Cocktails are a rip off. Not every cocktail Is the same measure so don’t serve them as they are but in different glasses with breeze blocks of ice. Cocktails should be different measures. Food, service and surroundings on the other hand was amazing.

Booked krewe north as was going to dublin for the night and it was my sister birthday. Had to call to see if time could be changed as was running late with traffic getting around dublin this was not a problem spoke to a lovely fella who just changed time no issue. We arrived and it was buzzing get vibes. Down stairs was full got seat up stairs. Have to say it was just lovely. Great atmosphere lovely painting on walls and saying just great vibes. The staff so friendly each and everyone of them. The food was excellent and the fast serves and food hot when served. Their own hot sauce yum yum. The desert were fab and they brought my sisters with a candle and sang happy birthday it was just fab. Can’t say a bad thing about this place 1 st time and will be going back when every in dublin. Highly recommend 10/10. The place was buzzing and it’s was loud but we could hear each other talk and not what the people on table next to us were talking about.
