14/12/2025: Extortionate cancellation policy. Charging 20€ a head for a cancellation just under the 48 hour cancellation period for genuine family reasons. As a frequent customer I will not be back

12/12/2025: I would strongly advise against relying on this place for any special occasion. I had made a reservation for my graduation dinner, received a confirmation, and even had my card details verified. Yet, just a few hours before the reservation time, they called to inform me that they did not have a table for my group. How is that even possible when I had a confirmed booking? What’s the point of taking a reservation if it isn’t respected? They showed very little concern for the importance of the occasion and simply said there was nothing they could do, other than sending me to a “partner” restaurant. Ironically, this partner restaurant was empty… which makes me wonder: Is Sophie’s overbooking and then redirecting guests to a less popular venue owned by the same group? It feels extremely strange and frankly unacceptable, to make a reservation, receive confirmation, wait three days, and then be told there’s no table for you. Such a disappointment. They left me in a very uncomfortable situation, having to find a last-minute reservation on a Saturday night in the city centre of Dublin, almost impossible. Overall, a deeply upsetting experience that truly ruined what was meant to be a special celebration.

08/12/2025: Nice bar, for all hours and ages

03/12/2025: Went in today for a lunch , amazing food so nice and fresh , atmosphere was so comfortable deffo would be back here again very good experience and the prices are reasonable

22/11/2025: Lovely food and excellent service

17/11/2025: The food is very nice, family business done right

12/12/2025: I went with my club to have a big Christmas dinner together, it was so lovely. The staff were so welcoming and kind 🥹🥹 I will definitely be back!

05/12/2025: Hands down the best authentic Chinese in Ireland! The food is so tasty and the portion is big! The service is also super friendly! Love love love!!!

12/12/2024: I prefer the coffee beans from Cool Hand. The milk is sometimes heated too hot and other times it’s too cold. I feel Insomnia is more consistent at my preferred 65 degrees. The music is often too loud. I prefer the volume of the music at Lean Bean. Finally, the owner, I think his name is Simon, is very enthusiastic and tells me to have an AMAZING day. I prefer a quiet Barista.

04/12/2024: The coffee is really excellent but it’s the staff that make this place. Friendly and warm but in a genuine way.

30/08/2025: Very disappointed, very high price, no interest or flavor. Like, €3.30 is impossible for a Happy Hippo donut without filling. So, these guys are selling a simple donut with icing (an industrial decoration) for €3.30. Nonsense. What a rip-off!

21/08/2025: In my opinion, these are the best donuts in Dublin, despite the slightly higher prices compared to the competition. Another big plus is that the shop participates in the Too Good to Go program, so you can pick up a six-pack of donuts for just €6 in the evening, and they still taste great.

15/12/2025: Nice place but the pizza wasnt that good. It was like a frozen oven pizza from a supermarket.

13/12/2025: The Beef & Guinness Pie is definitely worth a try: flavorful, well-cooked, and authentically Irish, one of the best traditional dishes I've tasted in Dublin. The atmosphere is welcoming and typically pub-like. The only downside: as soon as we finished eating, they brought us the bill straight away, leaving us no time to chat or enjoy another beer.

09/11/2025: Nicely situated café with an adjacent park. The cappuccino and espresso tasted fine.

29/10/2025: Fantastic coffee and service, keenly priced and ample parking beside Phoenix Park

20/04/2025: Excellent restaurant. I highly recommend it 👌

21/03/2025: Esta es la segunda vez que he estado en Locks... Siempre iré aquí cuando esté en Dublín. La ubicación en lo que parece ser una zona residencial tranquila cerca de un arroyo o pequeño río es agradable. El restaurante está en un espacio genial y acogedor. El menú no es enorme, pero la comida es deliciosa.

27/10/2025: Went for a sharing group session 🤍 had a lovely time, so cozy.

20/10/2025: A sweet homey atmosphere to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee in

16/12/2025: Just had lunch with my family. Delicious food, great service.

15/12/2025: Get yourself the tofu with mushroom sandwich (and halloumi). It was absolutely CLASS. Best brunch I had during my visit in Ireland.

11/12/2025: When the weather is dreich you need a proper pint in front of a proper fire. This pub delivered.

06/12/2025: Lovely food good chef will call again
