Lovely decor, friendly staff. Food was delicious. We ordered Gambas Pil Pil, cheesy garlic bread, and buffalo wings to start. Loved them all. Highly recommend the Dublin Bay Prawn Linguini as a main course. Will be back! read more

Went there today with family to celebrate my daughter's engagement. Starters mixed , some lovely , some not so . mains, chicken was over cooked , but the burgers were literally raw ! Didn't realise until the end , when 3 of our group in their 20s had food on their plates , unheard of !! They didn't want to say anything to spoil the occasion hugely disappointing, hoping we don't get food poisoning. We were told we didn't have to pay for the raw food ! Special once in a life time occasion ruined . Will never be back !! read more

Family trip to Ireland 2022! Pleasant surprise stay in Skerries! Food was nice, good portions, and the waitress was very attentive. The pricing was a little higher than usual but probably due to harbor views. You need reservations as walk ins have longer waits. Go for the fish chowder soup! Delicious and so was the fish and chips. Another great choice was the risotto! read more

Lady at the front told us our reservation had been cancelled because she claimed we didn't send our card details even though we definitely did send them - our reservation was made a month ago and they didn't bother to get in touch with us during that entire time - she also was rude and treated us as if this was all our fault- and they did have a table anyways so all that drama was unnecessary - we still spent our money there but the place is just not what it used to be read more

Well Yelp let us down with this one. We walked in and had to tell the waiter twice we would like to sit outside. Finally were seated and ordered and it took a bit, then I waited 20 minutes for him to come over to get my coleslaw that came with our meal that I didn't get and to ask for some mayo. Then we waited for the check for a good half hour after eating. Horrible service. Then my husband and I both barely made it back to our B&B where we were both fighting for the bathroom because our burgers we both had made us extremely sick. Not a good experience and I wouldn't recommend going here unless you really want a close relationship with your toilet for several hours. read more

Tip: book early as it gets really busy on Sundays. Our first time here, we wanted to try the award winning chicken wings. Got to the pub at 2:30 and it was packed! We got a table at the back (lobster room). Ordered the award wining chicken wings with chips on the side. Good wings, wasn't the best but they were tasty. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. read more

I've been to Blue Bar on numerous occasions and the food has never let us down truth be told. The only downside about the place is its so popular! It can be so busy on a weekend night. On our latest visit we had the Ploughmans Sharing Platter as a snack. I might agree with Rachel L and say it's not really enough for two people, but then again it's a sharing starter from what we could tell from the menu. It could do with more bread and less smoked cheese. Maybe some cheddar? it is a ploughmans after all. Apart from that it was very good. We only wanted a small snack, so it was perfect. Another thing, I liked their water. 1 EUR for a glass per person, but refills are free. This include sparkling water. read more

The Blue bar has a nice outside terrace overlooking the bay, so on a nice days try to grab one of those seats. We were sitting inside in a corner, it was quite dark but cozy. I liked all the nautical decorations, For years I have been reading about those wings in Blue Bar, that supposedly are the best wings in Ireland. I ordered the small portion (9 euro), which was actually loads, and I couldn't finish them. So a large portion would definitely be for sharing. Those wings were pretty darn good! They were big, meaty and juicy. The sauce was a little bit sweet with a bit of kick afterwards. My preference is to have them a little spicier and less sweet, but that's my own personal taste. My skinny fries were more like shoestring fries, not much taste of them to be honest. Overall experience: good wings, but didn't wow me to bring me back here for more. The rest of the menu I found to be quite expensive (mains around 20 euro, which is quite steep for lunch!) Also, we had to wait almost one hour for our food to be brought out. read more

We just arrived in Dublin, and immediately with out asking we were told to come to Blue Bar for their wings. Not disappointed! Saucy and just fell off the bone. Atmosphere is like a Hampton place on Long Island,NY. Lovely staff, clean and reasonably priced. Sit outside, even if it's cold. They have heaters. read more

Food was OK but the service was VERY slow. It took them 25 min to bring the starters and another 25 to bring the mains. Staff were nice, btw. Food was also expensive. Nice beer selection tough read more

We had a nice seafood meal here a while back with fresh lobster and crab. For starters we shared the wings as we heard so much about them. Everything, including the wines we had, was lovely. We were seated in a comfy booth towards the back so its wasn't too noisy. The service was okay, the interior is quite nice if you are into the whole nautical/maritime theme. It was pretty packed on a Thursday evening so if you are a group, book ahead just to be on the safe side. read more

Blue Bar in the sun or rain is the perfect spot. Staff are awesome. The place is so busy but it's tab so well. I have no complaint on this place. The for is varied, seasonal and perfectly presented. Great selection of beverages. And I love the local touch with the water bring used too print rnli read more

If you're a fan of chicken wings, you've got to come here. Although in Blue Bar, they're called buffalo wings. I asked my date what the difference is between chicken and buffalo wings. He hesitated before saying: "You know buffalos don't have wings, right?" I know I'm blonde but I'm no Jessica Simpson, thank you very much. Having cleared that up, I ordered the junior portion which is almost as big as the grown-up one. Then, I had to stop caring about making a mess and simply enjoy this delicious dish. P.S. Google has since informed me that buffalo wings were first created in Buffalo, New York. Also, check out this short clip showing you how to eat chicken wings. Properly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRcOY-PvOC8 You're welcome. read more

Sitting right on the harbour in Skerries, looking out on the boats and the water, Blue is on to a winner from the off with respect to location. We were here twice in the same night: once for food, and then later we were back post-gig for beers. There's a bustling restaurant wrapped around the large central bar downstairs, and an upstairs bar then becomes more clubby, with DJs, tunes and shaking and grooving as the night goes on. Food was great. Manu has quite a wide selection, apparently the burgers are excellent, as are the hot chicken wings (served Elephant And Castle style). We skipped all that though and went for a selection of their starters and their sharing plates which you can eat tapas stye. Great prawns (we had both types - gambas and sizzling), a very creditable caesar salad, patatas bravas, and a lovely mezze sharing plate with hummus, olives, etc was all very good, and pretty well priced. Staff are great, place is buzzy and clearly a local institution, and all in all makes for a great atmosphere and a nice place to "hang". Later that night we were back - this time just for beers. Upstairs are getting in to swing when we arrived: DJ-powered music selection that ticked all the boxes for the locals, good beer selection, and nice ambience. I'd highly recommend it if you're anywhere near Skerries - or even consider it as part of a weekend trip or drive. Afterwards you can take a stroll on the beach or around the harbour. read more

Great service and even better food. Not much needs to be said, best chicken wings in Dublin. Went on a Sunday afternoon and expected to be waiting like you would in elephant and castle, but were given a table straight away. Will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Blue Bar came highly recommended as one of the best spots in Skerries. We've been several times now for their very talked about chicken wings which are good. They are crispy and meaty, but the sauce is a little thick and a bit sweet. We've also sampled other items on the menu, good, but nothing spectacular. The service is also a bit slow. It's worth a try but are definitely giving other restaurants in Skerries a try on out next visit. read more

A bit pricey but well worth it. The best Moroccan chicken and potatas bravas I've had. Very generous portions and our server Georgia was the best, friendly and funny too and gawjus! We will be back. read more

The one and only beautiful Blue Bar. Probably the best wings in all of Ireland. Yes, even better than Elephant and Castle. You can quote me on that. I decided to treat my husband to a wonderful sunny Sunday out in Skerries. One of the real reasons I wanted to go was to deal with my hankering for some decent wings. As the weather was so stunning, I fully expected to be waiting a while for my table. Not so! The waiter very quickly seated us in a lovely dark booth at the back of the restaurant. We didn't even need to look at the menu. Two portions of wings each, please. Extra blue cheese dip and one garlic dip also. I was quite optimistic. While the price might seem a bit steep to others - 14e a portion, it is a huge portion. I only managed to get through about one third of mine. One to share would have been plenty, but alas my eyes were bigger than my stomach. My husband opted for an old fashioned, being the classy gentleman that he is. He said it was brilliantly done and had no complaints. Staff are friendly and efficient. I have been here on very busy days and I can say the staff are just as friendly when they are busy. Excellent service, very quick. Excellent food. Just 100% excellent all round. It's not a 5* wow experience, but to be honest I can't even think what could be done to improve the experience. I guess I reserve my fifth star for that really special something. read more

I brought two of my tourist friends here for lunch. We originally wanted to go to stoop your head next door but it was too full so decided on blue bar because of the good reviews. How we were dissapointed!!! The bar itself is very cool. The decor is great and it has a wonderful atmosphere but that is where it ends. The staff were friendly but very slow to come and take our order. The food was ridiculously over prices for a bar. We got the seafood platter and calamari. The platter was very small with not much of selection. The lobster was delicious but the crab was doused in Mayo so you couldn't even taste the meat. My friend got the burger which was dry and over cooked. All in all I won't be back. The food was okay but no way near the quality it should have been for the price they charged. read more

Service was ok, staff was not the best trained. The food was forgettable, not the best value. I ordered the chowder, and my boyfriend the ribs. the chowder was served with those bowls with the wide border, by a young lad that tipped it over to his thumb. When he placed the soup down, I can see the soup go back to the bowl, having had touched his thumb. Not the best prequel to a meal.... The BBQ ribs were very tender but the sauce was very odd tasting. I can tell they were trying to do a kind of chinese style sauce, but it was way too sweet and runny. definitely not BBQ style! I probably won't be back, but the atmosphere was nice. Its ashame, because it's hard to find a place with good ambience like this but to be offset by the service of the staff and the quality and value of the food. read more

Love everything about blue.. Setting on the seafront, to die for chicken wings.. Be careful tho the large portion is huge. Between two it's even big!!! Burgers are yum. Can b very busy during summer months. Be prepared to give ur name and sit at bar or grab a drink and go outside onto harbour. Cocktail menu is nice too.. read more

Hit and miss. The food has always been nice. Sometimes the bar is just too busy and you can be left standing around waiting for a table to become available which isn't pleasant. I've been here a few times. Loved some visits, others were a disappointment. I always think of it as taking a risk when we decide to go here. read more

Outstanding food great service and a fantastic atmosphere. The best ribs I have ever had.

Had lunch in blue bar today, food was ok but portions are quite small. Went for a sharing portion which was barely enough for one person. It is a very comfortable place to dine with nice decor, unfortunately the waitress that served us wasn't very pleasant. It's fair to say it felt like we were an inconvenience to her. The customer service alone would stop me returning. read more

Great atmosphere, good food, yummy cocktails, and fabulous staff. The location finishes everything off perfectly. Recommend for both family and friends catch up, always a memorable time read more

Have been so many times, and it is worth the hype. Love, love, love the wings and cannot recommend them enough!! The drunken chicken noodles are excellent and I have yet to have a bad burger from Blue! Be prepared to wait for a table as it is such a popular spot. read more

Lovely setup and atmosphere. Busy place at weekends. Wings are amazing, other foods we ordered was not so good. Returned pasta dish and calamari was average. Go for wings! read more

As my girlfriend love the wings at least once a month she twists my arm to go to Blue, so today was one of them days we went over and went for dinner, as I've sampled most of the menu apart from the fish just not my thing but each to their own, I haven't had the wing in a while so I went for them with a side of fries and the blue cheese sauce. The food that they serve is top I've never left the place saying that the food wasn't nice or their was something wrong with the food we are alway satisfied with our meal. The place is always clean and warm with a nice vibe about it for a meal. Now that aside the reason I took away two stars is firstly the staff are not what you would call friendly or do they attempt to be I could go on about them but I'll sto their. Secondly we were seated at the table that is at the bar, tables that they squeezed right up against the bar, not the biggest table by any stretch of the imagination only for we took everything off the table and put it on the bar beside us we would have had to put our food on our laps, their was bigger tables that were empty and stayed empty till we left that we could have been seated at. But sitting beside the bar you get to hear the staff chat about the people that they are serving and how much of a pain they are. As I said at the start we go over at least once a month and the food is great but the staff lets the place down even when ur paying it seams like an inconvenience to them. Really only for the girlfriend loves the wing so much I wouldn't be in to much of a rush to go back. read more

Third time to try blue bar after hearing so many good things about it. The food is enjoyable but very overpriced. The difference in price for a large (€14.95) and small (€9.95) wings is way too high given there is a difference of about 4 wings. I was here a couple of times, both on busy Sundays and we put the very slow service down to that however my last trip to blue bar was on Monday and it was quiet. The service was exactly the same, still very slow and seriously lacking in attention to detail. The staff are friendly but frustratingly don't ever seem to keep an eye on any tables so your constantly looking for them for drinks, clearing plates, water bowls and side plates for wings etc. They also don't clear the tables properly between courses and there are long waits in between even when it's not busy. We also got charged for two coffees which we didn't have and only realised when we got home. This was refunded with an apology from management. On reflection I don't think I would return given the overall experience which I find just disappointing. read more
