What People Are Saying About Dublin Bar & Grille

The Scene
The dark-wood, U-shaped bar in the middle dominates the cozy room; tables decked in white linen and candles fill nearly every remaining inch. Twinkling green lights stripe the low ceiling, creating a warm, cheery vibe. All sorts of people--older, overcoated businessmen, families with children, hand-holding couples and residents of nearby high-rise condos--eat and drink here. The jukebox sends out mellow-volume classics by U2, Nirvana and Fleetwood Mac, while TVs play unobtrusively from the corners.
The Draw
Dublin's is relaxed yet classy, and eminently reliable--it's open 365 days a year until 4am. Chefs in fluffy hats cook over an open grill straight through to the wee hours; loyal patrons swear by the soups, steak and chicken dishes. Tie-wearing bartenders pull quality domestic beers (Goose Island, Sam Adams) and imports (Newcastle, Guinness) from the tap, plus drams from the expansive whiskey selection.

Dublins is a great restaurant for any time of the day (or night)- it's open super late and is always a friendly, comfy place to go. The food is greasy, but good for bar food. I recommend the grilled chicken fingers with waffle fries!

Usually when you go to an Irish restaurant you expect two things, friendly staff and good Irish food. You will get neither at Dublin?s Pub. Now, if you would like non Irish food served by a rude non Irish staff then this is your place. There was a time when you could sit for hours, eat and drink until your hearts content. Last time?and I mean last time I was at Dublin?s Pub they seated someone else at our table before we finished our meal. No kidding!

I've lived above this joint for two years. I order there on a regular basis, and would not complain about the food. I have never had a problem with a dish there in the two years me and my husband have been going there. I used to go there late night for food before going home, or stopping in for one last drink before heading home. The crowd is always a weird show-mostly I think because of the location. I never bat an eye with anything I see there, because it seems that I've seen just about everything. I must say, that I don't go there friday or saturday nights to drink, but it does get quite crowded. Needless to say, I do love this place-and their food for a pub is very good.
