This place going down to hill recently…about food is very disappointing and pricey…about the welcoming and service still the same s…t….the “short manager Jimmy still the same rude and useless pal!!! Avoid this place

Over the years we normally dined in Hedigans prior to heading for Croke Park. Carvery was always great and reasonably priced. However last Sunday carvery was discontinued and we had to settle for a set menu. No problem there except for the fact that the...menu was deplorable. Burger this, Burger that and fish and chips which we opted for. Fish was bland/ tasteless. If it wasn't for the tartare sauce I think I would have starved. Grossly overpriced at €17.50 pp. We might do what Kilkenny and Tipperary supporters do in future. A flask of tea and sandwiches! We won't go that far but we will never return to the Brian Boru until they get their act together. We will have something sorted before the semifinal Disgruntled GalwegiansMore

Decided to have some food and a pint or two . Food ok good value my wife had pasta and I opted for a burger. Good value . The pub itself has a good vibe But very disappointed with the pint of Guinness. I don't...understand how the Guinness is so bad I would give it. 5 out of 10 a flat tasteless pint. I don't understand how the pint is so bad.More

Having eaten in the Brian Boru pub many times pre Covid & during the various lockdowns we found that all the traditional dishes are now gone from the menu. We found the options poor, to be honest. The soup of the day was tomato &...was so thick it was like an Italian sauce. My Dad's main course was served with his soup & when he explained that the 2 courses should not be served together as his main course would go cold , it was met with the response " you should have said that you wanted that as a starter "? Food was not great at all.. & although the outdoor dining area is very comfortable the Brian Boru lacks the friendly atmosphere & historical charm it once had.More

Stopped here for an hour before the hurling game today and very impressed - well run, attentive staff, although some obviously new - and the food very tasty, I had the sourdough chicken baguette with a side of garlic greens - delish The burger was...very tasty as well apparently I’ll be backMore

A rather small issue was very badly handled by management to the extent that customers of 40 years standing vowed never to return to this establishment. Too complicated to explain in a review but I’ll certainly never return to the Brian Boru. Gary, the most...senior staff member we dealt with, has a lot to learn in customer relations, as has one of his staff. The simple option of accepting responsibility and offering an apology remains the best way to handle things when a staff member fails deplorably to read and handle a situation. Deeply disappointing experience, management need to take a long hard look at how junior - and indeed senior - staff are trained and monitored.More

Myself and my daughter were here today for lunch. Staff were great, food was fab and lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our afternoon. Thank you

They gave us a drink outside the pub at the barrels and then after a table became available they gave it to somebody else who came after us and then he said he will not serve us anymore there just because we parked outside and...maybe because we are Romanians . We are parking there all the time and we are getting meals fro Yerros and Mizonni Pizza . We only orders non alcoholic beer and as I said he refused to serve us just because the way we look .More

We’ve visited the Brian boru since the lock down lifted and they have done an excellent job keeping everyone safe and being mindful. Staff lovely and the foods been great. So sad to see another 3 week step out of indoor dining. Hope the pubs...gets the custom it deserves for the effort put in. Recommend for a casual meal and drinks.More

My parents visited your establishment today for dinner. To say they were disappointed, is an understatement. Chicken curry, the portion was very inadequate, the chicken seemed of very low quality and the chips were not edible all for €17. My dad had a steak sandwich,...the size of the ciabatta was very small, the steak pieces had more fat than meat and it barely covered the bread and the bottom of the bread was overdone and not edible nor were the chips (€16.50). This is not acceptable. People will not hesitate to pay for quailty food however in this instance,the quality of the food did not justify the cost at all.More

I have now been here 3 times since it reopened after the Covid closure. The menu has changed. There's now pizza which I can never remember them having. In total I had 3 dishes. 1. The curry - 15 euro. It's extremely bland and the...portion is quite small. It also seems that the rice at least is microwaved. There's very little chicken in the curry. The dish screams low cost, high profit, which is the business model with the food now it seems. 2. The pulled pork salad. I think it's 13 euro. Small portion. Tastes good but again it's a dish that screams profit. A really skimpy feel to it. 3. The pizza. This is probably the best option portion wise, it's a big dish with plenty of toppings but it's doughy and needs to be cooked more. The food used to be much better here but since Covid they have clearly decided to maximise the profit on the food to make the business viable. That may well be the way of the future but it's very noticeable and a little disappointing.More

This was one of my first meals out with friends post covid and all I can say is I regret it. I booked a table for 3 people but last minute 2 other people arrived (that I was unaware of until they arrived). I thought...it might not be a problem however I was absolutely wrong. The manager came out and publicly shamed me for having too many people - I was so embarrassed... This is everyone's first pandemic so we are all learning (not to mention the social anxiety that goes with it!) but you would swear I was after murdering someone! My 2 friends had to leave (completely mortified) and just as they left the manager came back and said they had a table for 5...Probably afraid to lose the business!! My friends were too embarrassed to come back so I quickly ate my bland curry and left. 30 minutes and everyone had a horrible time. I understand people are stressed but there is no need for that type of people management. Will never go back.More
