Dublin's most famous pub, certainly in a literary sense, with its Joycean associations. Always classy and fashionable. It's the original Dublin gastropub at over 100 years old.Anybody who is familiar with Dublin pub food will be aware of Davy Byrne’s food reputation, in which seafood is the speciality.If you visit the premises at lunchtime and evening time, you will witness the huge trade which is done in fresh Seafood, Wagyu Burgers and pub classics like Fish & Chips. There is also a full range of Salads and Sandwiches to compliment these and, as often as not, you can enjoy Oysters and Guinness.The classic Gorgonzola sandwich with a glass of Burgundy as mentioned in Ulysses is available every day.Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate strollers/buggies indoors at Davy Byrnes but subject to availability, we can at our outside terraced area. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Food was excellent, very reasonably priced, quick and polite service, and a really lovely setting. Rated it moderate for noise but I never struggled to hear my companion, it's just a small space so it gets boisterous! Would highly recommend for a date night or a special occasion with a small group of friends.

    The food was absolutely to die for and the whole experience was lovely! I got the ham hock to start (it was so beautiful and rich) my partner got the chicken terrine (I had to try a little bit and safe to say it was delicious) we both had the duck leg for main. It was delicious, super flavorful and the mash at the bottom soaked up all the jus from the duck, absolutely Devine. We shared a sticky toffee for dessert, and it was super tasty but for me the best but was the candied almonds that came with the ice cream at the bottom. Over all super lovely experience and I can't wait to come back again.
