    Best pub food in Gothenburg so far 😋 the meatballs were really big and tasty, and the sauce as well. Also they offer at lunch a salad buffet, coffee/tea, cookies and water. I will come back for more for sure 😉

    As long as this place serves a good pint of Guinness, which they do consistently, and as long as the personal are friendly, which they are, then I will keep coming back. Yea the toilet is a bit of a state but it's alright here in the afternoon eh. Cheers!

    At first i read the comments from other people and they were a bit negative, i saw people eating there so I decided to try the place Service a bit slow, just saw 2 people working there, ordered the fish and chips and the steak Food is excellent, the staff are polite, the portion of the fries is huge i dont know why Prices are reasonable

    Nice looking pub inside. Pleasant staff. Live sports shown on a few large screens. Most of the pub is a restaurant style and when I was in for lunch on Friday, it was busy with customers for lunch, just a few people in the bar area at the front. The cheeseburger with fries (110 SEK) were nice but pink in the middle, which I think is a bit common in Sweden but as the meat is minced, outside surfaces can pick up bacteria before being minced and those surfaces become the middle and if pink the bacteria isn't killed off and would then cause food poisoning. The mayonnaise (majonnas) was overpriced at 25 SEK.

    Typical irish pub, really nice bartender and good beer. They didnt have the one beer on tap that we wanted, but got something else good instead. A bit dirty, but what do you except when you enter a bar of this sort. We didnt eat, but coulf highly recommend this place of you're after a beer 😁

    Wonderful staff and facilities. The only downside was the £8 Pint of Cider (But it is Sweden after all so it can be over looked) And the range of drinks was, to me, limited. However, I would 100% come here again.

    Irish Embassy is one of those places where you can come and go as you are. If the authentic Irish/British pub experience is what you're looking for, look no further. Also, the place turns into a real club from time to time, playing everything from the latest hits to old-school disco and it's a blast with a fairly large dance floor to boot! Staff is excellent also, well worth a visit to have a great time!

    Travelled to Gothenburg from Dublin for work, thought I'd sample this local 'Irish Pub' on a Saturday afternoon. Found some decent Guinness (albeit in a Strongbow glass) and classic rock bangers. Great atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Abi E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub feeling inside with lots of classic beer on tap and Irish coffee ect. We came in a lunch time for a drink and vibe was dead plus cold inside which is something this you don’t want when it cold outside.

    Super fun! Sometimes they have live bands and the people there are really relaxed in general. Drinks are pretty expensive tho and sometimes it's a little bit too loud but still manageable

    We ordered a pizza and two beers, but after half an hour waiting he said that they did not have any pizza. This you should know before you take the order! We got money back, at least, but not the right amount until we complained again. Recommend to avoid this place, at least for eating.

    We just got 2 pints of Guinness at the bar. Don't know if it was because we were tourists, but the bartender was not very friendly.

  • 3/5 Victor O. 4 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Pretty unremarkable. The burger was cold and not tasty at all. We just went there bcos it was the only restaurant open at Christmas evening and we might as well have bought some 7-11 sandwich. And the prices are super steep, especially for what it is

  • 1/5 Romulo Prado B. 2 years ago on Google
    Awful, extremely not polite security guards, mine and other friend 's wife and even myself were haressed by drunk people... When we talked to security they said that if we were standing we should accept it as "we were into the game". Expensive beer for this?! It was a try, but you will never be a an Irish pub.

  • 5/5 Tirtha B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 ShadowPlayz 2 years ago on Google
    There's nothing bad with the food accualy it's great. It takes to much time to deliver the food you almost have to get more after

  • 1/5 Carlos N. 2 years ago on Google
    Well they served the wrong beer to start with. Then we needed to complain about the drink that was poorly made. On top of it it's more expensive than much better bars. I recommend going somewhere else.

  • 2/5 Samba M K T. 2 years ago on Google
    Beers were okay, staff were friendly but it's annoying to pay immediately after every drink. Probably can improve quality of experience there

  • 1/5 Алексей �. 11 months ago on Google
    The worst service ever I have seen. The waiter put in our bill more expensive beer and just said “sorry”. And two pieces of bread cost like ferrari, they call it “garlic” bread. do not recommend 👎👎👎

  • 1/5 Fazal C. 1 year ago on Google
    I was not allowed by security with cap inside the bar while I saw a person wearing a cap. I also saw a person wearing a hat. I felt discriminated.

  • 3/5 Joakim L. 1 year ago on Google
    Reserved a table for 6, got a table that seated max 4. Thankfully we were able to swap places to fit all 6 people. Service was meh, a few drinks were forgotten and had to be asked for again. Other than that it was ok. Food was pretty good, we were all satisfied with our dishes. Prices are what they are, not higher but not lower than the average in town.

  • 1/5 Sierra S. 1 year ago on Google
    Bartender came into work sick and now I am sick. I went in a few days ago and noticed that the bartender who served me beer was sick and couldn’t talk because their throat was so sore. Now I am sick with a soar throat and tested positive with covid. It wasn’t necessarily that bartender, but I lose respect for a bar that is sending its employees into work sick during covid. Won’t be back.

  • 2/5 asta s. 1 year ago on Google
    Lokation is fine. It need to be more clean. Staff is both friendly and rude. Some of bartenders can't joke just insulting. The band that took over the show upstairs dont have the real drive to be there.

  • 1/5 Jens S. 1 year ago on Google
    Travellers beware. I went with my wife to have a bottle of prosecco. We were enjoying ourselves and left the 7/11 bag full of essentials for our kids. When trying to leave with a taxi, I offered a tall man one of my cigarettes when asked. As i walked to the taxi...he jumped on top of me from behind (taxi driver as witness) i pushed him back...and what followed was a comedy of errors. Six police men immediately showed up, on call from the security guard. Five police men interrogated my wife while a female policewoman interrogated me. After 20 minutes the police asked if the tall man by the tree was the one who attacked me. I said yes...and as he was very drunk, and apparently known to them...they said ok lets forget about it they and let us go home. This unnecessary drama would not have happened if the security guard had stepped in and done his job. Instead he panicked and ran away and called the Police. The proprietors did nothing to help. The bar owners did not return my food from 7/11 meant for our kids. They owe us approximately 50 euros as we were to perplexed by the sudden event to collect it. Total unnecessary drama!!

    (Translated by Google) Sat on hand waiting to order as it was table order they walked past our party several times without even looking at us. We went from there and got much better service in most places (Original) Satt å väntade på att beställa då det var bordbeställning de gick förbi vårt sällskap flertalet gånger utan att ens titta på oss. Vi gick därifrån och fick mycket böttre service på mästa ställe

  • 5/5 Derrick E. 3 years ago on Google
    Not so much people there and unusually good service. I would assume that is due to the low number of guests.

    (Translated by Google) Far too loud music in the dining room. We hardly heard what the neighbors were saying. Complained 2 times in 1 hour, no response. Separating the dining room from the pub section may not be that difficult. (Original) Alldeles för hög musik i matsalen. Vi hörde knappast vad grannarna sa. Klagade 2 ggr under 1 timme, ingen respons. Separera matsal från pub delen kan väll inte vara så svårt.

    This place is like a maze. You try to walk from the bar to where your friends are sitting and even though you have direct line of site, you get corralled into the toilet. The food is great. Atmosphere is terrific.

    (Translated by Google) After receiving a lecture on the rules of conduct by the doorman ("no order at the bar, sit down and drink" etc) we were passed to the outdoor terrace. It took 40 minutes to get our beers and NO ONE came out and took our order. Can continue to tell the whole story, but can not bear to spend more time. (Original) Efter att ha fått en föreläsning om förhållningsreglerna av dörrvakten ("ingen beställning i baren, sitt ner och drick" etc) blev vi förpassade till uteserveringen.

    (Translated by Google) Cozy place with suitable furnishings. What lowers the rating was that they played Swedish music and not Irish folk music. (Original) Mysigt ställe med passande inredning. Det som drar ner betyget var att de spelade svensk musik och inte irländsk folkmusik.

    (Translated by Google) Unpleasant treatment by the guards. Already when we arrived at 22 o'clock. Then when we left an hour later. No sense of service, or kindness in the door, or inside the room. The owners should have better control over their staff. Otherwise cozy premises, with good location in town. The first time, and never again. (Original) Otrevligt bemötande av vakterna. Redan när vi kom vid 22-tiden. Sedan när vi gick därifrån en timme senare. Ingen servicekänsla, eller vänlighet i dörren, eller inne i lokalen. Ägarna borde ha bättre koll på sin personal. Annars mysiga lokaler, med bra placering i stan. Första gången, och aldrig mer.

    The Dubliner was a nice pub to visit before heading back to the UK. It's split into two sides, the pub and the restaurant area. The food in the restaurant appeared quite pub-like though and was quite expensive. I had the ribs, wasn't too impressed, the meat wasn't the greatest quality and the sauce over the top was cold but the salad, fries and coleslaw was nice. I wouldn't have minded if it wasn't as expensive (I think it worked out to around £18 just for the meal and £7 for the small glass of wine). The alcohol was quite pricy out there so that wasn't as much of a surprise. There was lots of food, I just guess the quality wasn't as good as expected. The atmosphere in the pub was great, staff were friendly, the place looked clean. They had the football in the pub and in the area we were sitting. There was an area in the restaurant that didn't look to have the TV which I can imagine is a nice separation for some. In the area we were sitting was covered in wallpaper that looked like books so when the TV is off and the pub area is quiet I can imagine it's quite a sophisticated looking area. Location was close to ships, café's, other restaurants and near a bus stop where you can catch the shuttle bus to the airport.
