    To be honest, we must have come on a bad night. We were overcharged for the 'cheese plate' €14 instead of €11, the cheese plate itself being 3 slices of the same type of cheese and a few jacobs crackers and some jam. The chicken wings were dry with no sauce, just a very plain green mayo type garnish on the bottom of the plate for €14. The menu is very limited and we were told they had no cheese croquettes or the hallumi flatbread that night, leaving very few options. We were also told this after we had been looking at the menus for about 15 mins. They had the same playlist on of about 5 songs and they played at the river by groove armada about 4 times in the space that we were there. We were sat beside the toilet and when I asked could we sit somewhere else, we were told an engagement party was coming in for the rest of the tables that evening. I understand you cant give away tables if they're booked for parties but if they had of told us we had to be gone by a certain time we would have preferred a nicer table. The reviews were really good so I was really disappointed but maybe we just came on a bad night. Just overall we felt like we were inconveniencing the staff, would it try again on a different night as I think they were just all over the place that night.

    Hi Alice, I am so sorry to hear this was your experience we had a few things going on that night and we apologise if it affected your evening as it shouldn't of. I'll follow up with you directly Many thanks, Lynn

    They were closed. We made a reservation, confirmed our reservation, and then walked a mile from our hotel to this restaurant only to learn once we got there that it was closed. No one contacted us, let us know, nothing. We had to scramble to find another dinner spot in a foreign city.

    What a cool venue, every patterned jumpsuit and limited edition giclèe screenprint in Dublin was in the house. Delicious tacos and share plates with fresh ingredients that pinged (it was El Milagro’s turn in the kitchen). Friendly easygoing staff. Infectious beats drifting in from the bar. Listen, we were possibly swayed from the start by being out without the kids for the first time in forever, so there was a major hit of kiddyless giddiness in the air. But 5 out of 5 and then some! 💫💫💫💫💫

    We went to the Mexican Pop up and it was great. The food was delicious, the service was great. The music was a little too loud, but I guess the target for that restaurant are young folks.

    I contacted Hens teeth ahead of booking and was assured that they would be doing the vegan roast “all day” on Sunday. Arrived for my booking to be told the Sunday roast (vegan or normal) wasn’t available. Very very disappointed management.

    At first glance we thought - hmm not many options to choose from last Sunday evening... There was a chicken and leek pie for two, pork belly, or roast aubergine on the menu. My friend and I both ordered the aubergine. It was outstandingly good - served with miso, hazlenuts and a trio of fantastic sides. We'll definitely be back for another Sunday roast, and hopefully get to try the weekday menus too.

    Great venue to enjoy Saturday nite dinner with a difference, whether date nite or group of friends. My partner had the steak and was not disappointed. Great selection of cocktails and drinks. Positive energy in the room and plus you can stay on afterwards for drinks and great music vibes. Go check it out.

    Service was pretty terrible. Had to ask repeatedly for items we had ordered, both drinks and food (waited more than an hour for one dish, which they kindly offered not to charge for). It’s a limited menu and they were also out of one of the options It’s a cool place and have had good experiences at lunch but wouldn’t go back for dinner again.

    A pleasant dining experience was diminished by excessively loud music. It was turned up when we started eating and proved impossible to chat. It was turned down temporarily when we asked but shortly afterwards was turned up again to an even higher level. It is a pity as the venue was interesting and both the service and food were good.
