We stopped here, travel-weary, for a first dinner in Ireland. We ordered the roast beef with…read moreYorkshire pudding, peas, carrots and potatoes (fried whole and mashed) and the chicken curry with half rice and half chips. My friend ate a side of onion rings. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, very tender and juicy. It is pretty unsalted, which I like, but my friend said it wasn't enough. The side of rich, brown gravy made up for it adding the right amount of saltiness to the beef. Carrots and peas were a tad soft, but flavorful and good mashed potatoes. I wasn't wild about the whole fried ones. The Yorkshire pudding was pretty dreadful and seemed to be backed hours prior because it was rubbery and chewy. The chicken curry was good, a little sweet, but good amount of curry flavor. Chips and rice were great. The onion rings were good. Not stellar, not bad. Just solidly good! Guinea's was perfect in terms of being served at the right temp and they have half pints, which made me happy! This place was very, very loud. It was distractingly loud, but if you want sports and good beer, you are in the right spot. Lots of families with little ones for dinner. Service was good.

I was dropped off in a lovely little village and happened upon The Lord Mayors during my walk. My friends and I were greeted by a very friendly waitress.

For an American traveling to Ireland this was "exactly" what we wanted from a stop at a pub…read more Friendly service, while the menu was strictly pub/bar fare, it was excellent, good portions, tasty and served hot. I got a kick out of seeing what appeared to be 1/2 liter beer/ale glasses but then it WAS a pub in Ireland. The prices were what I considered excellent as well. A bonus was the table full of what I would guess to be local musicians playing "traditional" Irish music, accordions, lots of guitar, a guy with 8-10 various flutes, tin whistles etc, another gentleman had various harmonica's, a drum (Bodhran) player and one of the guitar players had an Irish bouzouki - mandolin - lute kinda thingy that sounded beautiful. In all there were at various times from 9-12 players in all. The session was wonderful, playing the typical goodbye to love forever mixed with foot tapping let's be happy variety of tunes. Growing up listening to Irish music, I felt very much at home sitting there and it fit perfectly with the overall atmosphere of the pub, more like a gathering of friends not seen in a long time verses the euro-centric chic feeling of other places we happened across. If in Swords you could do a lot worse I'm sure, while not an expert on the Irish Pub scene, as I mentioned earlier this was an Irish American's mental image of of a night in Dublin.

Came here for the authentic Irish pub experience while on our trip to Dublin…read more The pub was large and beautiful! It had a lovely wooden interior feel and the bench seating.

I ate here in a pinch after realizing my chosen restaurant was just a takeaway place, and I wanted…read moresomething better to see myself off from Ireland. So I at least accomplished that. The seafood chowder here is yet another variation - I only saw fish in there although the menu said shellfish, but there were large chunks of fresh and smoked fish. Since their posted specials (outside) are only available on weekends (thanks, sign - but at least they were honest about it before bringing me anything I had to pay for), I tried the posh fish & chips. It was pretty good - definitely not your usual fish & chips, and the portion was deceptively decent. The sauce was too light on flavour and portion to really work with the potatoes, which were perfectly crisped Irish golds by the way. The fish was crispy outside and had the hint of cured/salty-smoky on the inside, definitely a lighter smoke on the salmon than you might get in Canada or New York. I washed it down with something else you don't really see in the states, Smithwicks pale ale. (Unlike most Irish pubs, there were mostly lighter beers here, pales and lagers, with Guinness holding down the dark side alone.) Nothing to write home about, but at least I ended the day on a high note.

My favourite thing to do is get a a bowel of freshly made porridge drizzled with maple syrup and a big hot steaming mug of tea, before an early flight. Once you pay for your tea/coffee you can get as many top ups as you want so if you are a caffine addict then this it the best place to buy your hot drinks! They have a great choice of fresh pastries and the lemon drizzle cake is gorgeous. I always get a slice to bring with me on the plane :-)

Second came and was much lighter in color, the first had a dark brown color. Second was lime colored. I asked if they brought me the wrong drink. The server too it back and brought a replacement like the first. They told us that the first was made with a bit of Guinness and was a special version. So I can't say what a true Irishman tastes like. The Kerry Way for my wife. Dingle gin with mint , cucumber slice and elderberry tonic. A tad bitter for our tastes but OK. Burrata - bread, cheese, and thin slice of charred squash, with some greens on the side. Very good starter. Lager battered cod -mint peas and fries. Good and very crisp. My wife had the chowder. It was OK, not as much chunks as some others. Service was OK.

The bartender greeted us and we placed orders for two Guinness beers, a no-brainer since Guinness stout originates from the very city (Dublin) that we were standing in.

If you're looking for a cozy environment to throw back a couple brews or enjoy a bite or two, I suggest checking out The Gate Clock Bar!
