First time in the Kilmardinny, sadly was in Kilmardinny for tea time after my uncles funeral,…read morethough a sad occasion it was an honor to be in his local for a pint and to raise a glass (or two) in his honor. The pub is quite large and can accommodate a large party such as ourselves for the afternoon. Lots of TV's to catch a match and craic to feel at home. We had a lovely veg soup upon our arrival to take the cold from the gravesite out of us and get the warmth back in. The soup was piping hot and light enough to leave room for a lovely tea sandwich or two. And the tea sandwiches were served with crunchy rippled cheese and onion crisps (Hunkey Dorys) that complimented the sandwhiches nicely. The service was a bit scattered but can't slag them considering we were quite a large party all at the same time. Once they got going they were friendly and attentive. The Guinness was nice, the tea and they make a lovely Irish Coffee as well. To you Uncle Paddy, it was an honor to sit in your local and celebrate you!

Hospitality at Kenny's extends far beyond the doling out of splendid pints. Insider tips on…read moreupcoming horse races are offered. Thought provoking albeit populist musings on systemic corruption in Irish politics are always offered. If hunger in addition to an unquenched thirst draws you to Kenny's then I suggest the Planter's Peanut salad as an appetizer followed by Cheese 'n Onion Lasange. For smokers, the front patio offers spectacular views of the sun setting over Lorcan Avenue.

It's clean and extremely spacious. The Christmas decorations are pretty phenomenal for a pub! I wasn't really welcomed when I came in and it was a bit confusing whether I should seat myself or not, but once I found a table and sat down, I was well looked after. Had a simple fry-up and coffee but it was nicely done and fairly quick. The place started to fill up for the carvery as I finished and it looked like they have quite a loyal following. I'd be interested to stop in again for lunch or dinner, though (as others have said) I did find it on the expensive side.

Yes, the place was pretty full, but there were still plenty of seats left - just none with a view of a TV. While that was kind of disappointing, we tried not to let that get us down. We enjoyed a few reasonably priced drinks and a few even got food. The food presented well and appeared to be a good value. Really, other than the TV issue, everything else seemed to work out.

Staff are nice and the crowd is mostly local, hence cheerful but not annoying. It's a real cosy place and I loved going there for a pint in the evening. Even if you are alone, just bring a book or watch some rugby, you'll be fine, nobody will be judging you. Absolute plus: almost no tourists, which makes the crowd even more friendly to the odd foreigner entering this grand place :)

I was just there last Saturday night and it wasn't too crowded at all, there were 3 of us and we all managed to get seats. It is an older and decent crowd in Harrys but that definitely has its upsides - very relaxed and chilled. Make sure you check out the Well which is situated in the main bar, nice touch! This pub is definitely up there with the best of them and it doesn't matter when you plan on leaving, there are lots of Taxis parked outside.

I was hoping for an Irish pub experience and totally got it from The Stag's Head. Even the name…read morefulfilled expectations! 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. Great atmosphere and food/drinks. Lots of pubs to choose from in Dublin - Stag's Head is worthy of a visit.

The scampi and the Mediterranean salad were both outstanding on our first visit. The service was slow and not very attentive but the place was very busy. On our last day of our holiday, we decided to go back for fish and chips because the scampi had been so good. This time the service varied from indifferent to downright rude (2 different servers) and my husband's fish and chops were fine but mine was mostly batter. Not what we expected at all.

Fantastic meal, ambiance and service!…read more We had reservations for 7 people at 7pm and were greeted and directed to our seats before the last of us had even entered the restaurant! Lots of drinks and buffalo wings were the highlight for me. I had a beef pie that was very good though the pastry was a little tough. The buffalo potatoes were well undercooked but still nice. Those buffalo wings though!! Full transparency I am American so I have eaten a LOT of wings in my life. At least once a week. These were better than those. Than all of em! Just amazing! (As I prepare for a beating from US wing nerds). I love this place. Going on my list of "when in Dublin" (which is often) spots to eat!
