Very good steak and Guinness stew! Service was a little slow but it was somewhat busy. Great place to get a Guinness while in Dublin!

Brannigans was the last pub we ate and drank at while in Dublin. Off the Main Street it's a small and quaint pub that offers good service and good food. The bar tender was running the place and did a great job. I was craving a salad and I was happy with my choice. A drunk guy came in and the bar tender turned into a bouncer, lol. Tvs with sports, hubby loved that. Price was decent and off we went. read more

Had so much fun. Went to visit for a BDay celebration. Great place. Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Would definitely go back.

Really enjoyed stopping off in Brannigans after a day of sightseeing and what not. Perfect spot to decompress and relax from a busy day and it's right off the city center. Nice local pub that has a locals feel and an after work pub. Great selection of beers and microbrews. They even had Tuborg beer on draft! old school. They have a nice size menu for food from appetizers such as nachos, wings, to mini sausages to meals like burgers, stew, fish n chip, roast beef and daily sandwiches and soups. Bartenders were all very friendly and great table service. Prices were reasonable on the euro side. If ever in Dublin again, I shall be back! read more

While visiting Dublin we actually chose Brannigans by Yelping places to eat after we returned from an all day bus tour. As soon as you walk in the ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from an Irish Pub! We had a party of 11 and with luck there was room on the second floor! Our waiter Dave was absolutely fantastic and extremely attentive. The food was absolutely awesome! I highly recommend this pub! read more

Came here a month ago on a recent trip with some friends, and we had just gone to the Jameson Distillery tour that day, so coming here in the late afternoon and staying through to evening truly hit the spot. And they do treat you very well here, the whole staff. The first waiter we had finished his shift nearly an hour into us being there and still said goodbye and let us knew who would be taking care of us next. Another place I had put a reservation in for but the staff took us in early as they had the space to. Food and drinks were all great, we even sampled some of the desserts even though the portion sizes for the actual dinner plates were beyond generous. I definitely would recommend this if you are looking for a much more calm pub vibe when visiting Dublin. read more

While on vacation I looked up places to eat based solely on reviews online. This place was close to my hotel and had decent reviews so we decided to try. It was delicious! I had the bangers and mashed and my boyfriend had a roast beef sandwich. Both were delicious. The service was prompt, food was delicious, prices were fair, and didn't have a touristy feel to it. We absolutely will be going back before heading home! read more

Great meal, great service, charming place to grab some fish and chips and enjoy Dublin!

I had a 12 hour stopover in Dublin Airport last year and took the opportunity to visit Dublin. At the end of a lot of walking before taking the bus back to the airport for my evening flight I stopped in at Brannigans which was just off O'Connell Street not too far from the GPO. It was lunchtime and the place had a good crowd but wad not crowded. They had a roastery for lunch and I got the roast beef which came with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and cauliflower with some gravy. The beef was tender and the vegetables fresh. They served horseradish cream sauce on the side. The only complaint is that is was too much food! The pub was cozy and was a great respite from a dreary, cool day in Dublin. Service was friendly and the place was well kept. A great lunch with a Guinness for well less than €20 from what I recall. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food and service! Guinness and beef casserole was great! Even though we showed up early, we were given the option of ordering from the dinner menu. My friends also loved it. read more

Bit of a random pub off O'Connell Street. I popped in for an afternoon drink and I found myself one of the youngest in the bunch. There was your standard group of old men at the bar that the place was probably built around. There was a bit of craic in the place though. I also spotted a Dublin Bus driver in uniform in there! Hopefully they weren't returning to their shift, I kid they sounded like they were done for the day, but with the way I've seen some of those bus drivers handle those buses I wouldn't be surprised! As Annie pointed out the decor is a bit odd, but I suppose that's part o the charm of the place. I mean who doesn't want to be a cowboy? All the booze, gambling and ladies you want right? read more

Brannigans has a limited menu, but what they do offer is done well. I had the Caesar salad wrap and yes, Caesar salad wraps are usually pretty blah, and safe. This one was served warm with bacon and lettuce and the chicken was juicy, not dry. It came with a nice small salad and thick cut fries. The fries were nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My sister got the falafel wrap which she said was good (must've been since I didn't even get a taste) and my father had the roast beef sandwich. Everyone was very satisfied with their meal. read more

Never been to this spot till Thursday last. Lively little spot and this was only around 5pm. There was a great mix of age groups from the young twenties to a cool granny with her pint of Swithwicks and her shopping. Nice little spot, only thing making it stand out from any other Dublin style pub was the American wild west theme that they had going on. Quite odd to see the mounted head of what I think was a bison next to a Guinness sign. Oh there also was a scattering of old rifles around the walls. I think the owner must by a cowboy and western fan as a lot of people from the 1950's generation of Ireland were. It reminded me of my uncle as he knows them all and there also was posters of John Wayne, so I guess if you take in the cultural context of the older generation of Ireland, it all makes sense. Makes you wonder what the pubs will feel like for a Yelp reviewer 50 years from now... Will Lady Gaga's music and bright neon coloured memorabilia sit as comfortably beside a Guinness is good for you sign? Who knows. read more

Dropped in for dinner on my first night! The bartenders were friendly and made great recommendations on the food. I had the Beef and Guinness Casserole, which was heavy enough to hit the spot after a flight in around lunch. I came in hungry for dinner and left satisfied. read more

Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly patrons and staff. Will definitely return when I'm back in Dublin, thank you Mick!

Excellent food and service! Our waiter Dave was the best and the food was so delicious. I would recommend this place and definitely would eat here again next time we are in Dublin. read more

Amazing Beef & Guinness! Lamb stew to die for & peppercorn chicken was divine. Excellent service. Definitely a diamond!

Great food and wonderful staff and service. Very local. The Cottage Beef Pie was the best of our visit.

Popped in here randomly last week. I was looking for a bowl of pub soup, it was one of those days. They had a carvery. There was chicken stir fry. "What's in it" says I "Ehhh, bitta soya sauce, bitta 5 spice, think I put in ginger, bitta chilli and a lot of garlic" he says "Il have that so" says I "Chips and rice love" says he It was so damn good, like my mammy had handed it to me. Quaint pub, old fashioned but warm and friendly. And they do chilli cheese fries on their bar menu. I'm going back to try those. read more

We did the musical pub crawl and this was one of the stops. Very nice atmosphere. We really enjoyed the pub crawl and recommend it immensely. read more

Very nice! Small, not part of any chain, recommended by locals for good food. Tried seafood chowder and Irish beef stew. Both very good. Friendly local patrons, good conversations. read more

Great place for a hearty meal. Friendly service and a genuine feel. Reasonably priced: a generous helping of homemade mash, two sizeable bangers, dark, tasty gravy and caramelized red onions plus a pint of Dublin Blonde will cost you under 20 €. Recommended! read more

Had a wonderful experience here at this cozy and authentic Irish pub. Ordered the Beef and Guinness casserole and it was hearty and delicious. My friend got the fish and chips and was very satisfied with the portion size and quality! (It takes a decent amount of food to fill us up). The chips were spectacular as well (thick cut). This place was recommended to me on the plan ride over from the states "best chips in town and not too expensive" and his advice was spot on. I don't give out a 5 star rating for just anywhere and I think this place warrants just that. In met my standards of exceptional service (friendly and knowledgeable) exceptional food (both quality and quantity) and reasonable price. Highly recommend and would return for a second visit without hesitation! read more

Great first meal. Our party ordered dish and chips, wings, stew, and chicken fingers. Delish

Nice little pub, good lamb stew. We ate upstairs which was much quieter than downstairs. While the food was good, service was slow. It is nicely tucked on a side street away from the hubbub. read more

I love Brannigans for lunch. Nice and quiet at lunchtime. It gets a few older local people and the odd person working in the area, but thats it. Great if you want to chat, without the background noise. Menu is decent and made-to-order sandwiches are great value. read more

Nice little pub in city center, off the main road. It definitely feels like a locals place. The beef and guinness casserole was a large portion and tasted good, though it left me feeling not too great afterward. My dad had the fish and chips and said they were both crispy and fresh. Good place for a laid back bite to eat. read more

With so many bars in Dublin, the food and service at Brannigan's is great. Some of the best fish&chips in the city. Most of the seating is on the first floor with a small upper room, which I assume are for special occasions. Smokers have a tendency to hang out in front of the door, which is fine so long as you are not sitting near the front door. read more

Good spot, good selection of draught beer and whiskeys. The food is really excellent here. The Beef and Guinness casserole is superb. The Chilli cheese fries are out of this world. They do a carvery monday to friday at lunchtime as well. The food stops at 8 on Monday to Friday and at 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. Well worth a drop in. Very good value for the city centre. read more
