The Dropping Well in Dublin

Staff was super friendly and helpful, you can get there easily by public transport, and the food was absolutely delicious

Lovely place to have a drink, coffee or bite to eat, nice scenery too with nature closeby

Love it. Restaurant food is delicious. Boxer Mahers bar is fantastic. Staff are an absolute delight

I recently had my Birthday party in the Dropping Well, in the Dodder room upstairs. It was perfect!! Trish took care of us the whole night, and was very attentive. Thanks!

Lovely spot for some for some lunch or dinner. Make sure to book a table of you're coming on the weekend, it can get busy. Food was very nice and loved the atmosphere.

Update 7 March 2026. I'm not sure if there has been a change in management but since my first review I've eaten here 3 times and 2 of those dinners weren't great. Just got the gnocchi (tomato) and it was so bland. Very disappointed especially given the price (23e). Pornstar martini tasted premixed and couldn't taste the alcohol. Quality has dipped. It has put me off eating here again. Which is a shame because it"s a lovely setting. First time today we actually sat in and had a meal here. I got the sweet potato gnocchi and had to be one of the nicest meals I've had. My husband got the fish and chips and the batter was lovely a and light. Staff were great and setting is beautiful, can't beat it.

Great venue for food, chat and drinks. Rugby days are great.

Love the quaint vibe of this restaurant located by the Dodder. Extremely cozy and great service. I had the leek potato soup and the green avocado salad - both were amazing. I resisted the fries but I am surely gonna have them next time! Definitely recommend this spot

Very nice breakfast/brunch options available. Great service, lovely staff.

A very typical and pleasant place to spend a good time with friends when it's raining, which it almost always is 😃✌️👍
