Also preclearance is the worst thing ever. I would rather go through customs at JFK. Honestly ridiculous.

"The Birthplace of Guinness". Well ye can't get better than that!…read more The Village Inn is on the site of the old brewery in which Arthur Guinness brewed his first beer way back in 1709. With a pedigree like this, you would expect to find the finest pint of Guinness in the land within those four walls. And you wouldn't be let down. Creamy consistency. Perfect pour. Careful consideration of the Black Stuff. Beyond the Guinness, the management of this watering hole take a commendable interest in keeping things lively and the regulars (and not-so-regulars!) stimulated and happy to be there. From drinks promotions to a trad night on a Thursday, various bands on a Sunday (excellent Sunday Sesh to be had here folks, for those inclined), to poker nights, six screens for watching sport in the lounge, and a function room with private drinks taps on each table. Bar staff are really friendly here too - they've all been there for ages so are well versed on the lay of the land. The lounge serves breakfast from 10am to 12 noon, carvery lunch is also available daily and bar food is served throughout the day. Above all, the pub has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. There is a lounge and a bar, with a perfect little snug right next to the bar if you can get down there in time and beat the locals. If you ARE in the bar, make sure you also save all your receipts, because every Sunday, each receipt is put in a draw to win a pot of money to go towards funding those ever-so-tasty beverages (minimum of €500 each week!!!!)

This is a true speakeasy, which is really hard to come by. It's suggested to make a reservation…read morebecause they fill up quickly. We visited twice, and the first time was on a Wednesday night. They were able to accommodate us mid-week without a reservation, but Friday night we made one to come back. There were gobs of people waiting to get in so we're glad we did! The entrance is very non-descript. It's an ugly grey metal door with VCC randomly applied, so if you didn't know what was there it would look industrial. There is a door bell to the left of the door. Ring it a few times and someone will open the door and check you in. With reservations they do make you wait until exactly that time so don't be alarmed. Your table is already selected for you. The inside is loungy and very swanky. Both times we had extremely comfortable chairs. Service is immaculate. Their menu is massive, very well published and explained. Our servers were both able to explain exactly what the cocktail may taste like as some of the combos might blow your mind. I had the Dirty Wizard which sounds odd on based on ingredients but was delicious. I also had the Purple Pearl which was my perfect cocktail. My husband tried a few different whiskey concoctions and he was impressed by all of them. I highly recommend adding VCC to your Dublin itinerary!

On the way back from Galway to Dublin, I asked the GPS for "Sunday roast" and that led me here…read more Great choice as the arrival at around 2pm on Sunday meant that they still had everything available. Warmly greeted and brought to a table, a waitress took our order and brought back beer a few minutes later. And then the meal arrived. A thick sliced of roast beef on top of mashed and roasted potatoes with other vegetables. All topped with a rich gravy. The beer was cold, the meal was tasty and there were certainly enough potatoes. Other than the beef being a bit more well done than I would have liked, it was quite good. Inside, the background music was peaceable and this was a pleasant stop for the roast.

It arrived looking very 'gray' , rubbery, dense, and completely tasteless - it was obviously a pre-cooked something that had been thrown in the microwave.

Had to wave her down for any service even though the place was very slow. Not good-wasted money in this economy is sad.

Hmm this is a toughie to mark…read more On the one hand, I can't stand these types of places. On the other hand, as 'these places' go, it's probably one of the best! Right let's go for the objective marking. ("Marking"?! Do I think I'm a teacher or something?!) - It does what it says on the tin. It's a general, all ages late bar that's there for havin the craic. Pretentiousness can be left firmly at the door - When you are going in for a full night of popular music, you may as well hear it from a live band, versus an awful DJ (who does come on after the live band btw..) - As mentioned above - it's all ages. If you're a cougar on the prowl, there's plenty of pray here for ya, but if you're wanting to celebrate a 40th birthday, or equally a 21st, there's room for everyone in the Roost! - Drinks aren't too expensive, and there's no cover charge - Bouncers are friendly and there's rarely trouble here besides drunken ladies falling down the stairs (of which there are many - watch out if you're debuting your new 5 inchers in here, ladies!) - It doubles up as a nice quiet and relatively cosy pub during the day. So there ye have it. If you're going, embrace it, and you'll have a grand old time. If you've got a hankering for some black rimmed glasses, skinny jeans and hipstagramation, this is probably not your spot.

I'm 50 years old and aside from some accidentally swallowed spoiled milk this may be the worst meal…read moreI've ever had. It was so bad it turned funny. We were travelling on the nearby M4 and randomly visited this pub in a college town very hungry for a late lunch. The environment was nice with candles and a cozy feel but our 'strict schoolteacher' waitress left a lot to be desired in the attitude category. Poor students probably mean crappy tips and we got the tail end of a bad lunch rush. No matter, we ordered the "Hot stuffed roast beef sandwich with vegetable soup or fries" - 7 euro. I don't exactly know what was presented 20 minutes later, but here's a description. The soup was a sallow opaque gruel more like a gritty yellow/puce bisque but without quality or flavor, a bit like wallpaper glue in texture. No vegetables I could see survived...none. Perhaps it wasn't vegetable soup in hindsight, but it was warm, neutral and nontoxic so I had three spoonfuls before I quit it - my girl didn't make it that far. She was distracted by the entree which consisted of two mushy cold toast slices with a firm grey organic mass in the center that I took to be meat of some sort. Tough, completely without flavor and overcooked my post mortem was this was a boiled bovine something at one time and then maybe it was microwaved to withdraw any remaining taste, I don't know. It was laughably inedible and dissecting the sandwich we later discovered some soggy little sponge cubes that probably were the 'stuffing', though we couldn't be sure, as by this time they had attached themselves to the bread to make a small henge around the meat sacrifice. My lady finished her pint and we laughed off the experience. After a while gave up on our waitress again who perhaps was hiding out of shame and eventually threw a 20 euro on the table and left. I'm sure this is a great place most of the time and we just had a rare lousy experience.
