About

Flanagan’s Bar & Restaurant on O’Connell Street in Dublin – often simply “Flanagan’s” in local parlance – delivers a thoroughly engaging dining experience rooted in Irish tradition yet accessible for visitors and locals alike. From arrival to the final sip of coffee, the restaurant blends warmth with reliable competence.

Stepping inside, the décor strikes a pleasing balance: a Deco-inspired main dining room offers elegant simplicity, and large windows facing the street animate the space with passing life. Outdoor seating adds that extra dimension—great for people-watching on O’Connell Street. OpenTable+2Flanagan's Bar & Restaurant+2 The ambience is relaxed but purposeful, with a steady hum of conversation rather than forced hushed tones.

The Flanagan’s menu leans on classic Irish and comfort-food traditions: steak, burgers, fish and chips, hearty stews and breakfast fare that locals and visitors alike will recognise.  Presentation is honest rather than flashy — portions are generous, plates are clean, and attention to plating is solid. Standouts include a well-executed mussels starter and a solid sirloin, both praised in earlier reviews. The drinks list is sufficiently varied — a modest wine selection, Irish beers, and cocktails — enough to complement the food without overshadowing it. In a few instances reports mention occasional inconsistencies (for example, reliance on frozen chips on a particular evening) — a reminder that even dependable spots may have off days.

Service throughout was attentive and friendly. Staff struck a good balance: they were approachable, willing to make suggestions, and responsive without hovering. Requests for clarification or adjustment met prompt and courteous responses.

As for value, Flanagan’s presents good proportions at fair Dublin prices. The restaurant is explicitly marketed as “€30 and under” for many dishes. You may find finer dining elsewhere, but what you get here — in food, hospitality and setting — makes for a satisfying meal without surprise.

In sum, Flanagan’s Bar & Restaurant remains a strong example of dependable, convivial Irish dining. If your priorities are solid cooking, convivial service, and a lively yet welcoming ambience, it’s a choice worth making when exploring Dublin’s dining scene.
