Stopped in for lunch and found the place quite busy. However we were seated immediately by the…read moreserver and our drink orders were taken. We were also told about the lunch special, a fish burger with fries. We ordered the fish and chips and the special fish burger. Our order came quickly and everything was very hot. The fish and chips had a large fish filet, tartar sauce, a small container of peas (not mushy peas as was expected) and a metal container of fries. The container was very hot and helped keep the fries crispy. The fries were unique in that the shape had a celery shape with a valley to keep the ketchup in place or as I was told by the server mayonnaise for her. The fish was well fried and very hot. The fish burger was unique in that from what I could tell it was flaked or mashed fish filets then surrounded by a flat filet to keep its shape. It was served on a soft bun with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. The 'burger' was very large and thick that it almost made it hard to eat, but I managed! The batter was very thin, light and crispy. Again the fries were super hot and crunchy and there was a small container of tartar sauce. Both meals were good but lacked seasoning. Not sure they would be ordered again. The menu is small but would have enough for most appetites. They do offer an all day Gorgonzola and bread appetizer which, if we were going to spend time drinking, I would have ordered. Atmosphere was very loud with plenty of bar noise (dishes, silverware, and glassware being knocked about) which sometimes made it difficult to hold a conversation. Seating was a combination of booth, tables, and chairs. This is a large establishment with another bar area to the rear, labeled Molly's Room (Malone perhaps?). All in all an ok visit not sure we'll pop back in on our next trip.

I was alone this evening (what else is new) but still got the royal treatment and not a table in the closet. Drafts are good if you're not into the many mixed drinks those around were enjoying, and eyeing that Fresh Fig and Goats Cheese salad. Hey, they have olives, I'm happy. So as not to eat steak frites every single night (who's counting) I opted for the Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli. This was flavorful and nicely sized. Since the fries had no truffle, I went the healthy route with broccoli as a side. Dessert tonight was round-2 drink, and by the way their wine list is simple yet conclusive. Architecture-viewing and people-watching abound here, whether you're headed to or from an arena event, or just wandering in from the rain. I'll return next time I stay in Ballsbridge.

We arrived for lunch a little after opening on a Saturday. The place filled up quickly and was full before we left. This was also our first time having a meal with the Sweet Chili sauce, which we've both had on other foods before but something about the fried food in Ireland made the sauce that much tastier! We order boneless wings and pepperoni pizza. The Red Headed cocktail was amazing - earthy and a tad sweet. The restaurant overall has a snazzy feel, the bathrooms were by far the nicest I had seen this far and the staff was friendly.

We were famished after a long trip and found Foley's Bar near our hotel, went in for an early…read moresupper. Foley's has two floors, the downstairs area offers live music but no real food menu so we headed upstairs. The place was crowded (later learned there was an American football game in town with 30,000 fans from Georgia Tech and Florida State; in future I would avoid visiting Dublin during this time!) Foley's offers typical pub food in a casual sports bar atmosphere. My chicken tenders were nicely spiced and meaty, although the accompanying fries were kind of bland. Fish and chips were good too. Service was slow but that's to be expected on a crowded evening. We were surprised to see the check in $USD (no choice of currency offered) rather than in Euros (the coin of the realm), with a 8.75% "exchange rate markup fee" tacked on to the total. We weren't given a choice of currency as stated on the bill (see picture). I've never seen this done elsewhere, seems like a petty way to make a bit of extra money from unsuspecting tourists. We were tired and the place was crowded so we paid and left without comment. But that unwarranted currency fee didn't leave a good taste in our mouths at all.

Decor: This place looks like it was modeled after a church and those rooms in the back look like confession rooms. See the pictures! This is a must place to go when in Dublin and I recommend this place to all who visit the city.

Hubby ordered the Irish potato skins appetizer and a shepherds pie while I ordered the risotto of wild Irish mushrooms, both of us intending to share. Everything we ordered was delicious and the servers were accommodating down to providing decaf for our after dinner drinks (since we have to be up early tomorrow!). The timing of each course was just right and we enjoyed a leisurely last dinner out in Dublin.

The Exchequer is really two establishments in one. Both center on brilliant creative drinks,…read moreespecially on local whiskeys, gins, and even rums. My favorite - gin, basil and lemon. The first establishment is a lounge consisting of two large rooms of lively young cocktail drinkers. There's lots of comfortable seating and the vibe is upscale. Friendly mixologists. Definitely 5 stars. The restaurant is a small, comfortable space, largely isolated from the enthusiastic crowd . Lovely manager, but vague wait staff. The food was good but Inconsistent. The mussels were tender and buttery but the sauce was over-salted and too heavy for the dish. The rib eye steak was tasty but not tender, and the peppercorn sauce was good but not layered or complex. Nice that they had a vegetarian entree, but it was a melted mess of cheese and pasta for 18€. I think we would try Exchequer for dinner again, but maybe stick to the burgers and fries. Definitely 3 stars.

I believe the full brunch menu is offered 12-4 on Sunday. The fish and chips were the second best I've had while traveling abroad.

The tartar sauce was also very unique, almost a tartar/mustard sauce, and it went well with the fish. The ambiance is very hipster, but I enjoyed the lunch and would visit to try more cocktails.
