Kalabasa Market

Restaurant

😠 Not impressed. Service was slow and the food took forever to come out. We wouldn’t have minded the wait if the food was good but it was pretty disappointing. Won’t be going back or recommending to friends. Should have read previous reviews before going.

BAR 1661

Cocktail bar

👍👍 I really enjoyed the cocktails here. We came here at an early time on a Saturday, so we managed to find seats without reservations. However, only until some time in the evening due to the full booking. We tried Lost Irish, Generation Six, Libertarian, and Brahms & Liszt. My favourite was Generation...

Darkey Kelly's

Irish pub

👍👍 Really good Irish pub! The staff was kind and the food waiting time was fast. The beef stew was delish and they serve a generous portion. The classic beef burger was amazing! Accompanied the food with a high quality Irish beer. Why not enjoy a live music there as well?!

Bowe's Lounge Bar

Pub

👍👍 Another historic Dublin pub. It's like stepping back into the past. Always in top 3 for a great pint of Guinness. A must visit if you're in town. Now number 1 for Guinness. Still one of the best pints around. Enjoy

The Big Romance

Bar

👍👍 The place is quite packed for a Sunday evening. There is live jazz music every Sunday from 6-8pm and it was fabulous. Good selection of drinks; cocktails at around 12-15 Euros while beers from 5+. It’s worth mentioning that their staffs are friendly. Overall love the vibe of the place and would come...

McNeill's Pub

Pub

👍👍 A true neighborhood pub, we were probably the only tourists there. Went for one drink and ended up staying about 4 hours. Music started at 9:30. Well done and a good sound level for a fine experience and did not drown out conversation. Probably good to get there during the quieter time of 19:00 t...

The Hacienda Bar

Bar

👍👍 The first rule of the Hacienda is don't talk about the Hacienda......Dublins greatest secret bar....hidden away in the markets, only open after a ring on the doorbell and a testing interrogation by the owner. Leads you in to a 70s museum of kitsch, tunes on, Cash Only....two pool tables and walls co...

Underdog

Bar

👍👍 Have been to all 3 incarnations if this bar at all the different sites, and this one is by far the best. Open, airy, sun lit rooms, with a fantastic rotational craft beer selection close to local restaurants and the city centre. Simple decor, lots of seating, clean bathrooms (a big plus!) and seatin...

Cleary's Pub

Bar

👍 When my brother suggested meeting in Cleary's on Amien street I had to ask why. My brother is a bit of a Joyce scholar and apparently Clearys is mentioned in Ulysses. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised to find an old style pub that probably hasn't changed much since Jo...

The Boot Inn

Pub

👍👍 First time here today, always wanted to visit but never got the time. Popped in with my son to watch the Rugby. What a pub! Lovely bar lady, amazing Guinness, best I've had in years. Cannot wait to return, the open fire too and literally 100 metres from the new Airport Tower! Hopefully this place ne...
