02/10/2025: Hello Top pizza & chicken 👋, We are a pizza packaging manufacturer from Pakistan, offering EU-competitive prices. I would like to share our catalogue with you. Could you kindly provide me with the email/contact of the person responsible for packaging decisions? Thank you, Iqbal

24/08/2025: One of the best kebabs I ate in Ireland, highly recommended... we'll definitely be back.

08/09/2026: I visited recently and was impressed by the fantastic food and drinks, all served up in a clean environment. The buffet had plenty of tasty options, and the service was top-notch. However, the loud happy birthday singing could be toned down a bit—it's not exactly the vibe I enjoy while eating. I'd love to see some more dessert variety and perhaps introduce some Indian milk sweets to the menu. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’ll definitely be back!

08/09/2026: Fantastic Experience. Good choice of food. Staff are friendly and helpful.

27/03/2026: Lovely little hidden gem with veggie options, does an excellent coconut milk latte!

27/02/2026: Very nice place and the breakfasts are delicious. We've been a couple of times and we're definitely coming back for our next trip.

29/06/2026: The little coffee shop 😍 is so good service is fantastic and very good quality food and the prices are very good enjoy coffee ☕️ with beautiful people in the 4 coffee shop 😊 😀

10/06/2026: Nice atmosphere,lounge staff very friendly,food was good.Would visit again.

13/09/2026: Small entrance in the market area. Nice warm greeting and two small distinct seating areas 😀 Nice wine selection 😀🍷 Tapas bar so small plates with good selections. Beware even with 4 people many dishes have only 3 pieces on them 😀😕 Food though is really tasty 😋 Choose well, you can order some dishes eat and then order more all were very tasty 😀🇮🇪 Toilets outside restaurant but close by 😀🇮🇪 Got very busy and atmosphere got better as the night went on 😀🇮🇪 Enjoyed the evening very much 😀🇮🇪 Need to book if you’re a tapas fan recommended 😀🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

16/08/2026: This place should be better known! We have been several times and each time it has been really delightful. This time we had visitors from the USA, so were a large party. We ordered all the starters, all the tapas, some albondigas and all the desserts (with extra churros for the youngest person). Everything was terrific and an education in tapas. It really tastes like you are in Spain or, more precisely, Catalunya. We got to try so many different things and it was certainly enough food. The price was very fair for Dublin and the wine is good value too, with relatively little markup. The staff were lovely, as always, and very keen to help, in this case for us to sit outside. Our tip: order lots of bread to soak up the sauces.

18/09/2026: Best burgers in dublin!! Amazing food and lovely staff

06/09/2026: We came here on Sunday for lunch and ordered two burgers with fries. Honestly, the food was delicious! The fries were fantastic, and I love how focused their menu is—just single or double burgers (with or without cheese) and three types of fries (regular, shoestring fries, or sweet potato). Great quality product at a very reasonable price, complemented by great service. The only downside is the space itself. It’s quite small, and the decor isn’t super cozy, so it doesn't really invite you to linger around after eating. Other than that, really, really good burgers. Highly recommended!

16/08/2026: A wonderful, family-friendly pub. I'd love to come back again and again. Great food. Incredibly nice owner. 🍀🍀🍀

08/08/2026: Staff seemed quite annoyed by my existence.

07/09/2026: Great experience, we got the all-you-can-eat option for two people, the portions were generous and the food was fresh.

04/09/2026: Marina is very nice and friendly which makes our dining extra special.. we celebrated 2 birthdays! Thank you for making it super special with the gorgeous food we had. Highly recommend this place.

17/07/2026: A true Italian feast. A small but homely atmosphere serving wonderful italian cusine.

13/07/2026: This is the second time I've come to the restaurant and the experience was wonderful, just as it was on our first visit.

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.

20/09/2026: Had a really enjoyable night overall, and I want to give special recognition to one of the security guards who was genuinely lovely. There was a small misunderstanding while we were dancing. I accidentally bumped into someone and immediately apologised, and a few drops of my drink ended up on another person. I apologised to him as well, but unfortunately the response was quite confrontational, which left me feeling uncomfortable. When we spoke to security about it, one of the security guards was absolutely brilliant. He took us aside, listened to what had happened and was incredibly reassuring. He made us feel respected, heard and safe, and handled the situation in such a calm and professional way. I really want to say a massive thank you to him, because after an uncomfortable interaction, having a security guard respond with that level of kindness and understanding made a huge difference. He deserves a lot of recognition for how he treated us. For reference, this was on the night of 19–20 September, at approximately 23:50, so hopefully the management team can identify the security guard who was working at that time and pass on my thanks to him. Overall, we had a good night, but I especially wanted to leave this review so that his kindness and professionalism don't go unnoticed. ❤️

19/09/2026: Food & drinks was good. Service was a little slow but I think we arrived during a shift change as staff seemed to be switching over or going on breaks. Overall would recommend!
