I travel a lot as part of my job. This has to be the most beautifully designed Pub with impeccable details on keeping it true to the Irish culture I've ever seen. Being Irish myself I don't like when people use the Irish name and culture and then get it wrong. In this case they've got it perfect. I talked to the manager and found out the whole pub was designed by an Irish business that is ran by a father and son. They go to the location and then design everything from the ground up. Build it in Ireland and then take it apart. Ship it to the location (in this case The Auld Dubliner) and the rebuild it. Absolutely astonishing work has been done to make this bar aesthetically appealing in every way. The drinks and food menu are fantastic. Food is quick to your table as it seems they have thought of every process so the customer does not have to wait. Most staff seem to be Irish which is a rare thing in Irish bars these days. This is due to the fact businessman just open an Irish Pub to use the culture to make money. In this case it is pure Irish. Right down to the drawings on the walls of famous photos from Irish culture. The bathrooms and whole bar seems to be kept spotless with constant cleaning when customers have finished their food or drinks. Just watching the staff and the way the place is run is a joy to the Irish ways as hard working folk. I will definitely recommend The Auld Dubliner to anyone who actually wants to experience a real Irish Pub.

We were 7 costumers. They had not enough place for all of us at one table. So we had to split. While the other table ordered the food, we got ignored twice (after the other ordered and after the other got their drinks). Then we had to asked 3 times (!) if they could come to take our order. The bar wasn't packed, since it was only late afternoon. Also no apologies for the waiting time. The other half of the group already finished eating, when we got our drinks. The prices are rediculous: 9,- for a beer! The food was very expensive too. They only take card payments, no cash. First time I 've heard that. When I asked why, the staff did not know why. The food was tasty. But the hotdogs were small (12,- for 1). Luckily we got the thursday deal, were you get two for the price of one, which I think would be a reasonable price for the quality you get. I won't come here again and I won't recommend this place.

They haven’t improved. I am very much done with this place. Food: The food quality has slipped and now matches equally the poor service. If you ever watched Gordon Ramsey take apart the places serving fried frozen food and canned goods, well this is it. Drinks: It’s an Irish pub if they can ever actually get your beer to your table this is pretty hard to mess up. Ambiance: It’s definitely got the craic. There is a lovely little stage down stairs and live music. There are lots of corners and places to sit and take it all in. Service: The servers are all super nice and friendly, however, months later they are still trying very hard to figure things out and still very much struggling.

Come for drinks, not for food! We came on a Sunday, arrived at 10:30, ordered 3 of the Irish Full Breakfast (sausages, bacon, etc) and it took one hour to be served, without any explanations. There was only 3 tables when we arrived. And just before being served, a guy from another table complained, then they brought three plates, but diverted one to the guy who complained and took another 10 minutes for our table to receive the third plate. Also the food wasn't good, bland beans, uncooked rosti.

1 yorkshire pud, 2 roast potatoes and 3 strangs of asparagus are not quite what we expected with a sunday roast for 35fr, although to be fair, the picture of the meal on the website looks about right. One of us had a full irish breakfast with pretty raw sausages. But, the rest was delicious, the dessert was a dream, the staff really friendly and the pub is beautiful. Hence, the 4 stars
