Big fan of this place. They've got a great selection of beers without the awful attitude that you normally get with it. They're always happy to let you try and few before you buy as well. Normally a nice buzz about the place and pretty easy to get a seat. They burgers and other pub food as well - it looks tasty but i've never tried any of it. read more

Had a very nice lunch here. The food, beer and service were solid and the staff was very friendly. Good pulled pork sandwich and big dog. The french onion soup was the only miss. Didn't taste like anything except onions and pepper, but they gave you a lot of it! Overall, we had a good time. read more

Decent food. Good selection of beer but overpriced. Would have got 4 stars except I had the misfortune of dealing with a barman who stood eating a kinder egg instead of serving me. Made eye contact multiple times but ignored me and continued eating his fucking kinder egg. Eventually the other lad finished serving another customer and served me. Hope his toy was crap read more

Just another great Galway Bay brewpub. Excellent guest beers on tap and their own brews, try Good Bye Blue Monday and sessional IPAs like Voyager US. Something good that others breweries like PorterHouse needs to adopt is "Half pint, Half price". read more

it's funny, i should be very excited about this place because it's new(ish) and they have a huge and amazing selection of beer, AND they have games, AND food. but unfortunately, i'm not a fan of beer. i mean i like some beers, but i can't justify the caloric load and the overly full feeling. it's just not worth it for me to swig gallons of the stuff in order to get the same buzz i'd get off of one Hendricks & tonic (which they have, btw :) ) i also have a bit of an issue with the Feng Shui of the place. i don't know, i can't quite explain it; there's something about the randomness of the columns in the middle of the room or the claustrophobic arrangement of tables and chairs, or the weird layout in general that bugs me. there's also this pervasive piss smell if you're close enough to the toilets downstairs. unfortunately, that's where all the larger tables are for groups. and you don't really wanna sit up front cuz it's even more weird Feng Shui up there with the door at your back and the cold coming in. but despite all that, i do end up there a fair bit and when we sit upstairs, it's far more pleasant. the food isn't bad and the non-beer selection is pretty alright too. i agree with Annie L that they should maybe put a bit more into their whiskey selection. or some of the other premium spirits. then i might be more enthusiastic about it. on the upside, if you want the beer and stuff without the weird Feng Shui, they have a sister pub northside on Capel Street (or thereabouts). can't remember the name of it now... something involving sheep :) read more

It looks cool, was nicely packed but not too much with a massive choice of craft beers. Unfortunately, after waiting for at least 15mins to get service at the bar last Saturday, we decided to leave. Shame! read more

This was another great craft beer find in Dublin. I loved the full sale pale ale as well as the voyager both by Galway Bay brewery. The servers were extremely warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was very laid back and mellow. I really enjoyed my experience here. This was my absolute number one favorite pub to go to in Dublin. I highly recommend going here. They also serve food but I did not try any. read more

One of my favorite places in Dublin, this modern gastro pub has good food and interesting beer.I had a Thai style curry which was as good as you'd get at a Thai restaurant except hotter than most US Thai places would serve it, which I liked.I had a sampler of three local micro brews and enjoyed all of them.The bartender - waiter was friendly and helpful and we met a decidedly eccentric local at the end who I wound up giving advice to .Highly recommended place. read more

Grand for a few pints of tasty craft beer which they have a great selection of. I like the outside seats where you can watch the Camden street shenanigans unfold. Its also the only drinking establishment that's survived the corner of death location which has taken many previous victims. For that it deserves some recognition. read more

I really cant say a bad word about this place. not only is the food delicious, and the portions whopper, but the staff genuinely startled me with the level of their friendliness! This establishment takes hospitality to a new level. A very underrated spot altogether, nice work peeps read more

Fast dinner service. Surprisingly good salads for a pub. Fresh and so tasty. Incredible chunky chips as a side.

Think this is a little gem. Very nice food, laid back atmosphere and bottles of Steinlager Pure. What more could ya want? Maybe a couple of barmaids who are easy on the eye? Well they have that too. read more

A little off the beaten path if you're a tourist, but a really nice stop off either way. We had the best food of our trip here and it was much cheaper than anywhere else we ate or thought about eating. The beer selection is great, the bartenders were lovely, and it was all around roomy and comfortable. If we had a bigger group of friends traveling with us, I could imagine us sitting there for a few hours and relaxing with good local beers. Definitely a highlight! read more

Sometimes pubs that say they are Artisan or craft beer pubs don't really deliver, but this place had a great selection on draft compared to most pubs. I never saw a list of their bottles (I see that some people say there is one in their reviews, but there were none to be found where I looked) but I'd say it has to be extensive considering their advertising. I didn't get any food but the menu looked good, and everyone around me that had food seemed happy enough with it. It's smaller than I expected, and not extremely interesting to look at on the inside but it's a good place and I wish I could have had a few more pints here before moving on. read more

This was a little gem of a pub that I have always walked past but never walked into. For a change we decided to try somewhere new. If you are into Kraft Beer (which seems to really be growing in popularity these days) then this is a great place for you! They have a really good selection of different beers. The atmostphere is really relaxed and the bar staff are lovely. Its not too busy on a Friday after work, which makes a change from other bars in the area. This place is definitely worth a look in guys! read more

Of the Galway Bay Brewery pubs that I've been to, I have to admit this is probably my least favourite. There's something just sort of thrown together about the tables in here. The staff seem cool but on a couple of occasions I've been here on my own or with just one other person, and despite the fact that we were loudly discussing beer, the bartenders never tried to chime in or have a chat--which I would have especially appreciated when alone. It has the same decent selection of beers as the other pubs, but for me it just doesn't have the same cosiness. I've never been here any night that it's been super busy, only for a couple of weeknight dinners and for lunch. If you're in the area, it's not a bad place to go, and the beer is just as good here as elsewhere, but if you have the choice of GBB bars, I'd suggest another. That said, this is supposedly a cursed building, and Against The Grain has lasted a lot longer than its predecessors, so that has to say something about it. read more

This is a good pub! In a great location with plenty of different beers and really good food. Atmosphere is very chilled out here and it's not pretentious at all. Seems to be very popular with internationals loving in Dublin too which is good to see. Recommended for a good old fashioned night out. read more

Galway Bay does it again. Great grub. Especially the burger. And great beers. Galway bay continue to lead the craft beer and good grub revolution in Ireland. read more

Other than the hamburger being small and only being given six fries, they were wonderful! The hamburger was one of the best I've ever had! On top of that, they offer gluten free buns & beer! read more

Excellent bar. Popped in here for some lunch on a sunny Friday afternoon. Had a tasty salad plus fries (on a combo kind of deal) and one of their home brew IPAs. Cost about 10 euros each. Get yourself along. read more

Great selection of Irish craft beers, good continentals and two Americans on draught, outstanding offering of bottled beers including the best selection of Brewdog I've seen in any pub, TNP and Sink The Bismark being amongst them. Food menu was attractive, but we didn't eat, saving ourselves for a repeat trip to @LMullinganGrocer this evening. read more

Great pub! They have a very wide selection of beers. They have extra seating upstairs if you want to sit with your friends. The food isn't amazing but I do enjoy coming here after work to have a pint. They also have a table outside. Can be really crowded during the week end. read more

Great beers by Galway brewery. Had a couple sample trays of three varieties and settled on a pint of the Galway red. Fish and chips were the best I've had thus far in Dublin. read more

I like this place, its quirky, central and generally good fun. They do a table quiz on Mondays which is great craic. Only downside is that the queue for the bar tends to get mental near closing on the weekends, be sure to stock up! read more

A group of us went here for food. One of the guys had recommended the chicken wings but as we were all pretty hungry we went for club sandwiches and one of us went for the fish and chips. Food was reasonably priced, looked deacent and chips were very tasty. Club sandwich wasnt overly exciting and my friend didnt enjoy the fish. I like this bar for drinks but would not go back for food, maybe the wings. read more

The steak sandwich was awful; a piece of tough, cheap meat on top of a small piece of garlic bread with a mostly rocket side-salad. I was given a butter knife to try and eat this and charged €16 for the privilege. The beers are tasty and the atmosphere is good, just don't go there with a hunger on you and expect a satisfying steak experience. read more

Great place. Lovely staff. Great selection of craft beers.

Friendly staff, board games, great selection of craft beers and all kinds of whiskey. Mostly locals and not all the crowds of Temple bar. Make sure to hit this place up. read more

Amazing assortment of beers. My favourite was the Mongozo - mango craft beer. I will more than likely return. Seating is a bit scattered. Beer lovers haven I imagine read more

Wonderful experience here. We had their craft beer suggestions for lager and pale ale, both outstanding! Fish and chips were quite tasty but huge portions! We finished up with ciders. Yummy! Just a nice/fun place. Never felt rushed and we were there on a pretty busy evening. Strongly recommend! read more

We were in Dublin for a few days from the U.S. and wanted to check out some local craft beers, and decided to check out Against the Grain for lunch. This place was great! The bartender was humorous and attentive. We enjoyed some excellent Galway Bay Brewing offerings and had a really delicious burger. The atmosphere was casual and inviting. We ate at the bar which was perfect. If we had a few more days in town we would have been back for sure. read more

...an extra star and well deserved for noodles and milk Stout. a combination that has got to be tried!!!!

So disappointed. Decided to grab dinner there last night as I was intrigued by their craft beer selection. It was a full house and only 2 guys working so you had to chase them down to order. That's understandable. I ordered the "Haddock Taquitos" for €15 on the mains section. We had to pay for everything upfront. When I received my order it was 2 mini soft tacos not taquitos. There was almost no fish inside, and was missing a few of the accompaniments promised on the menu. Since it was such a hassle to get service, I decided to just eat it even though it was an absolute rip off for the price. The tacos were cold, whatever fish was in there was bone dry, and there was this awful fishy tasting watery sauce that poured out the moment I picked it up. I had 2 bites and waited to try and catch the server. Could not find him anywhere amongst the crowd. Ended up just walking out feeling totally gypped. One star because the beer was good. read more

This is a strange one, I like the beers and I like the idea of the place but I really don't like the actual pub and the find the place far to expensive. Anything that improves the choice of beers is a good thing though. read more

Wouldn't recommend this pub, food wasn't great, service was terrible and the place smells because of the toilets. oh and the glass was filthy. Thanks for nothing. read more

I think this is a great bar - and thankfully the location seems to have shaken off the curse that was laid on it a few years back as the pub is open over a year now. Love the beer selection - and any of the food I've tried has been spot on (though I do agree with previous comments about the chips being too big but hey, thats not a major issue!). As a female I have no problem at all going in on my own for lunch or an after work pint - the staff are really helpful and friendly and I do tend to end up in here at least once a week! Try the 3 Monts in the fridge beside the bar - bear in mind its probably best to share as its a large bottle and 8%! read more

great place to go to catch up with mates especially due to the lack of tvs on the go. Amazing selection of beers and whiskeys to try out and really tasty food. if the chat runs dry then there is a selection of board games to play and they even offer a free beer if you bring in an old unwanted game...top notch!! read more
