The Irish Pub Guide

Everybody loves a carvery dinner on a Sunday and the pubs of Dublin are known to offer some of the very best around.

It’s not always easy to find your local carvery but we’ve picked out some of the best ones that we know about so you can fill your belly next time you have the urge for a good Sunday roast.

There are of course more than the ones we have listed so make sure to comment where else people should try.

Fagan’s – Drumcondra

A famous pub on Dublin’s northside where a carvery dinner is their staple, usually packed on a Sunday when locals pack in for the delicious servings of meat, potatoes and veg.

But it’s not only on Sundays when it’s served, it’s open seven days a week from midday.

The Grange – Deansgrange

Out towards Blackrock, The Grange pub is another where you can get yourself a lovely, heartwarming carvery dinner seven days a week.

An award-winning quality of food, you can give it a try from midday until 3:30pm on Monday through to Saturday with the hours extended to 5pm on a Sunday.

57 The Headline – Clanbrassil Street

We include this one with an unfortunate note that in September, 57 the Headline may no longer exist in its current state – they are likely to be moving to a new area with nothing confirmed yet.

But, if you’re dying for a Sunday roast in August, get yourself down here because it has been lauded as possibly Dublin’s very best.

It’s always in demand and with it soon shuttering for a while, you might want to book on their website right now.

Halfway House – Navan Road

Driving along the Navan Road you’ll always be caught by the eye-catching Halfway House that always looks busy.

And that’s because as well as their great bar that locals flock to, they also have a carvery service seven days a week.

The bar and restaurant has one of the more extensive carvery options on this list so make sure to try it for plenty of variety.

Graingers – Hanlon’s Corner

For those on the northside, Graingers is one of the very best options for a great carvery dinner.

You can get yourself a roast seven days a week in this landmark pub which has glowing reviews for its food.

Brady’s – Shankhill

In the heart of Shankhill, Brady’s is frequented by many whether it be for drinks, coffee, a quick bite to eat or a sitdown carvery with the family.

You can give it a try from midday until 2:30pm Monday through to Saturday or midday to 3:30pm on Sundays.

Ollie’s – Sandyford

Ollie’s pub out in Sandyford has food seven days a week but rolls out their carvery offering exclusively for Sundays.

Always a big hit with the locals, it’s well worth visiting if you’re feeling peckish and passing through on a Sunday afternoon.

The Portobello Bar – Portobello

Along South Richmond Street, The Portobello Bar is a nice and central traditional pub where they offer a carvery lunch from Monday to Friday.

The menu of course varies day by day but for less than €15 you can get yourself a top carvery dinner.

The Two Sisters – Terenure

Terenure’s gem The Two Sisters serve top quality food right throughout the week with particular fanfare for their Sunday lunch offering.

Get yourself roast turkey, roast beef or any of the traditional Sunday dinner options in this cosy local pub with a great atmosphere and terrific service.

The Black Forge Inn – Drimnagh

Since opening under Conor McGregor’s ownership, The Black Forge Inn has become known to have one of the best food offerings of any Dublin pub.

And their Sunday lunch menu is really up there, it will cost you a bit more than most of the other options on this list, but we doubt you’ll be disappointed.
