The Bridge 1859 in Dublin

Great atmosphere and even better service from Barbara. Thanks for looking after us so well we all had a great evening.

Thanks for the great food and service Barbara!

Went to this place for food. Didn't think bar food could be so good. It was plenty of food. Our servers were lovely. The two girls on front of house really took care of us without us feeling pestered by them. Ensured empty plates were quickly taken and offered drinks at appropriate times. I would definitely go here again. Losing an atmosphere star as the TVs at the front are a bit awkwardly placed. Could do with slightly bigger screens.

Great atmosphere, amazing pints and good food. Barbara was our waitress and she was incredibly nice and attentive. She is pure gold and the place, superb.

The Bridge 1859 in Ballsbridge is one of Dublin’s great pubs, striking the perfect balance between a lively atmosphere and quality dining. The vibe is warm and welcoming, yet vibrant enough to make it a fun spot whether you’re grabbing dinner with friends or catching a match. The service is consistently excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional. The food goes well beyond standard pub fare, with highlights like wings, chowder, fish & chips, hearty burgers, and more refined dishes such as pan-roasted hake. Portions are generous and the value is solid for the quality and the location. Drinks are also a big plus, with fresh tank beer on tap and a good cocktail selection. On busy days, especially when there’s a big game, it can get crowded and the wait for food may be longer, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Overall, The Bridge 1859 is a spot I’d happily return to: great food, excellent service, and one of the best pub experiences in Dublin.

I visited The Bridge 1859 in Dublin during lunchtime. I ordered the spare ribs, which were served with French fries and a Caesar salad. The ribs were tender, flavorful, and of good overall quality. The waiting time for the meal was around half an hour, but it was pleasantly complemented by a local draft beer. The lunch set menu offered a fair balance of price and quality and left a positive impression. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience that I will keep in good memory.

Typical Irish pub with delicious food and burgers.

Perfect spot to grab lunch! Friendly staff with great food options!
