21/11/2025: Love Daniel's, food is always great

20/11/2025: I should have written this review before. Daniel's is a charming little place with well cooked delicious food. The owner will happily chat with customers about food, wine and his travels. They have some great menu items and some very interesting crockery from Daniel's trips to Africa. Of particular note is the set menu which offers great value for money. If you haven't been don't hesitate just book it: you will be glad you did. Thanks again to Daniel and staff

04/11/2025: Came here last Christmas with a group and it was fantastic! I’m still thinking about the date sticky toffee pudding a year later🥰

27/10/2025: Fabulous food with great service and a lovely ambiance. The short but inventive menu has something for everyone including an excellent vegetarian option. We will definitely return!

09/12/2025: Classic Irish pub experience with live music, good beer, and delicious food! The special Christmas turkey plate was AMAZING and the curry was slightly sweet with the right amount of spice. We were sat at the back bar, by the beer garden, right away and enjoyed looking at the bars different knick knacks. We couldn’t see the musicians but that’s alright because you can hear them clearly throughout the bar! It started to get crowded around 7pm but it wasn’t too bad because there’s plenty of room to move around and the beer garden offers a silent retreat, with heating. Definitely worth a visit!

09/12/2025: Excellent! For me, the best pub in Dublin. The atmosphere is great. The bartenders are friendly, the food is delicious, especially the Irish stew. The music is fantastic, and they bring in some great people. We spent three nights in Dublin, and this was the best for us. We went to other pubs in the city center, but there's no comparison; this place is authentic. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for a table, but it's worth it.

06/11/2025: Visiting from NJ. Friends that live in Ireland took us here. What a cool place. Its what I always envisioned an Irish Pub to be like. Great pint of Guinness. Bartender was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to stop in for a pint and good fun conversation

04/11/2025: Off the beaten path but very much a wonderful pub. Excellent coddle and one of the best Guinness pours near Dublin. Hopefully this stays as a hidden gem and doesn't become ridden with tourists like The Cobblestone has become over the past few years. Very much looking forward to our next visit at this lovely pub.

22/11/2025: Met some buddies for a few beers. Always a lovely spot.

21/11/2025: Only reason it's not 5 stars is because of the crowd is on a Thursday

17/11/2025: Really enjoyed a lovely dinner here. Great service, lovely food, beautiful atmosphere.

17/11/2025: Great food. We ate here last year before the rugby. This year we were prepared and booked a table before we went to Aviva stadium for the rugby. Wagyu burger was mouthwatering. Great service, excellent place. We might stay next year?

05/12/2025: The smell alone should qualify as a health hazard... I don’t know what’s happened to Grogans, but the place absolutely reeks. The second you walk in, you’re hit with a wall of stale sweat, old beer, and something that can only be described as wet dog meets forgotten mop bucket. It’s like they’ve made “smell of neglect” part of the décor. The floors are sticky, the tables feel like they haven’t been properly cleaned since the Celtic Tiger, and the whole place gives off the vibe of a pub that gave up decades ago. Even the pints taste like they’ve absorbed the atmosphere, which is not a compliment. There are plenty of great pubs in Dublin. This is not one of them. Unless you enjoy smelling like a defeated brewery for the rest of the day, avoid.

05/12/2025: Great pub but please get coat hangers on the doors of women’s toilets - winter is rough with big coat and no where to put it

01/12/2025: Maybe the most amazing place in all of Ireland but certainly Dalkey Village! Had surf and turf (x2), beet salad, arancini, and desserts. Nothing was less than excellent. A complicated service held together nicely by the hostess. Even if this place didn’t have great food, the service and atmosphere would carry the day. Reminded me of my favorite neighborhood places in New Orleans. Thanks for the lovely food and great service.

01/12/2025: One of our favorite places. Delicious piña colada, just ask the bartender 😊

15/12/2025: Dec 2025. Went in for a few drinks early evening. What a beautifully appointed place. Quick friendly service. The Guinness was great but the Galway Girl Hazy IPA was outstanding.

15/12/2025: Stunning pub and the staff were brilliant...can't wait to go back.

21/11/2025: Fantastic food and service, loved the canun chowder and the risotto, top class!

20/11/2025: Excellent service and delicious food as always! Never disappoints

25/10/2025: I love your sister restaurant quattro so I knew id love Riba too. The food is just as yummy. I had the delicious burger. We'll be back.

11/10/2025: The restaurant was empty, late afternoon and we were given a table at the front of the restaurant by a window, only to be told that someone coming in later wanted that table and would we mind moving. No problem, but we were then seated outside the toilet and tbh we were both hungry and just wanted a nice simple light dinner. My partner order risotto and I order their hamburger and fries. Neither of us could finish our food. The risotto was as bland as you can imagine, and I assume it was precooked as it was served up in a matter of ten or 15 minutes. Some dried onion sprinkled on top. It was the worst risotto we have ever tasted. My burger was dry, tasteless and definitely not fresh off the grill, and the frozen fries were also bland and unappetising. The bruschetta was laughable- slices of toast with some halved cherry tomatoes on top with a splash of oil. Service was so-so, but honestly they’d need to try much harder and get back to basics of good simple food to win my vote. As for Italian, there was little evidence of that.

18/10/2025: Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

17/09/2025: Can’t miss this town and establishment
