Great place for food and atmosphere, always prompt service and cozy seating. Stopped most recently for lunch and all three of us got the bacon and cabbage - unreal 😋 👌 🙌 can't beat the atmosphere for irish history scattered throughout and on the walls. Worth the hype in my opinion!

What a great place to have a party. So I’m guessing we had close to 200 people in that room, to say that the staff was highly trained as an understatement. They had that whole room served in 10 minutes. Now you wouldn’t think a place like that,that could serve that many people would have food that was any good. Well, their food was fantastic. And then these guys got up and played music for us, I think their name was also the Mary ploughboys. Not sure. They were fabulous. So the atmosphere was great, the food was great, the surface was great, they had good beer. And I would never drive by the place again, without stopping.

What a fun night! The singing group (together for 36 years) was amazing, such talented guys! The Irish dancers were teenagers and they were fantastic. Dinner was delicious. This was the highlight of our days in Dublin!

The show was very good. Lots of fun. Food was ok. Room was very hot, and the acoustics are way too loud. Difficult to hear the words due to volume. That being said, I do recommend it

We really enjoyed all of the food and entertainment. A real good experience. You do sit with other people but this made it more enjoyable. Our table had 4 nationalities on it and we we all got on well together.

Amazing atmosphere with the live music and dancing upstairs. Or if you are just downstairs chilling out at the bar having a few drinks with your friends it is a very fun place to eat and drink if you're going with a tour you only have selective meals also if you are with a tour you will have to stay upstairs.
