The Jolly Monk in Dublin

Great location prety central to dublin town and just arouns the corner from ha'penny bridge and good prices

Staff were lovely but the place is very grubby

We decided to go for dinner here for some classic pub grub. We were seated quickly and our orders were taken. I opted for the Spicy Chicken Burger with Skin-on Fries. The food was served relatively quickly and the server was friendly enough. The fries weren't great and could have been cooked for longer and seasoned better. The burger was coated well but was very soggy when biting into it and this caused the bun to fall apart. Saying this the meal was filling and meaning it was good portion size. I also got another pint of Guinness which was pulled well. The live music however was really good and I enjoyed listening to him whilst eating and it was not too loud to the point where we weren't able to chat.

This spot is great for a quick lunch during the shopping day. We had great cauliflower soup and Guinness stew. The glass of prosecco could be a little bit colder. :-)
