    Had to send two meals back as one order was incorrect and chicken burger was too tough to even cut it with the knife. Second burger wasn't much better. Lovely interior.

    We had a great time celebrating both our birthdays ! The food and entertainment was brilliant . If anything, the lights affected sensory issues with sensitive to light , but there are many other areas that offer subtle or less lights ! We will definitely be back…

    Food was good but after our dinner was served our server disappeared for 30 min. We had to stop someone else for water and then waited for a dessert order but he never returned so we had another worker bring our bill. Sad for our first night in Ireland.

    Extremely disappointed in the experience. Food was ok. Service was terrible. Took too long for anyone to acknowledge us or even come to our table after being seated. Once the food arrived, neither our server, or anyone for that matter checked in to see if the food that was delivered was what we ordered and that it was ok. I had to stop eating because I had nothing left to drink and our server was no where to be found. Had to flag him down just to get a glass of water. Never asked if we wanted another cocktail, soda, nothing. Irish pub, I hardly think so. It’s the shell of what used to be a great Irish pub in Dublin. Don’t waste your time. And don’t waste your time at Parnell’s just down the block either, same experience, used to be an Irish pub….not anymore.
