The best restaurants in Swords

12/05/2026: We really enjoyed our stay here! The service was fantastic, the staff are so friendly and polite that it makes the stay even better! The room was lovely apart from a broken plug on the sink which made it a bit awkward but we were only there a night and didn’t tell anyone until the next day so they didn’t get a chance to fix it! The location is great for the airport and for a quick taxi into the centre/ temple bar etc. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!

12/05/2026: The close proximity to the airport was a big selling point when booking. The parking lot to the back of the hotel was definitely nice, but it was at an additional cost of €12 per night. The room and bathroom were clean and also extremely quiet. Which I did not expect from a hotel so close to an international airport. It was a pretty basic room...so basic, in fact, that I forgot to take any pictures. 😆 The bar downstairs off of the lobby had a decent pint of Guinness, so that was nice. We didn't eat in the restaurant but be aware that reservations are required. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

28/10/2025: Great place with a lovely atmosphere and great food

26/08/2025: Excellent pastries, cappuccino good. A bit too small inside and far too cold with the aircon running at only 12°C outside

20/12/2025: The owner was very rude and was being openly hostile and disrespectful towards his staff who were working hard and diligently.

23/10/2025: Nice cosy place, friendly staff and good breakfast

08/11/2025: Very less staff on the counter always slow and they don’t care much if customers are waiting when food and drinks are ordered on the app they don’t even bring the drink on time all the ice gets melted and the drink doesn’t even taste good… very bad service

08/11/2025: The food here so consistent. Breakfast is great and the selection is great to choose from. Its December 2017 and the service is fab The new Manager Nicole knows what great service is it comes natural. Bar Manager Dennis is sound Darren the barman is very professional. Christine great with customers gone Now Lovely girl A credit to the oldborough. 100% Nice selection of beers try the Devils Backbone. Food and service here is great. A great starting place. Let's not forget the chef and kitchen staff waitress and waiters. A nice friendly atmosphere here. Amy and all the guys Well done to all the staff. Happy Xmas to all the staff at The Old Borough Swords

27/12/2025: This, a quitebigger pub is welcoming you with an inviting and warm atmosphere. The decoration is absolutely unique. It attracts a mixed crowd, predominantly older but with some younger faces too. With plenty of screens, it's a great spot to catch a game and chat with friends. Parking is a breeze, right across the road at the village castle car park. And the pints and beers? Top-notch. The staff is friendly. Will definitely be back.

19/12/2025: Food is lovely, and staff are friendly when they come to you. Slow service, wouldn't recommend coming here if you're in a rush. Very few staff in the lower area and you end up having to wait a while if you sit there

16/04/2026: Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm surprised that it was a quiet spot, as the food was so good!

05/04/2026: This is my far, our favourite Japanese restaurant in Dublin. 🍣 Ramen, udon, sushi, Bento, poke bowls.... Everything is well served, tasty and fresh. Prices are super 👍🏻 and service is kind and fast. We are a Japanese family from Brazil and we really like this Japanese restaurant. Always go back!

03/01/2026: A fantastic pub. Great atmosphere and the owner is amazing. We feel very comfortable and will gladly come back.

27/12/2025: Looking for a small, comfortable pub? This establishment features two bar areas and is popular with an older crowd, although some younger people also attend. It's a great place to watch sports, with numerous screens and ample space for conversation. Parking is super easy – just use the village castle car park across the street. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they serve very good pints, there are many types of beers. A beautiful place.

05/04/2026: Great spot. Friendly staff and kid friendly. Always there for the events also

22/03/2026: Gorgeous food, seem to have a new menu now and it was amazing. Got the chicken pot pie and the roast dinner, sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding and it was all amazing. Probably the nicest bread and butter pudding I've had. Staff are lovely too.

19/09/2025: I would recommend Two Birds Coffee to anybody who may be in the area! The coffee was very good quality and the snacks were tasty!

10/08/2025: Had an oat cappuccino and some sort of seeded cranberry chocolate cup cake. It was bloody amazing 😍. Will definitely be back to try both again

11/10/2025: More interested in kicking us out than serving us. While we appreciate that the staff need to go home, being told the second you walk in at 8:45 they close at 10 then reminded every ten minutes is pretty poor tbh.

11/10/2025: Amazing service from our waitress, Sabrina Veríssimo. It was our first visit to the restaurant, and she was very patient explaining the dishes and very kind to our children.

28/04/2026: Takeaway AWFUL. Chicken NOT Chicken. AVOID

22/04/2026: Amazing Food such quick service and fantastic staff all round a brilliant place !!!

15/03/2026: Love my local restaurant where you can enjoy a very good meal at a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and attentive. However I would not say that this is the most romantic or intimate place to eat. But for going out for a nice meal with friends or your date it's great. I would reccomend this restaurant for a good meal and night out ..

14/02/2026: Great food and super friendly and funny staff

21/04/2026: No food in this place but who needs it, great pints, attentive staff and a vibrant atmosphere in the attic.

11/04/2026: Came here wanting to go to the upstairs and it was closed, shouldn't be called the pound and attic if an entire part of it is closed with no posting of its separate opening hours online or anywhere in person

27/12/2025: Wonderful atmosphere, great food and service. Will definitely go back.

18/10/2025: A great find. Fresh and a good selection.

30/03/2026: Staff were very helpful and attentive. Our food came very quick and was very fresh and hot.

29/03/2026: I got sick after going to this restaurant; I strongly advise against going there. My friends also had stomach aches.
