The Tolka House

A great local pub with comfortable seating, lively crowd and friendly waiting staff. The pub backs onto the Botanic Gardens so we'd recommend you take a stroll and then go for a (perfect) pint.

We each had a half portion from the carvery. The food was excellent as usual. The half portion was excellent value for a substantial plate of food. The pub was clean with good space to get a table and eat in comfort. I would definitley recommend the carvery here and look forward to stopping in there again.

The sunday carvery is quite nice. The meat is good, and the vegetables were tasty. A bit pricey, but worth it for a Sunday meal.

Atmosphere is good on friday evening especially when the band comes on later in the evening. I have ate a few things from the menu and overall it isnt that great for the money your paying. I have recieved soup that was too cold had to send it back to be heated in the microwave. The brown bread is cheap bread bought in. The pasta can be overwelmed in the cream sauce. The chips are good though. My other half had the steak and didnt think it was great. Overall good bar not great for food should revamp the menu and bring in some proper homemade cooking not bought in grub!

The food was nice service was ok but just too over priced especially for pub grub. 15.95 for scampi and chips which was nice but is too expensive given that alot of restaurants around are doing early bird two or 3 course for couple euro more. Also one of my kids decided she wanted pasta with no sauce...which they done but charged 5 Euro for it Robbery...wont be back!
