Ample parking and the fireplace was roaring as you walk into the restaurant. Cute pub decor with many booth-like seats for privacy or large parties. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who told us the specials & soup of the day. The menu choices were great, a little bit of everything and the kids menu for $7 included a drink, main meal and ice cream dessert. Meal sizes were massive!!! So arrive hungry. Chicken curry was delicious and came with big chunks of chicken and chips. The Chicken burger was juicy, did I mention the portion sizes are giant!! :) Our waitress, Laurie, was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She always had a smile and was checking in on our party periodically to make sure everything was ok. Truly a gem! We will for sure go back! Delicious food, & great service!

We chose this location because of the previous reviews on Yelp; our decision is one that I…read moredefinitely do not regret! I ordered the Penne Carbonara - the absolute best I've ever had, and I've had some of the best New York and other areas have to offer. The service is phenomenal, and the food came out relatively fast. The dining environment is comparable to a lodge house with exposed rafters and couches to compliment the comfortable seating arrangements. Kind staff and great prices; highly recommend.

Good for the sport of a Saturday, we attended a great midweek pub quiz there a couple of months ago. Solid, suburban and unspectacular. Not the place that you would actively seek out, it is however somewhere that you are glad that you came to once you get there.

Huge huge projection screens all over and the drinks are great! Great staff all over and be sure to tip them, they greatly appreciate it! If you love smoking, seat outside and if you cannot stand smoking, sit inside (my pick). Cannot get better than this for a sports bar!

"BAMBOLEO BAMBOLEO Porque mi vida, yo la prefiero vivir asi"…read more Closely followed by the classic tones of: "Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena Hey Macarena!" etc. Apparently the whole Spanish speaking population of Dublin reside here and have taken complete control of the jukebox and the dance floor. The space looks non descript from the outside but inside it's huge. It's like a proper American style sports bar. Great place to watch the match, might catch the hurling here today. They do food... Pool tables! That made me rather happy. A lot of students and the new multicultural faces of Dublin united with their love of good drink offers. I really like this place, it's just really happy! I would not be a regular though as I'm a tad too employed to be hanging out here all day like some of the dedicated students ;) I can be a cow like that because I did my degree in the student bar in my uni.

Came here to watch a soccer match and got a great seat. Very clean place with a good variety on the menu. If you are staying at Temple Hotel they provide you a 10% discount which is a nice bonus. Had the Irish Beef Casserole and have to say it was excellent with a good portion. And have to say again the staff here are excellent. Will be back next time in Ireland. Want to for sure award this place my 5+ rating ... and almost forgot the live music was solid! Cheers

I only come around Christmas, so I can't speak to how it is at other times of the year…read more It's surprisingly a good option for days when everyone is looking to go out because there is a large dining area (inside and covered and heated patio). The food is also surprisingly good. They even have a handful of craft beers in addition to the old standards, though the wine isn't an option you should go with. The only issue, again potentially due to the time of year I go, is the service is very inconsistent. You could be waiting 30 minutes for your beer, or you could have one delivered the second you finish your first.

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.
