Pub located in Bray that caters to locals and tourists alike…read more A very eclectic vibe with lots of kitschy decor. Good pub food. Had the best toastie ever. It was a proper pub-style toastie. Proper pours of Guinness. Nothing fancy just a straight up neighborhood pub. Comfortable and welcoming. Service is grand. It's like chatting it up with a lifelong friend.

Good: Stick with the drinks. Can't go wrong with Smithwick's and the tall tonic was good, although…read morethey served it with lemon, not lime. Now the Bad: Mini fish & chips was ok. 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.

Simple delicious and worth the stop. One in our party said the fish and chips was the best they…read moreever had.

We absolutely loved staying here. Our room was like a one-bedroom apartment with a combined living area and kitchen. It was roomy and comfortable. I would live in that apartment in a heartbeat. We hit up the bar and restaurants and everything was really good. Service was amazing at each restaurant and bar as well as with the hotel staff. Food was really good.

Lovely Seafront View!…read more We were wandering around Bray looking for somewhere special to eat. When we found this place we knew it would be the perfect lunch spot. We sat in the part of the building that overlooked the water. The view was beautiful! They had a chicken special that I decided to try. The chicken was very tender and cooked perfectly. It is always rewarding when you chose an amazing entrée. My husband had a burger that he said was the best burger he has ever eaten. It must have made an impression on him because one of the first things he did when we got home was try to duplicate the burger in our kitchen.

Warning, don't go there!…read more I was there with a few friends beginning of January. The view is nice and the location pretty good, that's it and after I have to give at least one star that's the only good thing that comes to my mind. The food was absolutely terrible. I ordered a steak, and was already suspicious after the first bite: the meat had such an old taste. I shouldn't have eaten at all, after I saw the chef in his dirty apron, who helped the waiter to serve the food. They actually served expired food, and after that I spent the next two days on the toilet. Also my friends that had the steak felt queasy afterwards. The only thing that you could eat there were the Burgers, that looked liked they came packed in ice from Aldi. At least they weren't rotten.

Since I am in Ireland I spent much time to find a real beer garden that makes me feel at home and that has a variety of imported beers. As a bonus you get the sea as well, something that I would miss in Berlin or München. And if you are lucky they will also have a band playing there. This is the summer!

I visited Platform yesterday with my wife and kids for the first time. We were seated quickly and…read moreour orders were taken without delay. The food was very tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it to arrive. The passionfruit lemonade and iced coffee was great also. I did have an issue with the wait staff however. Three staff members stood near our table and complained about their jobs and how much they were sweating while resetting the tables. There was also and incident where a lady with poor english asked for a table and the staff member explained to her more than once that she needed to go inside to be seated. The staff member then loudly complained about this lady in full view of the rest of the customers. There was a slight discrepancy with our bill also, which was quickly rectified but I dont think that the staff conducted themselves professionally by complaining about customers, in front of customers. All in all, food was enjoyable but service needs work.

As we'd grown up in Australia, when my brother and I saw the name of this pub, it was pretty unanimous to go in, but honestly it was a bit awkward. It's a VERY local pub, and everyone stared at us when we walked in. We got a seat towards the back where an avid group of older men were watching the horse-racing on 3 different television screens and there was one bloke acting as the bank. It was an interesting but also such a weird experience. Also I made a mistake in getting the hot chocolate (€2) as it was clearly from a no-frills packet and tasted of cheap cocoa. But the bar-keep has a sense of good humor cause when he came over to our table with drinks in his hand, he cheekily said, "It's a pint of Guinness for the young lady and a hot chocolate for the Lad" to which we all had a good laugh and then switched around the drinks. This is clearly a bar to drink in rather than get any other kind of drinks! Yelp 114 / 2019

There has always been a certain ambience here which makes it a popular haunt with the locals. They have a great selection of beers on tap here including Brays own Wicklow Wolf brewing Co at only €5.50* a pint for their American Amber you couldnt go far wrong. Keep your town in business by keeping your business in town as the fellow says. Whoever he is I suppose. The smoking area out the back end of the pub is a rare treat as I will illustrate for you in my below picture. Thats me in concert, to an audience of 1. But many a night people have had a bit of an aul jam going out here that would put Fr Billy O'Dwyer aka The Spinmaster to shame. So to recap then you have talking inside the pub and music outside the pub if you so wish most of the time anyway. The staff are always courteous here, even when one day a rude woman asked me at the bar if I was Amish due to the amateurish side locks I had cut into my beard. The barman took it in his stride to thank me for calmly answering her direct and cut throat Columbo style line of questioning. What a Pro...

One of the finest craft beer off-licences in the country, their selection is amazing, the staff know their stuff, and are actually into beer, and there is a great selection of spirits and wines also.
