レビュー
Popped in here for a working lunch. Had a coke and a cheese and ham toastie, really nice. Staff was so friendly, great service I would recommend I will have to pop back when I’m not working so I can try their stout
Lovely, bar, great friendly service however they really need to invest in their toilets. Both ladies had toilet seats that didn't fit and the hand dryer didn't work and there were no paper towels.
The Bankers is one of those Dublin pubs that instantly gives you that “this is exactly why I came to Ireland” feeling. The bright red exterior already stands out from across the street, but inside it becomes the kind of classic pub atmosphere many people hope to find in Dublin: dark wood, whiskey shelves, perfectly poured Guinness and that warm, slightly chaotic energy that makes Irish pubs so special. What I really liked is that, despite being close to the Temple Bar area, the place still feels genuinely relaxed and authentic instead of overly touristy. You have locals casually sitting at the bar, visitors from all over the world outside in the sun, and this constant buzz of conversation that somehow never feels stressful. The Guinness was excellent, creamy and properly poured, and the whiskey selection is much stronger than you might expect from the outside. Especially in the late afternoon, when the sunlight hits the red façade and people start filling the street outside, the whole place almost feels like a movie version of Dublin, except it is real.
Stopped here for some dinner and decided to finally try fish and chips in Ireland. Hate to say it but I wasn't overly impressed. The piece was huge but the batter was pretty thick so I cut half it off and scraped the fish out. Maybe my expectations were too high as I have read many reviews how good it was here ? I also thought the tartare sauce being served in a plastics lidded container was a but gauche more suited to a takeaway bar. Bar had a nice atmosphere and the waiters were very attentive.
