"Booked a table for 8 for pre-match lunch. Great atmosphere and food was good and served very quickly. Big shout out to Shane our waiter who was a star ⭐️"
"Super friendly and kind staff! One of my colleagues booked 2 tables here for last night. They didn’t have any available tables inside, so they gave us 2 tables outside. When everyone arrived and because it was a bit cold, we asked a member of staff to check if there would be some free space inside, as we would like to move in where is warmer. The guy said, give me few moments to check. Went in, and 3 minutes later, came back and said, I have 2 free tables, you can have it. We happily moved in and ordered food and drinks. Was a perfect night! Thank you so much!"
"Booked dinner and drinks for after a Leinster game in the Aviva. Arrived at 6 and waited 30 minutes for someone to come and take a drinks order. All the staff just walked past us and then when I eventually asked someone. We were then informed that drinks were only ordered at the bar and that food orders were taken at the table. We weren't given any menus, so we looked at the menu online. At this point we were there another half an hour and nobody came up to take our order. I got up and went inside to ask someone to take a food order for us where we were sitting. Eventually then someone came out to us to take our order. I then tried to order, and was only then, after 90 minutes of being there informed that there was a match day menu so we had to spend more time deciding. I then ordered a burger instead of what I wanted off the original menu and got a burger that I could have done better making myself. 16+ euro for a burger that was basically just beef mince shaped into a burger shape without any seasoning not surprisingly was bland and not worth the money paid for it. I could have gone to a chipper near by and spent half the amount of money and had something that actually tasted nice. After the long wait due to the poor service, the lack of any information given to us on how we could order or what we could order, and then given a mediocre (at best) meal, I don't think I could recommend anyone I know going here if they plan on having a bite to eat. Given the amount of money that was spent on drinks by the 10 or more people that had food, this experience was very disappointing, not to mention also being made pay before we even had our food! I then ate less than half of the burger that I prepaid for. Don't go here for food, and definitely not on match day. It was an all round disappointing experience not worth your money."
"Great spot for a drink and food with amazing service and super friendly stuff. They have loads of TVs streaming sports as well as a superb beer garden. If you come here to grab a bite, the burgers are a must!"
"Great local sports pub. Superb Guinness, plentiful beers on tap, great chicken wings and very tasty pizza. Spacious bar and plenty of modern space to hang out and eat. Very nice overall."
