The mixed veg was a nice addition. As the veg was hot it made the meal more hearty than your usual salad. For breakfast I was feeling hungover so decided to go for their 'traditional' breakfast rather than one of the healthy protein filled options on the menu. The breakfast comes with homemade brown bread or toast and tea/coffee. The highlight was the tasty sausages! Friendly staff and a bright light filled room makes the Anvil a good choice if you are in the area.

Tried here again this weekend! Another family dinner but not with the set menu!…read more To be perfectly honest this place is not a restaurant nor is it a bistro! It's basically a fancy sandwich bar! The menu has about 25 sandwiches to choose from and only about 10 mains! I just don't understand how a restaurant can have so much choice of one food and so little of anything else! Also the thick cut fries are basically half roast potatoes! I got like 15 roasties as opposed to just throwing 25 skinny fries which would of been so Much more appetising! Nobody likes spud overload! Staff are so good, helpful and polite! It's very kid friendly but the menu really lets this place down!

The authentic Victorian setting, the Victorian mahogany fittings, the mosaic marble tiled floors and granite tabletops, the mahogany bar, capped with red Connemara marble, follows the classic Victorian architectural pattern. The staff are helpful, friendly and patient since their accent is hard to understand sometime. My 1st beer and 1st Irish food, all I can say is what a meal, just simple delish. Being here is just a wondrous experience, the place is cosy, warm and the friendly of the people. So glad I picked this place as my first of Dublin.

If you want to experience a true Victorian pub in Dublin, The Stag's Head is a beautiful place to…read morestart. Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

The two course meal was plenty and very decent quality and they have variety of drinks at the bar. The seatings and general amenities are very much updated, modern, and nice. The service was great. Lots of young gals in training it seemed but never the less they worked together and were doing a good job. Bottom line I'd not drive around and look for other places as this is a very nice place in the middle of no where - let's say 30+ minutes from city of Dublin!

I finally got to try this place after so many years of living in this valley and they did not disappoint! We kind of felt like we had to get out of there though they wanted to head home. A great place if you want breakfast and lunch at a more normal time such as 11:30 to 12:30 lunch and you must be out by 2 PM. I would definitely go here again and I understand they're going to be changing their name. I would also try to get here earlier so I can be out by 1:45! :-)

No, but it's a solid four stars we'd eat there again with no complaints whatsoever.

I wish I had had my dog with me so I could give him the nice bone afterwards haha. We also ordered hot wings and surprisingly they were much better than what one gets in the states. The dessert was good and the bartenders helped us find a cue ball so we could play pool for a while. The atmosphere was nice because it wasn't a bunch of tourists but felt more like real suburby Dublin. We might go back to Ireland just to eat at this restaurant again :)

And let me tell you, the lamb was phenomenal. Best dish I had on my Ireland vacation. Super tender meat that was perfectly complimented by the root vegetables and mashed potatoes. I ate that dish CLEAN. My friend ordered the fish and chips, and asked if there was any way she could get mashed potatoes instead of fries because she isn't into too much fried food. The restaurant was very accommodating. My friend is also an Ironman and we found out that our bartender was also one as well! They have live music on the weekends I believe. Great atmosphere because the locals will all gather here and sing or dance along.

Anyway, we arrived in Ireland today, struggled with the car rental place, got situated in our hotel room, and went out for an Irish stout and a meal. And despite Cian's review, we went here anyway because it had a 4.3 on google. This was our first meal ever in Ireland! My wife ordered fish and chips. She loved it and let me try some. It was excellent. I ordered the ribs. A knife was included with the cutlery. The knife was totally unnecessary. The ribs were tender and you can simply pull it apart. They were delicious. The Guinness was my first ever on tap. Now I see what the big deal is about a Guinness draught. We may need to return to Ireland just for that. Thank you Molloys for getting us off to a great start on our Irish "holiday" (we call it "vacation").
