Very disappointing experience and this needs to be shared. Ended up waiting for a noticeable amount of time to order, even when the place was empty (max 5 other ended up here). Next is the food I ordered, which is a dictionary meaning to "being ripped off". I ordered a salad worth 12euro. What I received was a slap in the face: 11 leaves, 1 diced baby tomato, one diced baby potato. All damped in a mayonnaise, which they called it their homemade sauce. You serve this to clients, expect a negative review.

Food was just OK, starters and main course came together! No bacon with the steak, the parmesan fries were missing the parmesan like 4 strands on the fries. SO meal was not as described on the menu! Attached. Portions on the small size for the price! Disappointing overall.

After waiting for almost 25 mins and in 3 different areas of trying to grab the attention of a bar person I gave up and the 8 people in our group left the premises. Others around me served with ease including people I know. 10pm on a Saturday night. Not overly busy for 3 bar staff to look at me and decide to serve others waiting much less time. Even raising my hand slightly to gain attention didn't work. Horrible service or lack of it I should say.

€7.50 for a pint, €8 for a glass of wine, almost extortionate if you ask me. Where some places get off in these times robbing people. Entertainment was excellent though, fair play to the dude on guitar, was too drunk to remember his name but he was class 👌

Our first night out in Temple bar and we popped in here for cocktails and snacks. We were seated quickly, able to order food and drinks from the table and then the Bill came quickly when I asked for it. The food was delicious, the drinks were very good, the Bill was correct and the live music was a solo guitar player who was excellent with the crowd. He was playing “500 miles” when we left and it was a whole bar sing along.

A great place to buzz out all that bad vibes. The musicians are so magical and keeps playing their tracks with great positivity. The drinks are another highlight. They have almost everything in the bar. It's a great place to chill and have a lot of fun, make new friends and enjoy a great weekend!

Nice place but the manager was so rude , awful management

Oh this place was a delight to have a meal in. It saved my friend and I from the terrible wet weather one weekend under level 3 lockdown restrictions. They served us with smiles and the food was fabulous! Will try and go again after level 5 is over (I'd rather sit in than takeaway!)

Awesome place. Well spaced, arranged neatly and a great ambience. A very good balance of music dance floor and sport. It offers a dance floor just as you enter with fantastic DJ and amazing life performances on selected days. Downstairs, it's an amazing world of sports. Massive screens to catch the live matches going on and a variety of games to play if you are not into televised sport. Games include, ping pong, pool, curling and some digital games to name a few. Awesome service, fast bar services and big enough space to dance and enjoy your evening/night/day. Highly recommend :).

We ordered truffle fries and only received normal fries! These were returned and only then was that order corrected! Order came with a wedge of lemon - I was given a slice ! How are you supposed to squeeze a slice of lemon !! We ordered chunky chips and cod (fish n chips). Never received tartare sauce - it was a disappointing mayo sauce instead. The chunky chips weren’t even chunky - they came with fries. When we questioned why we didn’t receive chunky fries we were told that they don’t have chunky fries - they no longer do chunky chips only fries ! If you are going to change something on the menu change the bloody menu ! Or at least tell th customer when they order! Disappointing all round !

Very nice sports bar, always great buskers playing! The music can be a bit loud sometimes but it's alright in the next room if you wanna have a proper chat. The food is very delicious as well. The staff was very friendly. Thanks for a lovely evening. :)

Great for live music! The atmosphere was lighthearted, fun, and it seemed like everyone was getting along. The crowd felt a little more mature and affluent than that of other bars in the area, with a little more space between people than temple bar itself. The drinks were expensive, but always are in that area. Overall a great night!

Amazing place

The atmosphere here is great and the music was super - a bit too loud but super just the same. Very busy when we were there and had trouble getting service. Never asked the price when we ordered - should have. The prices are through the roof. Maybe we should have understood that because of the location but we didn't. Left feeling a bit ripped off. Not sitting well. Will not go back.

Four of us had a meal here last Saturday. To be fair the food was very good. However, the vegetarian option is just that, an option. On a menu of it's size there was one main course option, falafel. One starter had a vegetarian alternative. There were no vegan desserts. Also they didn't have any Bushmills whiskey and our waitress was more interested in looking around to see what was happening than taking our order. Such a pity, as I would have loved to give it 5*

I was with a party of 4 and we were all very happy with the service, the food, and the live music. It was acoustic guitar with an indie/alternative sound. Very pleasant. I had a chicken sandwich with fries and it was really good.

Very nice place at ground floor they have amazing games and huge seating 💺 space. At upper floor they have live music till 2 A.M. One of the best places if you want to experience sports bar and live music 🎶 together 😃

Nice environment. Good customer service. Clean toilet

I’m just going to post this Snapchat conversation I had while sitting in this establishment a few nights ago, because I think it’s the best way to communicate that it was bad, but on an absolutely surreal level that I have never experienced before. I have never in my life gone into a restaurant and then been not allowed to order any food. 2 stars just for the sheer comedy of the situation.

TRAVELERS BEWARE!!! (Bad Service and Blatant Disregard for Covid-19 Restrictions). I was part of small group, paying both separately and together at different times (fluent in a variety of languages). My group adhered to the mask rule put in place. Not only were the bartenders and servers incredibly rude, inconsiderate, and, quite frankly, intolerably and intentionally avoidant (the staff went out of their way to avoid service to mutual members of our party). One of my group members asked whether they could get a glass of water/bottled water—the response was (from both bartenders and servers alike) “I am sorry, no one understands you and I don’t speak English. Good luck.” Another member asked for a Guinness and the response remained the same. It was most concerning that not a single bartender adhered to the mask rule and all patrons in this crowded bar walked around freely without masks. In short, there are so many other fun and welcoming places around the area, who abide by restrictions put in place for everyone’s safety. Please don’t waste your time or money here.

Nice place. You need cash to play ( they don’t accept card) so we can’t play because we just have cards 🤪 but was good.

Perfect place to enjoy with friends. On the first floor there is live music. On the second floor, from 5 p.m. onwards you can play different games and there are many pool tables. The only bad thing is that often companies reserve the whole floor for games.

Was there before covid and loved it. Came back but felt rushed after we finished our food and we had a drinks watching the match but staff are constantly walking around looking at you makes it fell like they want you to order more or move.

Booked 2 tables for 15 people a few days in advance and was made to pay €100 deposit. When we arrived we had to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated only to find that there was 1 table with 7 seats for us. I rang the Sales and Marketing Dept on the day and they didnt seem to care. Said "they must have no tables for you" Avoid!

Live music and atmosphere is awesome. The bar service on the other hand: horrendous. Had to wait 30min before getting service. A lot of staff working but very very poorly managing the bar. They all stay at one end of the bar; are totally unaware of which customers are waiting(they stare at the ground while working on orders) and have to walk around the bar 4 times to get all the drinks for one order which takes aaaages. The second time I came to order I had to very actively get their attention and ask them 3 times to please come take my order after they had finished their current one. After waiting another 20min I left.

Brilliant food and wonderful staff

If anyone tells you a frozen strawberry daiquiri is gay, don't listen to them! The drinks are reasonably priced for the location and they have plenty of deals on. Good place to go.

Pleasant spot for a decent bite and beer, even in rather exceptional circumstances, with obliging and friendly staff, and decent fare.

Best sports bar in the city by a mile

Very nice bar. Come here if you don't like the crowds. They have live music as good as Temple Bar but you can move around and get a bartenders attention. They also have 2 for 1 cocktail deals on Thursdays. Come here.

Great place for live music and a few beers. Downstairs in the cellar there is games room with different areas that can be reserved. Pool, Table tennis, Airhockey. Some areas have big screens to watch the football/rugby on. Staff inside were great, door staff were awful.

Nice place but we ordered the Hop House 13 for drinks. The beer was smelly and tasted sour. The bar staff didn’t care and didn’t have the time to understand what I explained. Fun bar but don’t order the Hop House 13

Great bar service - even with everything going on with the lockdowns and restrictions. I was going to give 5 stars before I discovered the pool tables downstairs! Not sure what to get you now - Google won't allow more than 5 stars 😅

Excellent bar for live music , we returned 3 nights on the trot. Acts were brilliant especially The Sheriff and Kadan!! Brilliant voices and performers.

when we arrived the sales team did not inform that we have group of 30 people, the manger Andy Reach looked after us for the whole night sorted a area for us, gave the lads free pool, he checked in with us all the time. 5/5 would recommend going back again all the bar staff was very helpful.

Was at this venue with a party of 6. Have to say, it was a great experience, the food and atmosphere was tops. The staff were great, especially the bar tender, we think his name was Sean, a big guy, this banter was contagious, such a gent and an assist to the the company. I had the salmon, its was tops. Next time we come back to Dublin, we'll definitely pop back in. Hi to Sean, and all the staff who were so polite and friendly.

I was on a hen party here and we did a cocktail class 18euros each, the guy doing it was very friendly and we had a good laugh, we each got 2 cocktails , a very busy bar, our bit was separate so was ok.

Great night! Service was friendly and helpful. The soloist performer was a hoot and very good at engaging the tourist (mostly) crowd. We stayed until he stopped playing as did most of the crowd. Not the venue if you are looking for traditional Irish music, however, very enjoyable!

Love going to this bar for drinks while enjoying the live music from the buskers. It's always lively and we always have a good time.

Awesome place for great live music, the staff was incredible and I think I went here nearly every night I was in town!

Personally what I liked is that there is a mocktail making session for those who are not interested in alcohol. There is live music and match on screen options as well. Food was decent. There is Vegan options included as well.

We came here to watch some football as they have a few TVs though out the space. Some of the TVs were definitely in better shape than others. An overall clean space; however, the price of the pints was a bit steep. Two pints came out to 17.70. It was disappointing when I had a bit of a pint left, and one of the workers took it away before I could finish especially for the price we paid.

Visited Buskers on a Saturday night. Very busy bar with loud live music and young crowd. They also have a quieter seating selections for those that want to enjoy a meal from the restaurant. Food was good and the restaurant staff was friendly and helpful. This is a good place if you'd like to have a meal and then drinks and good time afterwards, or vice versa.

Pub food is rarely good. The service depends on the moon, when the stars are aligned, you will be able to be well attended in this place. The bands are great, the sound has a reasonable quality and thanks to the tourists the place is lively.

Advertising they show all World Cup rugby. None of the screens showing any rugby. Don’t think you can class this as a sports bar. Failed big.

Cheap pint

Amazing!

The live music is amazing.

Perfect

Amazing

Very well taken care during Covid-19 as well . Loved thier service

Great place, with professional staff, good selection of drinks and games such as pool and ping pong.

Still one of my favourite dublin places.

Came here for date night last weekend and can not recommend this place enough! Food and drinks were AMAZING! And stuff where lovely too, such a nice vibe and there was a live band.

Visited yesterday, so well ran through the covid19 regulations. Felt really safe throughout and the service was really great. Very happy to see them open again wishing all the team the very best! Also, the nachos and garlic bread are super!

First night out since lockdown was such a calm experience table's well spaced food was delicious! And table service very professional and safe would highly recommend buskers and thank you to the staff and management for all there hard work.

Buskers have a lovely menu. We both got the steak . One medium and one well done. It was beautiful and cooked perfect and tender. Katie attended us and was polite and arrived at the table on a few occasions to make sure we had everything and wanted for nothing. We will return.

Fantastic staff and venue! Only loses a star because when asking about deals on the night i was there every member of staff seemed to have a different story - one said they weren't serving a certain menu, but then the guy beside ordered and got that, etc but that's my only complaint

Not traditional Irish pub but great singers doing live music made place felt real fun. Little bit overpriced drinks. :)

Gone in this place this week...prices really too high compared to places of the same category... live music at least under the average... staff as cash machines...we won't return for sure

One of the best goujons I've had in Dublin. Great place to relax after work. Ping pong and pool will let you unwind. Quintessential temple bar

Just love this place...the vibes.. The space.. The music.. Everything is amazing... Been here quite a few times and it never disappoints... Kudos Buskers! :) Definately worth a visit...

?

Downstairs pool and car games. Old school cool :-)

Absolutely loved it in here. Non stop entertainment. Good atmosphere. Prices not too bad for temple bar. Very modern compared to the other bars.

Good sports bar, footy played on the screen and music/singer was very good

Great service lovely passionfruit daquries

Been here with my sister and cousin for 3 hours...a great pub where you can see and hear great and talented musicians like this one I'm posting here. :) will come here definitely again.

Great bar and atmosphere, music was spot on. Drinks are a bit pricey but it's similar to the surrounding bars.

(Translated by Google) Nice music, friendly service! (Original) Mooie muziek, vriendelijke bediening!

20 mins queuing for a pint and the worst pizza I've ever seen in my life. Horrible pool tables and cues. Wouldn't recommend.

Very loud bar, some very good live singers on display. Bar staff served quickly

Great bar very clean,great variety of drinks and great music.

(Translated by Google) Good music, good atmosphere with a choice of beer and alcohol! (Original) Bonne musique, bonne ambiance avec du choix en bière et en alcool !

Staff friendly and efficient however the food wasn't great

Low quality

Make sure you you have a beer mortgage, you'll need it. Good music and atmosphere but bloody expensive
