    We were so excited to visit the smallest Irish bar in Dublin, but the experience ended up being…read morereally disappointing. We got our drinks without a problem, but then we watched the bartender refuse service to an older lady and her three friends -- who didn't even seem to be drinking yet -- saying the bar was closed. She politely asked for just one beer to share, even saying they'd drink it quickly, and he still refused. A few minutes later, someone else came up asking for a Jack Daniels "to drink fast," and he laughed and poured it without hesitation. Then another girl asked for two Guinness, and despite claiming the bar was closed, he said, "How can I say no to that?" and served her. Watching the older lady get singled out like that felt awful and unfair. On top of that, the bathroom was disgusting -- no toilet paper, no paper towels, and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up. Definitely not clean. We came here excited, but it wasn't worth it at all. Just a few doors down there's a fantastic place with great service that was far better than this experience. Sad one person can make her break a place.

    Tiny random door, once you walk in you have to go down a winding set of stairs. Once at the bottom…read moreyou're welcomed by a dark cozy pub. The bar tender was great as soon as I entered he asked for my order. Poured me a perfect pint of Guinness for an affordable price. There was no food.

    Myself and my husband went out to Donnegan's lastnight and even though there was salt and pepper on…read morethe table the waitress who wasnt wearing black could have been manageress was adamant we could not sit at the round table across from the bar because she did not have enough staff on to attend the table outside the restaurant.She could however sit us at the bar for food which was four steps away from the table .Happy to see they can turn away custom on a Wednesday night .....very disappointing.

    We will give The Monasterboice Inn the benefit of the doubt…read more. My wife, daughter and I went there for the first time between Christmas and the new year . We had previously booked so did not have to wait long for a table. Staff were very pleasant order was placed for drinks and the meal. Buffalo wings were superb and then everything went south. The quality of the steaks was not great. We had purchased steaks from the Centra in Tullyallen the previous week and the quality of the meat in the Monasterboice Inn was nowhere near as good. I ordered a medium rare steak and my wife ordered a medium steak... My wife's steak came and it was rare ... there was blood on the plate. She should have sent it back but didn't.. Our fault... The waitress was excellent, she saw my wife had hardly touched her steak and without prompting her, she deducted the steak from the bill. So for service 10/10 ... for the quality of the meal 4/10. It could have been an off day for the chef ... so I might give them another try on my own before I take guests there again.

    Should you find yourself in near Powerscourt Garden's head into EnnisKerry. Take a photo op at the…read moremonument sit on the park bench because this is the famous scene from Leap Year when she's waiting for the bus, it's across from Mac's. Cozy interior and ultra friendly, and hilarious, staff. Everything was delicious. However the real stand out for me was the beer battered huge cod fish and fresh cut thick chips. There is an abundance of take away or fried fish & chips here in Ireland. But this, it was excellent. Pair w a properly poured Guinness and watch some football at the bar. It all made for a perfect relaxing Irish afternoon.

    The food here is amazing! It is not really marked well on the building. There is a sign for Mac's…read morePub and then just a few steps past there, you go into a B&B and the Lounge is on the left. It has a classy vibe but is casual. I had a Cabernet that was good for 6 euro and served in a proper wine glass. For dinner I had the shrimp and crayfish pil pil which is a spicy Spanish dish with a garlic oil and chili sauce and it was incredible! So flavorful with a great heat. I was blown away. Hubs had the Irish Beef and Stout pie and it was also delicious! The gravy was thick and full of mushrooms, while the pastry on top was light and flaky. We were so surprised at the quality of cuisine presented in this tiny village- and at a great price! If you're staying nearby (we were at the Powerscourt and looking for something a bit more reasonable) this is an excellent choice. Just down the road off the main village square. I think we will probably return tomorrow again!
