    Without a doubt a must on anyone’s list visiting Dublin, not only for the obvious reasons but for the fact it has amazing staff, brilliant atmosphere and the food and drink are top quality, we were taken back at the quality and portions given to the price paid. We had the pleasure of being on the premises with Conor and his beautiful family, what a gent and what a lovely family. Highly recommend a visit to The Black Forge Inn to any trip to Dublin.

    Excellent as always! Super food and great service! Very impressed how an incident in the play area was handled, staff super quick to clean up and no drama created! It really is a great place for all the family to enjoy themselves! I’ve also just realised I was super late for my booking (I mixed up my times!) nothing was even said which I would have been mortified over, so really appreciate that we were accommodated with ease!

    Booked slevins for a family meal. Was giving the raised area, could watch the euros comfortably. Waiter very promptly came and took our order,and told us the days specials. We received our drinks followed swiftly by our main course. Afterwards we were told there was music out in the beer garden. So we went to investigate. And ended up staying for the evening. Music whatas fabulous. Service was great. Overall the evening was fantastic
