Bogdan TheoMarch 20, 2013An old church turned in to an amazing restaurant with great food and at night the bar turns in to a club. Amazing.It's worth trying when in Dublin.Patrick the young Irish bartender was very kind to usUpvoted Jan 14- Jack FOctober 20, 2012Free WiFi, free tea or coffe with a meal when you check in! Food is good something a little different. Overal great place and a nice retreat from the madness of Henry st. Drink it up, get it in to ya.
- Very unique location with great live music and great food options. The outside area in very spacious and heated, the basement double up as the club after a certain time. Highly recommended!
Lasse HoffmannMarch 2, 2018Lively bar & resturant in a converted church. Go for one of the set menus on "The Gallery" and joy both food & sights.
Nicole MillsOctober 4, 2022Great place for dinner, drinks and Irish music and dancing. Open late. Best to book a slot for dinner, as it’s very popular.
- Christiane LinkJune 18, 20185* restaurant in an amazing location, an old church. We had steaks and everything was just perfectly cooked. Service was amazing too. Highly recommended!
Наталья ПрекраснаяAugust 6, 2017Restaurant in a church! Isn't crazy?! 😜 I loved the foods there. Music was nice and atmosphere was amazing. Must go!
The atmosphere is nice, and also they have Irish music and Irish dancers as well. I went 2 days in a row and was great. The service was quite slow the second day.
Daniel KengenMarch 17, 2017Lunch was nice and affordable. Had a beer tasting tray, very nice. Good place to sit outside, but the interior is also beautiful
- Lasse HoffmannFebruary 25, 2018Great food, go for the set menus at the Gallery. Tad bit noisy, but lively athmosphere. Staff could have been more responsive, took quite a while to the check, which was wrong as well.
Arianna TrakakiAugust 11, 2019The decoration is spectacular, the food didn’t blow us out of our minds but still worth it.
Lívia de LizJuly 12, 2015It's a great pub to go if you're in Dublin! The history behind the pub is really interesting and they have a good selection of beers. Try it.- Liam O HannrachainDecember 6, 2018An old converted church with the organ still intact. Incredible looking venue with great food and drinks to enjoy all night. Tip: Start your evening here rather than ending it here.

Juliana Aristizábal GutiérrezApril 14, 2019The bar had great ambiance and a live DJ. The food upstairs in yhe restaurant was amazing and the service was great. The place is beautiful!!
prince of ArroganceJanuary 6, 2018Only stayed for lunch. I had the fish and chips, great fish, I would say the chips needed to be chunkier. It looks like a cool place to go at night.
Zingo AndersenApril 8, 2015The lamb is a "must have" we where a bit in a hurry and the service personel/kitchen was really helpful tom make it a fast but not stressfull visit, great service!
Cheen The CuriousJune 17, 2013Beer on tap: Prices range fr €5.20 to €6.10 for a pint. My Guinness was €5.20. The list incl: Stella, Hoegaarden, Beck's, Leffe, Bulmers, Caledonio Smooth, Franziskaner, O'hara's
Adrien AssiéDecember 30, 2014The place is absolutely beautiful. A huge church restored with class to a pub/restaurant. With some quite nice live music and Irish dancing!
James ReganOctober 6, 2018Amazing food in a biblical atmosphere. Had communion black pudding and was blessed with a lamb pie. Confessed over a creme brulee.
Elien Van VossoleMarch 26, 2022Must dooooo!!! Really nice surrounding! Reservation is a must! Gin tonic tray was nice! Live music and dancing!
Peter GxAugust 12, 2018Atmosphere at night is wonderfull especially with the live music and dance shows
Jessica MathyApril 4, 2023The place and atmosphere are amazing with live concerts and nice cocktails selection. Food is OK, nothing spectacular... Little pricy for what you eat.
José Miguel HorcasOctober 9, 2015Expensive but a little less than in Temple Bar. It's a must in Dublin. There is strawberry and lime flavored Bulmer cider.
Jannis Andrija SchnitzerFebruary 16, 2017Great idea, I thought, put a pub into an old church. But poorly put in practice. The bar is bloaty and not very pretty, the staff very eager but not very helpful, the worst coffee I had in all Dublin.
Kevin SchmidtSeptember 22, 2012Great location, good music, normal prices for Dublin, definitely worth a visit. Reservation recommended for the restaurant in the evening.
Adnan DublinJune 6, 2013If there is one place in the city center you should be spending your sunny day it's The Church, great food, service and venue.
Roberts VolfmanisJanuary 25, 2015Never ask to many questions, just enjoy, and be gentlemen, one of my personal best drinks whisky bush mil and black label !!
Anastasia CampionJanuary 29, 2012Ask for the bartender Andy and his special award wining Jameson and ginger cocktail! It's not on the menu but one of the best cocktails I have ever tasted!
Özlem YükselMarch 12, 2016Tastes are wonderful. The brown soda bread is also wonderful. I recommend this restaurant.
Jimena LozanoMarch 22, 2017Great place to be....have a guiness in a church! The Bailey's cheesecake is very nice!
Ben EngenSeptember 6, 2022This is an actual church converted into a bar and restaurant. It's definitely a tourist trap and the food is average, but I do think it's worth going maybe just for a drink to see it.
Dilek UnarAugust 31, 2014Great design, great atmosphere with live music downstairs. Also, dinner menu seems nice.
Knut-Olav HovenMarch 20, 2016Great food. Cozy. Good value when having the early bird menu. Good show and music.
Joey JAugust 5, 2016Good for drinks. Seems like an after work happy hour spot. Had intentions to have dinner here, but decided not to based on the bar/club environment.- Gary ChowMay 10, 2014Good service and atmosphere! Highly recommend for a different venue to have some drinks and dinner
Irmak Yarar GoughFebruary 18, 2017The cod with pistachios was delicious. The apple pie is to die for!
Anna MontgomeryMarch 10, 2015Irish coffee is pretty great! Best Margarita! Live music is wonderful! Food is hit & miss.
RoniqFebruary 20, 2014The soup of the day is always great! Just unlocked a special offer and got free coffee :)
AlisonAugust 16, 2011Great place when visiting Dublin, upstairs, inside, outside or in the crypt - great atmosphere and cocktails!
eDreamsAugust 10, 2011Great place for lunch, dinner or simply a pint after work. Check out the basement - there's a nightclub with free entrance there!
Monika ZelinkováJune 28, 2015The atmosphere is great, lovely drinks, handsome bartenders ;) worth a visits!
Nick van MierloOctober 3, 2015Very Nice atmosphere. Food is good, but a bit pricy. Would definitely recommend for drinks though!

"The cause of much controversy and one of Dublin's perpetual debates. The Spire is a focal point for the city centre. Personally, I'm a fan. The Spire is elegant, huge and not too intrusive. Love it!"
