The Guinness was spot on, proper pour. Chicken burger did the job too, though I&#39;d have liked a bit more sauce. Good crowd, friendly enough bar staff. Solid spot for a pint if you&#39;re in the area.

Decent spot for a quick lunch. Got the veggie curry, plenty of options which is handy. Food was tasty, no complaints. Staff were sound and didn&#39;t keep me waiting. Place itself was clean, felt genuine. Not the cheapest but fair for what you get. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came here for my birthday and honestly the steak was spot on&mdash;asked for medium rare and it came out perfect. Staff brought out a little plate with a candle and sang, which was a nice surprise. The owners stopped by our table for a quick chat too. Only thing is it got a bit loud later on, but the food made up for it.

The lamb shank was properly falling off the bone. Good portion for the price. Worth stopping in if you&#39;re passing through Beechwood.

The Pollo Funghi pasta was proper comfort food, creamy and well-seasoned. Decent portion for the price too. Just mind yourself around the area after dark, it gets a bit sketchy.

Turkish eggs were spot on, pancakes fluffy too. Place was packed but the staff kept it together, coffee came out quick and strong. Only gripe, we waited a bit for a table but that&#39;s on us for showing up late. Solid spot for brunch, I&#39;d go back.

The tandoori jumbo prawn masala had that nice smoky char, and the mango lassi was properly refreshing. Seating area felt a bit cramped though, could barely move my chair.

Lovely spot for catching up with friends &mdash; the hot chocolate is seriously good and the pastries are class. Interior&rsquo;s dead pretty too, very Parisian vibe. Staff were sound.

Stopped in for the Cork game and they sorted us with a good spot. Guinness was class, and the chicken fajitas were a solid portion. Big beer garden out back too.

Food was decent enough, but service dragged a bit. We sat outside and the terrace felt dead, no buzz at all. Had the fish and chips, it did the job. Maybe it was just an off night. I&#39;d try it again on a quieter day, but I wouldn&#39;t rush back.

Came back three times during our stay. Karl and the team were spot on. Irish stew and fish and chips were solid, but the stout bread was the real winner. Lively spot, decent value for the area.

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.

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.

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.

The open kitchen really makes the place feel alive. Pizzas have that proper crispy-chewy crust, no complaints there. Service kept up fine even when it got busy on a Saturday. Only thing is the seating near the counter gets a bit cramped, but it&rsquo;s alright for a quick bite.

Stopped in for a late breakfast &mdash; coffee was properly hot and the staff didn&#39;t rush me. Food came quick too. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area.

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 drink and tried the Christmas gin with the strawberry swirl&mdash;lovely. Paloma was good too. Prices are a bit steep for the size, but you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

The seafood bar is the way to go here. Everything tasted properly fresh, like it hadn&#39;t been sitting around. Staff were sound too. Solid spot in Howth.
