About Kilmainham Inn
On the historic Old Kilmainham stretch, the Kilmainham Inn is a beloved pub-restaurant blending centuries-old charm with reliable gastropub eats. Overlooking the area's Georgian terraces, it's a 4+ rated haven for those touring Kilmainham Gaol or the vast Phoenix Park. The low-beamed ceilings, turf fires crackling, and live trad sessions create that quintessential Irish atmosphere, drawing locals and visitors alike to one of Kilmainham's best restaurants.
What to Expect
Gastropub staples: seafood chowder thick with prawns, shepherd's pie topped with fluffy mash, and grilled sea bass with herb butter. Extensive veggie options like stuffed portobello mushrooms. Mid-range, with early bird deals (€18 two courses). Pints flow freely, Guinness or Magners cider recommended.
Insider Tips
Sidling up to the bar during trad music (Wednesdays) feels magical. Beer garden's prime for summer BBQs. Kids' play area outside. My tip: the pork belly, crispy crackling perfection. Easy Luas access from city centre; pair with a park jog. Authentic Kilmainham hospitality awaits.
