16/05/2026: This place has many choices, and also tastes so good <3. But they put their tapioca or any other toppings, that are made are very small, i always got really few tapiocas.

30/04/2026: Just left the bar with my wife and my kids. A true Irish pub, nice beer, nice pizza a cheaper than the city center. One day we if we are back there, we are going without hesitation in this pub.

17/03/2026: Expensive and crowded but nice music

17/03/2026: This place was fantastic, perfect for the night before Saint Patrick's day parade. Great fun to sing along to classic tunes you love. Everyone is dancing and energy is high.

14/12/2025: Old, cosy traditional pub, with genuinely nice staff (shout out to young dark haired bartender who had the patience of a saint). Great buzzy atmosphere. Will call again!

05/12/2025: The Lord Edward made it onto my “Dublin Pub Crawl” list thanks to a bartender at the Guinness Gravity Bar who swore it had a great pint of Guinness and insisted we check out the upstairs. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the upstairs was closed. Still no idea what is up there or why it was recommended. This is a small pub with a unique bar layout and plenty of age behind it. And by “age,” I mean it has not seen a remodel in a very, very long time. The men’s room is basically just a wall with a drain on the floor (which I found highly amusing), and according to the bartenders, the women’s bathroom used to be a broom closet that was converted once women were allowed into pubs. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how much this place has changed over the years. Very authentic and cool in its own way. We stopped in late on a Thursday night. The crowd was wrapping up, so we managed two rounds before last call. The bartenders signal last call the old school way, by flicking the lights on and off. Gave me a good laugh. As for the pint… it was okay. One bartender knew what he was doing and poured a proper Guinness. The other poured it the way Americans do when they have no idea what they are doing, and he did it consistently. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Lord Edward and got plenty of laughs out of the whole experience. The company was great and the pub absolutely has character. Now, if we can only get that one bartender on board with pouring Guinness correctly… We still want to know what is upstairs.

29/05/2026: I really like this place! 🤩 The sandwiches are great, and the bread is perfectly crispy. 🥪 The service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is wonderful. ✨ My only minor issue was the coffee; it was a bit bitter ☕ keep in mind coffe os the reason we all go to a place and it isn't cheep either.

04/05/2026: Great coffee and sandwiches, always have seasonal specials. Staff were very welcoming and polite. Not cheap but worth the price for the quality. Recommend if near the area

29/04/2026: THE BEST! Booked due to the great reviews and suggestions, and wow - expectations were exceeded! Sharing platter for 2 was amazing, every meat was delicious and juicy. Sides were lovely too. Can’t thank the lovely server and kitchen staff for my partners birthday dessert - and the happy birthday song! Will return on our next visit for sure 🩷

27/04/2026: After visiting here i firmly believe those positive reviews are by those who have consumed copious amounts of alcohol so there observations and senses are greatly compromised. I visited Bison Bar recently, booking it purely because I had received a Press Up / Eclective voucher and saw it listed on their website. Having had consistently great experiences at other venues within that group, I trusted that this would be of a similar standard. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a staff member who was friendly, cheerful, and professional, which created a very positive first impression. However, the service that followed contrasted sharply with this. A different server, with short brown hair, took our order and approached the table with a blunt “What can I get you?” as her opening line, without any greeting. As it was our first time visiting, we had a few reasonable questions about portion sizes and menu options. Her responses were curt and dismissive, and she appeared visibly inconvenienced that she had to answer questions rather than simply take an order and move on. During the meal, I also observed behaviour that I found particularly unprofessional. After serving a nearby table, she removed an empty glass and, as she turned away and walked past us, I clearly saw her roll her eyes in apparent frustration at the customer’s request for another drink. It reinforced the impression that customers were being treated as a nuisance rather than being welcomed. Not long after, her demeanour shifted noticeably, becoming overly upbeat and chatty with other tables. This made me feel that she may have overheard me discussing her behaviour with my partner, or realised that I had seen what she had done. The food was the most disappointing aspect. The tacos were dry, with shells that seemed stale and cracked, and the fillings were lacking in quality. The meat dishes were heavily covered in overly sweet barbecue sauce, which felt like it was masking poor-quality ingredients. Even the sides, including the coleslaw, were unpalatable. We didn’t finish our meal and chose to leave despite still being hungry. Overall, this experience fell far below expectations, particularly given its association with a group known for higher standards. It’s not somewhere I would have chosen independently, and unfortunately it hasn’t lived up to the reputation that led us there in the first place.

14/05/2026: I dream of coming back to eat here. It's delicious.

14/05/2026: Very popular oriental fast food restaurant. It was packed on weekend afternoon with mostly young crowd and also many take away collections. We picked few dishes. Not super cheap but the proportions were decent size. The food was OK.

16/12/2025: Called to see if they would serve me an hour before closing and they hung up without answer

09/11/2025: I got burger with fries but it took like 2.0 minutes and then my food was cold . About the fries it was not fresh at all. About the burger the bread was so soaked and the meat was so tough to chew. Omg the worst meal I’ve ever had 👎👎👎

19/12/2025: The best pub ever I’ve ever been too. To double down on this !! This is the best establishment I’ve ever been too!!! In my friends words ”this place is just a slice of paradise” I can’t exercise enough, this is the best place on planet earth

13/11/2025: Smashing Guinness. Great service. Normal price.

05/06/2026: Everything we excellent. Best boneless chicken wings and Spanish omelette ever!!

02/06/2026: I am regular customer and one of loyal people to elephant and castle but recently management are dragging this place down and down , started by removing many lovely dishes, decreasing portions , remove kids most wanted dish and finally remove chocolate fudge ice cream and replace it with ice cream Really disappointed with this company who manage this brand I usually go weekly for chicken wings but now i am hesitant about coming back
