I'm torn between three and four stars so I'll leave it at three for now…read more A friend was here and highly recommended it, especailly the food, so when another friend and I were looking for somewhere different we went here. We definitely liked the atmosphere and dekor. It was a Wednesday evening so it wasn't overly crowded but still filled with some regulars and other guests. My friend went for the Lamb Stew and I got the Beef Burger and we both weren't too excited by our food. My friend thought the stew could've been better seasoned and I found the burger a bit too dry. But nonetheless we both decided we want to come back und eat here again too. Maybe we were just unlucky or picky that day.

His wit is lightening fast which helps as he reaches for the higher shelves The Guinness is superb and worth the visit alone having been thoughtfully managed with temperature and excellent maintenance by professionals There is no pub in Dublin or Dun Laoghaire that I want to spend in more than this pub Some call if "the old man bar" because young and old alike feel welcome there If you like fun the owner encourages all singers good and bad to belt one out so don't be shy even if you don't know all the words. I highly recommend you go there have a pint and a good laugh. I'll probably see you there the next trip I'm home from Florida to visit my family!!!

You never do anything right. Nothing's ever open long enough, nothing's ever available long enough,…read morenobody is ever accommodating, nobody ever cares about anything. There is absolutely no sense of customer service or accommodation. I can't count how many times we've gone here 15 minutes before closing to get one last pint and they were closing early. Can't count how many times customer service has been utterly useless. The food is decent, I won't say overpriced because when there is a view it's pretty, and in life you pay for pretty views. but they didn't exactly lower the prices when there was no longer a view. And so it's overpriced. Stop failing at life. You guys have a prime location next to the train stop by one of the greatest towns forming on the planet. You have an opportunity here, show up.

But it's just so well done. Delicious. Plus, how can you argue with the service when Daniel himself comes out of the kitchen and chats away, tells you about his new wines, where the steaks come from and drives home to get rhubarb for your desert cause he ran out (this honest to goodness happened one night). Lovely man, lovely family run place, lovely food. Go.....now!

Really good and the portions are great, neither too big or small. which is nice. I guess my issue is the service.... more importantly servers. While the guy I assume is Harry, is fantabulously brilliant the other servers are..... lacking. First there is the guy today who talked about his vacation to Poland, where he drank so much vodka (which is apparently miles better than the stuff here in Ireland) he was sure it was 24 hrs straight, while I patiently waited for my menu. Now, I am proud of him. I would have died from alcohol poisoning if I drank vodka for 24 straight hrs. However, I am not really sure the doorway of your place of employment is really the place to have said conversation, because I was far less offended when he retold the story to a table full of regulars. Seriously, I was. No clue that was about, but moving on. Second there is the too cute for words little boy (in all honesty he is probably in his early 20's, I am just old) who always looks like God pooped in his cornflakes. Every time I see him I want to ask him if it is really so hard to look as if he completely hates his life. I mean even a look of total boredom would be better than the "I may have to go to my room and listen to Morrisey after this because misery loves company" look he ALWAYS has. However, since the food is good, the coffee decent and the proximity to my gaff is ideal I will continue to frequent this place and endure angsty little boys and oversharing on the drunken front.

A perfect wee hotel bar named after famous hotel guest Hardy, from Laurel and Hardy obviously…read more The bar itself is has over seven draft beers on tap including Smithwicks and Hop House 13, they also stock a range of spirits including a load of Irish Whiskeys. They don't have ginger beer though! The staff are great, considering the size of the bar they keep everything running smoothly. We asked a member of staff for advice on what to do while visiting and she immediately sent over a local employee who gave us some tips. Although we just ended up staying in Hardy's all evening. They serve food, it's a more casual dining experience than the hotel restaurant serving up burgers and wings - more traditional pub grub. I can't fault the bar at all - it was really busy when we visited, which I imagine it would be most evenings. Don't bother venturing in to town before trying this bar out!

We didn't really mind when we found Hardys Bar! The bar itself was nice and still had some Christmas decorations up! I noticed the bistro part had an open fire and was really cosy but I wasn't sure if we're able to sit there because we were only ordering drinks. The bar had a great selection of drinks and shots which explained the sore head the next day. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant but the food that was being delivered to other tables looked delicious!

They had an early bird until 7 -3 courses for 21.95. Good range of 4-5 dishes to chose from. I added mine up and it would have been 33 so I saved a good bit. I had chicken liver pate to start. Then for main I went for chicken supreme but it had garlic gratin rather than mash which was a fantastic change. The chocolate lava pud for desert was so tasty and lush. House wine 25 and 5 for a glass. Not bad at all. Really hope this place picks up because I definitely want to go back. The presentation was on point and the waiters were friendly and professional. Cudos to you. Long may you last. You deserve it!!

The Martello is a charming little bistro - the sort you really wish was within staggering distance of your own front door, sadly for us it would be a considerable stagger - some 10 miles - and there is no amount of alcohol of an eve that will keep me going that long. Inside it is perhaps a bit dark during the day but in the evening you don't notice this. The cuisine is European I guess; I can't nail it down any more than that. They do Seafood - glory be, a seaside restaurant that knows what a fish is! - this is a favourite rant of mine, not half enough fish places about... The menu is a set affair for 25Euro pp for a 3 course meal but splash out and pay the supplement of 4.50Eur and get the Dublin Bay Prawns, worth every cent. The Mediterranean Seafood stew is likewise worth a shot, lovely with a bottle of good dry white wine!

Add to that the fabulous gay couple sitting next to us, who were lovely, chatty, and told my bf how fabulous his outfit was. It was like home.
