Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Great pizza and nice drinks. Only disappointment was being put on a large table at the back of the restaurant which as there was only 2 of us and we had booked in advance was a shame as it lacked some atmosphere that the smaller...tables at the front had. Service was good.More

We visiting the Jar to grab some dinner and a few cocktails as it did gluten free pizza! The food was lovely and was really tasty. You seemed to be able to order all of the pizzas gluten free which was exciting! I ordered a...mushroom pizza with bacon pieces and my boyfriend had a spicy pepperoni and ndjua. There was a slight wait for the food and the restaurant didn’t seem to be particularly busy. We visited on a Monday night.More

Great pizza, nice cocktail, good service. The Diavolo pizza was genuinely spicy for those of us who like a decent kick to a meal!

I went there with my colleagues few weeks ago. The service was poor, staff were all over the place, they did not know who (which table) ordered what. Also, very disappointng to have a list of cocktails, with specified ingredients, however I ordered Pornstar Martini...and this wasn't it. Literally, you could see from just looking at it that that was not a proper Pornstar Martini. One of the main ingredients is passion fruit juice. There was not a drop of that juice in my cocktail. Very dissapointing. Another thing to note is the staff at the bar (1st floor) throwing empty bottles into their "bottle bin" (which is literally behin the first booth) is very much distrubing for those sitting there. You might consider putting that bin somewhere else. Food was good, that is the only thing for which I can say that it was ok. I hope these recommendations/reviews will be taken on board for the sake of the business. Because, for example, word of mouth is a powerful tool for any business, and in my case, I will not be recommending your place to my friends. You can do better!More

This was ranked the #3 pizza place in Dublin, but I was not impressed. The service was lacking, my pizza came out cold and my salad came with my cold pizza rather than first… the place was empty. Taste was mediocre.

We came here on a Sunday evening for pizza. We were one of two couples in the place, which worried us a bit. They only had three white wines by the glass. I ordered a Chardonnay only to be told they had no Chardonnay. I...had another type, which was OK. We ordered two pizzas - the prosciutto and a margherita with mushrooms. Both pizzas were pretty good. The problem was the wait staff. They were inattentive. We had to stand up and flag them down for drinks as well as when we wanted the check.More

I absolutely love The Jar! Their cocktails are the best around and the staff are fantastic! I regularly return here and know we are guaranteed a great night. Their Espresso Martinis, the music and service are hard to beat! I haven't yet had a chance...to try the food but I've heard nothing but good things so that's definitely next on my list. I'd highly this bar for a great night.More

Myself and my colleagues had a fabulous evening at The Jar, thanks to the dedicated attention of their team - Jena, Lucas, and everyone else who helped to make our night out so seamless. The food was great value and delicious - there was something...for everyone - and I loved the ease of the wristbands provided for our large party. Nobody was thirsty or hungry throughout the entire evening! Not to mention the gorgeous Terrace event space. Jena, Lucas and the team are truly professionals and offered top tier hospitality. I can't recommend The Jar enough for gatherings large and small! We will certainly be back. Thank you!More

Rude staff and awful experience!!!! Worst place in Dublin, tables were tiny staff were rude and belittling. No love music. Cannot explain how rude staff were, we came for my birthday and they shoved us in a corner and laughed at us when we asked...to move. Apparently poor service isn’t a problem when there’s “a war going on so get over yourselves!” - the manager of The JarMore

Awful food, even worse service where I genuinely had to shout to be noticed (after 25 minutes) and genuinely undrinkable wine. Couldn’t be paid to return.

I was celebrating with a big group of about 20 friends at the Jar recently. It felt as if the staff were deliberately going out of their way to give us terrible service. For the first 2 hours we were there, we were the only...people on the ground floor and still the staff were beyond terrible. Each time we finished a drink, we were waiting roughly 20 minutes before a staff member even took an order. At one stage my friends drink was sent to another table, the waiter came back and said “sorry I sent that drink to that table over there, do you still want one?” Easily the worst service I have ever experienced in Dublin. Camden street is a busy place with a lot of other great bars so I will never be back.More

Booked a table for Friday night for myself and two friends. The manager brought us to our table , the front doors were open and we were all freezing cold. We asked him could We move tables( as there was plenty more available) he said...he would take a look and then never came back to us. He was rude and rushed us when eating our meal. Kept asking if he can take away the plates when we hadn’t even finished eating. We got served a round of drinks by the bartender then the manager came back and told us we had to leave. Potentially the worst customer experience I’ve had in Dublin. We were made to feel uncomfortable the whole time we were there. Used to go there for drinks and food but that will certainly be the last time myself and my friends go there.More

Scouting the city for outdoor dining places yesterday, I spotted the blackboard outside of The Jar advertising the terrace area and I'm so glad I spotted it! We were informed beforehand that they would need the table back for half 7 which still gave us...a generous hour and a half for a table of 5 without a booking. The terrace area is lovely and the heaters ensured that it wasn't too cold. As a vegetarian, I was impressed with the options and went for one of the pizzas which was delicious (there was also a vegan pizza that I didn't go for but sounded lovely). The staff were very accomodating and created a warm atmosphere in The Jar.More

If you contact the Jar directly, I’m sure you’ll be able to reserve a space - they don’t do dinner reservations though!!
