Dublin's most famous pub, certainly in a literary sense, with its Joycean associations. Always classy and fashionable. It's the original Dublin gastropub at over 100 years old.Anybody who is familiar with Dublin pub food will be aware of Davy Byrne’s food reputation, in which seafood is the speciality.If you visit the premises at lunchtime and evening time, you will witness the huge trade which is done in fresh Seafood, Wagyu Burgers and pub classics like Fish & Chips. There is also a full range of Salads and Sandwiches to compliment these and, as often as not, you can enjoy Oysters and Guinness.The classic Gorgonzola sandwich with a glass of Burgundy as mentioned in Ulysses is available every day.Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate strollers/buggies indoors at Davy Byrnes but subject to availability, we can at our outside terraced area. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Food was excellent, very reasonably priced, quick and polite service, and a really lovely setting. Rated it moderate for noise but I never struggled to hear my companion, it's just a small space so it gets boisterous! Would highly recommend for a date night or a special occasion with a small group of friends.

    I was delighted by this oasis on the upper floor of Arnotts. The setting, decor, and service are perfect. I would expect to pay a premium for table service restaurants in the city centre, but it was very reasonably priced. There is a good choice of honemade pasta, pizza and salads, but with more interesting and good quality ingredients such as nduja sausage, Burrata cheese, artichoke and prosecco cream sauce. Delightful selection of flatbreads, dips, and drinks too. The pistachio ice-cream tartufo was sublime and generously portioned, at only €8. Low key jazz music was a welcome balm to the ears compared to the usual blaring cacophony one must endure in even the nicest cafés and restaurants. I congratulated the manager on such a well executed establishment. I will return.
