Definitely more of an attraction for tourists, food was good and fresh, the dining space is super tight and basically communal tables by how close you are. Still enjoyed the vegetable and seafood chowder!

Despite having a reservation, they made us wait, so it's more of a first-come, first-served basis. On the other hand, the food was served quickly and was very good. The drinks were also good, like the Kopparberg cider and Rockshore. The Dubliner coddle, despite being a bit pricey, I really enjoyed it, and the fish and chips were good too. Unfortunately, since it's a downtown restaurant, the prices aren't cheap, but for once, it's okay.

Traditional Irish stew: Average. The lamb flavor was a bit strong, and the seasoning wasn't great. It's the kind of dish you'd eat once and wouldn't order again.
My friend's salad was a large bowl, and the taste was just okay.
The chowder was also just average.
Overall, it's a touristy place; the prices are acceptable, but the taste is very average.

Truly remarkable food, a somewhat small but still nice place. The stairs at the entrance might be a problem for those with mobility issues. Overall,
it's a perfect place for those who want to try some Irish cuisine. I tried the lamb shank and it was really good.
My constructive criticism is about the service, but I still give it 5 stars: One of the waiters leaned on my girlfriend's lap while taking our order. They ask for tips directly, and I understand this may be part of their culture.

The flavours were absolutely amazing, and the portions were very generous. We ordered the traditional Irish stew, which came with bread and creamy mashed potatoes; comfort food done right. We also had the lamb shank, which was incredibly succulent and smothered in a rich, delicious gravy, served with mash.
As a local, I’ve always thought of this spot as quite “touristy” because of its Temple Bar location, but it was genuinely worth it. Great food that exceeded expectations and definitely changed my mind.

This is a diamond in the heart of Temple Bar. We went in after being recommended by the owner of the nearby pub “ The Ha’Penny Bridge inn”.
The staff is really polite and the food was very tasty. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, good and fast service despite the large number of guests on a Friday evening. The restrooms could use a renovation though ;-)

It was very touristy and I was hoping for a more authentic pub experience. The food was average but the Guineas was great!!!
