Very responsive and welcome staff. From 23:30 and at night, people sleep on the couchs of this institution and no one's gonna do it! This is unbelievable for Europe. In most countries in Europe, I'm sorry for the straight, but you can't go pee for free, you're gonna get beat up, not just like that, but it's expensive, but it's just here, and it's all gone, and it's not even booked in a café. That's the service! Thank you so much! Personally, I did order to land on this house, so while I went to the bathroom, the bartender looked after my things! This attitude isn't just respect, it's like you're home among your family and people close to you. Unbelievable! Thank you! In love with Dublin, Ireland!

Food is OK, €15 for a few scrambled eggs, black pudding, mushrooms, toast, one rasher and coffee is a bit much but this is Ireland 2023. Plenty of seats but the padded chairs are very worn, grotty and should be replaced.

The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Starting from 11:30 PM, people sleep on the couches of this establishment and no one kicks them out! This is unbelievable for Europe. In most European countries, sorry for being blunt, but you can't even go pee for free, everywhere you'll be charged and not just a little, but a lot, and here people just come and sleep, without even ordering anything in the café. Now that's service! Thank you so much! Personally, I still ordered something just to hang out at this place, and while I was in the bathroom, the bartender watched over my belongings! This kind of treatment doesn't just earn respect, it gives you the feeling that you are at home among your loved ones. Unbelievable! Thank you! I've fallen in love with Dublin, with Ireland!

The staff at this restaurant are very friendly and attentive. It is amazing that people are allowed to sleep on the couches starting from 11:30 pm, which is uncommon in Europe. In most European countries, you have to pay for everything, even to use the bathroom. However, here people can come in and sleep without ordering anything. The bartender even kept an eye on my belongings while I was in the bathroom. This level of service and care truly made me feel at home and loved. I fell in love with Dublin and Ireland because of this wonderful experience. Thank you!
