    Amazing food and outstanding drinks. The cocktails especially the spicy margaritas are to die for. The staff however are quite rude. Upon my arrival I spoke with one man who kept telling me he was not the host so he cannot speak with me. This was quite off putting as I was meeting a friend who had already checked in with said host.. he was most unhelpful dismissive and to be honest very rude! Other than that I had a fab night

    Excellent food and drink at drury buildings, there always is. Lovely atmosphere too. Only issue the service, it was a bit disjointed. The wait time for our food was fine, but we had to ask again for the last two dishes to be brought out. For dessert, we were waiting a long time and again had to remind the waiter for our last dessert. In general we went for long periods without our waiter coming to check if we needed anything, we probably would have ordered more drinks if we had been attended to more often. Drinks came quickly enough once ordered. The service was friendly however and any issues were minor, especially when compared to the good quality of the food and drink. The arancini and truffle mayonnaise was particularly nice.

    Nice food, good service but we had thought we booked indoor seating and we where put sitting in the back area with the outdoor heaters. It was freezing, would have stayed longer for more drinks if not so cold.

    Was a wonderful place to book and eat. Menu is a tapas style and we were given a taster of the red wine before ordering a bottle of wine. Portion size was great. I would highly recommend Drurys building. Super chill and a very happy staff. I will be back again with friends again.

    From the second we arrived and explained we had only 90 mins we were looked after promptly yet extremely well. Lots of gorgeous boards and dishes, beautiful wine and service with a great big smile. Each person in the party said they will definitely be back!

    We had.a very enjoyable girls lunch in the Drury Buildings. It was my first time there and I will definitely be back. Comfortable dining, lovely ambiance, good food, and the best Bloody Mary cocktail I’ve had in Dublin. Good job.
