The Rolling Donut 55 South King Street, Dublin Ireland in Dublin

20/08/2026: Pros:- Great pub food but the standard evening menu has become a bit limited in recent times which is a pity. It has also increased recently very significantly in price and is not good value and quality has dimished. An example is the cost of fish and chips which is now €22 less five cents for pub grub and "canteen" quality. This is even dearer than the local hotel. They do sometimes have evening specials which the serving staff will advise you about. Carvery meals when available (midday to early afternoon) are really excellent and generous and slightly cheaper during weekdays. Cons:- Avoid always crowded Friday, Saturday evenings and indeed some Sundays (depending on sporting events) when it can become just a drink emporium. There can be unexpected unbelievably noisy customer groups also on other days which makes normal conversation impossible - the management accept this and do not intervene no matter how loud they get. Not a good pub for a quiet drink. Staff seen to have a "push" directive on selling drink, While drinking one pint I was asked six times if I wanted another pint, several times by the same staff member. However a good local hosteler.
