Me and three friends were heading out for a meal on Saturday night in town and we arrived into the Bank at around 6pm. We did not know that you needed a reservation but thankfully a table became free after a few moments waiting and we sat down to order. I have to say the service is excellent and very... More

My brother who is a Dubliner, took me here on my visit this past year. The old Bank building has fabulous architecture not often seen in the states.

I would never visit Dublin without calling in here. Fabulous environment, friendly staff, good food - from full Irish breakfast, bar snacks to evening meals. Even if you only call in for a Guinness or an Irish coffee its a place not to be missed. More

Enjoyed a nice moscow mule, mojito, and of course a few pints of Guinness and Smithwicks. A bit more pricy than other locations, but it's a nice bar to start your evening with a classy drink. More
