McGills food was hearty and portioned well, Our party had the short ribs which were very salty, hamburger was very good so were the fries and children's chicken strips. The service on the other hand was not good. We had to ask for everything all the way through dinner. No one came to check on our table unless we called them over. No cutlery was brought to table until we asked. Food was already delivered and still no forks. 3 Tables around us were sat after us and got their food before us. They had same type of food we had. Soup was delivered with no spoon. We had to ask two different people until finally someone brought one. So for food I'd do 3 for service 2, Will I go back? Yes because the servers all though not attentive were kind and apologetic. That deserves a second chance. Will update next time I go!

Went in for sunday lunch with my mum, she had a half portion at €14.95 of the beef roast which she…read morewas happy with. I am vegetarian and so ordered the "coach house curry" with vegetables which was an astonishing €20.95. This curry comprised of exactly the same veg as my mum had on her plate mixed in what tasted like instant powder curry sauce on top of some rice, the type of generic brown curry sauce you get on chips after a rake of pints. This is the signature "Coach House Curry".4 hours later its still repeating on me. When paying the bill I commented that the curry was extremely bad value with cooked veg mixed with packet curry sauce for €21, the barmaid commented "well I like it". I grew up in the area and its decades since i was in the Coach, and may be again afer that experience. Terrible terrible food experience which was grossly overpriced.

They have big screens too if you want to watch football and there is usually a good atmosphere for the bigger games. The Sunday carvery in here is not particularly good in my opinion, I only had it once but I never had it again purely because it was dry and tough and not very tasty the first time I had it. It is a very local pub for those living in ballinteer and you will always get your regulars in here but you don't get an unwelcoming sense when you come in like you would in other local pubs.

We were told they had great fish and chips and each day its prepared fresh with the catch of the day which just so happened to be haddock. It came with peas and tartar sauce and French fries and a lemon wedge. The fish was soooo tasty and incredibly tender, the batter on the fish was very very mild and could have used some seasoning. I also appreciated the fact that a waiter was able to adjust tables to seat our large party and everyone that waited on us was very kind. It's a good spot and if you're in the area like we were I recommend ! The location is also nice and I love how it's decked out with a lot of old and local bar and brewery signage.

After we drunk the coffees some musitians arrived, so we decided to stay for some pints. We waited for the waiter to come and take a new order but he kept running up and down without considering us. Eventually, around 16:10 the manager came asking in a rude manner if we were to dring something, so we said yes and ordered some pints. Right after the waiter came to place a "reserved" plate on our table. So I asked what's the meaning and they answered that there were customers coming at 17:00, I replied back that we were customers already sitting it that place, he said they have a policy for customers drinking only to stay max 2 hours at the table. I went to speack with the manager and the answer was the same. I felt unwanted and poorly served. I believe such rudness cannot be forgiven. Never again in such place where they do not know the basic rules of savoir-faire, quality service and politness. Moreover, the place was dirty and the coffee quality was questionable!

All the girls can sit around nattering over their wine while the boys get stuck into the sport. Its family friendly, so you can expect kids running around every now and again but it's a lovely, airy, bright bar and the food is really good. It's fancy pub grub - like chicken burgers, steak, pasta etc. It's also a really nice place to go for Sunday lunch and my sister raves about its breakfast! Only thing is that it is a little far out if you don't live nearby, but if you wanted to go for a nice drive to Enniskerry or something, it would be a good place to stop for lunch.

This was my first meal in Ireland, and my first experience of Guinness 0.0. We were lucky to be given the last table, as it was Friday night, and there were bus-loads of tourists (for upstairs space). Guinness 0.0 turned out to be too bitter for me, but my husband happily finished my pint, after finishing his own. I was then recommended to try their alcohol-free Chardonnay, which was very nice and more suited my palate. One usually goes to a pub to drink with friends, and wouldn't expect much from the food offerings, but this place obviously puts a lot of thought and effort into their cooking, both in taste and in presentation. Good drinks, good food, and good company, in a loud and happy space - a perfect Irish experience!

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.

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.
