Great cozy Irish pub! Wonderful service and amazing food!…read more My friend and I came to the little town of Enniskerry after exploring Powerscourt and I was really in the mood for lamb so we chose to eat here. And let me tell you, the lamb was phenomenal. Best dish I had on my Ireland vacation. Super tender meat that was perfectly complimented by the root vegetables and mashed potatoes. I ate that dish CLEAN. My friend ordered the fish and chips, and asked if there was any way she could get mashed potatoes instead of fries because she isn't into too much fried food. The restaurant was very accommodating. My friend is also an Ironman and we found out that our bartender was also one as well! They have live music on the weekends I believe. Great atmosphere because the locals will all gather here and sing or dance along.

Fish very bland. Chips always need salt but that was provided, luckily. Way too little ketchup and our server didn't come back very soon so we never got more. Now the fish sandwich--again not much flavor. Very little tartar sauce on it. Lettuce and pickles were a nice touch. Bun was nothing. I think a McDonald's Fillet of fish sandwich is actually better. And a bit cheaper. Go for the drinks, not the food.

The incompetence of the staff behind the bar tonight (July 2024) was jaw dropping. I ordered two drinks off who seemed to present himself as a floor manager. He communicated this to a colleague beside him. The floor managers colleague went off and came back to ask me again the drink i'd ordered. The manager then came back with the two drinks and his colleague came back with two more! The manager looked in disdain (perhaps trying to cover for his colleagues mistake) and accused me of double ordering. I said I had taken it that he had instructed his colleague to get the two drinks. Instead of owning their mistake, the manager pushed me to pay for 4 drinks instead of two. I refused and said I would pay for the two I ordered. The manager then told me to "get the fúck out then". For anyone who used to go here and is considering I recommend avoiding unfortunately, their attitude tonight to customers is atrocious.

Cozy interior and ultra friendly, and hilarious, staff. Everything was delicious. However the real stand out for me was the beer battered huge cod fish and fresh cut thick chips. There is an abundance of take away or fried fish & chips here in Ireland. But this, it was excellent. Pair w a properly poured Guinness and watch some football at the bar. It all made for a perfect relaxing Irish afternoon.

It has a classy vibe but is casual. I had a Cabernet that was good for 6 euro and served in a proper wine glass. For dinner I had the shrimp and crayfish pil pil which is a spicy Spanish dish with a garlic oil and chili sauce and it was incredible! So flavorful with a great heat. I was blown away. Hubs had the Irish Beef and Stout pie and it was also delicious! The gravy was thick and full of mushrooms, while the pastry on top was light and flaky. We were so surprised at the quality of cuisine presented in this tiny village- and at a great price! If you're staying nearby (we were at the Powerscourt and looking for something a bit more reasonable) this is an excellent choice. Just down the road off the main village square. I think we will probably return tomorrow again!

All food was prepared nicely and a good amount of food is provided. I got the fries as a side and they were fine. We ate outside and it was very nice.

By the time we reached this place, we felt we earned every drink and nibble of food. By the time we ventured here, it was my 7th day of driving on the "correct" side of the road for the first time in my life, so the route here was certainly the final boss which required all my driving skills and full focus. The food was delicious and felt like something home cooked by your grandparents. Although I get the impression from locals that this is kind of a touristy place, I did not get that vibe from the atmosphere here. There were people from out of town asking about the dancing show, which is in a separate room and you need to purchase tickets for this in advance. The service here is what you would expect from Europeans: friendly, but slow. They seem to want to make you feel welcome to stay and not rushed out the door. I always feel awkward having to ask for the check, but I am getting better at it Overall, the experience was just what we were looking for: something warm and cozy after a week of dreary, cold Irish weather overlaid on top of our 12+ hour workdays. The table we sat next to were some local roofers who had far more difficult and dangerous jobs than we did, so we ended up leaving this place with a sense of gratitude for our jobs. Energized and refreshed from the long journey, we plowed through the rain and mist back down the mountain to our hotel in Dublin. The main roads here are far easier to traverse than the backroads.

The interior is lovely, soft shades of sage green, with white woodwork and dark wood for tables/bar. A lamp is placed within each of the window alcoves casting a soft light. There are TV's placed in key locations for sports enthusiasts, but they do not monopolize the room. The menu had something for everyone, two of us had the fish of the day, sea bass which was excellent. The service was also very good and we had a great evening. They even made a special birthday dessert with the birthday girl's name in chocolate syrup. A nice touch! It is a new place and seems like it is undiscovered, but would highly recommend, I think they may have function rooms upstairs for small private parties. Located just off the N11 at the Kilmacanogue roundabout Pluck's is a great spot to meet up with friends for dinner or just drinks.
