The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

10/03/2026: Phone stolen here along with 3 other girls in the same hour. Be so careful with your bags and keep them in front of your body. A thief went into my bag whilst it was on my side and stole it. Lots of thieveslurking by the bar.

03/03/2026: Hophouse tasted like soap and hadn't been refilled 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 but the live music was nice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

01/03/2026: Excellent food and Atmosphere. Always very enjoyable with attentive Staff..

04/02/2026: Amazing. The smoked salmon is my favourite

14/04/2026: It's a shame the people who serve are awful, otherwise the food is decent (carvery) and the other employees are nice.

06/04/2026: Place gone down hill. Paying €18 for a full Sunday dinner and I’m still hungry after it , giving me the tiniest slices of ham and turkey. I shouldn’t have to go up and get a plate chips just to fill me up. Pure joke. 2nd time now , Sick to my stomach. So angry and annoyed over the whole experience, it shouldn’t be €18 for full plate, Your getting robbed for that , I won’t be going here again. I rather slice toast. And save me from getting robbed. And it’s not like they give you a good amount for it , your overcharge to bits. owners should be ashamed them selfs. I was honestly about to lose the head down there. Not even worth it. If you’re gonna over charge for a Sunday dinner at least give them what they pay for. And not rob them , €18 why don’t you just take my wallet instead. I won’t be going down here again and I be letting everyone know too.

19/11/2025: Found this pub really great. Superb staff and staff apart from one member of staff. A younger blonde woman who was quite unhappy and rude a couple of times while serving me. Overall well worth a visit

22/03/2026: This place was recommended to us by chat gpt as great local Irish food. Their website looks attractive with modern balanced dishes. We had a lunch there on Sunday, very limited menu with mostly unhealthy options. Little vegetables, I asked for a plane leaf salad with tomatoes for kids which they didn’t have and couldn’t make… white sweetened buns for burgers with fries, and vegetable nachos for me. I couldn’t eat nachos as they were all stocked together. Attaching the picture. Not coming back for sure

22/03/2026: We had a great time at The Woollen Mill and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very tasty and well prepared, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The staff were friendly and the whole place had a really nice buzz about it. The only downside was that the table we were sitting at wasn’t very comfortable. Also, we wouldn’t really recommend sitting outside unless the weather is unusually good! Ireland is just too cold most of the time to properly enjoy outdoor seating. Also would expect Guinness to be served. But overall, we had a great experience, really enjoyed the food, and would definitely come back.

20/03/2026: Dropped in for a drink in a Friday afternoon, very friendly, great service. Dog friendly in the bar when we visited! Food menu looks nice also.

18/03/2026: Following a 15 minute wait for a waiter or waitress to even look at us, the waitress serving us made us feel incredibly uncomfortable. She was aggressive and rude when we pointed out a mistake she had made with our order, insisting we were wrong. When she finally checked with the bar, she then confirmed it was indeed her mistake, after making a scene in front of other diners. An expensive lunch which was ruined, avoid!

13/04/2026: Great atmosphere. Had 4 lovely ciders there and the staff was very nice! They gave us a baby Guinness for free!

31/03/2026: best club sandwhich on gods green earth

14/04/2026: Smithfield IPA the best IPA ever , lovely olives too! I love the outdoor heaters! So nice 🙂 this is my favourite bar in Dublin

13/04/2026: Great cocktails, lovely staff, super dog friendly we love coming here on our dog & mum dates.

23/03/2026: Came here for food and drinks with some friends. The location and inside setting were really nice. Unfortunately we found the staff in general here lacked hospitality. One waitress actually really impeded negativity on our time here. Her attitude was not something we would come out to experience, and it was a shock to us that someone like this would work in hospitality.

13/03/2026: Went there for an Irish Whiskey tasting. The atmosphere is beautiful. Great place to sit and hang out with friends while having a pint.

01/04/2026: Nice atmosphere and good service

31/03/2026: The cocktails were delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the prices were good. We had a great time and will definitely come back

21/03/2026: There was also no parking near the place

05/03/2026: Had a super lunch here was lucky enough outside with a bit of sun. Staff are great. food… yummy

25/03/2026: Paid nearly €30 for two drinks at the bar. The drinks were really nice and the barman was friendly. However, I was surprised to be prompted for a tip when paying. There was no table service, we ordered and collected the drinks ourselves, so I’m not entirely sure what the tip would have been for. Tipping should reflect extra service, not just standard bar service. The expectation to tip on top of high prices is off-putting.

24/03/2026: Felt unwanted from entering. The Bar girl was refusing customers from 10.40pm. She came to my table at 10.55pm and said we're closed! Hadn't even finished my drink, I just left it. Dont work in the bar game if customers irritate you so much.

09/04/2026: Had a great time. Staff were so lovely! Food was excellent and portions were a great size for the price. Had some lovely whiskey while there and would definitely recommend. The atmosphere was exactly how you want a bar to be welcoming and lively!

29/03/2026: What a tragedy! The old Porterhouse was such a lovely pub. Now it looks like a fast-food chain.

28/10/2025: Great coffee stop with safe parking for bicycles, sitting indoor and outdoor, amazing selection of cakes and other sweets, great coffee. Very friendly and efficient staff👍

13/10/2025: Absolutely lovely. The food is delicious and the coffee is amazing.

24/08/2025: We got the feeling that they didn't want to serve us at 8 p.m. They told us the kitchen was closed and there were people dining...

23/08/2025: We were there last Friday. Waitress was not customer friendly 2/10 I got tea with sour milk , a colleague got the smallest portion of risotto you could serve Rip off and terrible services. Unlikely to go back and we were regular.
