The food was the best that I've ever had in GB. After 4 years in England, I finally got a chance to visit Ireland and have a decent meal. The wine list, the service and the atmosphere were simply excellent.

A friend who lives in Dublin suggested we go for dinner, and it was an excellent choice. Great shrimp appetizer, and you can see the cuts of meat prior to ordering. Both steaks were perfectly prepared, along with the chips. They also have nice whiskey and wine choices. Can't wait to go back!

Good lunch spot, reasonable value for money, hit and miss service but a great location and atmosphere, pity about the occasional pungent smell but the building must have some small issue that needs fixing...

We had lunch this week and enjoyed almost all of it. Two great sandwiches with a side of fries were excellent, cooked to perfection and generous in portion. Great bowl of fresh baked bread was a nice treat. One of our group had the crab salad and she said it wasn't great. Could be improved with source of chunkier, meatier... More

This place was recommended to us by our hotel, and it did not disappoint! It was the best fish & chips and steak we'd had! The service was great and we would recommend this place to anyone in Dublin!

Great steaks but also very good fish daily specials. Good service and atmosphere. Probably the best gastropub in Dublin city center.

Came highly recommended by our hotel for a party of seven and did not disappoint. Staff made our group feel really welcome and food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Did not try to rush us and had a wonderful evening.

Really good buzzy atmosphere and delicious food. Expect to pay €10 for a starter and €30 for a main, not cheap but very good food. Would definitely recommend going if you are in Dublin!
