Dublin's most famous pub, certainly in a literary sense, with its Joycean associations. Always classy and fashionable. It's the original Dublin gastropub at over 100 years old.
Anybody who is familiar with Dublin pub food will be aware of Davy Byrne’s food reputation, in which seafood is the speciality.
If you visit the premises at lunchtime and evening time, you will witness the huge trade which is done in fresh Seafood, Wagyu Burgers and pub classics like Fish & Chips. There is also a full range of Salads and Sandwiches to compliment these and, as often as not, you can enjoy Oysters and Guinness.
The classic Gorgonzola sandwich with a glass of Burgundy as mentioned in Ulysses is available every day.

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate strollers/buggies indoors at Davy Byrnes but subject to availability, we can at our outside terraced area. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Linda was wonderful in facilitating my request to move from a booth to 2 small tables for the four of us. Food could have been hotter, but otherwise it was great as usual.

    Overall very good. But service was slow, our order wasn’t taken for a quiet time after we arrived. But we stayed for 2.5 hrs without being rushed. Overall a nice experience and would go again

    The beef and guinness pie was served with mashed potatoes and was delicious. It takes longer to prepare so be warned of a delay if you are not having a starter. Worth the wait though and a large portion. I had the ham and cheese sourdough toastie, enjoyed very much and its a lovely place and the staff nice and attentive. Will be back.
