The decor is exactly what I imagined, complete with stained glass and a real stag's head. Ordered the fish and chips, which were crisp on the outside with a flavorful batter, and tender fish on the inside. It also came with a nice little pea salad, with mushy peas and whole peas together with the greens. I definitely need to make this! Also got the Irish Cottage Pie and it was very tasty - rich in flavor but lighter than I expected, in a good way. Shared a pint of Guiness (just missed splitting the G - lol) and finished with an Irish coffee, which hit the spot. This is definitely a great place to go for a quiet pint or for a fun night of food and friends.

We got their fish & chips and Irish Cottage Pie. Both were very good and filling. Fish was nicely breaded and fried. Good flavor in their batter. Cottage pie was full of flavor but not overly rich.

I went with just a chowder (which was 'surprisingly' good by the way) and had a couple of drinks. Gabriel behind the bar was really great with telling me about the different whiskeys available (when in Dublin, right?) so shoutout to him. It was not so crowded, though when I arrived, it was just behind a couple of ladies and I had to sit 'at the bar' but in hindsight this worked out since I was able to converse with my new friend Peter, who wandered over, I guess when he saw me sitting on my own. He and his wife got me drunk good and proper. Nice place for a pint or a meal.

We then proceeded to wait almost 2 hours altogether for our food to arrive. After about 45min, our server explained that they didn't put the order in. Then about 30min later, a completely different server explained to us that our food is taking so long because we ordered too much food. The only reason we didn't get up and leave is that during the Christmas season, they require you to pay upfront rather than starting a tab. We couldn't really leave because we already paid. I thought this was easily one of the most baffling service experiences I've ever had. I don't understand the concept of my food taking almost 2 hours to arrive because I ordered too much. When did the onus of preparing the food in a timely manner get placed on the customer?

For fun early houses that serve already somewhat inebriated people, try The Chancery. The Wind Jammer is the type of early house that caters to shift workers and Gardaí from Pearse St coming off the night shift. Apart from a few couples the morning after the Trinity Ball, they wouldn't let in too many post-club revellers. The door is closed most early mornings, and they have a CCTV camera to give ya a good hard scrutinising before they'll let you in. The only time I was there for early pints, there was only one other group of young lads there and the barman looked like he was about to stop serving them. During the rest of the day and night, the Wind Jammer is a quiet pub frequented mainly by old, grumpy locals, who would sooner bite your head off than ask you the time of day. If you're really desperate for a drink and can't make it til half ten when the rest of the pubs open, by all means go to The Wind Jammer. Otherwise, there isn't that much else to recommend to it. Oh, one other thing. The Wind Jammer is the closest pub to Windmll Lane Studios, so U2 and The Saw Doctors among others have retired there for post-recording session pints over the years. Not the type of thing that would interest me, but sure it might interest you so I thought that I'd tack it on the end there
