The Dublin Pub - Springfield

We had a lovely time. All 5 of us got something different and everything was great. We had a young man as server. He did a great job.

The ponyshoes were excellent. We started with appetizers of fried pickles, cheese curds, and fried mushrooms, all of which were delicious.

However, our most recent visit on 2/26/2024 was disappointing. The service was still good, but unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of the evening. My wife ordered chicken noodle soup and a salad, but the soup resembled more of a chicken and dumplings dish, lacked flavor, and was barely warm. She couldn't finish it. I opted for the corned beef and cabbage, which was also lacking in flavor, with tough corned beef and a watery dish due to undrained cabbage. To make matters worse, there was an incredibly loud bartender, accompanied by a similarly loud intoxicated man at the bar, as well as a couple with loud voices who were constantly cackling. The noise level made it difficult for us to have a conversation as we were seated near the bar. We have decided not to return to Dublin Pub anytime soon. Our rating for the evening: 4 stars for service, 1 star for food and atmosphere.

I had forgotten how much I adored this restaurant. It has a cozy, neighborhood vibe. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The server was fantastic and provided excellent recommendations. And the food, oh the food was amazing! I give it five stars across the board!

Love this place. Love the food. But they can be a bit pricey.
