A little history to start with! On the north bank of the Liffey, Dublin Woollen Mills is an iconic Dublin building that was home to a famous garment factory from 1888 to 2012. Bringing this vast historic building back to life was a real challenge, and one that has been successfully met by a restaurant that has seen things through: four floors and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Liffey and the Ha'penny Bridge. This gastro-pub, which describes itself as a friendly "eating house" that prepares everything on the spot, is a real find.

Ce n'est pas un resto gastronomique mais les plats sont bons et les portions correctes.
On the north side of the Liffey, just at the Ha'penny Bridge, this place is a gem. The menu isn't huge, but it is amazing.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food.... Out of this world!
The Striploin Steak was amazing, with the crispiest of crispy, hand cut chips, and some kind of dark & sticky sauce. BBQ Mackrell starter was banging, and the Wooly Wings really hit the spot. Some really tasty red wine, and no-alco cocktails.
It is a bit on the expensive side - 1 starter, 2 mains (one of which was the steak), 2 glasses of amazing red wine, an alco-free cocktail and a 10% service charge came in at just over €100 - but worth every penny!!
Definitely recommend.
