⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic First Stop in Dublin! It was our first day in Ireland, and after checking into our hotel and taking a short nap, we headed out to explore the city center and Temple Bar area. We were absolutely famished! River Bar was the first place where we looked at the menu, and we decided to give it a try. Oh boy, am I glad we did! What we ordered: 🟢 Vegetarian Platter 🍔 Veg Burger 🍝 Veg Pasta We were so hungry that we completely forgot to take pictures, but everything was absolutely delicious! The Vibe & Service: The music was great, the service was incredibly quick, and the staff was super friendly, too. If you're in the area, definitely check them out! Also multiple screens to view football live!
I dropped in for lunch and tried their club sandwich. My bartender was super friendly and helpful. The sandwich was excellent and large enough to feed two people. The TVs were set to sports and I was able to watch the French Open. Very nice vibe and I would come back on another visit to Dublin.
Would recommend this as a bar for going and watching the football but wouldn't recommend it for the food. Dropped in for a couple of pints, something to eat and to watch as football match. Was a good choice of drinks on draft and bottled. Bar was very busy and we asked to get something to eat, informed the waitress that I am unable to eat anything with gluten in it and was told that the only thing that I could eat was the salad, I then asked if I could have the Thai green curry since gluten was not listed as an allergen on the menu was told that I could have that but with no chips. Food did come out quite quickly but was barely warm and just tasted ok. Was a very lively atmosphere and the downstairs part was very good for watching the football match, so I would recommend this place as a sports bar but not as a restaurant, especially if you have any allergies or intolerances
Nice place with really nice staff. Close to busstop in center of Dublin. On the south side so it is what I understand on the right side of the Liffy. Big place that can take alot of people in for food, beer and drinks, or just a drink if you not hungry. Big area in basement with alot of toilets for the customer.
Great spot by the river with really good food and a fun atmosphere. Plenty of space compared to similar places, so it never feels crowded. Definitely worth a visit
