Can’t think of anything better on Sunday's than having some Guinness served by Michelle!! New weekly occurrence as long as she’s there!

We go to Dublin all the time for the amazing food, insane deals and great hospitality! Michelle the waitress is the best, she always goes above and beyond! Hopefully we keep getting her on Football Sundays. Our favourite spot and server!

There's definitely a lot of TVs. Service is friendly but bumbling. Food is exactly ok. Beer selection is also exactly ok. Extra points for being a trivia spot though.

Love this pub! It feels like home and there is some good fare here. It was nice going with friends and being around such an unique atmosphere. I would definitely go back again and bring my friends.

A reliable local spot. Decent happy hour prices and always great Guinness prices. Can be a bit loud though - not always the best place to talk.

Too overbooked, paid cover even with reservations. Didnt let us in until 8:30! missed the first inning of the game world series
We had reservations for 4:45. The could not find my name on their system. The service was real slow. Not enough waiters during busy times. The waiter was forced me to cash out early and I did not get a receipt of what we brought. They said we can have the table till 7:30pm but we're forced out by 6:00pm. I got an email a day before at my reservation at 5pm asking if I will be staying for the Jays game. I said yes but not sure why we had to leave early. Only good thing was happy hour. The rest was a terrible experience. We went to another bar. Google reviews for this place are not great.
Extremely rude server. Infact selectively rude cause was super nice to others even without us doing anything. Food on the other hand was fire tho. Place could work with some cleanliness tho

Everything here was pretty decent. We had the nachos, a Guiness and Strongbow. Everything was expected.

Erica, our server, was amazing! It was Game 2 of the World Series, the place was packed, and she still did an excellent job especially for her first day. Our orders came out super fast!

Regardless of your reservation, you are likely to get charged for a random "special event". We went to see UFC and I reserved a table on Opentable (for free). They charged us at the door, saying the event is paid. Not the first interaction like this. A friend had an experience where this place charged for a "soccer viewing party". Beware. Service is mediocre, and you have to hound down the waitress to refill your pint.
I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for years, and I can honestly say the hostess here gave the worst welcome I’ve ever experienced. She was extremely rude from the moment we arrived. We had a reservation at Dublin Calling, but were unexpectedly told we’d be seated upstairs at Rock ’n Horse. When we tried to ask questions about the change, she repeatedly cut me off mid-sentence.
When my friend politely asked if we could move to a table with a better view of the TV for the Jays game, she actually said, “The answer is no, don’t ask me anything again.” I was shocked. We ended up speaking with the manager, who was incredibly kind and accommodating, he immediately said we could move and even sent over a round of drinks to make up for the situation.
Unfortunately, the hostess then came back to our table upset that we’d spoken to him, which made things even more uncomfortable. The manager was the only saving grace of the night, and the reason we didn’t just leave.
Overall, if you’re planning to go here for a big game night, double-check your reservation and make sure you’re not suddenly sent upstairs. The service at the door completely ruined what could have been a great experience.

Went here for game 7 vs Seattle. Had a great experience. Was packed. Everything you want from a sports bar. Food did take a little too long to come out tho, but our waitress was fantastic and the management actually gave us a few drinks on the house to make up for how long the food took. Will definitely return.
The service here was super poor. The host at the door did not smile one time during our interaction and the bartender the same. Not a welcoming environment whatsoever.

The best and most affordable Guinness in the city. Consistent pours for a place outside of Ireland. The vibe is more college bar/sports bar but still a good vibe and good service. Food menu needs to add some curry sauce and chips to make it a 5 star spot.
