    The view and the food are just perfect! But make sure it’s a sunny day.

    A wonderful pub overlooking all of Dublin Bay. Amazing views and on a clear day you can see the Mourne Mountains to the north. Guinness is quite good 9/10 definitely a place to visit

    Great view and decent prices pints!! Good food but service was a bit messy they evening we went due to the numbers of people who go here on a nice day. Worth a trip when it's sunny either way.

    Good view over Dublin Bay backed by a nice crowd makes a very enjoyable atmosphere on a clear sunny day 😎. Just wished their terrace should have been double its size so no seats hunting anymore.

    Great place to chill out in the evenings with the wonderful view from the mountain top. We however decided to sit inside as it was too windy outdoor. Food was decent and the waiters were quick enough with the orders. The chicken goujons were better than any other restaurant that I had tasted 😋

    Err... It was a Sunday morning as we just happened to pass by... Looks like a wonder place for food and drinks... Our Dublin friend shared that some famous bands performed here...

    Really great pints. Quality in taste and with a view too. Good location for a hike through the nearby park before or after. We also ordered some buttered corn, and on a cool but calm day it worked well. Lots of space to sit, inside, under cover or across the road with fresh air.

    Enjoyable place in the summer specially for the view we have from here. Really cool place to spend a few hours especially if the weather is good and you can bag a table outside. The service is great from the window out the back, really good system they have in place and the staff are all constantly buzzing about delivering drinks and food to tables. The food was a bit hit and miss for me though, the wings and nachos were really good but the pizza wasn't that great

    Amazing local place, with great vibe. The view of Dublin City is one of the best around!
  • 5/5 Steven B. 5 months ago on Google
    I was blown away by the breath taking views. And the food was absolutely delicious!!! I had the sloppy Joe burger and a couple pints of Guinness. Highly recommend this place!!! And I hear they have live music!!!
  • 4/5 Sibeesh V. 6 months ago on Google
    That was a great visit. The food and the drinks were amazing. It is recommended to book a table in advance if you are group of people. There is enough free car parking space near the pub. The view from the top is amazing. There is enough table outside where you can drink and enjoy the view. The roads are a bit narrow. I enjoyed my time here.

    Brilliant craic, amazing food, great live music, super staff and dog friendly. What more could you ask for in a pub.
  • 5/5 Gerry C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of those magical mystery places in Dublin. Great views of the city too. Much better than Johnny Fox's pub.
  • 4/5 Aidan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views over Dublin on a clear day, whilst enjoying a pint and bite of food. Nothing tremendously brilliant to report about the food but it does do the trick and I had no complaints. uniquely quaint and trendy. Retains legendary status, which is understandable. Worth a visit if you have been.

    It is located in a tranquil area, perfect for an escape outside the city. We were sitting in this indoor open space. It was fine, even if a bit chilly in there. The service was OK, and the food was fine, but nothing exciting.
