think of this pub, this burger, this enthusiasm. It was a small culinary miracle.
