5 stars for the staff, food, drinks!

5 stars for the staff, food, drinks, cleanliness, location and overall experience. Hotel boasts luxurious decor that makes up for it smaller size. The bartender Daniel was more than accommodating, and always had a positive attitude.

Just an outstanding experience!

Just an outstanding experience! Pre show dinner and the risotto scallops and lamb burger were both scrumptious. Our waitress was very gracious and attentive. I don’t remember her name but she has a charming Irish accent!

We really loved this place. We were in town for work/fun and we walked by this place and at random decided to stop in. First of all Jennifer our waitress did an awesome job of showing us the ropes and taking great care of us. She gets a 5 star for her attitude and her service. The food also gets a 5 star it was very tasty and hit the spot.

We had a wonderful experience at Public House in the Merrion Row Hotel. The food was very good—my lobster ravioli was delicious, and my niece really enjoyed her steak. The service was truly outstanding.
