    Lamb stew
    Gloria H.

    I have the most amazing time. Celtic dancers were amazing and the Traditional Irish lamb stew was great. I loved the music too.

    Musicians and dancers. Hard to see fully.

    Music and dancers were great. So much tradition! Problem was the stage is in the wrong place and no one could see well! Stage is elevated but the ceiling is low with beams running across so you often couldn't see their heads or feet! Food is mediocre. Not worth it for a vegetarian. Temperature was freezing!!! Overpriced for what we experienced.

    What awesome night! The music was great, the dancing was excellent and the food was delicious....!!!! Staff too. Really, really good show and experience...I am very picky and a travel advisor as well! Don't hesitate to book it.

    This show was an amazing feather on our cap for our stay in Dublin. We bought tickets in advance thanks to many recommendations and it did not disappoint! We were seated immediately, and were told that drinks would be separate from what is included in the ticket (to be expected). The food was good, especially for being able to choose from a selection. The entertainment was incredible! I recommend an earlier dinner time in order to catch the whole show- from a Viking, to Celtic music and the dancers as well! I was chosen to go on stage and dance with them- a worthwhile experience! If you're looking for unique dinner plans, look no further.

    Live music and Irish dance show. Booked tickets online the day before, but you can make the purchase in-person as well. It's in a convenient location in Dublin, and the time you pick is the time you start eating your dinner. The actual show doesn't start until 8:30pm. We were a bit late for our 7:30pm seating, but they still got us to our tables right away. There is a lot more singing than there is dancing, which wasn't what we were expecting. The group was good and they did a great job of getting audience participation, but I wish there were more dance performances. They went around the room and asked where everyone was from in the beginning, and also did take musical requests. Your ticket includes a three course meal - the duck confit salad looks a bit like cat food, but it tasted pretty decent. The lamb stew was comforting and for dessert, everyone gets a trio of mini cakes. Obviously a show geared for tourists, but it's a fun time and the dance sequences were cool to watch.

    It is a touristy dinner show. The atmosphere was loud, lively and fun. It's understood that tourists don't come here for food, but for the Celtic experience. It is a big venue that hold more than 300 diners. Long, natural wood tables can sit 12. If booked in advance, one can get a better view. We ran into this place and booked on the same day and our table was on the side view of the stage, so it was not ideal but wasn't that bad. I walked to the center of the room whenever there was a dance performance to get a better view. There were lots of interactions between musicians, dancers and audiences. An Icelandic man played the spoons with the band, a preteen girl went up to sing a song. The dancers invited audiences to dance with them. There were cheers and sing alongs. I enjoyed it tremendously. The food wasn't refined or delicious, but it was decent and fairly good. The prices were reasonable. I didn't mind the tourist trap vibe because from what I could see, everyone had a swell time. We ordered: 4*Duck Confit Salad served with poached Pears, Rocket & Orange Sauce: surprisingly good, mixed flavors: sweet and salty. 2*Prawn Salad served with Mixed leaves & Porter Bread: Do not order this. 3*Irish Lamb Stew served with Puff Pastry Lid: tender meat without too much flavor, but pretty good. 3*Honey & Thyme Glazed Roast Chicken Supreme served with Root Vegetable Colcannon, Sweet and Sour Red Onions, Sugar snap Peas & Red wine gravy: per normal. 2*Arlington Assiette of Desserts included Strawberry Cheesecake, Baileys Cheesecake, Guinness Mousse: very ordinary.

    I think I was expecting the food to be not that great considering this was a dinner show, but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked everything I ordered. I started with the duck confit salad. The duck was cooked nicely and wasn't overdone. The pears and orange sauce with it was delicious giving a sweet and salty taste when mixed together. For my main course I got the Irish lamb stew. I personally love lamb, so I knew this was going to be a good dish for me. The lamb fell apart when you took a fork to it. My second option would have been the beef & Guinness because that sounded very good. Everyone received the same dessert trio: mini Strawberry cheesecake, baileys cheesecake and Guinness mousse. I ate them all haha. As for the entertainment, it was alright. Very cheesy, and I highly recommend going with a group. I went solo and got seated at a table with a bunch of other solo attendees. They were not very lively, and I feel like if I was with people I knew I would have had a better time. If you're looking for good music and you're solo, best to just walk around Temple Bar and listen for music you like.

The authentic Victorian setting, the Victorian mahogany fittings, the mosaic marble tiled floors and granite tabletops, the mahogany bar, capped with red Connemara marble, follows the classic Victorian architectural pattern. The staff are helpful, friendly and patient since their accent is hard to understand sometime. My 1st beer and 1st Irish food, all I can say is what a meal, just simple delish. Being here is just a wondrous experience, the place is cosy, warm and the friendly of the people. So glad I picked this place as my first of Dublin.

Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

    Stopped in for lunch and we're seated promptly at a table for two. Need to mention that seating is…read moreeither high top or booth and stool seating. Stools are ok but not super comfortable. Menu has a good selection of Irish dishes from seafood chowder up to lamb stew and pies. We ordered the potato soup, seafood chowder, 'banjo' burger with onion rings. The soups arrived first and the seafood chowder was loaded with huge pieces of fish, potatoes (not many) with a creamy rich base. Flavor was incredible and in itself a full meal. Served in a large crock style bowl. The potato soup was minus any whole potatoes. It was a rich creamy base with plenty of flavor and very hearty. The burger was really a double cheeseburger with plenty of cheese, grilled onions, what appeared to be a mayonnaise based sauce on a soft hamburger roll. Really tall enough that it was tough getting your mouth around it. Very well seasoned burgers and the onions were a nice touch. The onion rings were huge and had a very light batter on them. They served in a metal bowl to keep them hot. For dessert the apple crumble was ordered which was served in a large dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This could have been warmer but still was good.. The 5 star rating is for the chowder as it outshone the rest of the meal although the burger was definitely a close second. Definitely will return to try other dishes when we come back to the city.

The meat and veggies were plentiful, the portion generous, and it was tasty enough but maybe on the bland side? It was served with a side of braised red cabbage which we really liked: sweet but not sour like pickled cabbage. And house-made brown stout bread, also very good. The wife had a Guinness and I, thinking it too cliché to order Guinness as a tourist in Ireland, tried a different stout whose name I've forgotten from the ample selection. But comparing the two, so much better! The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Irish dishes, more than most of the similar pubs in the area. As well as the other expected pub type food: sandwiches, burgers, etc. As for desserts, if we were hungrier, the wife might have ordered the Irish Whiskey Bread & Butter Pudding. The hubby would probably get his dessert later, as the selection was limited and neither that nor the Apple Crumble appealed. Sitting at the bar we had a more personalized experience than were we at a table. The bartender offered to take a photo of me behind the bar which I of course accepted. We made the right choice in coming here.
