Anyway, we arrived in Ireland today, struggled with the car rental place, got situated in our hotel room, and went out for an Irish stout and a meal. And despite Cian's review, we went here anyway because it had a 4.3 on google. This was our first meal ever in Ireland! My wife ordered fish and chips. She loved it and let me try some. It was excellent. I ordered the ribs. A knife was included with the cutlery. The knife was totally unnecessary. The ribs were tender and you can simply pull it apart. They were delicious. The Guinness was my first ever on tap. Now I see what the big deal is about a Guinness draught. We may need to return to Ireland just for that. Thank you Molloys for getting us off to a great start on our Irish "holiday" (we call it "vacation").

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!

Ha, well, if your average student is in their 40s then they're taking up most of the bar at lunch time! I had heard good things about the night and as I was in Tallaght village I thought I'd give the food a try as it was freezing cold outside and I was starving... The menu cards looked a wee bit beaten and the menu only had a short selection of pub food. Somewhat dismayed I must have shown it in my face as a charming waiter appeared with the specials which were all tempting but as it was lunch I settled for the homemade soup (beautifully fresh and not overly creamy) with a hearty triple layered toasted sandwich to soak it up with. Being slightly too early to order a beer (€3.50!) I settled for a couple of warming lattes to help defrost my fingers and mind. A fleeting visit, but one I'd gladly do again no matter the weather!

Ive only ever been there to watch football matches. This is the good part of the place as it had 15 screens. So no matter how busy it gets you are not going to miss much which turned out to be a nuisance tonight with such a bad match. They serve food and have a cocktail list and the pub is comfortable. The reason I gave it a bad review is pretty simple. Some of the people in there are not very friendly. There was quite a few pill popping chungfelas throwing bar mats at chungwans across the floor. Scary stuff;-). That was probably harmless fun but as one of my friends said, I wouldnt like to get drunk in here.

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.

If you want to experience a true Victorian pub in Dublin, The Stag's Head is a beautiful place to…read morestart. 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.

Plus, staffs tried their best to help and serve us with their best smile in this crazy busy time. Hat off for them. - Second time: were not that busy as it was Easter weekend but food was still so lovely. Our eyes are bigger than our belly so we had ordered too much of food but all tasted so lovely especially the chicken wings. Also forget to mention that they offer free ice cream and prawn crackers as well which tasted amazing. Highly recommend this place. It is definitely my new favorite spot for Thai food in town.
