Went to Gilbert & Wright in Malahide and have to say I would not be recommending it ever again…read more Buying my first glass of wine I was stared at by a second bar girl who asked me was I going to pay for my wine. I had already paid the girl that had served me?! On my second glass of wine and needed the toilet, while leaving my glass with a little wine in it. On arriving back from toilet my wine was gone. Mentioning this to the lounge boy he politely informed me he would check what had happened. A few minutes later and I get a visit from what this pub calls a 'manager' (name witheld) and apart from him being enraged, he simply denied that my wine was ever taken, then proceeds to shout over me and act in a very confrontational manner, squaring up to me while roaring into my face. This 'manager' guy at Gilbert & Wrights would not even allow me to politely articulate my issue. His default mode was shouting full denial into my face. Not wanting to get barred from here, I felt I had no other option but to forget about my wine and go purchase another glass at the bar. This review is not about a wine glass, it's about Gilbert & Wright's response to my very polite comment about their removal of my drink. For to be treated in this manner by their raging 'manager' is inexcusable and I will not be returning here any time soon. Gilbert & Wright Malahide please get your act together and stop insulting your customers. AVOID Gilbert & Wright Malahide at all costs.. AVOID !

Came here for the authentic Irish pub experience while on our trip to Dublin…read more The pub was large and beautiful! It had a lovely wooden interior feel and the bench seating. The service was lovely. The waitstaff were welcoming and made us feel welcome. The food was perfect. I got the burger and chips. The burger was delicious! The beef quality overseas is sublime!

We picked this place as our last fish n chips meal of our Ireland trip and were not disappointed!…read moreFirstly, its location is in a beautiful coastal town with lots of great pubs and ice cream spots walking distance. The restaurant itself is quaint but utilizes its space well for seating. We were able to get a table around dinner time without reservations. They have allergens labeled and a gluten-free batter for their fish, so it was a no-brainer what I was getting! We all 4 had the same thing and enjoyed the crunchy batter and crispy chips. The gf version was not a letdown, and I was quite pleased. The mussels appetizer was also delicious. We enjoyed friendly, helpful service, food came out quickly, and portions were generous. It's definitely a great spot.

This is definitely a go to spot if you are visiting in malahide…read more I had been eating a ton of fish n chips on my 10 day Ireland trip, so I was pleased to see something a bit different on the menu. The crab avocado salad was fresh, delicious and a great healthy option. Along with the salad, my husband and I shared the fried calamari. The jam it comes with pairs AMAZING with the calamari, it was so yummy. The salad is on the smaller side, so I would definitely suggest pairing it with a shareable appetizer! I also got the carafe of Prosecco, and that was a great pairing with the salad.

We stopped here, travel-weary, for a first dinner in Ireland. We ordered the roast beef with…read moreYorkshire pudding, peas, carrots and potatoes (fried whole and mashed) and the chicken curry with half rice and half chips. My friend ate a side of onion rings. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, very tender and juicy. It is pretty unsalted, which I like, but my friend said it wasn't enough. The side of rich, brown gravy made up for it adding the right amount of saltiness to the beef. Carrots and peas were a tad soft, but flavorful and good mashed potatoes. I wasn't wild about the whole fried ones. The Yorkshire pudding was pretty dreadful and seemed to be backed hours prior because it was rubbery and chewy. The chicken curry was good, a little sweet, but good amount of curry flavor. Chips and rice were great. The onion rings were good. Not stellar, not bad. Just solidly good! Guinea's was perfect in terms of being served at the right temp and they have half pints, which made me happy! This place was very, very loud. It was distractingly loud, but if you want sports and good beer, you are in the right spot. Lots of families with little ones for dinner. Service was good.

"They don't have Guinness....", this sums it all :)…read more Jokes apart, the pub is kinda nice for having a.... tea (as they didn't have Guinness when I brought there some friends who came to visit Ireland....). Nice atmosphere. The food, though, is horrible. I went there with three vegetarians and we tried three different vegetarian options.... three different prices, but basically the same falafel burger. Even the waitress couldn't understand the difference. A little bit tasty, not that bad. Still, chips with watered pesto sauce?????? Come on guys...!!!!!!!! Friend of mine got a lamb burger and admitted it was one of the tasteless burgers he ever ate. Toilets are clean and good, though just 1 for men, 1 for women.

On the weekends it's usually packed full of people at night but everyone is really nice and there's a lively atmosphere! It's nicely laid out although I've had a tough time finding my way around it the first few times I was there, but generally it's well decorated and clean! If you're staying in the Carnegie Court Hotel it's a nice option, and there's also the nightclub Velvet which is the underground part of the Carnegie Court Hotel so it's not too much of a stumble to get there after here! I wouldn't come here too often but whenever I do it's always a great laugh. There's also nearly always a queue of taxis waiting outside at the end of the night so that's really handy.
