The Millhouse is your standard Irish restaurant and pub, serving up several classic Irish dishes along with a few dishes with a bit of international flare. Menu and prices are a tad elevated, but all seemed worth it. While the menu featured a variety of items, we went classic fish and chips, and beef burger. The fish was prepared nicely, crisp and fried well. The fries were standard, unseasoned and nothing special. The burger was cooked to order and prepared well too. Same thing to note about the fries. We washed our lunch down with a few pints of Guinness, which were perfection. Service was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Overall, solid recommendation from folks!

In fairness, I didn't even know it was on ! My boyfriend's mom just dropped a bombshell of a joke : She : Is it the second half of the game? Her husband : Nop it's actually just the beginning of the first half ! 1* For service : The drinks arrived in no time and the food followed shortly after that. Amazing service ! 1* For the quality of the food : We had Fresh Cod Goujons, Spicy Beef Burrito, and Sweet Chilli Chicken wraps. Everyone agreed that their meal was really tasty ! For desert we tried the Chocolate Fudge Cake, the Apple Pie, and icecream. #nomnomtime 1* For the place : This is a family place. People of all age come for a drink or food, watch a match on TV, chill out on a Sunday afternoon. 1* For the seats : All the chairs have a padded seat, so have the benches.

Great everything :D Way to go The Orchard ! Let me know if you have any questions or comments and I will get back to you asap. Enjoy Sunday

Located in the residential streets of Booterstown, the Old Punch Bowl is quintessential Dublin pub:…read morecharming, historic, and full of character. The exterior has that classic brick-and-wood look you'd expect, hinting at a cozy, timeless space inside. Once you step in, low ceilings, vintage décor, and warm wood tones create a welcoming, traditional pub atmosphere, as football matches play on TV screens overhead, and the fireplace crackles in the corner. It's lively but not overwhelming, with chatter and music that feel proper for drinks and casual dining. At 8:30pm on a Friday night, our party of ten wanted a traditional Irish pub dinner (our first in the country). The pub was about ¾ full, but with some clever table rearrangement from the flexible waitstaff, we were able to be immediately seated. The menu is classic pub fare (fried appetizers and hearty entrees) - food and drinks aren't cheap by American standards, but given the ambiance, it hits the expected value. I ordered their Beef & Guinness Pie (€23.50), which is a hearty beef stew topped with a flaky piece of puff pastry. The dish comes with fries, though they were more than willing to substitute a salad at no additional cost; the salad tasted fresh, although I think it had a bit too much mayonnaise. The stew itself was warming and perfect for a chilly January night, with huge chunks of lean yet tender beef, simmered vegetables, and a savory broth with a hint of that classic Guinness flavor. I wish the puff pastry on top were flakier and less flat, though it was tasty when dipped in the stew. While it's a steep price for a pub entree, it's an incredibly large portion that I could barely finish, with a generous helping of meat. Another delicious dish was their Beer Battered Cod & Chips (€23.50), consisting of an expertly-fried large piece of cod with a perfectly-crispy exterior, chips, salad, and mushy peas. Their chips are thick-cut with a crunchy skin, yet tender, soft interior, and great when paired with their tangy, mayonnaise-based sauce. This is a lovely spot for generously-portioned pub fare in the charming neighborhood of Booterstown, and I'm more than willing to pay a premium for its fun, laid-back atmosphere, fast and friendly service, and tasty dishes; we'll certainly be returning to attend one (or more) of their various themed nights!

Also, wouldn't call the hotel staff friendly either, that is if you can even find someone at the desk. Got more looked up and down than welcomed when I went to check in.
