    Beautiful restaurant and bar in Dublin with excellent food. We had the lamb shank and the stew and both were so delicious. Service was very attentive. We loved the decor of this restaurant and highly recommend.

    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.

    It was ok. The menu didn't list all the burgers - only the vegan burger. When we asked if there were others we were just told yes, Beef, chicken or lamb, with no explanation of what was included in each. One of our party ordered the prawn starter. They tasted fine but they were very pale - looking like they were under-cooked (they weren't they just looked it). An ok experience, not a brilliant one.

    Had to change time of reservation (due to traffic) a couple of times and they were very accommodating. Had a pre show meal there, great staff very comfortable. Great choice of food, that arrived quickly. Perfect place to sit for a couple of hours.

    A great place to kick off an evening in Dublin City centre. Have been there for food and drinks on a number of occasions prior to concerts. Food was always good and the staff were always attentive and friendly. Mahon’s still maintains that old pub feel which is very appealing. No problem recommending as it ticks all the boxes.
