    Excellent tasty food and good portions. We had the Guinness stew and chicken burger. The stew was everything I hoped - lots of it, good flavour and in the crunchy sourdough bread. The chips tasted like they were fried in beef stock which was great for added flavour. The service could be improved - non alcoholic drinks on the menu weren’t available and the waiting staff varied on their reliability. Ambience and location were great.

    This 2 story bar offers a traditional pub and upstairs lounge that has a great selection of local Irish whiskeys for tourists to try. The live music was well balanced and still allowed you to speak to your party but have a great atmosphere. The bartender we had was amazing and took us on a tour of Ireland on local Irish whiskey. The food we got was fantastic and tasted great. The stew was a bit hot but the bread bowl was amazing. But that bartender was fantastic and made our night! Josh you made our night in Dublin for our honeymoon.

    Absolutely deserves 5 stars. Super friendly staff, very tasty food and great interior. We wanted to give 3 or 4 stars as there was no vegetarian option on the menu. But food was so nice, we can’t give less than 5. I still think there should be a main course suitable for vegetarians though.

    We were here for a family birthday party in the top floor bar . It was a lovely private space . There was music in the bar downstairs and it couldnt be heard inthe bar we were in as it was so well insulated . The staff were lovely and very attentive . We were very impressed . I had never visited this bar before ( other members of the family had ) but I look forward to visiting it again . It is obviously a popular spot as it was very busy downstairs !

    Great Pub. Guinness is fantastic. Really good pub grub food menu. I've had most of the menu and it is all really nice, including an amazing brownie. It has a great atmosphere with friendly staff and excellent service. It is 100 % the best place to go watch a match in that part of Dublin.

    Stopped by for lunch on our first day in Dublin. Greeted by an extremely friendly young lady. Sandwich and soup/chip deal was brilliant. Fairly priced. Thoroughly recommend!

    Music and quality food wash over your senses in this bar/restaurant. Clean building and bathrooms, friendly staff, locals very pleasant to talk with. The man playing this night was a great performer, sang many types of songs from cover songs to one's I've not heard of, but the locals sang right along with him. Great experience, Thanks Landmark!

  • 4/5 Cristina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere and entourage. The decorations are superb. Great live music but the only thing that I would recommend is to make the volume of the speakers upstairs and on the halls of the venue lower because they are upsetting to the ear and it is difficult to have a conversation. Good job in restoring the place. Before the Karma Stone was nice but this one does have a much more interesting touch to it, especially with the red curtain room(s). ;) The puppeteer dolls - gorgeous as well.

    This was the first time i had lunch in a pub in Ireland that didn't go down well. The food came out below par. I ordered Beef & Guinness Irish stew and the beef was mushy and tasted bland. However, the waiter was friendly and helpful.

    Need some rest and want a Guinness (or some other beer), Landmark is your place. It had a nice “Irish pub” ambience that I loved about the Irish pubs in Amsterdam during my studies. It is really lovely and we would have liked the music as well, but we were too early and there was football in the evening. The Guinness was great. Took half a pint, but another half after emptying the first one. Some things stay great.

    Title: Exceptional Visit to Landmark Pub, Dublin Review: My visit to the Landmark Pub was a 5-star experience. Their steak was outstanding, complemented by a wide selection of excellent beers on tap. The live music was the icing on the cake, creating a truly enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

    The live music was great. The food was delicious. We had the Irish stew and fish & chips. Both were great. Barman was great! He spent some time giving us touring advice and service was on point

  • 5/5 Apral M. 7 months ago on Google
    Loved the live music! Fish and chips were good as well as a good selection of drinks. We really enjoyed this as our first pub we visited in Dublin. Staff were friendly and attentive. Also easy to find and close to our hotel. Thanks for a great night!

    Brought a friend visiting Dublin from overseas and we both felt it was one of the finest pub experiences we've ever had. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly prompt and friendly and the live music was brilliant. This was early Sat evening (not sure guy's name). Outstanding pub and plan to return many more times. Nice to recognise good work and that's you lot. Well done.

  • 5/5 Patrick Le F. 2 years ago on Google
    Irish bar in a busy street near shops and St Stephen's. Usher (bouncer?) helped us with our wheelchair. The fish & chips (served with minty mushed peas!) were the best I've had in >10 years.

  • 5/5 Brendan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect for a team night out. Friendly staff, comfortable tables, background music - perfect to create atmosphere but you can still chat with your friends. Would recommend for a group night out especially as the location is so central.

  • 5/5 Niamh Mc C. 2 years ago on Google
    Booked a private room for my birthday last weekend. Staff were very friendly and professional from booking to the actual night. Great facilities for a birthday or event. One thing to note is that an AUX cable does not fit into newer iPhone models but apart from that there were no other issues. Highly recommend!

    Great pub! My friend and I visited for brunch and the smoked salmon was so delicious! I had a bite of her seafood chowder and it was really nice as well.

  • 5/5 niToitsyeSkxawng 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent customer service and very fair prices. Visited here multiple times during a single week in October with 2 friends, felt at home right from the first time. Everyone took their time to recommend us local favorites, from drinks to other bars and stuff to do. As a tourist, spots like this are a goldmine that really connect you to the city. Thanks for having us, til next time!

    Needed a place to go on a Sunday night ahead of a meet up so wanted to catch some sport on the TV, have a pint and a plate of food. Staff were brilliant sorting me out, including switching channels, and the food was delicious.

    Great spot for stop off on way to Whelan's for gig. Food menu, very welcoming and super-helpful staff. Very happy to make mocktail that wasn't on the menu, super fast and attentive service. Def will drop in again when in the area

    My friends and I were at the landmark on Saturday 14th August and we all found one waitress very rude to us. I never write reviews but was appalled by the treatment and also writing on behalf of my friends. We never got the waitress in questions name but she had blonde hair (about shoulder length). Firstly, every time she brought over a tray of Guinness she complained it was heavy acting as if it was our fault and she made this comment about the tray multiple times. She then placed plastic cups on our table later in the night (we understand this) we just asked was it last orders and she said and I quote and so can my friends quote “some people on this table are drunk and will smash glasses” we told her how we thought that was rude and she angrily said how it was her job to give plastic cups. Of course we don’t mind the plastic cups, but calling is drunk is inappropriate and rude and gives a very bad image to a normally well run establishment. We felt so uncomfortable that we left as she never came over to us again and gave us looks from the other tables. Will not come back here and all of us thought the same. The rest of the staff were nice it’s a shame we were treated like this having spend a lot of money throughout the day on food and drink.

    Lovely experience, customer service was excellent. Elizabeth (our waitress) was polite and prompt and we had a great experience, thoroughly recommend.

  • 5/5 Guy F. 2 years ago on Google
    The best ham and cheese toasted sandwich we have EVER tasted. Absolutely superb. Place spotlessly clean and great drinks and fantastic service.

  • 5/5 Jim S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful corner pub excellent for people watching and your favorite pint. I especially enjoyed my Steak Sandwich - despite my reluctance seeing PIMENTO CHEESE on it - my lovely waitress Elizabeth encouraged me to try it and I was NOT disappointed. My friend loved his bread bowl of Guinness Beef stew as well as the Bulleit Bourbon on the rocks. Not only was Elizabeth friendly, fast and efficient, the manager (?) at the door made us feel very welcome and at home like we were still in Kentucky. I will certainly go back to this place next trip - and hopefully MUSIC will have returned (Thanks COVID! :-( ) to the city.
