    Must Try Their Steak on the Stone!!!

    After seeing great reviews from TripAdvisor, we use google map to locate this restaurant. It was initially rather awkward when we first walked in. We are so used to waiting to get seated but this wasn’t the case for Ireland pub restaurant. After we realized...More

    Worth a visit

    It's worth making your way to this pub. We had dinner there and the food is delicious. Fish'n chips cooked to perfection and Irish Stew chock full of flavour. Try the 60 knotts Galway Hooker for your drink.

    Little treasure found

    Was in the Lotts this evening for a meal. Have to say never had an experience like it. Service was first class, food was beautiful without a flaw. Definitely a hidden treasure at the end of the Ha’penny bridge. Thanks folks will definitely be back.

    Description
    Voted the NO 1 Bar by Trip Advisors in Jan 2016 !!!! The Lotts consists of a lounge and a bar. The lounge is modern with mosaic tiled ceilings and floors and beautiful chandeliers, where the bar is a rustic old style Irish snug bar ( Also the smallest bar in Dublin ) The Lotts Lounge is extremely popular for food from traditional Irish breakfast served all day up to our most popular dish, - Our Steak on the stone. We offer one of the best deals in Dublin with 2 Sirloin steaks with any sides plus a bottle of our wine of the month for only €45. This deal is also on special Sunday-Wednesday for only €35 served with side salad ( extra sides only €3 Each ) Reservations are Essential at weekends and busy days in the city / recommended for other days to avoid disappointment
