Famished and slightly inebriated after completing the Guinness Storehouse Tour, we were craving…read morepizza in a very bad way. Tried to find the closest pizza place, and the Coke Lane pop up at Lucky's showed up on our map. Just a short jaunt from the Guinness Storehouse, this place was an absolute godsend. Coke Lane's stand and wood fired oven is set up in the backyard of Lucky's bar (which is a great place to hangout btw). The pizza here was damn good. Orders are placed in the backyard, and they bring the pizza out to you (even if you're sitting inside). We had the margherita and the Scarface pizza, and both were excellent. The crust was cooked to perfection and just the right amount of char and chewiness. Don't think I've eaten pizza that fast! Being from NYC my standards for pizza are pretty high, and Coke Lane definitely is some legit wood fired pizza. Highly recommend dropping by if you're looking for some eats in the area.

Desperately needing food after sitting in a pub until most places closed, I searched online for…read moreCoke lane pizza. It was 10 something PM and there was only Frank Ryan's bar we couldn't find the pizza. We went inside and they serve the pizza at the bar. We did not have high expectations we just wanted some food before going to bed and the pizza was AMAZING! We've been to Italy and to all the best pizza places in the US and this pizza was on the same level. I would definitely recommend.

A really lovely little pop up shop that is so tiny only about 5 people could fit inside. I really…read morelike this shop as I think it's so Irish to have such a tiny space. They have some beautiful framed prints and paintings and a really good selection of very unusual children's books. Everything in the shop seems to have a theme of beautiful illustrations from the cushions to the table ware. There is a good range of some old favourites like Beatrix Potter and Winnie The Pooh and some more unusual ones I have never heard of like the Moomin (??). If you are tight on budget they have some really nice little prints and postcards that would be perfect to frame for a gift. The girl in the shop who I think is the owner is really nice and friendly and will help you pick some presents. #DublinShopsLocal

They also have a great selection of books and other literature related gifts like cushions, bags. Go check out this gorgeous little shop !

I ordered the Teriyaki Salmon with a side of egg noodles, but unfortunately both dishes lacked flavor and fell flat. The saving grace was the cocktail at the bar--delicious and well-balanced.

The food was good but not good enough to make up for the horrible service. After serving our food…read moreour server disappeared, never to be seen again. We finally waved down the bus person and asked for the dessert menu, then he disappeared and never came back. I finally got up and found the manager and explained that we seemed to have lost our server and would like some help at our table. He said of course and when I returned to our table we continued to be completely ignored. I told my partner we could walk out without paying our bill cause we seem to be completely invisible. Since that's not who we are, we eventually got up from our table and went to the bar to ask and pay for our bill. I will never come here again.

We asked about the soup flavor & they offered a taste and brought out a huge sample boat. Super cool. I got the cottage pie lunch portion, which is more than I could barely eat. It came with a boat of the sauce /and gravy and meat. Wife got the fish and chips... The fillet was longer than the plate and it came with a mountain of fries, both delicious. Daughter got the creamy vegetable soup and chips. She loved it but couldn't even finish half. All the portions were very generous, nobody finished their meal, too bad we couldn't have taken it back to our hotel. Server was great & funny. Love this place.

The alcohol drinks are a bit pricey but very good. The duck and pork belly baos are my favorite and I've never been disappointed with a dish or the serving size.

The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars is that it's a bit pricey for some dishes.

We started with the smoked cod croquette and the bread/hummus. I thought the croquettes had great flavor and was a great way to start off the meal. However, for entrees, I had the duck breast but it was cooked way too rare for my liking. The meat was hard to cut through and the hazelnut "garnish" also overpowered the dish. With all that being said, there was a very cute ambiance to the restaurant.

Home for the weekend my folks decided that we just had to go. So we headed there in a Sunday afternoon about 3:30 and were on time for their brunch sitting which goes until 4. We were able to get a table without a booking right in the bright window. The menu was wonderful. More Linner than brunch to me! I went with the aubergine, sour dough bread, pesto and goats cheese while my sister went for duck confit with grape quinoa and orange. We then swapped half over as we were so excited to taste multiple dishes. My folks both went for steak and chips which looked divine. The food was all delicious. There was a decent amount but the plates were not overloaded and afterwards I felt full but not stuffed -content! My parents went for desserts and they were excellently presented and apparently very good. The decor is cute. There's many prints with a Clontarf or Pigeon House theme. The exposed pipe work and old fashioned light bulbs work really well with the oily green paint. The windows let in loads of light which makes the place very comfortable to sit in but not too bright. The staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a lovely restaurant and I'm definitely demanding to come here each time I'm home!
