TripadvisorThe Strand was our home away from home. We were in Dublin for two nights, and came here twice during that time for the delicious food and lovely chats with Victor. Wonderful service and memories made.

GoogleWonderful pub with friendly staff & good food. Stopped in for an early weeknight dinner before our flight back home. Dave- the Barman was friendly and provided excellent service. I had the steak. It was the best tasting meal I had our whole stay in Ireland. Definitely worth a visit.

GoogleThe Strand was an absolute pleasure as always. We arrived around 30 minutes after opening and immediately we were greeted by staff. They bring us to a nice table upstairs and explained the menu. The food was amazing and the pork belly is to die for! The staff were so helpful and kind that we ended up tipping 25% instead of our usual 20% just to show our gratitude. We will DEFINITELY be coming back. A massive thank you to our waiter and waitress Natalia and Victor.

GoogleBeen here a few times and it’s always been a good spot, but they seem to have changed their menu recently and the food is fabulous! Highly recommend the chicken bechamel croquettes in particular! Hats off to the chef, and the staff were very friendly and professional too. Special thanks to Dave this evening.
