    Overall no major complaints. Great experience and server. Loved the live music, dancing, and Irish coffee! Ordered the Gaelic chicken and fish and chips. Gaelic chicken 10/10. The fish and chips were good, but the fries could have been better - a bit oily and over fried. Fish needed a hit of salt, otherwise overall good meal.

    Celebrated my husbands retirement from American Airlines with his crew and family. Great restaurant experience and food was amazing. The Gaelic chicken was superb! Next time we’re in Dublin, we will come back for more of their food and music.

    Uno de los pubs más bonitos de Dublín. El ambiente es perfecto. Hay días que programan conciertos en directo y otros en los que músicos tradicionales se reúnen espontáneamente para tocar. El servicio es magnífico. Especialmente destacamos a Sofía, una amabilísima y competente camarera que nos atendió. Muy bien la comida y la bebida. Buena relación calidad precio. Absolutamente imprescindible.
