I took my girlfriend out to Urban Brewing while we were in Dublin and the experience was incredible. The Brighid cocktail was the best cocktail I have ever had. Definitely pricey but it was well worth it. Victor was our server and he took great care of us. Will be back if in Dublin again! read more

Gaby was very helpful with helping us choose a beer and with great service. The restaurant is surprisingly nice in the lower level. Very cozy and ascetically pleasant. A must do in Dublin. read more

Be sure to book in advance! The restaurant managed to squeeze us in at 3:30 PM. The underground setting is interesting and creates a fun, cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious and there was a great selection of beers! read more

A friend and I went here for lunch. We had a reservation and were seated right away. It's a nice atmosphere and we were seated on the patio. We both had the fish and chips which was good, as was the service. Gratuity was included in the bill. read more

Start with the good... The atmosphere is amazing. The staff is very friendly as well. The food is also good. What I don't like is the amount of food they REQUIRE you to order. Each person is REQUIRED to order one main dish and two side dishes PER PERSON! That is way too much food. The portions of the mains and sides are large. None of us could finish the food the make you buy. This should also be rated above two $$. It's expensive by the time you have to order all of these rounds of food. It was over $400 euro for four people. One main, two sides, and one drink per person. I wouldn't do this place again. read more

Large place with indoor and outdoor seating - the basement has a really cool, cave-like vibe to it, and the bar is impressively large. We only got the cheese plate, but the food going to the other tables looked decent. Beer was just OK. read more

This place was really great. Service and food was well above my expectations based on the price. Prepare to read a novel when picking your beverage. They definitely showed up to show out. And the underground dining room was very unique and comfortable. We had to eat in a hurry to catch a train and they absolutely made that possible, but we are going back tonight just to get the full experience. EDIT: we went back and the downstairs dining was booked so we ate outside. It was a beautiful day, but unfortunately the service didn't work out as well. The food was amazing, but our server barely visited us. He didn't drop off our food (which is fine) but he didn't ever come check on us until we had finished our main course. We were very disappointed as the service really impacted our perception of the value vs. price. And it wasn't even that busy (see outdoor pic) read more

While visiting Ireland we had our first dinner here and it was amazing! First off the place is so cool with lots of history. Second the place was decorated for Christmas and they out did themselves. It was beautiful!!! Then the service was amazing. The prices were fantastic. We split mushroom risotto, helium cheese and the steak. Everything was sooo delicious. If I lived in Ireland I would eat here frequently! read more

The service was great! Lovely space and a great place to dine. The downstairs was absolutely gorgeous especially with the christmas decor. The drink menu is full of so many options however the food menu is on the slim side. Either way , we had a great time ! read more

Had the best dinner here. Not only was the food amazing, the service was incredible. We have Lorenzo as our server first and he helped with our beer and tapas tasting. He was very well informed on the pairing and elevated our experience from the start. Once Lorenzo went home we had Victor take over. Another great addition to our dinner. He was super personable and enjoyed talking with us about our favorites we had this evening. We also were helped by a few of the ladies on staff tonight as well. Thank you ladies for your great service, apologies for not catching your names for this review! Overall, we loved it. I will recommend this place to other tourists as I hope they get to experience the great food and staff that we were fortunate enough to have tonight. THANK YOU!! read more

Food and ambiance were incredible. The vaulted ceilings in the basement were exceptional.! Very nice atmosphere. Can get loud but not too much as it doesn't echo. We had beef cheek which was incredibly soft. It's the first time we tried this. The cheese selections were incredible. I highly recommend this place read more

Great food and drinks. The atmosphere was amazing. And service was tier one. If we are back in Dublin, we would definitely make it back there again. read more

Certainly an interesting venue with a lot of history. The beer overall was very good. Nice selection. Something for everyone perhaps. We sat right in the main bar. Decent service. Some nice craft for selections. Would definitely come back if I was in Limerick again. Easy walk from our hotel. read more

This place was near our hotel, which seems to be in a virtual food desert. The duck was excellent, although the portion was small. The endive salad and goat cheese salad was also very good. The sticky toffee pudding was very good. The fried calamari appetizer was very good. They initially seated us upstairs, on the ground floor, which is mainly a bar and was way too loud. We asked to be moved downstairs and, after some brief, light resistance, were given a table downstairs, where it was much more comfortable. This is our third day in Dublin and this was our best meal so far. read more

Great atmosphere, food was yummy (fish and chips plus brandy + chocolate compote dessert). We tried the Earl Grey IPA and Mexican Lager- both were great. Alejandro was efficient, friendly and gave excellent recommendations. read more

Urban Brewing was fantastic! We had a reservation for 20:30 and they sat us in the underground dining area in a big booth. The underground ambiance was romantic but still perfect for family or friends as well. The service was amazing! We had Melanie who was attentive and personable and got the rounds of drinks and food to us quickly and efficiently. The food was great, with some standout highlights such as the calamari, fried potatoes, peppers and lamb flatbread. We went on a Monday night, which they are typically not open for, but they had the Sunday tapas tasting menu. Great experience overall. Thanks Melanie! read more

Although the reservation system makes it difficult to pop in for a quick drink, this location right on the Quays is a great place to relax and enjoy the beers and atmosphere. The downstairs vaulted rooms are beautiful and secluded. The staff was very helpful with recommendations. Try the Mexican lager! read more

Urban Brewing has the most attentive staff in Dublin. The food was incredible and the beer selection was amazing. That other brewery restaurant can't hold a candle to the quality and service here. The smoked halibut chowder was sublime. You really should stop by if get a chance. read more

Food was great. I had beef cheeks, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. Overall, good food.

This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. My wife and I have been here 6-7 times and generally order the food and beer pairing menu. The four course meals are perfectly paired with their craft beers. The starters are generally a tuna, followed by some raw fish. The main has been a duo of Irish beef followed by a cake with a caramel sauce. I could eat this every day, but would have to exercise a lot to keep my weight down! The beers are amazing from the saison to the red IPA. I was sad recently they were fully booked on a Sunday night, so plan ahead and book a table. I love this place! read more

Craft beer tasting with tapas! As you walk up to Urban Brewing, the place is just buzzing with energy. Outdoor sitting with fun music flows out of the establishment. While their is a full dining menu, I opted to descend underground to enjoy their tapas offering. It takes a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the dimmer lighting. But when it does, the scene is amazing. You pass a cage of wine and spirits, then enter into what was a former underground storage area for the shipyard. Curved wall tunnels are brightly decorated with food photos. They have about a dozen craft brews on tap. For €12, you can do a beer sampler flight and choose 4 brews. I went with the O'Hare lager, O'Hare nitro amber, O'Hare stout, and another lager similar to Heineken. All of the beers had a distinct profile that were unique and delicious. My favorite was the amber nitro. Feeling peckish, I tried a range of tapas with prices ranging from €5-€12 per plate. The winners in my book were the polenta fries, rump steak and pork cheek slider. Service was attentive and friendly. Water glasses were refreshed regularly and food came out quickly. I think this place is a gem of a find. Great to go with friends where you can sample and share. Will be back to try more! read more

Great food! Super cool vibe and easy to get a seat. Tapas were perfect and delicious drinks.

Service was terrible. Our waitress told us that our food would be slow because the chef was under pressure. A couple came part way through our wait and got their food 15 minutes before we did even though we ordered well over 30 minutes before. Our waitress came up to us again and said, "I'm sorry, you will have to wait another few minutes, it's just so hard today!" and we were okay with it. In total, we waited probably 45 minutes for food. The food was great! I ordered tapas and they were excellent! Even though they were all really good, they weren't worth the wait. If you are okay with waiting awhile for great food, I would recommend this place. But if you don't have a good 2 hours to spare, don't go here. read more

The decor in this restaurant is truly beautiful. Has a very gothic feel to it. The food was ok. Nothing too special to write about. They do have an extensive beer collection. I am not a beer drinker though so cannot talk to the beer quality. Over all an ok place. read more

Came in here on a whim as I used to live across the Liffy when there was nearly nothing in this building and I wanted to check out a new local brew. Was not let down at all. Had a great chat with the bar staff about things that they were working on and they showed me around the space as well. I had a flight and enjoyed what I thought I would and even a few I was hesitant about (not big on stouts and porters but they convinced me to try one) read more

Really nice bar, amazing space more like a fancy tunnel. Service is great and i had mochtail which was fantastic. I would so go again for dinner, really cool building, romantique style interior and great ambience. read more

Husband and I tried this place on our honeymoon trip based on Instagram and while the food was great the service and the prices were terrible! I have been to upscale resturants before and while this place is comparable, €5 for water, really? And the average glass of wine going for a minimum of €8? Ok, but then waiting and waiting and waiting for drinks, then a a longer wait for the check....too much waiting for €21 chicken. To be clear a drink served on the rocks should come with 1 maybe 2 large pieces of ice that will melt slowly and not dilute the spirit; not a glass full like you are making a cocktail. Atomosohere was lovely, if a bit loud (not romantic at all) and club like; obviously as we are on holiday we will not be back but I feel there were quite a few other options for the money. read more

One of my worst experiences ever. Very small portions, subpar vegan option (there are only two vegetarian options and only a single vegan option for starter, main and dessert) and very pricey. They don't let you sit after your food at all and want to rush to get you out of the place. Rude staff as well. Not going back there. read more

Tried the tapas menu and all the dishes were great! Highly recommend the mussels, soft shell crab, and crum steak. read more

Super friendly hostess saw we had a party of 7. We wanted drinks maybe tapas. We were seated in the downstairs dinning room which was empty. We decided on only drinks. Our server initially was going to have us move to the bar after informing us the tables were only for eating and then told us the hostess was new and didn't know better. He relented and allowed us to stay. The drinks were really good but there was literally only one other table... on a Monday. Atmosphere was lovely. read more

My new place to be! I am working in the IFSC and was passing by it everyday waiting for it to open. I went there a few times already since the place opened and I love it. Food is great and they have an amazing selection of beverages to fit all the tastes. The place itself is cozy and comfy read more

Very good beer selection but very poor service. You have to fight for attention from servers who actively ignore you. Ordered some food and the guy actually said "our kitchen just opened so it may take a while." Im still trying to figure that one out, why would it take longer when they have nothing to do? Still - 40 minutes later - no food. Others are getting served though. Weird. read more

Whether you're having a beer and tapas upstairs or a meal downstairs, Urban's interior is stunning. And it doesn't stop there. The food is outstanding, the wine list extensive with fantastic options for every budget, and the beer list is one of the largest in Dublin with some great house beers also on offer straight from the tank. Obviously the huge terrace is a bonus as well. There's something for everyone here and anyone will have a great time. Definitely recommended! read more

Extremely lucky find for a weary jet-lagged customer. We entered about 10 minutes before the tapas kitchen closed. We picked out a blue cheese flatbread and crab tempura. Both excellent. Beers excellent. Walked out with a bill under €50, which included a 11% tip. Only complaint was very loud music and a few too many smokers on the patio, but it did not take away from a very good experience. This is a 4.5 all day. read more

Visited twice. Once for beer - Fair service & good beer upstairs. And again for food & drink. Mixed service downstairs, delicious tapas and a lack of knowledge about their own beers. read more

I have been going to Urban Brewing bar for a couple of times, I really enjoy the atmosphere. There is a large choice of flavorful home brewed beers and also some lovely tapas. I really recommend this place for a afterwork or with a group of friends. You can either enjoy the terrace or the ground floor with it's lovely urban decoration. read more
