18/09/2026: Food average no zero zero gxx.no brown sauce

03/09/2026: Lovely food, but cannot recommend the coffee

02/06/2026: Lovely staff! A great cuppa tea

04/10/2026: A firm favorite on the shrinking Dublin gay scene It's a late night bar which is also rare. Get a good seat and watch the world go by. It's dog friendly too . It's transformed during the day to a relaxed front room at home .

29/09/2026: This is a beautiful bar however I had an unnecessarily negative experience with a female bartender when I ordered a Guinness Zero and a regular Guinness and was told they would bring the drink over to the table. I explained that I had just come from another bar and my friend had mixed up our order in the walk from the bar so I felt a bit anxious regarding the non-alcoholic drink and said I would wait to get that from her into my hand so there was no uncertainty. Unfortunately her attitude changed, she became irritated and became huffy, puffy and eye-rolley at my request (which did not put her out in any way whatsoever). Maybe as a bar you might consider putting the non-alcoholic beverages in Zero glasses, rather than in the same Guinness glasses so there is no confusion? It is rather important. Aside from that, a beautiful bar with a lovely atmosphere.

11/10/2026: Food is almost like fastfood not a restaurant quality. Will not go back again.

05/09/2026: We ordered a takeaway, Amazing as always, so fresh!

16/09/2026: Got a take-away roll this afternoon. Felt it was thrown together without even as much as a smile. Bread far from fresh. Will be sticking to SuperValu in future.

30/08/2026: Visited during the Lobster Festival. The lobster rolls from here are better than the street vendors outside because the buns are better. There's sitting upstairs which was convenient. Didn't enjoy the cookie because it was too hard, but that's because I'm still learning the cookies culture of Ireland. Not the bakery's fault.

09/10/2026: ⭐ Excellent Food, Terrible Service and Seriously Misleading Charges The food at Dada was excellent, which makes the extremely disappointing service and questionable billing practices all the more frustrating. Unfortunately, we left feeling misled, rushed and overcharged by over €40. We will not be returning. Our waiter, Orwin, seemed friendly at first, but as the evening progressed, we felt increasingly pressured into unnecessary extras and misled about what we would actually be charged. We had already ordered our meals, yet he continued pushing us to order more. As we were bringing our own drinks, he then suggested that ordering an additional starter costing €15 would cover the situation. We understood this to mean we would not be charged corkage if we ordered the extra starter. However, we were charged corkage anyway, separately for each drink. Had this been explained honestly, we would never have ordered the additional starter, which was practically the size and price of a full meal. We would simply have paid the corkage. Instead, we spent extra money based on what we were led to believe, only to be charged for both. The birthday experience was equally disappointing. We were told that a birthday cake would be complimentary, and it was even indicated as complimentary on the bill, yet the cake was never brought to our table. Then came the water charges. We specifically asked for tap water, staff repeatedly brought extra bottles, without informing us that there would be a charge. We did not drink five bottles, yet we were charged for five. Two full glass bottles were still sitting on the table, and we were charged for those too anyway. In Ireland, tap water is provided free of charge in restaurants, and if bottled water is being supplied and charged for instead, customers are told clearly. Their treatment was very cheeky and misleading overall. On top of all this, there was an additional 12.50÷ charge for a “large group”, despite us being a small group. This felt completely unreasonable and was another unexpected charge that had not been clearly explained and wrongly charged. Between the extra starter, extra corkage, tap water charges and additional wrongly added "large" group charge, we were lied to, ripped off and overcharged over €40 unnecessarily. We trusted the staff and did not scrutinise every line of the bill at the time. Unfortunately, we only realised the extent of the problem when we checked the detailed bill afterwards. We were rushed at the end, with Orwin standing over us waiting for payment, which made us feel uncomfortable and pressured to pay and leave rather than question everything on the spot. The service throughout the meal was also disappointing. Three different staff (2 males + 1 female) members repeatedly asked whether we had finished eating while we still had a table full of food. We were eating mezze-style and trying to enjoy our meal, but the constant interruptions made us feel as though we were being hurried out. Staff even appeared ready to take food away while we were still eating. It was not particularly busy, and there were other empty tables, so there was no obvious reason to rush us like this. The biggest disappointment was not the price itself, but the lack of transparency and the feeling that we were being deliberately upsold and charged for things we had not agreed to. Customers should not have to scrutinise every interaction and every line of a bill to feel confident they are being treated honestly. It is a real shame because the food genuinely was very good. However, excellent food cannot compensate for service that leaves customers feeling deceived, pressured and taken advantage of. Dada needs to look seriously at its customer service, billing transparency and staff practices. Be upfront about charges, respect customers' choices, and allow people to enjoy their meals without constantly pressuring them to order more or leave. You owe us €40! Sadly, what should have been an enjoyable birthday meal turned into a very disappointing experience. We will not be back.

07/10/2026: Amazing people, very attentive to their clients’ needs, going above and beyond to serve them

23/10/2026: We had the lunch menu there for €19.95. The food was very good, as was the atmosphere. There was plenty of space, and we were served very quickly. Everyone was very friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant.

20/10/2026: A great tapas restaurant! Food was delicious especially the lamb skewers and Gambas pill pill Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We got 50% off food on early table which makes it unbelievable value.

15/10/2026: The spicy pork stir-fry was delicious. The Jjamppong wasn't very good... It lacked any spiciness or smoky flavor, so I wouldn't recommend it. They were friendly, but the service was slow. They even forgot to ask for extra plates or napkins, so I had to go get them myself. It was just that kind of minor annoyance.

04/10/2026: We had Korean bbq. Food was delicious. Staff is so friendly.

11/11/2026: Lovely clean and friendly place. Excellent pizza. I highly recommend.

07/11/2026: The wife says really good. She’s hard to please.

28/10/2026: Absolutely love it here. The staff are always so kind to us and the food is absolutely beautiful. The new chef, omg fabulous food and the sauces, wow! 👌 thank you to all of you. You always treat us so well and we really appreciate it. Thank you! ❤️

26/10/2026: Really Nice food Starters (Veg Soup Beautiful) and mains, lovely staff and atmosphere. Only negative would be the desserts, which were just ok.. But would still fully recommend the restaurant.

18/10/2026: Found this place for a late breakfast It’s a place you might not even notice, going inside, seems nice, few people already there. Server was nice, polite and friendly. Open kitchen so we were hoping for a fresh cooked breakfast. It was ok. I had small breakfast my husband had French toast with maple and streaky bacon. He’s bacon was cold, mine too, sausage was over cooked. Like I said it was ok, some clientele were….. “off”. Think it could be better, food fresher, it’s a shame.

12/10/2026: Great coffee shop , we need more like this one that allows animals

04/10/2026: Racism and classism at the entrance by security, they are only admitting meagearly dressed women, so only go if you have zero self respect and are ready to expose yourself to get in.

28/09/2026: We had a lovely cocktail class her on Saturday with Henrik he was friendly, experienced and a really good laugh. The cocktails we made were also delicious. However, this place has gone really down hill. I used to love this place. The back bar where we had our class is filthy we stuck to the carpet and the toilets were stinking or urine and had no lights or toilet roll. The they had issue with the payment which we paid in full a week prior to the class. It's bad guys the whole group thought so. You need to do something with the place it hasn't been touched in years

29/09/2026: Unbelievable food and great prices

18/09/2026: Food is brilliant, service is fine but the main factor is the food is utterly exceptional, never had food that genuinely tastes so good.
