The best restaurantsof irish in Dublin

08/07/2026: Much love to the bouncer with the beard, has great vibe about him

08/07/2026: The food was very below standard, frozen chicken burger and goujons. The chicken burger was pure slop, unable to pick it up or cut into. For the same prices many restaurants around have better quality food.

08/07/2026: Decent spot food is good.prices of beer in main lounge is a bit expensive.The bar next door is decent value tho.

11/06/2026: Wonderful service service agents Alicia supported by Nicole. We really appreciated the lovely introductions and welcome. Very pleasant We will both come here again. Thank you. E + J.

18/07/2026: Fantastic brunch. Sat outside in the sun. Would Go back.

17/07/2026: One vegetarian option just isn’t good enough anymore sorry. Staff were lovely and very attentive but the food was overpriced and not worth the money

17/07/2026: This place is unbelievable! 🤩Love coming here on a nice sunny day ☀️The cocktails and drinks are great. The food is on another level. Best place to come in the evening to meet up with mates to grab some food and drinks. I would recommend their sauce burger! 🍔🍻 Well done chef Stephen, Alan Emily and Thomas!

16/07/2026: chips are shite, service was alright. Chips taste like cow.

18/07/2026: Food was good but the bread was like a stone super hard but when I finished my food I called the manager and .i suggest the manager check the bread ,because it was super hard and he answered me you should eat it when it was warm , hmmm i think it is old bread , and it is just leftover reheating. It was my experinece . The beef stew was very good !!. It was just my own experience.

18/07/2026: We visited this pub as a group of eight. Only two of us ordered food, while everyone else had alcoholic drinks. From the moment we arrived, the waitress made us feel unwelcome. She was unfriendly throughout our entire visit and gave us the impression that she wanted us to leave as soon as possible. The worst part was when we were asked to give up our table for another group. We completely understand that this can happen and had no issue with moving. However, the way it was communicated was incredibly rude and unprofessional. A little politeness and respect would have made all the difference. It’s a real shame because the location itself is actually quite nice. Unfortunately, the poor service completely ruined the experience. Based on how we were treated, we cannot recommend this pub and certainly won’t be coming back.

23/07/2026: Great spot and lots more Gluten free options than most places in the are.

10/07/2026: Had some food and beers in the step and was pleasantly surprised 👌

22/06/2026: Booked a function room for a 30th Birthday Party and I’m extremely upset about how the evening went to the point I’m still receiving calls from family members advising me of more and more issues they had with the venue. When we went to decorate the room a couple hours before the party began ,the wait staff were taking their break in the room and were eating and lying on the booths we were trying to decorate around them not once did they take the common decency to move to the unoccupied function room next door . I understand staff need breaks and this may very well be where they normally take them but a bit of professionalism and common sense would tell you to find somewhere else for the 20 minutes it took us to decorate . We arrived later that evening and were informed the lift on the premises was out of order which was frustrating as we had some elderly family members with mobility issues who had to then struggle to climb the stairs to the function room. From the outset of the party there was awful service I was constantly cleaning tables of glasses all evening and I was the only one for hours , there was never sufficient floor service to the point I didn’t see a single staff member cleaning glasses until after the restaurant closed at 9.30 or 10pm our booking began at 7pm and I spent the whole night clearing glasses and dropping drinks to tables myself. It’s extremely embarrassing and ruined the night for me and my partner who couldn’t enjoy his birthday party due to the ongoing complaints we were receiving from our guests. We also paid for 5 platters of food that we were informed would comfortably feed 50 people , we had 40 guests and in all honesty the platters provided were more suited to 20 people (also no plates provided , I brought our own paper plates luckily ) I ordered 2 more platters and this still wasn’t enough . A family member asked the wait staff after clearing any leftover food (from platters on smaller tables of 2-3 people ) if we could send some home for a sick family member who couldn’t make it to which we were told the food had already been binned and they could pay an additional €20 for 4 slider burgers ( mind you the platters were €60 each ) What would have been more beneficial was for the staff to come to me and ask if they could clear them or ask if we wanted to keep the leftovers ,or if we wanted to relocate the platters with leftovers to more occupied tables who didn’t get nearly enough food. I asked the manager on the night and the bar staff to ensure tables were being cleared 3 times because I was sick of doing it myself and each time nothing changed until the restaurant closed . I flagged all my issues with the manager Stephen and to be perfectly honest I didn’t receive a very positive response , I’m not looking for compensation or a refund of any form I just want it sufficiently acknowledged and an apology for the experience instead I was met with indifference and a defensive attitude . Everything I said was responded to with “ I’ll check the camera / speak to the manager on duty“ … “ your booking wasn’t until 7 the staff use that room when it’s not occupied “… “ the lift was working but we weren’t confident someone wouldn’t get stuck in it so for health and safety reasons we chose not to use it “ … I also informed the manager I would leave a negative review and his response was completely indifferent, honestly I wouldn’t have even left this if my negative experience was acknowledged.Somewhat out of the control of the venue it happened to be a very warm evening but the room was sweltering hot everyone was using paper plates to fan themselves , there really should be AC in the room as it’s connected to the kitchen ( they left the kitchen door open all night ) and the windows don’t open .The only positive was the lovely bar lady who did a great job servicing drinks all night and the waitress who was eventually allocated to the room late in the evening .

15/06/2026: Nice place good food but not to my taste

10/07/2026: Had a great time. In for the World Cup matches, and the tennis. Great atmosphere and plenty of TVs around the pub. Good selection of beers, and the food is lovely. Fair play to the staff. And that terrace, what a sun trap ☀️😎

08/07/2026: House fries and buttermilk fried chicken tenders are a must try!!

14/07/2026: Food was nice . Guinness absolutely rotten, very watery. Been here a couple of times and still the same.

11/07/2026: Great way to spend a sunny evening

16/06/2026: If traditional Ireland is what you are after then Molloy’s is the perfect place. Great rooms to stay, welcoming atmosphere, local personalities and the best poured Guinness around - smooth like ice cream ❤️

19/05/2026: Nice pub for a pint,friendly locals and staff,plenty of tv’s for sports,good selection of beers..It’s an old school boozer 👍

25/07/2026: The Guinness stew meat was amazing!!!

20/07/2026: Unfortunately, they charge a 10% service charge without mentioning it anywhere!

18/07/2026: American from nyc review. Food is extremely bland with no salt on the table. I had 2 bite and gave to my husband. People seem to come here for only drinks. Dinners beware.

15/07/2026: Love it here. Always a pleasure. Fantastic location, great drinks, good food and friendly staff.

16/07/2026: It’s a fine pub. But it’s not just me. Reputationally they are known to be a bit mean. Today they shut the bar early, rudely with no need. As a local I won’t be back. Best of luck tourists

10/07/2026: Nice old fashioned style pub. Great location so close to Grafton street & St Stephens green. Toilets could do with an upgrade though.

05/07/2026: Great selection of goodies made by local artisans. Gorgeous bags, woollen goodies and hats.

04/07/2026: Popped in yesterday, having a brows for a ‘fuckil’ tshirt in a particular size, i asked a lovely woman who’s name i didn’t get for assistance and she immediately went and found a gentleman by the name of Pat who went above and beyond to assist me. The level of customer care experienced in this store is was next to none. Great store, fantastic products and brands but the staff and their professionalism and warm nature is their best asset. GRMA!
