19/07/2026: An absolutely beautiful environment. The ideal traditional pub experience in Dublin.

17/07/2026: There is no food served here and there are no TV’s. Not sure about music. It’s a place to go to for either a chat with mates or time on your own. Great pint of G here. Class Irish pub.

25/12/2025: Really poor service for a second time at this branch, last time we ate here the waiter left the food on the table with a grunt and no explanation of what the dish was or who it was for. This time it was a take away order with the staff member completely ignoring our presence for several minutes whilst they continue to wash dishes at the counter. Never again. Do better.

25/12/2025: Saltier broth in comparison to others but overall it is really good.

14/07/2026: Excellent pizza, very similar to Neapolitan pizza. Fair prices.

03/08/2026: Amazing!! If you're in Dublin and don't know where to eat, stop by SMOKIN BONES, they offer several truly excellent dishes at reasonable prices! 5 stars, well deserved!! 😎👍👍👍

21/07/2026: Corn ribs and pork belly starters were outstanding! Really surprised by both, the rub on the corn ribs was delicious!! It started off the meal on a great note. I had the ranch salad, slightly disappointed by this the mozzarella wasn't mozzarella typically put in a salad more grated mozzarella and the lettuce had been washed to remove dressing which left the leaves wet. However, the ribs my partner had were delicious and his onion ring and fries sides were tasty. Great service with an attentive waiter and quick food, would definitely return and recommend.

24/10/2025: During my stay in Dublin I had breakfast here twice since I loved the first one so much. Staff is super friendly and the food is really tasty. I had the bagel with salmon twice, I loved it and still think about it.

29/06/2026: There are pubs, and then there are places that seem to exist outside of time, quietly collecting characters, conversations, and perfectly poured pints. M. O’Brien’s is one of those rare places. I wandered in because my hotel was just around the corner. Convenience got me through the door. The atmosphere kept pulling me back. The room is comfortably compact, with small wooden tables that almost force you into conversation. Before long, the people at the next table aren’t strangers anymore. Every person seems to have a story, and every story somehow gets funnier with a pint in hand. Speaking of pints, the Guinness deserves its own standing ovation. This wasn’t just a Guinness. It was a masterpiece of patience. The slow pour, the creamy head sitting proudly on top, the glass looking almost too perfect to touch. The first sip erased every disappointing pint I’d ever had elsewhere. Rich, velvety, impossibly smooth. If Dublin had an official handshake, this would be it. The bar is the heartbeat of the place. Locals lean in with easy smiles, bartenders know exactly how to keep the room humming, and laughter never seems to stop. Not loud, manufactured laughter, but the kind that comes from old friends, good timing, and another round arriving just when it should. There wasn’t a trace of tourist theater here. Nobody was trying to put on a show. The welcome was genuine, effortless, and unmistakably Irish. Within minutes I felt less like someone passing through and more like someone who had been expected all along. After long days photographing some of Ireland’s finest golf courses, it became my nightly refuge. A short walk from the hotel, a flawless Guinness waiting at the bar, and a room full of people reminding me that the best part of travel is rarely the landmarks. It’s the conversations you never planned to have. The great discoveries aren’t always found at the end of the road. Sometimes they’re just around the corner, hiding behind a perfectly poured Guinness and a room full of people who make you feel like you’ve been coming there for years.

10/05/2026: Always great service here. Lovely pub.
