Dublin Hot Spots: Bar / Restaurant

The Tolka House.

The Tolka House in Glasnevin, positioned next to the National Botanic Gardens, is not only a great venue for a few drinks, watching your favorite sports events, and on selected Fridays live bands! But it is also a great place for food and has a carvery Mon-Fri. 12 - 3pm and has an A La Carte Menu (sample of menu) available every day from 5pm till 10pm.except Sundays.

The food is very reasonable and has something to suit every ones taste!

The food is very tasty and well presented, and served by an enthusiastic staff that go out of their way to help cater to your needs.

The Pub & Carvery is very popular with older folk as it is so reasonable and caters very well for them and it usually has a very steady flow of people at lunch times! The weekends and Sundays especially are very popular especially since you can visit the Botanic Gardens for a nice stroll and then have lunch or dinner from the carvery.

They also do deals on Mid Week match specials

where you can watch your favorite team on the big screen while you have a pint and a carvery dinner

Covered Smoking Area.

The Pub also has a very good covered Smoking Area with heaters and a TV screen, and during the summer months they usually offer a BBQ in this covered area for all the best in BBQ meals.

Live Tribute Bands on Selected Friday Nights.

The Live music nights are very popular at the Tolka, and pack people in because the calibre of the bands is very good. No matter what your taste in music the atmosphere on these nights is so energetic that everyone enjoys themselves and there is a real 'Feel Good' factor at them. I was at one of these nights recently where the band was a David Bowie tribute band called Rebel Rebel. Really great to see a tribute band play real instruments for a change and sound great and get the crowd going!
