    The staff were nice in total but, one of them, with the black dress was impolite; we were ordering much more than any other tables but, she was checking time-to-time where are your friends! And when they came, they ordered foods and while they were having dinner and we still had 40 minutes left from 2 hours restaurant has advertised on the OpenTable platform, she asked us to leave in 25 minutes! + Chicken Burger was okay + The Selection of Cured Meats wasn't good at all; just the olives were really good + The smoked potatoes with Alioli was really good but was scarce + The beers were really good + Beetroot with Cheese wasn't good

    What an awesome place to enjoy a 5* dining experience and a selection of wines and beverages!! We had our team event a while back and I admit that, that was the best meal I've ever had. The beef cooked 2 ways, was spectacular! The chef went above and beyond to prepare on the spot for our vegetarian colleague and it was sooo good. Atmosphere is beautiful and staff is always friendly and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and visit Urban Brewing.

    I went there a while ago with my friends and it was a nice experience. Food was nice, I got a big portions of ribs which I couldn't finish nonetheless it was very tasty. There was a big selection of local craft beer which was a plus. Cocktails were also very good. The only downside was a time limit, but I understand it's because of the restrictions.

    Before going to the restaurant we had heard some good things so we decided to give it a go. However upon leaving it would not be honest of me to sit by without letting people know our experience. I understand that since the reopening restaurants and other establishments have been quite busy, however when in the restaurant I ordered a drink 3 separate times and only one of them came which was quite disappointing. The food was not the best some of the items on the menu turned out better than others. Overall the evening itself was quite underwhelming, and thus I wouldn’t openly plan on returning, nor would I recommend it to people.

    Service was meh. I had the halibut ceviche appetizer and it was beyond amazing. The beef cheeks were also incredible. The Jaffa cake was an amazing finish to a fine dinner in a place with a very nice casual ambiance. The service was uninspired and boring.

    I recently visited Urban Brewing and overall, I had a positive experience. The food was quite delicious, with well-prepared dishes that showcased a good blend of flavors. The chefs at Urban Brewing seem to pay attention to detail, making the dining experience enjoyable. The service was noteworthy as well. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met throughout our visit. They made an effort to create a welcoming atmosphere and were generally accommodating. The ambiance at Urban Brewing is pleasant, with tasteful decorations and a comfortable setting. The space is well-designed, making it suitable for both cold and hot weather, and offers a nice spot for hanging out with friends or family.

    Overall an expensive and disappointing experience. The outdoor seating area is no better than a smoking area . Kitchen closed half way through the evening leaving just the pizza menu to choose from . Staff were kind and helpful in trying to resolve issues but in general the place did not live up to expectations or the images portrayed on its site.I will not be returning.

    I had dinner at the restaurant couple of days ago and wasn’t impressed or satisfied at all. My first concern was that even though they had a lot of empty rooms and tables, the restaurant staff seated everyone in one room. I have no idea why and why not give people some more privacy. Anyway, the food was ok, nothing special. I had much higher expectations for this place. Service was good, but when they brought Beef, no one mentioned which dish was cooked as medium rare or medium, and we had to figure it out ourselves. I must say that I was really impressed by their amazing drinks.

    The restaurant location, the space and decoration is definitely a 10+. However, that's all this restaurant has to offer. Menu is boring and lacking in vegan and vegetarian options. The staff was helpful and tried to adapt some starters to vegan, but it was very disapointing when the plate arrived and we could clear notice that no concern or elaboration of the food was spent to build the plate (it was clearly out of the pack fancy placed on the plate). There was a vegan option on the menu which the main ingredient is Celeriac. If you don't like Celeriac like me you won't have other options. You will end up eating HALF of a cold beetroot (12 euros) and 5 baked baby potatoes (6 euros). Some of my friends weren't vegan and ordered meat options, which they also thought was underwhelming. It was very blend and needed salt and pepper to pump up the flavor. At the end we decided not to pay for service, the staff got a bit offended and we felt forced to pay as we didn't want to create a scene. The majority of this type of restaurants around the world are already adapting and welcoming vegan and vegetarian customers. Urban Brewing definitely needs to adapt and improve their food and service to be considered at 5 stars restaurant.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant last night and to say I was lucky is an under statement, this place was the best tapas I've ever had. Wine was delicious, so so relaxing and the staff were incredible. I will be back. Thank you very much.

    Contemporary brewery with a upscale menu. Have about 5 brews they make which are varied and tasteful. Can be noisy when the after work crowds hit. Check out the underground catacombs.

    I went by myself to Urban Brewing last night, and I had a fantastic experience! I was welcomed by a lovely young lady, Florencia. She sat me at the bar and ensure I was comfortable and looked after. Alessandro, behind the bar, was a great help in chosing a cocktail and a dessert after the few tapas I had. By the way, their toffee cake is delectable! Overall, I had a great time and delicious food. It was worth my money, and I will definitely come back!

    Downstairs cave experience is amazing. Great menu with tapas options. Grilled broccoli and crispy artichoke were fantastic. House brews were outstanding. Love the Christmas tree!

    We visited Urban Brewery for brunch last Saturday, and it really was incredible! We both agreed that this was the best brunch we'd had out in a very long time! Whilst eating, we noticed they also ran a Brewery Tour. Interested to learn more, we decided to give it a go! With neither of us being massive beer/ale drinkers, we weren't sure what to expect....but the drinks we were given were all really tasty...we were pleasantly surprised! Darragh was a really pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable guy and made the tour really fun and educational. I'd recommend anyone passing to drop by for drink and a bite to eat.....and the tour if you have a bit more time! Overall, a really enjoyable few hours and we hope to be back one day! Thank you Darragh, and thank you Urban Brewery 😀

    Great beer selection, and the dessert was interesting and simply delicious! The heat could have been turned down a notch, though.

    Food here is nice as is the beer. However, a few issues we experienced. 1. On the weekend you can only get the brunch menu and as I'm pregnant 90% of the menu was not suitable for me. The staff were accommodating and the chef made me something I could eat, but there should be more awareness of that from the outset. 2. As we were there for Sunday lunch only the upstairs part was open which means the high tables. We were there with our toddler and asked for a high chair. However, due to the tables being so high up the high chair was a *lot* lower and it soon was literally sitting far beneath us and was not able to be part of the dining experience. Their only option was to sit us outside in the cold, which is not suitable even with heaters when you have a small child. They should have offered us a table downstairs instead, it was weird honestly. 3. The kids menu is not really that kid friendly. 4. Sorry to say it but one of the waiters had serious body odour issues which was incredibly unpleasant every time he came to our table.

    Nice ambient place for food and drinks. Menu should cater to all e.g vegetarians. Wide selection of drinks as well, they do mocktails which is great. Music is chill. Food is well proportioned and great tasting. Very accesible to luas.

    A stunning location with beautiful food and great service. The price means this is one for special occasions but I'll be looking for an excuse to go back.

    I had a lovely dinner at the Urban Brewing,, very nice atmosphere and place look great food was very good and unique,, a huge beer selection and very friendly staff…

  • 4/5 Gabriel 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place for drinks! Keep in mind that the kitchen closes at 2100 (9pm). So if your flight comes in late, you probably won't be able to order food. This might change in the future as I feel this might had to do with COVID-19. Otherwise, the drinks are good and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

    Had a lovely evening, with some yummy food and beer. The ceviche was nice and citrus, with just the right amount of pineapple and chili. The octopus (which can be tricky) was tender and well cooked, not chewy at all. The flat bread was under seasoned, so not as exciting. But the beer and dessert wine tastings were delicious. And the cherry on top — they had some nice cocktails on the menu. Amidst the new normal with covid, the staff was gracious and kind. They always kept checking in during the dine-in time, and even called earlier in the day to confirm the reservation (encourage you to make one since waiting lines get long). The new touch of digital menus was nice.

    Possibly the best dining experience in Dublin City. The food was amazing and the waiting staff were exceptional. We chose the vegan options and each course was the best vegan food we have had in Dublin. 🫒 When reserving a table online, the process was different however, the email we received after booking was not very inviting, it outlined essentially "rules" for us to follow if we were to dine there. This was a bad first impression and not customer oriented in any way really, could do with a change perhaps. If we had booked over the phone I imagine this experience would have been flawless, however booking online there was not a good impression initially. I tried some of the beer on tap, and it was actually one of the best beers I've ever had. The wine was very soft and went down well. They really have an excellent team working in this place and I recommend anyone to try it. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Firstly fair play for proper COVID precautions. You will be scanned for QR code and ID is required. Food, drinks and staff are all top notch. Will definitely be back.
