    How fun! We visited here on a Friday evening for dinner and drinks. The area is a small little village with a pedestrian time downtown. When I say downtown I mean approximately 4 to 6 blocks businesses and those are small blocks. The streets are open to vehicles but there is no parking on the street. This was my first visit to this location and it did not disappoint. We were recommended to come here by our hotel shuttle driver. I felt like we were probably the only visitors in the place. I of course love that in a place. We tried the seafood chowder, that was tasty, there was a mussel floating around in the bottom which I'm not a big fan of however the soup was creamy and had good flavor. Believe that was six or seven euros. I had the Guinness pie with mashed potatoes. Others at the table at the fish and chips, the bacon cheeseburger, and I believe a chicken dish. The menu is quite small. The Guinness pie it was quintessential Irish comfort food, it was exactly what it purports to be. Was clearly cooked for a very long time and developed a rich intense meaty flavor. There were no vegetables in it whatsoever it was just a meet and greet me with a inflated piece of puff pastry on top. It was solid food, not spectacular exactly what it is supposed to be. This is simple pub food not fine dining. The fish and chips was heavy and enough for two persons. It comes with a 2 ounce ramekin of mashed peas which are somewhat interesting although they could have used some salt. The mashed potatoes were homemade and had a great texture or however they too could have used some salt and butter. I added my own salt and butter and they became excellent. The burgers were nicely done, they do not ask what temperature you want it you basically get it medium well. Atmosphere was great, we were surrounded by locals were having a few drinks and chatting with their neighbors. It is pretty amazing the amount of Guinness and other beers I saw being consumed with no noticeable effect. As we were finishing a band was setting up to play and I'm kind of sad I missed it. The service was friendly and well-informed, she did a great job and frankly everything about it was exactly the way it should be. It's too bad that this location is 3000 miles away from home because I would love to come back here weekly.

    Great service, great food and great beer. What more could you want. Nachos to start , more than enough for two and then the Guinness pie - with Guinness!! Winner

    Went to Gilbert & Wright in Malahide and have to say I would not be recommending it ever again…read more Buying my first glass of wine I was stared at by a second bar girl who asked me was I going to pay for my wine. I had already paid the girl that had served me?! On my second glass of wine and needed the toilet, while leaving my glass with a little wine in it. On arriving back from toilet my wine was gone. Mentioning this to the lounge boy he politely informed me he would check what had happened. A few minutes later and I get a visit from what this pub calls a 'manager' (name witheld) and apart from him being enraged, he simply denied that my wine was ever taken, then proceeds to shout over me and act in a very confrontational manner, squaring up to me while roaring into my face. This 'manager' guy at Gilbert & Wrights would not even allow me to politely articulate my issue. His default mode was shouting full denial into my face. Not wanting to get barred from here, I felt I had no other option but to forget about my wine and go purchase another glass at the bar. This review is not about a wine glass, it's about Gilbert & Wright's response to my very polite comment about their removal of my drink. For to be treated in this manner by their raging 'manager' is inexcusable and I will not be returning here any time soon. Gilbert & Wright Malahide please get your act together and stop insulting your customers. AVOID Gilbert & Wright Malahide at all costs.. AVOID !

    Superb place to go for a few cocktails and music. Frequently has live music or dj. Great staff and…read morevery friendly bartenders. Nice place to visit after a lovely dinner nearby. Been here severalllllll times and never been disappointed. More suited for 25 plus crowd.
