What User likes about O'connell's:
Fantastic food and drinks. My husband and I spent our wedding anniversary in Ireland and had dinner in this pub. A nice table near the fireplace, great food and very attentive staff what more can you ask for. We had a great time after doing the cliff walk in December on a soft day View all feedback. What User doesn't like about O'connell's:

O'Connell's in Howth offers a mixed dining experience, with some diners feeling rushed while others feel right at home. The seafood dishes are a standout, though some feel that the lack of tobacco options is a misstep. Despite some negative reviews highlighting cold soup and poor service, others rave about the beef and Guinness pie and friendly staff. With stunning harbor views and wheelchair accessibility, O'Connell's is a popular spot with delicious food, efficient service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the area, make sure to book ahead to secure a spot at this lovely pub.

The chowder brown brot was delicious with an accompanying creamy pint of guinness in this popular Howth location

Good food and good place, but mozas treat you a little with food

Had a?burger here. Taste was average and looked very weird. Staff was friendly, yet needed to call them to our table every time even though it wasn’t busy.

Great place once you get to understand how to order from their app
