Pretty good Irish pub in Dublin not too far from the Grand Canal Docks area. We ordered onion rings, pan fried fillet of salmon, soup bowl, and a few pints of Guinness. Service was okay and the interior was unique. The onion rings were extra crispy (ordering extra sauce is additional charge and they forgot to bring the hot sauce) and the salmon was well cooked and surprisingly quite good. read more

Here from the states, busy place! Service a bit slow. 2 ordered the beef pot pie, and one ordered fish n chips. The pot pie was amazing! The fish and chips were cold and way too much breading..... no one ever came to check on us. We had to ask for check, asked for separate checks, and she only brought one bill ‍.... We went to leave and a guy chased us down asking if we paid... money was on the table. I get it was busy but really? Sorry, no pics. read more

I got a chicken head in my chicken wings. End of story. Ok not end of story. The beer was quite good. Hard to get a waiter until the whole chicken head thing. The food was uninspiring, until of course, the chicken head. That inspired me to post. I've been to other Galway owned pubs: black sheep jumps to mind. At that time the food was your typical pub fare, but fairly good quality. The Gasworks then, I had assumed, would be a safe place to bring my lady. Nope. Chicken head in the wings. I can't make it any worse. Taking that into account, and that the manager almost had a heart attack.. I'll give this place 2 of 5 stars. (Thanks for the illegal pint of foam and fury!) read more

Although I can only comment on our experience, I think this place deserves a better rating than it has. We had been seriously craving some wings while staying at the connecting hotel and Gasworks hit the nail on the head. The wings were pretty good, plenty of sauce and cooked well. They had an impressive beer selection, several from Galway Bay. I took away one star because service was a little inattentive after we got our dood which was frustrating. Overall great place for wings, beer, and music. read more

I went here for lunch recently and I was not in the slightest bit impressed. It's located right across from the Grand Canal dart stop, which is handy, and it's quite a big pub but the food and the service was really bad. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place was quite busy - there was some kind of family function on and lots of screaming kids running around, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I saw the staff giving out to them a few times, telling them to 'go back to their parents' and to keep the noise down, which I thought was a bit rude and unnecessary. We only ordered soup and sandwiches, but they were pretty meagre and tasteless. I won't be going back here! read more

Galway run pub attached to my hotel. Great staff, good tap selection. Mushroom pasta wasnt great, but I was hungry and it did the job. Didn't eat there a second time. Bar staff is great, and place seemed busy every time I walked by. American football was on all 3 big screens on Sunday, and I heard a lot of American accents from both local workers and tourists from the hotel. read more

The Gasworks Bar - About 25 beers on tap, including 10 Galway Bay choices. - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

The place was very loud and crowded so they put us at a table out in the lobby. I know this place doesn't have the best reviews but we enjoyed the food. My seafood chowder was the best I've ever had. Others had the pork belly and pasta that were good, not great. Our waiter seemed to disappear at times but was good when we could grab him. Decent selection of alcohol. Good choice for a hotel restaurant. read more

I was hungry and juniors was closed I went to this bar even though I was looking for proper food not bar food, anyway my sister ordered the soup of the day (Greek Chicken) and I ordered the vegetarian Risotto, It was good, really good I finished the whole plate Cozy place and for some people a great bar The staff are lovely and friendly Their food prices are reasonable read more

The Gasworks Bar - The yummy vegetarian risotto - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

Really nice people and good selection on their food and drink menus We ended up back at this place most nights as we were staying at the hotel connected. During the week the place is really busy due to being in the business district, but weekends were really nice as not really crowded. They even offer multiple vegetarian/vegan menu items and an excellent selection of Irish Whiskeys.. All very good! read more

I actually quite enjoy this place. I love how it's pretty big on the inside and that you have a couple different options for seating from a more intimate dining area to just sitting at the bar. They usually have a good amount of TVs on so you can watch whatever game is on that night. The food we've gotten is always been good and I especially enjoy the chips. They have a little bit of extra crunch the iPhone especially enjoyable. The portions are usually pretty good size and price is a pretty reasonable. We even ventured and tried the cauliflower based wings as an alternative option last time we went. They had a bit of a kick the overall really good and I would definitely try again. read more

Love this pub, especially if you're staying at Grand Canal Hotel... Highlights: 1. Good selection of tab/bottle beers - all ranging from 4 to 6 euros. 2. The staff is efficient and courteous. 3. The set up is decent, clean and tidy. 4. Live music Friday (and perhaps other days)? I haven't had any food here, but I don't see why not! This is a great joint near the grand canal area. read more

This place is kind of a train wreck as far as service. Maybe this was because we were trying to order a late dinner. We could not get anyone to take our order. After waiting at a table we got a seat at the bar and we're able to order food and drink. They do have a large beer selection but it is hard to see what they have as the beers are listed on a caulk board that is dark and you have to hover behind people to see. Have a beer list for crying out loud! Describe the beer, where from, ABV, etc Lastly they tried to charge me for a beer I did not receive. Double check your bills people. Overall fish and chips were ok and Irish burger was pretty good but I was crabby due to the service issues. read more

this place is about a 15 min walk from Dublin centre, and the temple bar area. Its a decent place, good Guinness, serves food, we had a new year in here and it was brilliant, it was not that busy, but boy do the locals who use know how to have a good time. read more

When we walked in here during lunch hour midweek and it was almost empty we should have realised that it probably wasn't a great lunch spot. The room is cool and casual and the menu is nice - has a bit of everything. I had the falafel wrap and sweet potato chips. The chips were yum but the wrap was quite unappetising. The falafel was soggy and quite bland. I didn't have regular chips but everyone else I was with did and said they weren't great. The food also took about 25 minutes to come out - this is not ideal when in a hurry to make it back to the office after lunch! read more

Decent amount of seating, Guisness, Smithwicks, Budweiser, Miller beers on tap, lots of big screens to watch the World Cup / sporting events. No complaints that I can think of, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here unless I was nearby. read more

Given I had to be somewhere nearby not long after the Man Utd - Liverpool hate-fest today, I decided to catch the match and a bite to eat down at The Gasworks. To our disappointment, they had taken our two favourite choices off the menu! The barman couldn't understand it either since he said they were two of the most popular choices on there. So ended with up with chicken goujons. They were good - they usually are and at €8.50 they're a good deal. But the service again was slow. There seemed to be plenty of staff working but they mostly seemed to be standing around watching each other do nothing. The barman that looked after us was sound though. They seem to have a couple of staff in their midst who manage to salvage the experience there - the food notwithstanding. read more

It had been a long and fruitless eve at the races (2nd ever time at the dogs and continued my noteworthy not-winning streak!) but it was soon-to-be-brother-in-laws stag so a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do - in my case it meant drinking awful beer and having some fun with the lads at the track. After the racing someone mentioned a pub - I thought "lovely, I can get a decent pint", I pictured a nice cosy pub where fellows could chat amiably about tomatoes and green fly and wearing socks with sandals. We got to the Gasworks and upon opening the door you are greeted by the thump thump thump of (sadly, oh so very very sadly) a remixed/dance version of a Beatles track, many bright and moving lights, and a bar that is stocked to complement the music and lights (Heineken, Bud, Guinness and Carlsberg). This is not a happy place for the short, fat, balding and bearded, this is in fact, Hell. I had a pint of whatever and made my excuses, an experience not to be repeated in a hurry! read more

Worth noting that this pub has changed hands since the majority of reviews here were written and is now part of the Galway Bay chain. And that means you generally know what to expect - dozens of taps, a wide range of beers (with an ever-increasing number brewed by Galway Bay themselves). This one seems to be trying to bit a little hipper than the others, with music being that bit louder and the (borderline blindingly bright) BEER sign made out of lightbulbs, but it's still a perfectly nice place to have a pint and a chat. The food seems to be a little mixed in terms of quality - I had the three bean chilli (which can be made vegan if you leave the sour cream off) and really liked it, but a friend had the fish tacos and really disliked them. From what I can tell the Galway Bay beers are only getting better as time goes on, so I'd say I'll be coming here as consistently as I already do. read more

Customer service was prompt and friendly. The food (we had fish and chips) was tasty and filling and the drinks were appreciated. Glad to have found this place on what would have been a long walk from our AirBNB. read more

Really average. Staff is nice and location is convenient for those staying at the closest hotel. But a part From that I can't think of many reasons to come back. Fries are greasy, meat is overcooked, ambiance is nothing special. read more

The atmosphere is fun and the beer list is unusual & extensive. That being said, the food leaves a lot to be desired and the service could be a bit better. The food menu is mostly pub type food. It's just not very memorable though. There are board games available to play...including Guess Who!- awesome! There's a lot of big tables available to accommodate larger groups. You probably will want to stick to their large list of beers though, as the liquor here is a touch over-priced. All in all, a nice spot to relax over a few pints with some friends, but not necessarily some place I'd go running back to. read more

Great atmosphere with good service, however standard of dishes were not nearly as pleasant. Unfortunately both the beef burger and the fish were dripping with oil. It has to be said that it was a limited menu due to a big match in the aviva later. Previous experiences have been better and I'm sure future ones will be too. read more

13 Euro for a burger and if you ask them to NOT include something, that's EXTRA. Only in Dublin. Copy of recept here: http://www.broadsheet.ie/2012/12/13/gas-3/ read more

The Gasworks in the pub adjacent to the hotel I usually stay while in Dublin. They serve a decent pint of black and the food is actually pretty good. If Guinness is not your thing, they (like a growing number of pubs in Dublin) also serve a number of local microbrews. My only real knock on the Gasworks is that it's just a bit too clean to be a "real" Dublin pub. But, it is convenient and the service is nice. read more

I am staying right next door to this hotel for my Dublin trip. So this pub makes good sense. Their servers are rriendly. The food is prepared with excellence. I just wish they were easier to rewch on the phone, since they are responsible for the hotel room svc. read more

Chill pub with friendly staff where we grabbed a quick drink after the rugby game. Good spot on your way to or from the Aviva stadium.

Pretty damn good. Decent selection of brews for Europe. Hot sticky wings were great. Burger was better than most in town. Service is slightly above par from my experience this far in Dublin. read more

I've been to the Gasworks several times now, and I think I'm done giving it a chance. First the positives: - It can cater to large numbers, - It has an excellent range of beer and knowledgeable staff, - Big screen for sport - Quite a nice smoking area, - It's convenient for the Aviva Stadium. The negatives: - The food is really below typical Irish pub standard. 6 of us ate dinner there, none of us enjoyed our meal and it's particularly bad considering the prices being charged. - Dominant music and video screens. Really loud music, not particularly noteworthy for being either cool or pop. Huge sports screens are switched on even when there's no event of interest to the patrons, just adds to killing atmosphere. Maybe this is just a sports pub? - The price of the beer is very high. Yes there's a premium for serving craft beer but I felt it was being taken to an extreme in this bar. For example, I ordered 1 pint of Fischers lager and 1 Gin & Tonic (served in typical boring pub style). The bill was €16.40. To summarise, I'm glad to see this pub changed hands from the dive it used to be, but I think the new owners could do a lot better, and there are many superior pubs nearby worthy of your time. read more

This was our first meal in Dublin, jet-lagged and hungry. It was late lunchtime and the chicken ciabatta sandwich I had was delicious. That said, despite being nearly the only people there, the service was very slow and we sat for a good half hour with empty drinks and no offer of a refill. read more

Their website listed a number of craft beers- none were available. The bartender said they had recently been discontinued. Since I came specifically for the beers, this was extremely disappointing. Managers apology was mediocre at best. Food was tasty though an item was left off one of the orders. At least we were comped a drink for that. The wait staff person we had was not very good. Did not know that beers were discontinued. She did not come to table to check on things on regular basis, and the place was virtually empty. If beer is why you want to come here, don't come. And my experience was poor service. read more

Guys, please find another spot for your wings and beer. Customer service is a lost cause at this establishment.

Great beer and service was even better! If you are lucky they'll have 200 Fathoms and Of Foam and Fury on tap.

I went there each night during my stay in Dublin and enjoyed each one. The staff is very professional and accommodating, especially Haley. The pints of Guinness and food are worth the trip to Dublin. read more
