Never a bad experience. We frequent DB every time we are in Dublin. The experience is always satisfying. We had dinner reservations for a Friday night (highly recommended). Quick to seat and serve us. Delicious food. Great drinks and the staff is always friendly. Will return. Family of four adults.

This was our first restaurant on our trip to Dublin and we absolutely loved it! We were able to get one of the last reservations available for the next 2 weeks and had dinner at 9pm. We were greeted and sat immediately and service was wonderful. My partner and I both ordered an espresso martini and it was delicious. We then split the fish and chips for our main entree and it was incredible! For a side, we ordered the Brussel sprouts and roasted carrots and those were both phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!
