The best restaurants in Dublin

28/09/2026: Ordered an espresso martini and a margarita at the bar and the bartender rolled his eyes at us. We had to keep our eyes on him to make sure he didn’t spit in our drink. Customer suggestion: If cocktails take too much effort for your establishment then perhaps you should consider taking it off the menu.

19/09/2026: Waited at the bar as the bartender talked people at the bar and continued to do glasses. He then served someone who arrived at the bar after me a pint of Heineken. He told me to wait a moment and continued to do glasses as he told me to continue to wait to order as he put glasses back from the dishwasher. He then left the bar empty with myself and another waiting to order. When he came back he ignored us and continued chatting with the initial group at the bar gathering more glasses to to place back on the bar. On a Friday night at 9 o'clock to not be ready to take orders in a bar is awful to be frank. We waited 5 minutes with no one ordering for no service whatsoever. I don't know what the management is like in this bar to allow this service. It is non existent and as far from what an Irish bar experience should be anywhere in the world never mind on the corner of the capital in temple bar. You are shaming Irish hospitality and an entire industry that the area relys on with this behavior.

12/09/2026: Atmosphere inside is nice and service is quick but as I was standing outside an older man who looked like a bouncer/security guard shoved me out of the way. Did not attempt to apologize or anything. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

03/09/2026: Shocking Guinness. Bar staff obviously havent a clue.

27/09/2026: Really busy but a great pitstop for hot choc

09/09/2026: I really enjoy Butler’s Chocolate Cafe. I use their app regularly, and every 10th coffee is free, which is a great bonus. My favorite touch is that you get a free chocolate with every coffee. Their mocha is excellent, rich and satisfying. They also offer a nice variety of chocolates for gifting. It’s become one of my go to spots.

12/08/2026: Cant complain good food quiet place in the morning come see by yourself

02/08/2026: the best scrambled eggs ever ,everything served piping hot definitely worth a visit

06/10/2026: The stuff down stairs it’s a bit abusers. Depending of how you look (drunk or not) they abuse of the price, selling you drinks of €4 in €10 And if you catch them, they will acc like “it was a mistake” but it’s just a way to get tips without your concert.

04/10/2026: The waitress Anet was perfect and very attentive! Great service, atmosphere, and food!

25/08/2026: More a green than a park. Not much seating.

28/07/2026: Great shop, well stocked, parking a bit limited but ok most days. Friendly staff.

15/09/2026: The perfect example of modern multiculturalism. Staff who don't speak the same language all arguing over an issue that they can't understand. Half cold half hot sandwiches. Long waits without queues. Love it, let's have more

14/09/2026: Thought my vanilla latte was great

15/06/2026: Just want to say the lad with the mullet behind the counter was so sound i needed a euro for my bus and offered to do cash back and he didn’t even ask for my card just gave me the euro Thank you so much

06/06/2026: Just stopped for a beer, sitting outside in the sunshine 🌞 it was very busy inside showing football match.

09/07/2026: The food was delicious, the people were so kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here!

30/06/2026: Food was amazing! Got the carrot cake and ceaser salad and both were fresh and flavorful.

28/08/2026: the front-of-house service was genuinely poor

05/08/2026: It was my first time visiting this restaurant today, and I had such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, and the aubergine dish was absolutely gorgeous – one of the best I've had! I arrived right when they opened, and in many places, when you're the first or only customer, the staff can seem a bit distant. Here, it was the complete opposite. They made me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I walked in.

10/07/2026: Proper Dublin boozer. Immaculate pints and a Proper pub feeling. It has rejected trendy fads and is a place for a pint and newspaper or some drinking in memorial of a friend who has passed.

16/06/2026: €7.50 for a pint. The guy wanted the money the second he handed me the beer. Relax, mate, let me at least find out if I like it first

30/09/2026: Very nice environment and fine food excellent service

26/09/2026: Been going here for decades. Always good. But the calazoni holdover I had was too bread like and not crispy. The other food was fine.

02/08/2026: It was match day but they had only bottles left, no draft witch i think was bs cause it was still early

11/07/2026: Sticky floors, wall-to-wall match day programmes, tourists should visit on any GAA match day in Croke Park just to sample the atmosphere. Rival supporters standing shoulder to shoulder chatting, laughing and the occasional slagging. Nowhere else in the world does this happen. Go see it for yourself.

01/10/2026: I honestly feel very disappointed with my experience here, and I’m writing this review because I feel sorry for the people in the area who rely on this place, especially around lunchtime when there don’t seem to be many other options to sit down, have a coffee and eat. I ordered a large mocha with skimmed milk, but I was given one made with full-fat milk. The order was taken by one staff member, but when the coffee was being prepared, the staff member making it seemed more focused on her phone and her own drink than on checking the order properly. There didn’t seem to be much care or attention given to getting the customer’s order right. I paid around €6 for the coffee and couldn’t drink it at all because it wasn’t what I ordered. What made it more disappointing was that the shop was very busy, with many older customers sitting there during lunchtime, and I couldn’t help feeling that the customers weren’t really being looked after. Mistakes can happen, of course, but I would expect staff to at least show some care and attention, especially when customers are paying €6 for a drink. I really hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the level of customer service, because people in the area deserve somewhere where they can feel welcomed and looked after.

23/09/2026: Nice place. Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff.

20/08/2025: We had food and drinks couldn't have asked for any better great service aswell from Jeremy highly recommend

26/07/2025: Lovely place, quiz night is a lot of fun
