The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

01/12/2024: Avoid at all costs. Can't speak for all of them, but some of the staff are the most ignorant people I've ever come across.

30/11/2024: Very friendly staff, very generous carvery, but this restaurant could do with a major, long overdue re-furb. I'll return after they do that.

21/10/2024: Great vegetarian and vegan options! Super friendly and kind staff. Especially our server/bartender Elaine! She was so helpful and fun to talk with. She is an absolute gem and such an asset to the pub. Always a smile on her face and a quick witted joke. We will definitely be back because of her! Prices are fair too! The food is delicious and fresh. Highly recommend substituting the beef patty with their beyond meat patty on the Gohan burger. So delicious! Thank you!

11/10/2024: Knights Pub had great food and drinks. Everything was served quickly and had we really enjoyed it. Marta made sure we were well taken care of! We love Clontarf and hope to return!

16/12/2024: We arrived just after opening, the place was cold, the staff looked unkempt and the chef was late. On the positive side, the coffee was good as was the sausage and pudding.

10/12/2024: Good food served by attentive staff, a bit quieter than expected. But it will be busy in the festive period, no doubt about it..

15/12/2024: Nice large pub with plenty of free parking outside. Pub is based around a single large octagonal bar. Floor staff were very attentive and friendly, bar staff were ok but could certainly be more friendly and polite and acknowledge people waiting to order etc. Food was top quality. In fact the food side was managed very well, from front of house, to waitresses. Visited on the second last Friday before Christmas so it was manic and loud. I imagine it's not like that normally. The environment itself didn't feel cosy though. Very open plan and large.

08/12/2024: (Traducido por Google) Buena comida... (Original) Good food...

17/12/2024: Take away chippie steps from Christchurch Cathedral. Brisk business - know what you want and step into the tiny shop. We had cod and chips with salt and vinegar. Hot and fresh. Walk five minutes over to the park by St Patrick’s with your steaming hot bag of goodness and it will be ready to eat when you find a sunny bench.

04/12/2024: First fish and chips tried in Dublin, more than approved, small "street food" style place with fairly fast service, good quality (the price is lower than average) and very generous portions, you can easily divide one for two people.

01/12/2024: Nice bar and staff, toilets could do with a bit of TLC. But it's well worth a visit

20/11/2024: Terrible attitude from bar staff. Senior bartender treated my friends poorly and were extremely rude because they decide to wait longer to order. A table of 7 people ordering drinks and food was not enough to appease the dimmest bar staff I've encountered in Dublin. There are better pubs in a short distance. Avoid.

06/12/2024: Lore and Team looked after us wonderfully. We were a large party of 31 people. The staff were attentive and the service was excellent.

29/11/2024: Very good choice of craft beers but not as good as when it was the Porterhouse Central

29/11/2024: This is One of the best places to stop and relax in, the staff are always very friendly and the food is delicious .. It's a beautiful place to visit.

22/11/2024: Very enjoyable. Perfect for a bite on a cold day

11/09/2024: Prefect pub to end our trip with! The inside is amazing. There were 8 of us and we were served quickly. Nessa, who has worked there for 26 years, was fantastic! There is an entire vegetarian/vegan menu, just ask for it. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The sticky toffee cake is more like a spiced cake. Still good, but not what we expected. Get the bread pudding if you’re getting dessert. Amazing!

11/09/2024: The food was mediocre, chicken was dry, corned beef was dry, we were packed in like sardines with empty tables available. Dessert was left unfinished by most at our table. Service also was mediocre, we asked if we could spread out to another table the server said I need to ask. No one ever got back to us. The dancers were the highlight of the entertainment. Musicians were okay but hokey with rehearsed/scripted comments.

03/12/2024: We were served a half frozen burger!!! Was hoping for a quick lunch while in Sandyford. Wouldn't normally go to Elephant&Castle. Their food is mediocre all around Dublin. But this time we decided to give it another try. Were served two half frozen veggy burgers. They were absolutely solid frozen in the middle. The waiter politely took them away (to be reheated, I can only assume), but we were so shocked that we decided to leave. Never again!!!

30/11/2024: Went put with the lads Proper wicked I got an exclusive hot sauce, coke,cucumber and chicken wings cocktails the humble price of 40 euro ❤💞

02/11/2024: Spend a great few hours here with family and friends to celebrate my Nieces birthday. Wonderful cocktails and lovely staff of which when found out it was Millie’s birthday presented her with a dessert and sang for her. We email reserved the table as there was 7 of us to ensure we could get in. One of our party is having a baby and the cocktail they prepared for her was in every way the exact same as the alcoholic versions. They really looked after us. We chose this place as I have previously stopped at the hotel adjoining.

21/10/2024: Busy pub because of location in temple bar

11/11/2024: I was in there yesterday with my elderly mother. The carvery is odd, with pre-cut beef and dried out beef pie. It looked awful. Anyway the upside is that the place isn't overrun with small kids. We got 2x small portions of the carvery, which is like canteen food. Nothing special, self service etc. €15 each! Astonishingly expensive. Never, ever again.

20/10/2024: Stayed here for an event. This is a really well run family hotel, will definitely return soon the food was superb and my wife who is gluten free was looked after here like no other hotel we have been to. The gluten free breakfast was super. Dinner and dessert options that are gluten free were super & delicious also. All sauces and gravy is gluten free and are really nice for everyone. Late in the evening at the event a platter of gluten free food that arrived was also really impressive. All the food I had every time (not gluten free) was tops too. See my pic, unfortunately it was the only one we took but this was some of my wifes gluten free breakfast that she could not fault! The bar was really nice also. Room was really clean, fresh and the bed was very comfy. Ample parking and not wedged in which is something i like especially when you have a good car!

10/11/2024: Popped in here for a couple of coffees as I was in the area, left with a box of cakes too.

31/10/2024: When you are entering you can see and feel space but at the same time you can seating separately in the boxes. That is really good for a company or couples. Then you feel cold and looking around you are noticing that everyone is seating with coats on. The place is not heated and very cold. Then you are realising that there is no table servise at all even you can see at least 5 staff behind the counter. This is really needs to be improved. Nobody will come to your table to clean it up until you are leaving. Food was cold and we asked to warm it or heat it, and it’s overpriced for what you are getting. There is some choice of bakery and maybe this is the best what you can get from this place. Positive things - there’s a huge car parking but nothing else from this place. Hope it will be reviewed and improved.

10/12/2024: Great quiet and cozy pub in Dun Laoghaire. The Guinness is good and the staff is great. Highly recommend!

11/11/2024: Dunohys was brilliant. The quality of drink was superb the service was excellent and very friendly. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. I would have given 5 stars only the heat in the place made us leave after 1 drink. Maybe we were sitting too close to the heaters but with the warm weather and the amount of people in the place I wonder was there any need to have the heating on.

06/12/2024: If you want plain simple no fuss food or a tea and bun, this is the place. Reminiscent of bewleys back in the day. Staff are brill.

16/11/2024: The breakfast display, hotplate, and service crew are very good and serve the food fast and professionally.
