Been coming here for a while now and the staff still remember my usual order. They sorted out a mix-up last time without any fuss, even threw in a free meal. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

BBQ wings were unreal, sweet potato fries spot on. Got busy so service lagged a bit, but worth it.

The California sandwich with chicken tenders is honestly the best I&#39;ve had in Dublin. Chicken stays juicy, not dry at all. Staff were sound too. Only thing is the place gets busy around lunch, so you might wait a bit. But worth it for the sandwich.

Came for the live music, stayed longer than I planned. Band was decent and the pints were flowing nicely. Proper old-school pub feel, crowd was friendly enough. Got a bit loud near the bar but that&#39;s on us for standing there. Fine spot for a few drinks if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped in while waiting for the Dart, ended up staying way longer than I meant to. Staff were sound, even watched my bag while I ducked out for a quick call. Coffee was decent, did the job. Place has a good buzz to it, easy to lose track of time. Handy spot if you&#39;re passing through.

The bruschetta was the highlight&mdash;tomatoes were actually ripe, bread nicely toasted. Diavolo pizza had a proper kick to it too. Service sorted out a small mix-up with our starter and threw in a limoncello, which was a nice touch.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying way longer than planned. The vibe is just really chill, you know? Good spot to meet a friend or even just sit by yourself for a bit. Didn&#39;t try any food but the drink was solid. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back here again sometime.

Steak was spot on, that gremolata really made it. Seafood pasta was decent too. Bit pricey maybe but I&#39;d go back for the steak.

The green omelette was decent, pulled pork Benedict pretty good too. Salted caramel coffee was the highlight. Pricey enough, but fine for the quality.

The staff really looked out for me&mdash;one guy stepped in when a panhandler wouldn&#39;t leave me alone. That kind of attention means a lot. Donuts were fresh and tasty, exactly what I needed. Just wish there were more seating, but I&rsquo;d still stop by again.

Solid bagel, latte was actually good. WiFi held up fine while I was there. Seating&#39;s tight though, barely any outlets if you&#39;re planning to camp out with a laptop. Fine for a quick stop, not for a work session.

Been coming here for years, the NY slices never miss. Just grab one fresh from the window, you&#39;re set.

Stopped in for a quick bite on a Tuesday. Got the midweek deal&mdash;two tapas and a drink. Food was tasty, no complaints there. Place has a cozy vibe, pretty chill for a lunch break. Service was fast enough for me. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something quick.

Ordered seven dishes plus dessert and drinks &mdash; bill came out way lower than expected. Menu&#39;s got serious variety, everything tasted solid. Proper feed for the price.

The gluten-free bread here is genuinely good, which never happens. Fish and chips were solid too, proper crispy batter.

Came for the pizza, ended up really liking the red wine ravioli. Sauce was rich, pasta cooked properly. Portion felt a bit small for what you pay, but it was decent overall. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that dish again.

The garlic potatoes with truffle mayo were the real highlight&mdash;proper comfort food. Pizza was decent too, though nothing mind-blowing. Service kept things moving, which I appreciated.

The Sunday lunch menu is honestly such good value. I got the hake with Greek-style sides and it was spot on, really fresh. Chocolate mousse for dessert was the highlight though. Service was grand, but the 10% service charge caught me off guard a bit. Still, I&rsquo;d go back for that mousse alone.

Service was spot on even with the place rammed. They sorted our group of 12 without a fuss, everyone got looked after. Honestly, that kind of efficiency makes me want to come back.

Great spot outside town - Richard behind the bar made it, proper banter too. Burger was genuinely good.

The pasta special was proper homemade, really fresh and tasty. Loads of options on the lunch menu too, sandwiches, burgers, pasta. Service was quick and sound. Good spot for a catch-up with mates 👍

Came here with a group of 8 and honestly the service was the standout. Staff were dead friendly and didn&#39;t mess around even though we were a big crowd. Food was grand, nothing mad but solid. Only thing was the soda from the machine tasted a bit off. Wouldn&#39;t put me off going back though.

Solid gluten-free options here. Staff sorted us out with homemade bread and adapted the breakfast no hassle. Sausages were the best part.

Cozy spot with a proper traditional feel &mdash; loved that you could see into the kitchen through the pass-through window. It looked spotless the whole time, which honestly made me trust the place more. Didn&rsquo;t try anything too adventurous, but the vibe alone would bring me back. Maybe next time I&rsquo;ll go for the full Irish breakfast.
