30/06/2026: excellent place modern feel. more upscale than a traditional wooden Irish pub. good food

24/07/2026: We came here because it's like a must have to visit in Dublin, but it turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. We've never tasted such delicious fish before. It's definitely worth visiting and tasting it next to the Cathedral Park. Very friendly staff, everything is high quality and delicious. We'll definitely be back.

22/07/2026: I was not disappointed at all!!! Cod &chips amazing. Tasty crispy batter! Huge piece of fish. Chips are great but i couldn’t come close to finishing them!! 20eur with a cola.

19/07/2026: This spot is really nice for a relaxed drink and some food. 🍹 The atmosphere is great and the service was good too. 😊 I had a pleasant time here. 👍

14/07/2026: Rudely and inappropriately touched by staff Racially abused my friends when they refused to get a alcoholic drink while the other 3 of us had got drinks

07/10/2025: Nice pub, I would just add music to create better climat

26/09/2025: Highly recommended. Excellent food and drinks. Elegant decor and great service.

28/06/2026: Absolutely dreadful place. Ordered a drink at the start waited 45 mins to come over . The waitress clearly could see there was no drinks on the table and juts continued to stare as us! The food was bang average and very pricey. Never again will I come to this place

27/06/2026: We have visited this restaurant several times, and this time we came to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We chose the set menu for two, which included a starter, a main course, and a bottle of wine. The goat cheese salad and the spicy chicken wings were absolutely delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the main courses were disappointing. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, while the pork belly was partly rubbery and quite difficult to chew. On the positive side, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The restaurant itself is also very cozy, especially during the summer when you can sit by the open terrace windows and enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, while the starters and service were outstanding, we hope the quality of the main courses can be improved, as we have always enjoyed visiting this restaurant.

06/07/2026: While waiting, I watched a staff member handle and serve non-gluten-free food, and then immediately turn around and handle my gluten-free food using the exact same hand no glove. What makes this completely unacceptable is that this happened directly in front of a woman (black shirt) If I'm not mistaken, she's the manager or incharge. She literally have zero sense about gluten free I repeat zero sense, she needs to be trained properly. If you are celiac or have a severe gluten intolerance, please avoid this place. Their staff lacks basic allergen training, and management clearly does not care about food safety protocols. I will not be returning.

05/07/2026: Wonderful fish and chips.. especially the chips..

05/07/2026: Called in for food before a concert was very busy but did not wait too long for food once ordered. The good was lovely had the Guinness Pie great portion sizes really enjoyed. The staff both behind the bar and table servers were very pleasant and friendly. The tables were cleared and cleaned as soon as people left which was great. Would recommend and would call in again when in the area.

04/07/2026: Awful experience. We came in at 11:40am, it was not busy, it took 15 minutes to order at the bar and then another hour for our food to come out. We got the Guinness pie and curry chips. It should not have taken so long for hot chips. When it did come the chips were disappointing and the pie was horrid, we picked at the chips and didn't eat the pie after tasting it, then we left. I would not recommend coming here for food.

31/07/2026: Lovely cafe/bakery. We had coffee & cakes (huge selection) which were fab 😋 but I spotted some lunch plates and they also looked great. A lovely spot and I would recommend 👍🏼

27/07/2026: Great place. Good food and service.

06/07/2026: Traditional Dublin pub catering for locals. Friendly staff

13/03/2026: So happy with my choice ; home-made beef curry served with chips and rice. Quality home cooking. Great service. Cant wait to return and try the rest.

30/06/2026: Great staff, fast service. Attended a few events and had a good time always.

01/06/2026: Great little spot to go, always good fun, amazing staff

27/06/2026: The service really makes this place! You get greeted and taken to a table which is so lovely. Table service even if you just want drinks. Thank you to the staff for being so welcoming! Also a really good price for a pint in Dublin!

30/05/2026: Had a Jameson mixed drink, think he forgot the whiskey. Zero smell, zero taste but well paid. Went to the club on the opposite site and ordered the same drink. Hypothesis proved. Charming pub though and friendly server. But 10€ for a drink that tastes of nothing but ginger ale is a joke.

01/07/2026: We celebrated my sister's hen party on Saturday on the Canal Boat Restaurant and hired the boat for 2 hours. It was such a brilliant experience from start to finish and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Big shout out to Jaya who was there to answer all my emails to organise the event. She was also there on the day and was such a pleasure to deal with. The whole team were so helpful and friendly. The Canapes served were delicious. We hooked our music up to the sound system via Bluetooth and we all had a ball, an experience not to be forgotten and it's all down to the team. If you are planning a private event, don't think twice, book the Canal Boat Restaurant, you won't be disappointed.

05/06/2026: Wonderful! We went to celebrate our anniversary and the food was delicious. I'd like to mention that all the staff were so kind and attentive, especially Eliana who spent the whole evening looking after us. Thank you so much, guys, you're the best! ♥️♥️

28/06/2026: We had such a lovely experience here thanks to our waitress Dee. We were two families dining together with four kids, and she was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive the whole time. Nothing felt like too much trouble for her, and she made us all feel very welcome. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was with the children — she even offered steamed vegetables for the baby without us having to ask, which was such a caring touch and very appreciated. The service was warm, friendly, and genuine, and it made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was amazing, each course very delicious! Thank you all for looking after us so well!

15/03/2026: The food was delicious, the staff lovely. Thank you for this wonderful experience, I highly recommend it!
