Delighted with our choice, popped in for lunch with kids after visit to the Zoo, first time here and quite impressed, delicious food, friendly staff, great value for money, 3 main meals, kids meal, tea, coffee, soft drinks and a dessert for less than 90e. Definitely worth recommending. Free parking in nearby underground car park.
It is my favorite pub in Dublin!!!!
Staff is amazing; especially if you are regular you will feel like you are at home. Great music selection, great food, even better atmosphere.
Highly recommend it to everyone :)
