Crema's Take

Tucked in Dublin with views of the needle point bridge, this inviting pub strikes a warm balance between elevated craft cocktails—their Old Fashions are perfectly prepared—and approachable comfort food that won't break the bank. The generous windows overlooking the outdoor patio create an ideal spot for lingering conversations with friends or family, where friendly staff genuinely seem to care about making your night memorable. While service can be inconsistent depending on staffing levels, the overall experience keeps drawing people back for that rare combination of thoughtful drinks, good food, and genuine hospitality.

Had a great experience! Friendly staff, great food and drinks. Would definitely recommend to family and friends who want a nice night out. Prices for food were good and we had a very nice waiter. Made reservations and our table was ready for us when we arrived. I called letting them know we’d be about 15 minutes late and they were super nice about everything. 10/10 overall experience!

This is the first review I’ve done where I’ve been conflicted on a rating. Our overall dining experience was very good, so I’m giving it a five on that count. The Old Fashions were perfectly prepared and the service was excellent. The food was just ok. I ordered chicken Marsala and it came in an odd white sauce. The chicken itself was a bit dry and not trimmed the best, although the asparagus was very good. We’ll probably give Fado a try on another occasion to see how it compares.

A group of us went out to dinner, and this restaurant was recommended by our hotel. The service was great as the waitress gave us recommendations on the food items. She frequently checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was average but still tasted okay. Atmosphere of restaurant inside, a bit overly done, decor wise but still kept clean. Outdoor seating looks nice but when we went, it was too cold. Great Mall to visit when you have the time.

Food was honestly super wonderful!! Service on the other hand was pretty slim. I’m not sure if they were short staffed but the whole time our waiter saw us 3 times and we were there for about an hour and half. My fiance wanted to order a drink but was no where to be found when he wanted to order. I’d definitely come here again even if the service is a little lackluster next time!

My husband and I stopped in after playing VR at Sandbox down the street. We sat close to the big windows by the outdoor patio. It was a fantastic view and you could see the needle point bridge. We had the salmon bites as our appetizer and did half cucumber half potato. They were delicious! We also got cocktails and a beer, all were half off since we dined at lunch time. For our main dishes we got half an order of fish and chips and the fish sandwich. Our server (Lauren) was great and made some fantastic recommendations. Everything was delicious and we want to go back to try the dinner menu.
