    Visited the Storyteller Pub for food and drink before going to Bord Gais Theatre with a group of friends. What a great find! Wonderful place, very quirky! Food was lovely, great cocktails, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Will definitely go again and highly recommend!

    The cocktails were so refreshing , they had a nice variety of gin, vodka and whiskey cocktails. The food was made with fresh ingredients & so yummy . My husband and I had the kale beet salad and the fish & chips, which were just perfect.

    Had an amazing night in The Storyteller at the music bingo for Valentines. A really lovely touch was receiving a beautiful rose upon arrival. The staff in the ST are incredible! Would highly recommend.

    Had a team night out. Good value pub food, great an attentive service. Fast service and everyone got there food approximately same time, good for a group of 10. Fairly quiet. Loved the fact there was not 90db music streaming on speakers, there are so few pubs nowadays where you can actually hold a conversation. Would go again!

    Great food and great pints! The chicken wings were particularly good. The staff really looked after us. The pub was busy with a great atmosphere.
