The best restaurants

12/07/2025: Expensive food and rude staff. Terrible place I wouldn’t recommend it.

10/07/2025: Good clean bathrooms and charming little cafe. Souvenir shop left us wanting, though the pottery was nice. Cafeteria style restaurant.

26/04/2025: Spice bag was lovely, very big portion, great value. Delivery for me was quick ordered Friday night and was with me in 30 to 35 minutes.

22/02/2025: Originally posted 11 months ago March 24...Food is lovely, but the last few times delivery is taking over an hour. There are closer places in the town I could get from but prefer here, but the length of time delivery takes is starting to put me off, might me something they need to look at. Update Feb 25... Every week the service is getting longer and longer, unfortunately tonight was the breaking point.. over 2 hours for a delivery that cost €50.. it's been the same the last few times and everytime you ring a girl says 'oh he's on his way' that's literally the explanation.. The food is unreal but unfortunately tonight the lack of service lost them a customer.. Back to Hons in Kildare town where they can deliver the food while your hungry...

23/07/2025: Preheat food this place serves.

13/07/2025: got a whopper ( looked like it was slapped together ) and nice Oreo shake. Dirty unkempt tablets, even though it wasn't busy.

01/06/2025: I am giving 1 star because it is the least you can give, the cinema os very dirty, smelly, it looks like no one cleaned it for a while, there is soo many better cinemas in Dublin, this one is the worst

01/06/2025: Very messy and very dirty and smelly

08/06/2025: Preferred locals than those from further afield. Definitely felt descriminated on multiple occasions here

19/03/2025: Great place had 3 great nights well I was in Ireland so good will b coming back great atmosphere too great people too see u all soon 💚💚💚🇨🇮

13/06/2025: Great little spot highly recommended 👌

13/05/2025: Me and my girlfriend were pasting by this coffee shop with our doggies on a warm day and the gentlemen working there came out and made sure the dogs had water and gave them a little treat - gent!! I came back today to get my girlfriend their kinder oats which I usually buy from a different place but after there customer service I gave it a shot - she said it was the nicest ones she’s had so far. They added fresh fruit on top and it you can tell it’s all fresh 🙌🏻 two new customers thanks lads 👌🏻 will be back to try the sandwiches.

23/07/2025: What a brilliant atmosphere, unbelievabley friendly service from Stanislav made us feel right at home! Accidental pit stop on the walk into the city and came back again on our way out. Hight recommend.

28/06/2025: I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I felt compelled to do so after having the misfortune of visiting this place. The bar itself is really visually appealing but I must say I have never encountered a ruder, colder set of staff in all my years. It was our second bar in Dublin, (with the first one being welcoming, generous and kind) and what a negative impression it left. We queued at the bar for no less than 20 minutes while it wasn’t that busy. The bar staff decided for whatever reason that we were not worth serving to the point that people who were stranding behind us in the queue moved to another section of the bar and were served instantly. In what is a very out of character move for us we felt we had to say something as they consistently ignored us and once they started serving maybe the tenth person who was clearly after us at the bar. A youngish black guy eventually served us as we said “we’ve been standing her for 20 minutes and we were here long before these people” and I have to say he was the rudest most unpleasant person I’ve ever had serve me a drink. He looked at us as if we were nothing and as if it was a chore to serve us a drink. As someone who has managed people for more than 15 years I have to say that I would be ashamed if any of my team members ever acted like this with our customers. This was a disgustingly poor level of customer service provided by these people. If they hate customers so much there should really be a question asked as to why they work in customer facing roles. Finally I need to point out that we were completely sober, well dressed and respectful group and this really put a downer on our day - having felt looked down upon and disrespected. My final message is that if you see us please do not support this business until they completely revamp their approach to the people who want to spend their hard money in their premises. An utterly vile experience.

21/04/2025: Service are bad and staff not friendly ((((. Coffee is also not great (((

18/07/2025: Very friendly. We spilled our coffee and got a free replacement.

01/07/2025: If you say you close at 17:00 but I show up at 16:45 and the door is locked with the guy behind the counter ignoring me, then why not just say you close at 16:45 and save everybody some time. I get it if you need to clean the machines, but I just wanted a bag of beans.

02/08/2025: Coffee chain spot with public WiFi and plenty of indoor seating including outlets. Good work spot if you’re being a laptop/tablet. Decent coffee and food. Close to local shops. Street parking available.

24/03/2025: Certainly! Here's a review you can use: --- I have been a regular at Insomnia Newbridge for a long time, visiting almost daily with friends and our dog. The manager has always been fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always accommodating, making the café a great place to relax. However, in the past few days, there seems to be a new supervisor who has made us feel extremely uncomfortable. Their attitude is unwelcoming, and the warm atmosphere we always loved has completely changed. Despite the manager always allowing dogs inside, this new supervisor has suddenly made an issue of it, which feels unnecessary and unfair. We haven’t seen the manager lately, and honestly, it’s disappointing to feel unwelcome in a place we’ve enjoyed for so long. I really hope things go back to the way they were, as this café has always been a staple for us in Newbridge.

03/08/2025: Spent some time in galway for the races.. everything was great but also expensive... Went into Kennedy's for a beer and the young barman with long hair and beard asked me and my two friends did we want cocaine, ive reported this to the Garda, also I think he was drunk or hungover because you could smell it off him.. galway was great but I wouldn't recommend here

03/08/2025: A man's pub , who genuinely like their horse racing and Guinness .

19/06/2025: Frozen chips....curry that tasted like a veg soup....just don't do it...please...

12/04/2025: Food has gone downhill a lot I’d have to be drunk to order from here again.

12/06/2025: Take out service mostly. Good food, fast service, some small communication issues

07/06/2025: Amazing food with good variety of protein and salad portions. The staffs are super friendly and attentive. Overall satisfied!

07/07/2025: Coffee, staff etc good; but the huge question; why you leaving one girl inside the coffeeshop while it’s a lot people around. Two person and me left because we can not wait so long :(

18/04/2025: I visited kildare village a couple of weeks ago and got a coffee from the little hut/coffee van down at the end near the water feature I didn't catch the girls name but she was so incredibly nice good chat friendly and the coffee was fab. I had visited another coffee doc area the week previously (not butlers) and it's was a desperate experience. Butlers will be my go to going forward.

09/07/2025: Made an order for delivery. Food arrived cold. Half the food was missing from the order. Asked for no mayo in the burger but it instead came with a hair in it. Should have specified that I didn’t want that either. My fault.

04/05/2025: Always the best burger. Every time I come back to this town I always get their burger. The servers are great, they were really kind to fix my order. I always like Brioche Bun. I wish they start giving options to select the type of bun.
