13/09/2026: We had a fantastic experience at Awesome walls. We were met by lovely and friendly staff and Josh who supported my son and his friend with learning the ropes was a Superstar! We look forward to returning. Thank you!

13/09/2026: First time climbing and absolutely loved it as did my kids. I was sure my 8yr old wouldn't be into it but he loved it as did the 16yr old. There are climbimg walls for all levels and our instructor, Michael, was superb. If you haven't done this before, I highly recommend it as a family activity. We will definitely be back!

05/11/2026: This place was so cute and the workers were so nice. Thank you!!!

05/11/2026: Gorgeous little cafe. Great coffee and lovely service. Recommend over all the chain coffee options in the area.

27/09/2026: Epic sandwich. The highlight of my day

26/09/2026: Probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten, anywhere, ever , any country , ever. My friend said the same ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be prepared for a large Q at lunch time is College is on. Staff are pros.

19/10/2026: We ate here early on a Thursday evening and from start to finish the experience was very good. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and kept checking back on the table. The tapas are very traditional but very well cooked and very tasty. I would highly recommend a visit.

18/10/2026: Everything was great, the service was excellent, and the food tasted delicious, but unfortunately, something we ate didn't agree with us, and we had a terrible night with stomach pain and nausea. Both my partner and I, who hadn't drunk alcohol or eaten anything beforehand, have to attribute this discomfort to the dinner. We're very sorry, but we won't be returning.

04/11/2026: The place is quite nice and comfortable. The two woman inside are quite friendly. The food, to Die, really generous portions.

27/10/2026: Fresh pasta made every day by the lovely woman who prepared an served our pasta. Exceptional.

11/10/2026: Great food all around with the rice and lambing being delicious. Loving customer service and great decor

29/09/2026: Delicious food, lovely service. Great experience!

21/08/2026: One of my favourite cafes in Dublin. Great chai, gorgeous focaccia, but the biggest win for me is how friendly the staff are, especially to my children. They are always asking to go back and feel so welcome there ❤️

21/08/2026: Great tasty food and atmosphere

31/10/2026: Delicious tenders and waffles in a relaxed atmosphere

31/10/2026: food is great we always come and order the same

17/10/2026: We took the dart from Dublin to Dalkey and went to Finnegans on a friend’s recommendation. The interior was absolutely beautiful, the pints great and the cottage pie was absolutely delicious. And the staff was very attentive and friendly. And thanks so much for the Beamish pint glass to take home back to Canada.

07/10/2026: Always a great place for food 🍲 and drinks, welcoming staff and great clientele :)

20/10/2026: The pizza was delicious, and the restaurant had a lovely, warm and cozy atmosphere. However, I was a little concerned to see the waiter adding cheese, rocket, and other fresh toppings with bare hands while also serving tables. Although gloves aren’t essential with proper hand hygiene, I feel the final food preparation would be better handled by the chef in the kitchen.

14/09/2026: Best pizza in town always fresh with great customer service !

07/10/2026: Got there by chance cause I was in the area, sitting in was the best decision ever. The place and atmosphere are modern, clean and cozy. Ideal for a date in my opinion. Hurray for the service, felt well cared. Also did enjoyed the food. Quality ingredients and careful preparation at a reasonable price. Looking forward to coming back.

03/10/2026: If you’re near the museum of modern art it’s a must visit for a pint. Open over 150 years and still serving creamy pints and toasties. Friendly staff with a lovely hostess. Sundays have live music. Saturday when I visited had the football on but one screen and one game… outside was full by 6pm so get down early if you want a seat

19/10/2026: Stopped by on a Friday night for a pint and some trad music, so we knew it'd be busy but it was worth nudging our way in. Music was top notch, vibes were great, and impressed with how the bartenders were able to keep up with it all. The bar is a little confusing, since there are multiple counters and alleys all labeled 'O'Donoghues' but worth the hunt to make it to the right room.

03/08/2026: This "hidden gem" is definitely not hidden. It was so very crowded and difficult to navigate. It was also unclear where the musicians were going to set up, so hard to stake out a table. I am also bewildered by some of the other reviews that mentioned a full food menu because all they had when we were there were Ham & Cheese Toasties and Tomato soup. The establishment definitely is not clean either and its restrooms were not well tended. But the Irish lads playing music were fantastic and the beer choice excellent (they even had Guinness 0.0). We thoroughly enjoyed them, so in all, it was worth going to.

04/10/2026: One of my favourite pubs in Dublin, the Guinness is absolute quality.

27/09/2026: Very busy & noisy. Guinness only average.
