I got the seafood chowder; it was tasty. My daughter got the Smashburger but confessed to me she felt guilty about ordering a burger in Ireland since we had just arrived here from the USA yesterday. She was pleased to report that it tasted a lot different from the typical American burger and she was glad she had ordered it. The other members of our group also enjoyed their burgers and mushroom burger; the only complaint being that they were "messy". So I guess if messy is a big concern of yours you might want to be careful about ordering that. I think though that probably most people who order something called a smashburger probably realize this already.

Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of craft brews, this tour is an exciting and informative journey into the heart of the brewing process.

This was one of the best self-guided tours ive been on in awhile…read more Im a huge lover of guinness, and this has been on my bucket list for awhile - and it really blew me out of the park. When we first arrived, we were put into a queue (& I would suggest getting a reservation). We went through very quickly and were told a short snippet before the tour. Then we were free to explore. This entire tour really immersed you through the brewing process. I learned so much about my favorite beer! At one of the floors, youre able to smell the aromas, and then understand the best way to taste guinness, it was so fun! My favorite floor was the marketing or branding floor- I love the campaigns and backgrounds behind them. This was also great for various photo ops. You end out the tour on the 7th floor, at the bar. This gives you an entire 360 view of Dublin, and one you can only see with a ticket. You also get a free guinness (or other beer from them)! I loved this tour, all of the staff was great, and I will go every time im in Dublin!!

Solid 4 stars for me.

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.

For visitors eschewing the broad appeal of Nancy Hands, the Victorian refinement of Ryan's or Liam Walsh at the top of the block, Eamonn Rea's offers all the toasted cheese and pints you can consume. Like most locals, this place has developed a following - possibly as a result of an eclectic music selection (Electronica nights, anyone?). Some regulars can border on the obnoxious while hanging out front for a smoke between pints, if that's not a deal breaker than this is your pub.
