Whitty's At Sandymount

Spacious clean rooms and the staff are very helpful

When we came in 2016 from Canada???????? for a holiday, we'd not gone to too many different places before we decided that Ireland would be a lot of fun it WAS! It all started with the Sandymount Hotel, where the staff and room was awesome! The food at the bar was great too! Comfortable and very clean place. Friendly, informative staff answered all our questions helpfully! Really loved it there! Close to the DART rapid transit too how convenient! Definitely our first choice for accomodations and should be YOURS too! Awesome!

I have eaten here plenty of times. But I finally decided to post a review. I ordered the Battered Cod, with chips. The fish was coated in a light batter and was very fresh. The tartar sauce was made in house and fish was served with a small jug of freshly squeezed lemon juice. The chips were made from potatoes and not your bought in bags of frozen chips. I would highly recommend the food and service here. The waiter that served me was very friendly and professional. Well done to the front of house staff and the kitchen brigade

We dined here twice during our 5 night stay: once on our first night in town, and once on our last night in town. The Line Out Bar is located inside the Sandymount Hotel. We 'd had a long day of travel into Dublin, and neither of us really wanted to try to learn the city with only an hour of daylight left, so that left us with very limited options for dining. The restaurant wasn 't busy on our first night in, so we grabbed a table next to the windows and ordered up our first pints of Guinness. For food, I went with the Beef and Guinness Casserole, and my husband ordered the Bacon, Sausage and Black Pudding Pizza. The casserole was more like a stew, served with beef, carrots and potatoes in a beef gravy, supplemented with mash and a couple pieces of bread. It was hearty and filling to be sure, but I didn 't love the flavor of it. The mash was a bit dry, and the beef was too chewy to be enjoyable. It also had a slight off flavor that I couldn 't place. My husband absolutely loved the pizza, though. They drizzled some kind of sauce he said it tasted like a BBQ sauce over the pizza that he initially didn 't like, but eventually grew on him. It was the first time he 'd had blood sausage on a pizza, and it made a fan out of him. Our second visit, on our last night in town, we were shown to a table towards the back by the same waiter we 'd had on our first visit. For this meal, I 'd been randomly craving chicken wings, so I went with a full portion of their Piri Piri BBQ wings. My husband got the fish chips. We also ordered the last pints of Guinness we 'd have while in Dublin. *sad face* When I asked the waiter how many pieces came in a full order of the wings, he answered vaguely with maybe 12 to 14 . The bowl that he set down in front of me had *significantly* more than 14 wings in it. I tried to count, but lost track after 20. YES, 20! I mean, I was craving wings, but that was out of control. I did like the flavor of the piri piri BBQ sauce, for the first 6 or 8 wings, at least. After that, it got to be a little too sweet, a little too cloying to be enjoyable. The dish was served with celery slices, but not enough to offset the sweetness of the sauce. (The other option was a blood orange sauce, which I think would 've been too overpowering, as well). I plowed through as many wings as I could stomach, and my husband tagged in after eating his fish and chips to help out, but we weren 't able to finish them. They did give us our money 's worth with that meal. By the way the hubs said the fish and chips were delightful. The fish was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We had the same waiter both times we were there. He was nice enough, but kept forgetting to bring the water I 'd requested (on both trips). He did stop to chat with us a bit about living in the United States, as we were paying our last bill. He opened up then, and had a lot of questions about our city and our state, which we happily answered. It 's nice that the hotel has so many dining options (there 's another restaurant that we didn 't get to try, and a breakfast option, as well). It was handy to have something with good food and good beer on tap in the same building as the hotel.
