    We decided to visit the Guinness Storehouse but we're 100% expecting a tourist trap so we skipped the tour and elected for a restaurant reservation instead. Having the reservation gave us the opportunity to explore the storehouse, which had numerous bars, a large shop and a really nice display of how Guinness is made. Back to the food. This is really pub-style Food, which is what you expect. My husband got a Guinness, of course, and I ordered a Jameson and ginger ale. I'm not much on whiskey and had never heard of J&G but it seems to be popular. It was really good! For appetizers we ordered oysters and wings. Both were good but the wings were a little too sweet for me. We also had a large seagull join us for our entire meal. He sat on the ledge. It was like having paparazzi! I'll post a picture so you can see the crazy character. For our main we decided to share the Guinness beef stew. Glad we did because we were both full and it was a large portion. This was a fun stop and we were able to take our drinks with us to explore the storehouse. We would visit again but glad we didn't do the tour.

    Located on the fifth floor of Guinness Storehouse is 1837 Bar & Brasserie where we decided to have lunch after our tour of the brewery. The restaurant is airy with beautiful brick walls & exposed ceiling. From our window seat, we had a fanatic view of Dublin -- & the best part of the afternoon -- a visit from a very cute, very hungry visitor perched on the ledge (see pic.) But, we cannot subsist on incredible experiences & views alone; the food offerings, unfortunately, were middling. Smashed potatoes (€6) weren't as crisp as I was hoping for & were too oily for my liking. Tomato & mozzarella salad (€11.50) was put together about as well as I could've made at home. I didn't try my bf's order of crab with toast (€13.50), prawn flatbread (€18.50), or small order of bbq chicken wings (€10.50) as I didn't get the notion that any dish was worth a taste. Though I wouldn't recommend 1837 Bar & Brasserie for a meal, I can't put a price tag on the precious moments we shared with our avian friend; worth our time & money despite an underwhelming meal!

    We ate here as a package deal from our bus tour. We only had a selection of a beef or chicken dish, and limited sides. These were served buffet style, and not refilled once empty. Same with the desserts. I missed out, as they only had overcooked chicken and custard left over by the time I was able to get to the serving line. The atmosphere was good at least, and we fed a pigeon from the open window.

    Our food was incredible unique hot and tasty!! Let's start this out . We were hungry and had our tour booked at 1:00pm we ran out of time to eat and decided to eat before our Guinness tour .. we went into 1837 no reservations. We were seated with the best view of the factory and city ( the views are incredible!) Our server Janelle was friendly and informative. I had the polenta with truffle oil tomato's, mushrooms, spinach, Irish cheese and a poached egg! Holy moly was that full of flavor, texture and hot. My husband had the seafood pie with champ on top with a lovely salad. Every part of this meal was perfect and unique. The manager Colin was lovely too ! We had to share how wonderful our experience was . Cheers

    Recommended by a friend as a "must try the oysters" and this place didn't disappoint! Excellent service, plates were plentiful and savory, and of course the Guinness was a perfect match. Ambience is casual but the view of the city is epic, if you don't mind an occasional seagull at the window quietly demanding some food.

    Pork belly
    Gilbert R.

    Stopped in for a bite to eat during our tour at the Guiness Storehouse. Very nice, well-spaced eatery that offers a nice vista of Dublin if you sit near the window. Lots of choices on the menu and service is orderly and quick. As for the food, very solid, especially the signature Guiness stew. Also ordered the pork belly. Both dishes were flavorful and hearty. Loved the soda bread they serve with every meal.

    Toasted Sourdough w/ tomatoes and cheese
    Helen H.

    We were seated next to the window. Outside the window, there was a seagull sitting on the ledge keeping us company. We ordered our drinks first and needed more time to decide on the menu. The waitress forgot about coming back to us though, and I had to flag her down. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I had the toasted sourdough with tomatoes and cheese. It also came with a side salad that didn't suit my taste. Many of the other diners seemed to be enjoying their burgers. The restaurant is a good option if you're at the Guinness Storehouse, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. 1837- The year Guinness and oysters were named the perfect match.

    Wings and soup
    Carol D.

    We popped in here after our tour around Guinness. We weren't really expecting much, and were we surprised. The food was really delicious. We got seated really quickly, which was great. The staff were super attentive and the food came quick, which was great for a couple of weary tourists. We went for the soup, the chicken wings, and a flatbread obligatory pint of Guinness, obvs. The wings were unreal. Super tasty and sticky. The soup and bread were stuff if my dreams. Creamy, warm and filling. The flat bread was pretty tasty. Not the best I've had, but that was more because the toppings weren't my fave. All in all, I really enjoyed the food and the tour. The view is pretty spectacular also. We made friends with a local seagull while we ate.

    For sure a tourist trap because even if you wanted to only dine in, you have to pay the entry fee. If I remember correctly it's around 35 euros per person. Half a dozen of oysters were roughly 20 euros. For the hefty price, I did not like how small they were or how they weren't thoroughly clean, but they did taste like the sea so I give props for the flavor. Also, not the biggest fan of the sauce that was paired. The burger was pretty solid but lacked some sort of sauce to give it a juicy taste. Wings were mid but the fries were pretty good. Guinness beer was 10/10. Our waitress went on break towards the beginning of our meal and never said anything or had another worker replace her. I'm all for giving employees a break but I just wished we had someone to help us when we needed them. We had to ask some random waitress (after a long wait) to get us our check, some water, and a to go box. The ambiance gives it the extra stars. We were able to sit right by the window so we got a view of Dublin and made friends with the local birds!! Overall pretty cool spot to experience once but wouldn't come back.

    We were doing the Guinness Academy tour, after 4 pints of beer, we thought we need some food and luckily 1837 Bar & Brasserie is right in the building on the 5th floor. We ordered Soup of the day , was tomato basil soup. They served with Dark Rie bread and butter: Good Small plate chicken wings BBQ, it was to die for, I wonder how they cooked the chicken, it was juicy and the bone came out as I took a bite Caprese Ciabatta, equally amazing and tasty. Highly recommend this place if you visit the Guinness Store house.

    Guinness beef stew was fantastic. This place had great everything. It's the James Gate Guinness brewery's top culinary offering and they do it right. Everything we ate that day was of high quality made with great local ingredients. If you are visiting the brewery taking the tour I highly recommend snagging a reservation at this place well in advance as it books up daily. You will not be sorry.

    Seafood pie

    Such a great food with matching perfect views! Put 1837 on your radar with some of the best food scenes in Dublin.

    Sticky Guinness Chicken Wings
    Jessica S.

    I really hadn't planned on us having lunch inside the Guinness Storehouse. But, given our day started off much later than I had planned, I had to flex. And, given that we had just over an hour to find sustenance, we made the climb to the 5th floor to see what our dining options were. We chose 1837 because it offered table service. The menu seemed decent on first glance (I honestly didn't put too much effort into reading it before getting to our table), and they had the magical stout on tap. I was hopeful that they'd have other yummy beer concoctions on tap, as well, but ended up with a Guinness. Our table was close to a window, but not next to it. I mention that because I wanted to play tourist and stare out the windows, but with other couples occupying the space in front of said windows, I had to be careful. I didn't want them to think I was staring at them or invading their privacy in any way. The views were still nice, but I'm sure the couples seated right next to the windows had a much better view than we did. Our waitress was nice enough and took the time to answer all of our questions (mostly about the beers on tap, and to sympathize with me when I found they no longer serve Kilkenny.) My husband and I shared a small order of the Sticky Guinness Chicken Wings; I ordered the Twice-Cooked Crispy Pork Belly and he ordered the Herb-Crusted Fillet of Cod. I'm fairly certain they gave us a large order of the wings, which I'm eternally grateful for. They were perfectly sticky and sweet, without being too obnoxiously sweet. I couldn't taste the Guinness, but the other flavors blended into the sauce really popped. I don't think it needed the cream sauce that came with it, either. I did enjoy the wings much more than the pork belly, to be honest. While it was a large portion (served on a bed of greens [which is what won me over!], and with potatoes and a couple of sauces), it was way too fatty and soft to be "crispy". I ended up eating the greens (which I think was some sort of cabbage) and most of the potatoes, leaving a majority of the pork on the plate. It just wasn't palatable. My husband, on the other hand, fell in love with his cod dish. The fish was served on top of a small pile of vegetables, and he said that it was perfectly cooked and very tasty. I may have been a bit jealous. It's a good place to sit back and relax for a bit if you've got some time to kill between tours or before leaving the Storehouse. The staff is attentive, and they didn't seem to get overrun by the number of customers in the space.

Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

The mash was too thick and chunky, the bangers were bit overcooked. The mussels was disappointing, seafood chowder was ok. The restaurant is located on the second floor. We made a reservation, but was asked to wait while they cleaned up the table. Unfortunately, the table they wanted to seat us, the folks decided to have a long after dinner conversation, thus we ended up waiting longer than expected. Then they seated us at a larger table after waiting 15 minutes or so. The service was decent... wasn't fan of tipping request, EU needs to stop adopting USA's stupid system :)

Menu has a good selection of Irish dishes from seafood chowder up to lamb stew and pies. We ordered the potato soup, seafood chowder, 'banjo' burger with onion rings. The soups arrived first and the seafood chowder was loaded with huge pieces of fish, potatoes (not many) with a creamy rich base. Flavor was incredible and in itself a full meal. Served in a large crock style bowl. The potato soup was minus any whole potatoes. It was a rich creamy base with plenty of flavor and very hearty. The burger was really a double cheeseburger with plenty of cheese, grilled onions, what appeared to be a mayonnaise based sauce on a soft hamburger roll. Really tall enough that it was tough getting your mouth around it. Very well seasoned burgers and the onions were a nice touch. The onion rings were huge and had a very light batter on them. They served in a metal bowl to keep them hot. For dessert the apple crumble was ordered which was served in a large dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This could have been warmer but still was good.. The 5 star rating is for the chowder as it outshone the rest of the meal although the burger was definitely a close second. Definitely will return to try other dishes when we come back to the city.

The meat and veggies were plentiful, the portion generous, and it was tasty enough but maybe on the bland side? It was served with a side of braised red cabbage which we really liked: sweet but not sour like pickled cabbage. And house-made brown stout bread, also very good. The wife had a Guinness and I, thinking it too cliché to order Guinness as a tourist in Ireland, tried a different stout whose name I've forgotten from the ample selection. But comparing the two, so much better! The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Irish dishes, more than most of the similar pubs in the area. As well as the other expected pub type food: sandwiches, burgers, etc. As for desserts, if we were hungrier, the wife might have ordered the Irish Whiskey Bread & Butter Pudding. The hubby would probably get his dessert later, as the selection was limited and neither that nor the Apple Crumble appealed. Sitting at the bar we had a more personalized experience than were we at a table. The bartender offered to take a photo of me behind the bar which I of course accepted. We made the right choice in coming here.
