    True Dublin experience it's Southside based so slightly more expensive but that's ok great for match days pre game and during after etc. Also food is very nice breakfast lunch and dinner. Loads of historical pictures staff nice too with proper bar staff.

    So here we are, 2nd time. They stop serving food at 9 pm, fair warning. The food was good, my son approved the hamburger, the loaded potato and chili cheese fries were amazing They had live entertainment Saturday, take a listen. Stop in and enjoy

    First night in Dublin, we were so tired from the plane ride from Washington State, we walked a mile from our hotel and found this cute little pub with delicious food and and creamy Guinness and football on the TV. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

    Always a good experience at Cullens Pub in Ballbridge. Old fashioned atmosphere with the fire lighting and well stocked. Warm and comfortable as a result. Cosy snugs and well appointed seated high and low. Coat hooks on the walls, a must in a decent Irish pub. But the best is the atmosphere and the welcome. Great table service and they sell crisps. A proper pub, Irish style.

    Great bar. Live music after 10 pm. The bar stays open late after 12 but get in early. They do an exclusive beer (Estrella Galicia). And they have a very good ambience overall. Don't forget to take advantage of their screens during a sporting event (football/ Gaelic football)

    Great pub, love sitting outside after Ireland games at the Aviva or gigs in the RDS. My South Dublin local. Nice Guinness.

    My father and I went here for the first time on 20/09/2023. When looking though different restaurants we settled on this pub because of the menu online. We walked in to be greeted with the smell of cigars, and a extremely limited menu from what was provided online. Instead of trying a different place we still decided to eat here. To make things easy we both ordered a pint and two beef burgers with chips. We promptly received our pints, but it took an hour to get our food. Once the food arrived, we were given a burger and a chicken sandwich. We accepted the chicken sandwich because we didn't want to wait another hour for food. At the end our or meal we were greeted with a €60 tab. Not only does Paddy's provide poor service and mediocre food, they do it at a premium price as well. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

    Did not eat here but the food being served looked delish! I definitely will be eating here on my next visit. Our family had a few drinks here during our weekend visit. Lovely and clean and comfortable seating and plenty of TVs to watch sport.

    Food was fine for what it was pub grub. Great place for matches and a bit of music.

    Very friendly staff. Food very nice at reasonable price. Good music

  • 4/5 Ella S. 1 year ago on Google
    Classic Irish bar with excellent bar style food. The pizza was perfect. My only con is that it's a bit too busy for one person to handle service, but maybe it was a fluke. All in all a good place to watch a match or chat with friends.

  • 4/5 KK C. 9 months ago on Google
    Waited for over an hour for food as our order got lost but we were all chatting over drinks so not a problem. The waitress was so apologetic and when the food came it was tasty and filling. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend 😊

    Chicken burger is excellent! Great service as well, highly recommend.

    Pub in business district. Very quiet when visited at lunchtime, we were able to get a seat a 13:20 without a reservation. Staff are very nice and polite. Good value lunch menu compared to anywhere else in the area. Chicken goujons and chips with a side salad was €8.00.

    Concert night the food arrived cold I asked for it to be heated up,and the waitress had a scowl on her face.I thought one glass of wine and a white wine spritzer was expensive at 22 euro.Just to say when we arrived at 3pm it was not busy so disappointing.

    Lovely place , nice staff always nice to have a pint and watch a match .

  • 5/5 Sean C. 5 years ago on Google
    The new menu is cracking. A big group of us arrived down and were served really quickly. The atmosphere is great, the staff are the best in the country and the prices are very reasonable for the area. I had the chicken Tikka and it was great. Came with a naan and popadoms and everything was really tasty. The cod looked huge too and the guys said it was fantastic too.

👍👍 Fantastic indoor entertainment venue in Dublin that holds up to 13,000 people. It's really well marshalled and queueing is kept to a minimum for drinks, food, merchandise and toilets. If you find the ground floor queues start to grow, just go upstairs for smaller queues. There's great sound and visi...
