28/05/2025: Great food staff excellent food at my father's 85th today bar was spotless clean hats 👒 off to all the chefs 👩‍🍳 and staff all the food was 5 star 🌟 highly recommended well done all

26/04/2025: We had our little girls 2nd birthday party here and it was perfect. Her and her friends had a great time. Jodi looked after everything and made the whole party stress free. Would highly recommend to anyone!

27/03/2025: Had my son’s first birthday at this lovely venue! It is a great place to host a birthday party for your little one because it has a large area that filled with so many toys (and a bouncy castle 😀) to play with. Jodi is very easygoing to deal with from start to finish, we managed to book extra food and drinks for the adult, and we’re also allowed to decorate the place as well😊 We loved this place not only because it is great for kids, but they have a large parking area as well 😊 Definitely a place to consider when you want to celebrate your little one’s birthday.

15/05/2025: What an experience. From the moment we walked in the door we were meet by a welcoming smile service was excellent and food and drinks to match. Highly recommended will be back.

10/05/2025: Stopped by Harkin’s just after finishing the Guinness Storehouse tour – perfect location, only a short walk away. Great spot to enjoy a fresh pint of Guinness and grab a bite. I had the Harkin’s chicken tenders and they were really tasty. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service – definitely a solid choice if you’re in the area!

11/05/2025: We came by chance after leaving the Guinness Storehouse to eat for lunch. We were able to enjoy brunch which was delicious. The servers are adorable and the place is very nice!

07/05/2025: 10/10 recommend! We wanted some good bfast with sweet and savory options - we wanted to try everything on the menu but settled for splitting the French toast, avocado toast and açaí bowl. Everything was delicious! Wish we had time to go back and try more.

05/05/2025: Halfway house from my understanding is popular for its carvery. We decided to go on Sunday in the afternoon to get some carvery and i can say it did not disappoint. Everything in the carvery was delicious and the portions were very good. There choose from turkey , beef and bacon for carvery and lots of veggies with other sides. I think the price is reasonable. The location is not bad but if it’s. busy day you might have to wait for some parking if you are coming with a car. From the looks of it the place has many seats inside and outside. If the weather is lovely then sitting outside is a vibe. I would recommend coming here for some carvery 100% ! We enjoyed it a lot

02/05/2025: Food is the usual standard pub food. Staff are friendly but extremely slow .

24/05/2025: Magic place. Great food, even better coffee lovely people. Nothing but a pleasure.

21/05/2025: Cute and simple place along the river with friendly staff. Coffee is unfortunately really acidic though, even when having asked for the least acidic one. Might also have to do with not knowing the right settings for the marzocco.

27/05/2025: Good selection of pastries. Friendly saleswoman. Nice to have this pastry shop close to home.

21/05/2025: Super cake. Delicious Very tasty! I recommend! You can buy a piece or order the whole cake.

17/05/2025: Dog friendly and nice atmosphere, highly recommend it.

17/05/2025: Great place to have a pint after a hike.

11/05/2025: Visiting Ireland and bartender at another pub sent us to the Waterloo as his kitchen was done serving food on Sunday afternoon. There were 3 other pubs he could have recommended along the way. A solid Irish pub. Delicious food. I had the Irish Stew and my husband had the curry along with Guinness. Friendly staff, great food and of course Guinness in Ireland is better than anywhere else.

04/05/2025: Was in The Waterloo this weekend, Busy as we'd expected because of the rugby, Which we was there for, Bar staff led by Mags I believe her name was excellent, Hardly any wait despite it being busy. Will definitely go again, Food also good. First class.

26/05/2025: The ragu toast is our favorite. Combined with a latte and a granola yogurt, it is the perfect brunch

23/05/2025: My favorite brunch in Dublin.. the food is so rich in flavors! 🩷 and the matcha is amazing, really high quality.

28/05/2025: Absolutely wonderful experience. The sampler platter, spinach phyllo, and prawns were fantastic. Really great if you need a break from the heavier options in Dublin. I walked away feeling full but spry! The waiter seemed to be running the entire restaurant by himself but was still attentive and gave great recommendations! Dark, cozy atmosphere with theme-appropriate music. A must try, in my opinion!

14/05/2025: I want to say that I really received excellent service. I had the most delicious Moroccan food in Dublin. The clean and tidy environment along with the considerate service make me think it deserves five stars.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

04/06/2025: Had starter combo, thali set and chilli momo. Everything was super delicious. Coming back again. Service was very nice, uttam did fantastic job. Ambiance is great. Loved the experience.

04/06/2025: Worst restaurant service experience I ever had.. I went into an empty restaurant around 9:30 evening and staff offered me a table. I ordered Combo platter ,plain naan and mango lassi. The staff replied to me with a disregarded face and said ,it’s a restaurant not a takeaway and I felt so embarrassed after that. He took the order with a reluctant face and came back to me. He said he’s gonna serve me this time but not next time with a similar order.The reason he said was I didn’t ordered any higher price items. I told him that I don’t prefer any curries and he replied to me, ‘that’s not my problem’. Such a negligent management I think having this kind of front end staffs. Food was okay and ambience inside is also okay. I suggest the front end staffs to be a little bit polite and friendly towards the customers.

17/05/2025: Best fish and chips of Dublin! And the most friendly people

02/05/2025: Small take away restaurant; We discovered the restaurant via Google. The owners pointed out the special on Friday, which we gratefully accepted. We had fish & chips, cheeseburgers and Coca Cola. The cheeseburger was world class! Delicious meat, delicious cheese with salad. The fish (we had cod) was a bit thickly breaded but super fresh and melted in your mouth! The staff is also happy to serve vinegar and ketchup and mayonnaise. All in all, definitely recommended. We'll stop by again on our return journey.

08/05/2025: A free museum offering free guided tours. The collections are beautifully presented and allow visitors to discover Ireland's rich history.

07/05/2025: Free- just walk in, tho €5 suggested donation. Archaeology museum had lots of artefacts from stone age through Roman times... Lots of gold and items preserved by burial in bogs

19/05/2025: The food here is amazing, so tasty and flavourful. Definitely the best Indian food in dun loaghaire. Portions are huge, great value for your money. Vinod is a lovely man will take your order, and is so patient. Gives great recommendations and puts the customer first!

16/05/2025: Best Indian food in our area, thank you! Aileen and Greg
