What User likes about The Briar Rose:
I booked an area in the Jazz Cafe for my and everyone in my group had a great time. We were very well looked after and the staff were very friendly helpful. We also ordered finger food which went down a treat. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Briar Rose:
Went here a couple of weeks ago. Always been a great bar have been here many times over the last few years but the last time I was here we had ordered food for the table. After about an hour and a half we called one of the waitresses over to ask why we had not gotten our food to which she replied “yeah that happens sometimes” However I’ll still be back View all feedback.

Friendly service beautiful ambiente and great eating.

Great night in the briar rose with me, fiancée and co for our engagement party.

Nice place for food drink, the Thursday night quiz is great craic. Service can be slow though, could do with more waiting staff.

First time here. Food was good really liked the salad. Staff was friendly and super quick. Overall a very solid experience.

The first time here. eating was good, the salat really liked. the staff was friendly and super fast. overall a very solid experience.

The Briar Rose presents a classic pub dining experience marked by generous portions and delicious food. However, the overall ambiance often falls short, lacking vibrancy and warmth. Patrons have noted inconsistent service, with some staff displaying unprofessional behavior that detracts from the dining experience. Despite these issues, a few positive interactions with staff, particularly a newly appointed manager, highlight the potential for improvement. The lively atmosphere during quiz nights and events showcases the venue's charm, making it a potential favorite for regulars despite the service hiccups. Overall, The Briar Rose remains a place of contrasting experiences.

Delicious food and friendly service. We had to wait a while for dessert, but that wasn't a problem. The mood was good and fun.
