The best restaurants in Dublin

14/05/2025: Even though the restaurant was quiet tonight, the service was incredibly slow and getting staff attention was difficult. One meal from our table of three was forgotten. It took 15 minutes after the other meals arrived to alert a waiter. We were simply told the order had been put through, with no prior acknowledgement of the error, no explanation for the delay, and no apology offered. To make matters worse, it felt as though our table was actively avoided by the staff for the remainder of the evening. This was just such poor service.

12/05/2025: Location & Access: Located in the heart of Dublin city centre, this multi-level pub is easily accessible from all parts of the city via public transport. Its central location makes it a convenient and popular choice for both locals and visitors. Ambience & Space: The pub delivers a classic Irish pub atmosphere. The second and third floors offer great views of the bustling street below, and on the third floor, you can even catch a glimpse of the beer brewing setup, which adds a cool, behind-the-scenes vibe. There’s also a coin-operated phone charging station on the ground floor—handy for longer visits. Menu & Drinks: The pub serves a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, alongside a food menu that includes chicken wings, soups, fries, and more. What truly sets this place apart is its unique selection of craft beers. Their fruity and sour varieties are particularly noteworthy—the “salad beer” and passion fruit beer are personal favorites, offering rare flavors you don’t often find in other Dublin pubs. They also stock a wide variety of bottled beers, spirits, and house specials, catering to many tastes. Cleanliness & Facilities: The venue is well-maintained and clean across all floors, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Staff & Service: While staff are generally competent, there's room for improvement in terms of professionalism and attentiveness. At times, clients may be left waiting. The customer service approach could be warmer and more engaging. Pricing: Prices are fair and reasonable, especially considering the variety of craft options and the central location. Final Thoughts: I’ve visited this pub several times and plan to return—mainly for their unique beer offerings. It's a great spot if you're exploring Dublin city centre and want to try something new in a relaxed, multi-floor setting.

13/05/2025: I was there for brunch and it was perfectly wonderful. I loved the meat free options and the sustainable produce and sourcing without making a song and dance about it. I think that’s important because the message is - that’s normal eating, and anything different isn’t good eating. Loved it!

10/05/2025: I had a fantastic experience at Dosa Dosa Chef Raja's cooking was outstanding — the kothu parotta he prepared was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The spices were just right, and the dish had that authentic touch that made it unforgettable. Highly recommend this place if you're craving delicious South Indian food. Will definitely be coming back!

02/05/2025: I was looking for a vegetarian version of a shepherds pie and I found Sheehan’s Vegetarian Cottage Pie. It was fantastic.
