When visiting Dublin, its always a must. Stunning decoration of Art Deco. Its just fantastic. Friendly service. Live sports. Good people. We stopped by for a pint of Guinnes with our kids - even they loved it. We always come back.

One thing is sure about this cafe': it will make an impression on you! The place is huge and the decor is all but minimal: marble effect, big dark wooden statues everywhere, chandeliers, colorful glass... any object you can mention has been used in this place to make it unique The result is a strange mix of luxury and tackiness,...

Very up market and the prices reflect this on menu But a visit to see the place is worth it, Staff are a step above, and they think more about the customers requirement

Easily the most over rated establishment in Dublin. Overpriced, terrible value for the price, rude uninterested staff and abysmal food.

Lovely decor and good buzz about it but the staff seemed to lack any enthusiasm and I didn't see one of them smile at a customer. We asked what bottled beers they had and the waitress said we should go to the bar and have a look!...despite the fact they did have a drinks menu....not helpful!

My husband had visited here before on a stag do and had a great time. He wanted to go during the day to have a different experience. I was really impressed with the decor, really interesting. We shared the charcuterie plate and it was delicious - the rolls were slightly warned and the meats were very tasty. Not bad value... More

Visited on a Saturday night slightly tipsy on arrival after dinner. A cocktail and three spirit drinks later I left feeling sober and cheated. I feel very confident in saying the drinks were watered down (that's putting it mildly). The 'drinks' aren't cheap either! I will be reporting my suspicions to the appropriate bodies. I cannot recommend this place -... More

close to grafton street we stpped off for lunch and cocktails, althought the service was a little slow and disjointed the cocktails and the food did not disappoint it was very quiet during the would like to return for an evening out when I am sure the atmosphere would be great.
