The best restaurants in Dublin

28/10/2025: lovely staff delicious pastries custom made ciabatta

20/10/2025: Could be a lovely spot but on the day the staff ruined it.

12/12/2025: Lovely place to stay hotel is spotless and the staff are really friendly I would highly recommend

08/12/2025: Excellent place And many thanks to Emerson for making everything easy

20/11/2025: Delicious food and great service! This was our last restaurant after traveling around Ireland for 12 days and it was a perfect final dinner!

14/11/2025: After my graduation ceremony, we went to the Liberties Gate Bar, and it was such a lovely experience. I didn’t pay much attention to the interior, but the service and cocktails were genuinely excellent. Our bartender Muhammed Enes Orel made fantastic drinks. I had a Pornstar Martini, which was delicious, and after asking he even explained why it’s served with a prosecco shot on the side. My brother and my boyfriend ordered whiskey-based cocktails (not usually my taste), but they were both absolutely thrilled with theirs. Super friendly service, great drinks, and the perfect place to celebrate a special day.

20/11/2025: I absolutely loved Crowbar during my trip to Dublin. The atmosphere inside was welcoming and the bartenders were friendly. The prices are reasonable. I didn't go to the nightclub section of the bar, but according to a friend, it's pretty good. I recommend it!

02/11/2025: Accidentally spilled my pint after 30 seconds of buying it. Explained the bartender that it was a mistake and asked if maybe she could replace it. Instead she nastly said “you have to pay again, obviously” in a mean manner. Like I understand that but that was not nice to respond in such demeanour, especially the “obviously” part. Other bars would have replaced it for free.

18/11/2025: it’s such a great place. The more you walk into the bar the more you are amazed. Great live music, good prizes, cool dance floor. I think it’s 23+ though…

17/11/2025: Bouncers told me upon arrival it was 23+ me and my mate showed ID were 23 and 25 years old, so they then decided to tell us the place was at full capacity but then allowed people in after us

05/11/2025: Got the Shelbourne Lager. was great and the service was amazing.

23/10/2025: This bar used to be one of the best in Dublin but no longer unfortunately . Staff have a terrible attitude , service is slow and only comes when staff get bored chatting . Drinks quality has deteriorated shockingly even though they are massively expensive . Must be terrible for tourists when they get an “Irish” welcome here , how embarrassing . There are hundreds of better places to go in Dublin and where your custom will be welcome .

10/12/2025: Terrible attitude and service.And the response even got my surname wrong.What happened was I got a phone shoved in my face to show my booking wasn't accepted.A simple no would have been fine.I will be in touch with the Embassy to ask about the behaviour.

16/11/2025: NOT RECOMMENDED! READ UPDATE BELOW. My original review still stands: Simple chicken chop suey with fried rice for 15.50, trays half empty, taste nothing special, overpriced compared to other similar takeaways charging around 10 for larger portions. EDIT – Gave them a second chance after several years. Result: another disappointment. Food: very plain and salty. Some peppers and cabbage in the chop suey tasted not fresh. Fried noodles: I ordered fried noodles, not bean sprouts with a bit of noodles. The ratio was basically 50/50, which makes no sense. Service: No napkins, no chopsticks, no cutlery, no receipt. Just two trays in a paper bag. For a place charging premium prices, this feels careless. Price vs quality: I paid 16.50 this time. For what I got, it’s simply a bad choice. Final score: 1/10. Not recommended.

09/08/2025: What is the point in having a click and collect service if you’re not going to start cooking until i arrive and pay for it? Defeats the whole purpose. Just get rid of it from your website if that’s the case. Said to collect in 15 mins. Waiting the 15 mins for them to cook now. What a joke

09/08/2025: We popped in for breakfast and it was faultless. The staff were so pleasant and unbelievably efficient. The food was delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

08/11/2025: Nice pub not always busy but has great breakfast and lunch very busy on Thursday bingo night always have good music at weekends staff great

28/08/2025: Absolutely amazing place, amazing food and great customer service!

17/10/2025: Very kind and helpful bar man and a nice relaxing atmosphere out of the chaos of the evening traffic, highly recommend this cosy spot even if it's just for a coffee

02/10/2025: This used to be a Club.... Now it's a public bar....

18/10/2025: Toastie was fine but the indoor sitting area is very scruffy and dirty

18/10/2025: Toastie was very nice and a decent price but the inside seating area was very dirty with bird poo on the tables. No effort made to clean it.

14/12/2025: Location was central. Smack in the middle of everything. The room was spacious, clean and guarantees a good night sleep. Tbf, it was a Saturday (7/12/2025-9/12/2025) but we didn’t hear any noise despite facing the main road. Only grouse would be , for the amount paid, as it was indeed winter, the room didn’t have a heater which was rather inconvenient as you’d need to have your sweater on all the time. Otherwise, everything was great, the front desk were really good just a little uncoordinated at times as we got varying information about laundry pick up which meant we couldn’t do laundry because of their misinformation.

12/12/2025: In general, nobody should stay in temple bar. The noise is so bad and in my case my room was towards a side street but some alarm went off and it was going for 1 hour at 3am and despite calling the reception and asking them to get it fixed, they didn’t feel responsible. So I just would advice anyone coming to Dublin to not stay in this area or hotel because even though they give you ear plugs it’s not enough and you won’t survive the night.

11/12/2025: Just home from a 2 night stay with my 4 sisters, it was absolutely a fabulous place to stay,the staff were excellent, always very friendly and accommodating, the bar food was excellent, the gentleman at the front door was very helpful with our suitcases, room was lovely and spotlessly clean,will definitely stay there again, thanks to everyone who made our stay very enjoyable

07/11/2025: Nice hotel. Friendly service! Will stay again.

22/11/2025: Very nice food and good service

22/11/2025: “Had a wonderful experience! The staff was kind, the food was delicious, and everything felt so welcoming. Highly recommended!”
