Reviews
Nice pub with comfortable chairs and a few booths. I had the veggie burger to eat. The patty itself, made of chickpeas and sweet potato, I would have loved to eat as a stew. But as a burger patty it was too dry and mushy to work, especially without much topping in the burger. And there's not enough of it to really be filling. Delicious fries though! 3/5 meal. The live music was a very skilled guitarist who sung old pop sungs.
The original pub in Dublin that all other pubs are based on is a must visit. Best stew on the planet, the drinks taste straight off the line from the nearby factories & the atmosphere + attentive/friendly staff makes you feel part of the Irish family. Can’t wait to visit again and enjoy more Mulligan Haines! 🍻☘️🇮🇪
Great dinner! The stew was remarkable. The cocktails were very impressive as well. They had live music that was brilliant and not too loud as well. Great spot to stop for a lovely dinner.
On the day we visited most things we wanted were unfortunately unavailable. They couldn’t make coffee as their coffee machine was broken and some things from the kitchen were also unavailable. The atmosphere was decent but despite the bar being empty we got seated very close to 2 other tables and it was basically impossible to get in or out without disturbing the other people. The bar itself is nicely decorated and in a good location.
We were attracted by the location. A traditional Irish pub were you can enjoy a good Guinness and live music. What we didn't expect was the delicious food we ordered. We ate the Irish Stew and the Mulligan's BBQ ribs. All so savory and delightful. By the way, a very special place.
