Best fry up in Dublin!

Jan 2020 • none

Three of us stopped off here last Thursday just after midday, carrying hangovers and needed a good breakfast to bring us around before departing Dublin! It was about 12:15pm and the breakfast menu had finished. But we would like to thank the lady that was serving us for getting the chef to throw down one final fry up as it was all we wanted. It was one of the best I had, good wholesome food with a pot of tea. Service was good and it hit the spot with the 3 of us. Top marks 👍🏻

‘Twas the night before Christmas

Dec 2019 • none

While the pork was getting it’s crackling on in the oven, we headed for a quick Christmas Eve pint in Devitt’s - a local pub. Recently renovated to stretch out the clientele (the bigger windows allowing some light and lightness into what was a dark dreary older Irish style pub), we arrived to a pleasantly busy but not rammed Christmas atmosphere. The table by the window broke into traditional catholic Christmas (not all of Christmas is catholic you know!! The pagans are responsible for many of the borrowed elements of this ‘holiday’...) carols. They were great. Must have been choir members. For locals, for that easy pint on Christmas Eve, this is a great spot. Ordinarily it gets a mixed crowd - after-work drinkers, ole fellas supping pints, locals and Camden Street weekenders looking to get locked and lucky. So a nice melt pot if that’s your thing.

Dining and drinking in Devitts

Feb 2020 • none

Fantastic old style Dublin pub, I hate hotel bars so luckily the pub was a short walk from our hotel, we arrived the first day into the bar area and it was packed, the staff quickly found us a table and supplied us with Menus. We chose the roast beef, it was beautiful loads of beef and the vegetables were equally as good. We went back to the lounge at night and it was packed to the rafters, well it’ was Saturday night. We returned on Sunday to watch Ireland v England (enough said about that) again lovely food and drinks. I have rarely seen such professional staff who looked after us. Great place hope to return, Devitts was well worth the train trip from Belfast.

Horrific Customer Service

Sept 2021 • none

Went here with my friends for food & drinks last weekend. Staff were friendly and attentive. However, the only fault was the manager's comments were a disgrace! I and everyone at the table tasted a vodka my friend had ordered and it was clear there was a mix up as it did not taste or smell like vodka. The staff member got my friend another drink and still the same. She changed to a beer and asked the manager politely for it to be taken off the bill - no problem it seeemed. My other friend ordered the Nacho's which to him tasted stale, so he did not want to eat them - the manager was extremely rude at this stage and flippantly called him a ''Nacho expert'' as well as my friend a ''vodka expert'' whilst storming away. In no means were they rude about the food/drinks, we just did not want to pay for the items. After complaining to the manager about his nasty, throwaway, rude comments we were told by him that he was the owner?? Well you should get better customer service training Mr ''Owner''. He said we were all too ''drunk to tell it was vodka'' I was a sober person that evening and didn't taste vodka on the drink - yet I am apparently too drunk to tell the difference? Laughable. Not to mention the staff all looked terrified of him!! We will not be back and will not be recommending. Not to mention we dined indoors and were not asked for our Vaccination Cert's.

Great visits

Apr 2022 • none

We dropped in here for lunch, on the recommendation of our nearby hotel, to gain some recovery from jet lag after just landing from the US. What an excellent start to our visit! Service is so friendly, despite them being super busy. I had fish and chips, and both were gloriously crisp and not greasy, while my husband raved over his pork belly roll. I was revived by a Bailey's coffee that was beautifully presented, as well as quite tasty. We came back in the evening for drinks, and were amazed at the energy, noise level and packed bodies inside. The service staff were fantastic, filling everybody's orders quickly and accurately, while balancing full trays of drinks without spilling, as well as dispensing friendly comments to all. Live music started about 10 pm, but we left soon after that due to exhaustion.

Suberb late lunch

Jul 2019 • none

Prototypical Irish pub full of relics from the past and very friendly patronage. The menu was great and that which was ordered was unconditionally "Irish", beats English fare. Great selection of Pints. Thank You!

Our First Meal in Dublin: Very Good!

Sept 2023 • couples

Went there on a Saturday evening....packed, as expected. We did find 2 seats upstairs, which wasn't crowded or noisy. Great place, if you want to just eat. We decided to eat "light." My wife had the "toastie" (7.5 euros), and I had the special soup of the day. I think, she, Priscilla, who was great, called it butternut squash with coconut (6.95 euros). The soup was terrific! And, a cider and a beer to go with the food. A very attractive place.

Outstanding….

Mar 2023 • couples

Visited here around 5pm on a Friday night and it was already busy however we managed to find a table in bar upstairs, as it does not take bookings. It has a great atmosphere and staff were really friendly. We ordered two mains, the steak sandwich for me on ciabatta with fries which came with peppercorn sauce and a chicken sandwich for my other half. Beers were around 7.25 Euros each from memory which seems about standard for Dublin. The food was outstanding, piping hot and plentiful. Bill came to 52 Euros. Would highly recommend. It was the best meal/evening of our trip….

Great First Meal in Dublin

Oct 2023 • couples

First day in Dublin and full of jet lag, but we knew we wanted to kick the trip off with a pub meal. So glad we found this place ahead of time - what a meal. We arrived just at the start of the Sunday dinner rush but were able to get a table upstairs, where there was live music. Perfect. I had the Guinness stew and wife had the roast - lamb today. Both were beyond our expectations in taste and portion size. Our table was across from the dumb waiter used to bring all the meals up from the kitchen downstairs and we were able to view pretty much the entire menu as the items came out; nachos seemed very popular :) Recommend this place, especially if you want to get away from the craziness of Temple Mount and area.

Warm welcoming irish pub

Jan 2020 • friends

Decided to have an Irish whiskey and told the chap that we were novices and he went and got an armful of bottles and suggested that we sniff them all until we found one we liked! We were recommended to come here by an Irish lass who sneered at our suggestion of some other place nearby and this was her recommendation. Yes there is football on and that’s unfortunate. The 80s music was also amusing. But the attention to detail and the private owners whiskey cabinets in the back room are legend. I suggest doing something about the toilet smell perhaps but I had my tasters nose on for the whiskey and may have been overly sensitive. Lovely old place. Will be back.

Great welcoming pub with excellent food

Apr 2024 • family

The atmosphere in this pub is wonderful and we ate here twice during our time in Dublin. The staff at our hotel suggested this place when we asked for a pub with good food but nothing fancy. And Devitt's fit the bill perfectly. The food was outstanding, the service terrific and we loved the ambiance including the wall of whiskeys that customers lock into their little vaults in the wall. It was obvious that this is a local pub for the neighbourhood however the staff made us feel welcome. There is Irish music at night but we ate early so missed out on that.

Great staff and food in traditional pub.

Mar 2023 • friends

We visited Devitts daily whilst on a 3 day cultural visit to Dublin with friends as it was very near our hotel.It’s a very popular pub due to lovely food, fantastic service and atmosphere. Special mention to Sara who always had time for a chat whilst ensuring we always had a steady supply of Guiness. We enjoyed watching Six Nations games at Devitts over the weekend and the atmosphere was first class,friendly and great “craic’. There was the bonus of group of traditional musicians there on Sunday lunchtime which only added to our visit.

Dreaming of Devitt's pale ale

Dec 2024 • couples

We ate at Devitt's twice, coming back for more of its deliciously juicy, house-brewed pale ale (I wish I could have taken some home with me). The second time, the pub was packed, but the server recognized us and finagled a table for us. It's a convivial pub with lots of atmosphere and good vibes. The food is good, too -- we especially loved the sauteed-mushroom bruschetta.

Chicken better than KFC

Apr 2023 • couples

Devitts is a brilliant local pub, staff were friendly and helpful. As you expect in Dublin a nice pint of Guinness, Smithwicks and Bulmers. Plus try the chicken strips with chips and curry sauce - the seasoning on the chicken is amazing!

A Hidden Gem for us

May 2022 • none

Our last pub visit in Ireland and it was the best! Not as touristy as many pubs, but we were made to feel very welcome. Our server went out of her way to make us feel at home, and answered questions and was very friendly. It seemed like the entire staff was family (I think many of them are). The food and drinks were superb. We were particularly interested in small windowed lockers where patrons can rent and store there whiskey bottles to drink when they visit (picture). I was very honored to buy a drink for a lady who was counting out her coins to pay for her last drink. She thanked me probably a hundred times. And I loved the beer coasters, which are printed on the opposite side as post cards. If I am lucky enough to return to Dublin, I'll head here first.
