The best restaurants in Dublin

24/07/2026: Genuinely a great spot, the city felt the loss when the original location closed but the new location is just as good if not better. None of its character or atmosphere was lost in the move of the location. All the games on site will bring back pure nostalgia for anyone who has even dabbled in arcade/home gaming in their youth. If you want to get on the wall of fame you better bring your A game though!

24/07/2026: Staff were lovely and a great atmosphere and choice of games in the place

03/07/2026: Really nice atmosphere, lovely team and the food was delicious

26/06/2026: Had a lovely time with my partner for our anniversary prior to our date at the theatre. The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. We tried a few cocktails when we arrived which were very (good) different to say the least as well as a glass of white to pair with the Scallops and oysters that we started off with along with a lovely red for our mains. We will be back again and would maybe try out the bar area too. Thank you to the lovely lady who served us and made our night one to remember.

18/07/2026: Went yesterday for dinner with my family. Nice staff and food.

28/06/2026: I will say this is partly my fault as i didn't complain Visited the black lion inn on a Saturday at lunch time for a dinner was served fast by lovely staff ordered a beef dinner the dinner arrived with plenty on the plate proceeded to eat food to discover the food was cold and so was the plate as i said partly my fault for not complaining as I was in a hurry back to work but would be nice to eat a hot dinner

06/06/2026: Disappointing food, so overpriced - total ripoff, unfriendly unhelpful staff. Really, give this place a skip.

28/04/2026: Went yesterday for a walk with the family and our dog. We stopped in here for a coffee, which was exceptional. They have water access for dogs and id like to say thanks to the gentlemen who I think was the manager, he came out with ham for the dog. Great services and staff. Definitely recommend:)

28/10/2025: Love the goat meat pepper and gizdodo combo, awesome

16/10/2025: The best african restaurant in Ireland

19/10/2025: Traditional Irish pub. Friendly staff.

18/10/2025: Fantastic pints of stout. Proper pub.

28/06/2026: We had such a lovely experience here thanks to our waitress Dee. We were two families dining together with four kids, and she was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive the whole time. Nothing felt like too much trouble for her, and she made us all feel very welcome. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was with the children — she even offered steamed vegetables for the baby without us having to ask, which was such a caring touch and very appreciated. The service was warm, friendly, and genuine, and it made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was amazing, each course very delicious! Thank you all for looking after us so well!

15/03/2026: The food was delicious, the staff lovely. Thank you for this wonderful experience, I highly recommend it!

05/05/2026: Lovely little spot for a few pints. Always show the sporting events on multiple TV's. Good atmosphere, nice clientèle and outstanding pints and service. Bar workers are really nice people too. There's Some cool photos around the pub that brings you back in time. Coming back soon with my nephew who likes to watch Liverpool whenever they're playing.

05/05/2026: Really Love a relaxing beer in the sheds. Nice people and nice pints. They have a smoking area out back too with heaters, which is great! Been coming here once a week since I've found this wonder of a bar. Wanted to give 5 stars for food but they don't serve any. They do have crisps, bacon fries, scampi fries, peanuts etc. My friend has developed a bit of an addiction to Nobbys Nuts which have become very popular recently. I've no doubt if they did have food it would be top notch just like the beverages. As is the buz around the place, positive, chilled, great people, love coming here with the girls after work ♥

26/07/2026: Absolutely disgraceful customer service. I have been a loyal customer for a long time, yet I was treated with complete disrespect by Erick. He attempted to overcharge me, and when I questioned the price, instead of explaining it professionally, he rudely told me to leave if I didn’t like it. To make matters even worse, this is the second Friday this month that I’ve gone to the restaurant at around 1:30 a.m. and been refused the opportunity to eat inside. When I politely asked why, Erick simply claimed it was “restaurant policy.” I respectfully asked him to show me that policy, but he refused and dismissively told me it was “not my problem.” A business that values its customers should never allow employees to behave this way. The combination of rude treatment, lack of transparency, and complete disregard for customer service is unacceptable. If this is how regular customers are treated, I can only imagine the experience for first-time visitors. Management seriously needs to address this behavior before more customers decide to take their business elsewhere.

15/07/2026: A place to eat Mexican-style food. You can choose from different meats and ingredients. Very friendly staff who spoke to us in Spanish. Prices are listed on Maps and are outdated, but everything was fine.

16/07/2026: Cute little crêpe place, on the royal canal, with outdoor seating.

04/07/2026: Really good service and very tasty

19/01/2026: Sadly it is closing down after 33 wonderful years....great people a huge loss to the local and community

03/12/2025: Food was nice but nothing spectacular. Extremely overpriced.

23/05/2026: Indian food was simply fine, but there are far better options out there. The £3 cash‑only discount felt questionable and the overall experience didn’t justify a return visit.

09/04/2026: Lovely food that was ‘hoovered’ by all my guests A great takeaway

01/11/2025: I absolutely do not recommend it. I returned to this pub after years. I had eaten here several times years ago and found the food excellent. Things have definitely changed now. I ordered a Guinness stew, which turned out to be a lentil, mushroom, and carrot soup. The meat was practically nonexistent. From the way they used spices, it's clear that whoever prepares the dishes doesn't know the flavors of Irish cuisine. I couldn't eat it. Stop for a drink if you like, but for food, go elsewhere!

26/10/2025: Nice Pub ambience, cool Irish musics. Cheers...

24/07/2026: Amazing place as always! Adnan's your man for the service!

23/07/2026: Exquisite lamb. Every bite, from start to finish, was a blur of nothingness. Amazing.

23/07/2026: First time being here today with my partner! The food and coffee were soooo delicious. Really gorgeous and fresh. Staff were lovely as well. I'll definitely be back ❤️

30/06/2026: 1st time in this Cafe this morning and it was honestly the nicest breakfast and coffee I've had in ages. Toasted sourdough and poached eggs were 10/10 and coffee was gorgeous too. Staff were so friendly too. I'll be back definitely.
