If you are looking for high end pub food, this is your place. The tempura fried fish and chips was fine, although the chips were underwhelming, but the lamb burger was good. The service left a little to be desired - we placed our order before a large party of 20 placed theirs, but didn't get served until afterwards, which... More

Stumbled across this restaurant by accident. All the staff made us feel very welcome. The food was lovely and reasonably priced too. There were six in our party and everyone was happy with the food and the service. Good interaction with the staff who were friendly but not intrusive. This restaurant will definitely go on our "return to" list.

The Waterloo was wonderful, elegant and beautifully set tables with a warm and cosy atmosphere. The food was outstanding and the service was superb. The staff could not have been more polite, friendly and efficient nothing was too much trouble. My colleagues and myself had a fantastic night and will certainly be returning. My favourite restaurant in Dublin.

Oh yummy organic roasted chicken served on a wooden cutting board. Nice to see a restaurant that isn't doing the usual Irish pub menu. The inside space opens up to a two-story ceiling with painted mural of the neighborhood on the back wall. Efficient, kind service.

My wife and I visited this pub after the famous Ulster Rugby win over Edinburgh on 28th April 2012. We had visited this area loads of times and for some reason we had never been in here before. The pub looks like a traditional Irish bar from the outside, but the interior offers so much more. It is quite a... More

Clean, tidy, good staff - Irish folk too. Very tasty food. Not too pricey for Dublin. Decor was mainly modern but mixed with old. Great pint!
