He has a ribeye steak, I had "tiger prawn". I'm putting that in quotes because they were neither. They were small shrimp. I was disappointed. His steak was not as good as it should have been. Unfortunately he had one at another restaurant two nights earlier and there was no comparison. Service was impeccable, like that at a 5 star establishment. The place was incredible, especially the ceiling. Lots of seating choices.

A couple great old school bar tenders. Connor being by far the most classic and amazing at his job. Great pub to watch a match or grab a perfectly poured Guinness.

Had an 'old man' bar look coming from it but when I tried it out, was wishing I hadn't pre-judged and took so long to visit this place. This is a cosy pub on the main street, decent space inside with plenty of tabled seating and bar stools, of course. Has a TV so when a game is on, this is a great place to chill out watch the sports and enjoy a drink. Very typical Irish bar in terms of options, if you are looking for all the craft alternative drinks this isn't for you but it has all the usual classics Guinness, Heineken, Budweiser and then full stocked fridge with the usual bottled beers and spirits galore. I've been here and enjoyed a quiet drink with the husband but have also been here with a group of friends and have enjoyed it on all occasions. The atmosphere is really chilled and people are always welcoming. As a touristy village of course there is always the fair share of tourists sampling Guinness or checking out their Dalkey walking map which is nice sometime to give them a little tip or trick as they venture off up the coast road. This place ticks a number of boxes: - Quiet Drink with a read of the papers - Quiet Drink and catch up with a friend - Lively Drink with a group of friends - Lively Drink Watch Sports (football, gaelic, rugby, whatever your sport of choice is) Friendly staff who are always chatting with the locals and keeping the glasses full... they balance the attention well, nothing too intrusive but yet know there are there and on the ball to see the next round of drinks come timely :-)

This was a quaint little Pub in the town of Killnney. It was close to the hotel we were staying at,…read morethe Fitzpatrick Castle. The teeny tiny town was about a mile away and had a couple pubs which was surprising considering most towns in Ireland have the streets dotted with pubs. The hotel and locals said go to The Magpie and we did and had a great meal. The portions were humongous and we ordered way too much food. Of course we had to try the local version of the seafood chowder which did not disappoint as it was loaded with tons of seafood. We also got a seafood linguine. When you're surrounded by the ocean you always go for seafood! At least we do.

Excited to try the Parmesan and truffle oil chips but the chips arrived hot but soggy/soft. Oh…read morewell. Likely it was since the kitchen just opened that the oil wasn't hot enough or the chips were put into the oil still frozen/cool. So while the chips flavor was spot on this is more of a glitch than consistent problem. The the crab and crawfish cakes came out and they were cooked perfectly and very tasty. It was a light lunch as my friend and I shared the chips as a starter and then ordered starters for our meals. It was more than enough . The restaurant has a great view of the intersection and the shops looking towards Dalkey Castle. Inside it was clean and spacious as the tables were spaced apart to feel not close.

His wit is lightening fast which helps as he reaches for the higher shelves The Guinness is superb and worth the visit alone having been thoughtfully managed with temperature and excellent maintenance by professionals There is no pub in Dublin or Dun Laoghaire that I want to spend in more than this pub Some call if "the old man bar" because young and old alike feel welcome there If you like fun the owner encourages all singers good and bad to belt one out so don't be shy even if you don't know all the words. I highly recommend you go there have a pint and a good laugh. I'll probably see you there the next trip I'm home from Florida to visit my family!!!

Yet another Dalkey pub that just doesn't come up to scratch. It's never really all that busy, and…read moreit's tucked away down the back of the village. It had a brief moment of coolness just when it opened, but that light went out fairly quickly. However, it does have a saving grace. This is where I watched Ireland play England (the first time) in Croke Park. And may have maybe cried when 'God Save the Queen' was played. My father was likewise moved, while my Spanish friend who was over for the weekend looked on in confusion, wondering what all the fuss was about.

This is defo the place to come to enjoy a tipple after wondering Killiney Hill or Vico Road/Coast Road! Full bar along with very reasonably priced wines available by the glass or the bottle; their food menu is very casual and good price tag. There is 2 TV screens for those into the sport, at the time I was there... They had GAA on one, football on the other. Inside is very clean and well spaced out, not at all what I expected from the outside. This place would suit both local as well as a great spot for tourists, the friendly staff make it definitely an Irish warm welcome. They host free quiz night every Sunday (drink prizes on offer); I'll be definitely back to try it and will let you in on that with an updated review soon! Plus... If you get the free hug check in offer... Redeem it! ha ha
