BANG Dublin

Absolutely amazing restaurant! Had the best seat in the house on opening night watching head chef Jeff absolutely kill it! Every dish was perfection and will be recommending Bang to everyone! Top picks from the menu would be the croquettes, tortilla, stuffed squid and piri piri chicken! Must finish with the basque cheesecake and crème catalana! Well done Eric and Richie!

Like other reviews, I came here to check out the tasting menu and left completely satisfied. The cultured butter was creamy and complimented the Guinness sourdough well. And while I loved each dish, the duck course was a standout. I strongly recommend the tasting menu and the wine pairing with it. My server, Victoria, was wonderful and checked in throughout the meal.

One of my favourite restaurants in Dublin, the service is top notch and talk about the food well behind all great dishes are great chefs so kudos to you guys. Adrea our server for the night was excellent she guided us through everything with the food and drinks. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding reception here soon. See you guys soon :)

Came to Dublin from the shticks for an anniversary dinner with my partner, Adrae our server was amazing ! Food was exquisite. The atmosphere very relaxed! 5 stars. We opted for the tasting menu paired with wines was such an amazing experience we will never forget.

I had a lovely dinner at Bang Restaurant — everything from start to finish was spot on. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the lamb main — full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Special shout out to Nathan and Jade in the kitchen for their incredible work. A fantastic spot for a special evening out. Highly recommend!

One of the best dinner I had so far in Dublin! I want to start from the staff that was incredibly attentive and accommodating, a real gem! Especially our waitress, Virginia: fun, caring and a true host! We opted for the tasting menu of 5 courses for my bf birthday (60€ pp with some starters, 3 main courses and a dessert). Every plate was majestic! They greeted us with a glass of Prosecco and later they let us try a red wine that was perfect for the lamb. My boyfriend can’t eat desserts and they were so kind to replace it with cheese, I really appreciated it! If you have a special occasion or just want a great dinner, go to BANG!

To be honest, it's been a long time since we found a place that was so welcoming, both in terms of the atmosphere and the staff and the food. Thanks to Dominik for making our evening so enjoyable. It was my friend's birthday and she was delighted with everything. The food was delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Virginia and Adrae were the most attentive hosts. Excellent service. The food was beautiful and the cocktails delicious. My hasband and I were over the moon with our choice to dine here!

One of the best meals I had in Ireland! The food, ambiance, and service were all top notch. We ordered the brown bread and cured Irish salmon to start. Then we both got the parmesan gnocchi and ended with espresso martinis. Our favorite was the gnocchi which had a soft pillowy texture and some sweetness from the pears. The salmon dish was also tasty too, though a little on the smaller side.

I would say the food was 8/10. However the price was bit over the top . We had a starter and main and dessert, 1 glass of wine ended up in 170€. Supposedly locally source food , fair enough. We were sitting on the upper floor in January where heat was barely on. Profit margin shouldn't be make on heat.

We had such a great meal here, I'm still thinking about it a week later back in California. Every dish was so lovely, but what I can't stop thinking about is the brown Guiness bread! I love making my own soda bread and this recipe was so good. Texture was toothy and the crust was a bit crunchy with a hint of sweet to it. Along with the smoked butter. YUMMY! I had the filet and my husband had the gnocchi. Cocktails were absolutely delicious and the wines by the glass were great to pair (when I'm with someone who isn't drinking). Speaking of which, my non-drinking hubby loved his seedlip N/A G&T). Even better, the service was friendly and efficient. Looks like my daughter is heading to Trinity College, so I think I'll have a chance to return real soon! Bonus: we raved about the bread so much we were sent home with a big hunk and some butter! Made my morning even better the next day!

One of our best meals I. Dublin! Wonderful food and service. We were very fortunate to have a quiet table as it can get a bit energetic. The food from start to finish was truly a surprise. Beautifully presented and very well prepared. Great wine list as well.

A modern restaurant and wine bar located in the restaurant district near the Saint Stephen's Greens. They do take walk-ins but I reserved a table. Walked into the restaurant at around 17:30 and found the waitress chatting with kitchen staff. All tables were available and I was quickly seated. Environment: Wall and ceiling decor as well as table set-up were more classic/Georgian, but seats and cushions had modern vibe. Ample lighting. Music is a bit too loud for me. Service: generally friendly and attentive. Both my waitress and the bar man (?) came to ask about my feelings of the restaurant and the dishes. Drink: Old-Fashioned with Teeling single malt. Standard. A bit on the bitter side. Starter: grilled quail, quail egg, mushroom, and sauces. I was going for the scallop when I browsed the online menu, but apparently they added this dish so I tried it. Three pieces of quail meat (two breast, one tiny leg) was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a vibrant and nutty flavor. Mushroom and two types of sauces (sweet & savory) lifted the dish by adding that wild, outdoor vibe, bringing that forestry feeling to the mouth Entree: venison loin, venison croquette, mushroom, samphire, celery, and black pudding. Another surprising dish as it replaced the pork belly on the online menu, but a pleasant surprise again. Venison grilled to pink (medium rare), slightly charred on the outside, buttery, tender, with that beefy but less fatty bite. Mushrooms, puree, and sauces again did their job well. Another higlight of the dish is the samphire, adding a refreshing, crunchy, and briney seaside taste, adding more complexity to the dish. Croquette tasted good as well. The black pudding is a bit redundant; I am not sure if it is also made of venison ingredients. But overall, a well-thought-out dish. Dessert: Hazelnut and fig parfait, yogurt ice cream, chocolate mousse. Consistent, not too sweet, contrasting and interesting tastes from all ingredients. Overall: 4-4.5 stars. When it comes to the food alone, the place was perfect for me tonight. A meticulously designed menu,creative dishes, not-so-common ingredients, all the garnishes doing their job right, consistent in quality. However, given this is a fine dining restaurant, I would like to lift the threshold and address a few service issues. First, the online menu could be updated more frequently to reflect latest changes. Second, I hope there is a dedicated receptionist at the front so that the waitress need not worry about greeting and leading customers and sending dishes at the same time (I've seen her busy pacing around all night). Third, the music could be toned down, and new selections of music should be considered; given the overall decor, I'd rather have more classical background music than pop and electronic music.

My my. I will choose and type words, but I am at a loss for them. This experience was transformative. Hands down one of the best meals I've ever had in Dublin. In all honesty I had not intended to go to Bang on this evening, but the spot I wanted to go to up the road was closed for holiday. So, I walked up the road and gave Bang a shot. I'm so so glad that I did. I started with some Kelly Gigas oysters and they were so bright and fresh it was incredible. Then scallops with foie gras, asparagus, lime and rice crackers. Super good. Finishing with their stone bass, cheddar dauphin, fennel and buttermilk sauce with mussels Every new bite caused me to pause, place the fork down and live in that moment. I am still shook to this day. I cannot wait to get back to Dublin so I can return to Bang.

Overall, good. I was in the private room for an event. I had a crab appetizer. And the fillet steak for my main, which was good. It was perfectly cooked medium rare and tender. The dessert was the standout. It was a dense dark chocolate (flourless?) cake with ice cream and raspberry. Oh my. Very decadent and the taste was great.

Very good! Very tasty! Amazing service!! Food came out for a group of 40 very quickly and was hot! We all had different meals and they got them correct

This is a review for one of their meal kits that we got during COVID-19 restrictions. We chose the pasta dinner. All v easy to prepare and finish at home but couldn't get it to restaurant standard. Having said that the food was gorgeous especially dessert.

My wife and I came here for our first dinner in Ireland for our honeymoon. We made the reservation several months ago and I still felt the great level of service like I did when I first came to this restaurant 5 years ago. The staff is prompt and helpful and treats you like as if you are a guest in their own home. In fact the one thing that impressed me was 2 days before our dinner reservation, I got a personalized SMS message, confirming our reservation and also thanking us for being the first dinner restaurant of our honeymoon - very impressive. I want to thank Alex personally for the great level of service. We will be back again during our next trip to Dublin.

Very nice restaurant, multiple stories. We were at the top floor with a nice view. Service is efficiently, friendly and knowledgeable. As were in a party, had a 3 course fixed meal - each course was flavorful and unique. I had the carrot salad ... the baby carrots were roasted wonderfully, bringing out its sweet flavor. Fork tender. The lamb was also fork tender, rich, succulent and so, so, so good. The potatoes were whipped to a creamy perfection (though I tend to like rustic, lumpy mashed potatoes). There was a good amount of butter and cream, which made it sumptuous. There were a handful of wonderful, sweet, plump peas. The dessert was a strawberry and vanilla custard which was delightful - light, creamy, playful presentation. It was just the right amount and right amount of sweetness (not overly sweet) to cap a delicious meal.

The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Our server Suzanne was top notch. Would strongly recommend this restaurant.

Was looking for places to eat i Dublin, this restaurant had an great atmosphere and staff. Originally got the Cod (picture) but switched with someone at the table to the Risotto. GET THE COD. The cod had amazing flavor and melted in your mouth. The risotto was ok, it was pretty under seasoned, had to ask for salt and that made it a tiny bit better. The drinks are great as well!

I got a 5 course tasting menu and an extra dessert and everything they served was good, the price was reasonable. Their Eton mess was served with a twist and that's why I had to get that extra dessert knowing that it would be good since the rest of the menu was very good. Would definitely go back again.

My family of 4 (with 13 and 11 yr olds) had dinner here after a long day walking all around the city. We sat outside. The service was friendly and welcoming. Decor was clean and modern. Food was delicious. We loved the irish crab daikon appetizer which was light, fresh and tasty and interesting. Summer veggies were very good. We asked for another order after we finished the first. For entrees, we had the cod, the lamb, the gnocchi and the steak. All were happy with their choices. The playful mozzarella cheesecake was fun. Would definitely recommend.

I had lunch at Bang on a fairly busy Saturday. The menu really is inventive. The restaurant seems to be having the same Covid related staffing issues that other establishments are experiencing. That said, they could not have been nicer and did a very good job under the circumstances. The food is great, the atmosphere for an outdoor place is also good. Tourists can hop on free WiFi from the BOI branch next door to Bang and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food they turn out. This place won't disappoint.

We were greated and looked after very well here. The staff were so nice it is like having your friend tell you all the amazing things on the menu. I got the duck which was a bit tough but served with lovely tender carrots and veg. My boyfriend got the chicken and it was a huge portion! I especially liked the bed of barley and sauce it was served with. Cheese board was delicious but quite expensive for the size of it. I would come here again but with the prices it is a place for a special occasion.

I had a deal voucher for Bang on Merrion Row waiting to be used so decided it was the perfect time for some decent food and wine! The deal was €60 and gave 3 courses for 2 people plus a pichet of wine - bargain! Merrion Row is home to quite a few gems, such as the highly acclaimed Etto.... and I had heard all good comments regarding Bang over the years so had high hopes! Being such a lovely day, the front windows were opened out to let some sun and air filter through the modern upstairs dining area. There is also a downstairs area but I didn't even have a peek down there to get an idea of what it's like! We were on a set menu for the deal, with 3 options for each course. Starters of a soup, salmon or chicken dish, mains of fish, chicken or veggie option and desserts of 2 sweets or a cheese - the perfect menu for us but it was however lacking in any red meat if you were so inclined. I never usually go for the soup... mainly because I make it so much at home and try to have something totally different when I'm eating out. But it was the veggie option and really sounded good so we both chose the White Asparagus Soup for our starter.... and let's just say it kicked ass on my home-made veggie soup! It was gorgeously creamy and sprinkled with toasted almonds and a drizzle of olive oil. For mains we went for the Goat's Cued Gnudi and the Free Range Chicken. If, like me, you had never heard of Gnudi before ... it's a type of gnocchi made from cheese and a little bit of flour. They were light, fluffy and creamy and paired well with the chosen veg. The chicken dish went down well and I did try a little of the potato pave - divine! Although not really required, we ordered a portion of triple cooked chips to share... absolutely fabulous, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside! We took a small break before ordering dessert and decided to forgo the cheese and share the two sweet options. I'm all about the chocolate so didn't think I'd be too enamoured with the Blueberry Posset but I was very pleasantly surprised! Not too sweet and the granola gave a nice bit of texture and crunch. But the star of the show was the Dark Chocolate Bar. Layered up and presented like a stick of KitKat, the presentation was fantastic. And the taste didn't disappoint either, nice and rich and again the crisp layer offering some more texture. With the malt ice cream and the hazlenut, it did manage to defeat me (which doesn't often happen!) and I left some on the plate knowing I'd be wishing for it later that evening. It was definitely one of my most favourite desserts! We left impressed with our meal at Bang, it's the perfect spot for a special meal - and by all accounts keep an eye out on the deals for a bargain!

Don't go here. Went on Saturday evening, had to pay 100 euro deposit to book a table. Staff were unfriendly and pushing us to order food before we got first drinks. Menu offer was over priced. I got the gnocchi which was pan fried for some reason, but rather blackened than fried, 4 -5 pieces max. All extras were charged on top of menu price in a kind of sneaky way, e.g. water for table. We were asked to leave with a bottle of wine still unfinished on table. Price per person 95 euro. Absolute rip off. Left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Will never go here again. Atmosphere was not nice. Staff not nice, vine super snobby but nothing to even get excited about. I know places you can get a 3 course Michelin meal for less money and way nicer ambiance.

We had our 16 days tour farewell dinner. Food were excellent but the service were outstanding. We have a group of 38 people. Fish and lamb cooked to perfection.

I really liked this place! The environment is so cool and the staff is great. They are always asking you if you need something and they pay attention in everything. The food was great! I ordered some starters to share and as main course I had the eyed steak. So good!! I didint order any dessert so I can't give my opinion but they seem to be delicious! Maybe next time if I'm not full.

Statement: for what it's supposed to be, restaurant doesn't come close to high class and expensive food level. To continue, I will state only one good thing about this place: different food choices from apart other competing restaurants. That's all good I can say. Even though, selection of untasted and unseen dishes before, some of them are not delicious at all. Okay, fine, I'll back off here a little bit by agreeing that no one should argue about taste. Then it means that my taste is not as good or their dishes were not as good. My advise is not to go here and try to answer that question yourself. Why? Well, because it's a capital of Ireland and high (posh) class restaurant are something to be able to choose from. My dislikes. ground floor room is mall and too packed. Tables are one by each other. You can here other people's beside you conversations. It's not that I want to hear what are they talking about, but they are right beside you! Can you imagine in a place like this a two person table one feet away from a cash register and right on the walkthrough of the restaurant? I couldn't believe they actually asked us to sit there even restaurant was almost empty. Food. We had tasting menu, which means you get more dishes, but in lesser portions. We tried five courses of which two were bellow mediocre and would never have anything like that ordered again anywhere. Soup was fantastic. Desert was mediocre, tasted way way better ones I'm my life. Main course was meh... Meat was slow cooked and was lovely, but my tongue said no to red wine and guinness sauce. So bitter. Service wasn't best as well. We say one thing, and they then say that we said something slightly different. Even table was booked in in advance with specific menu choice we were asked by two different waiters, what are we having. Everything is quite overpriced. it's so expensive that they have on their menu 100 ml glasses of wine. Normal 200 ml glass costs from €10. Avoid this place, I'd say.

Having searched high and low for a tasting menu on a Sunday in Dublin city, it seemed Bang was the only place open that did one. Am I the only person that goes out on a Sunday evening? Anyways, Holy day issues aside Bang was a welcoming restaurant on a cold November evening. As we had eaten our weight in Peanuts beforehand at the Shelbourne bar across the road we decided to go for the 5 course tasting menu (€69 pp) instead of the 8. That decision soon turned into panic though when the first 3 courses that came out were absolutely tiny. Should we order more bread or go back to the Shelbourne for more peanuts??? Just as we were deciding course no 4, the main course came out ...and phew it was normal sized! As for the food itself, nice is all I can really say about it. Yes nice is such a boring word. Everything was very pretty and looked the part but taste wise it was fine but definitely lacking a wow factor which I guess I have come to expect from tasting menus. The staff were fantastic however and real credit to the restaurant. I would come back just to be served by them again.

Another great high end restaurant in the City centre. As with other restaurants of this calibre it has quite a laid-back atmosphere and, of course, wonderful food. Even the bread given before the starter is fantastic! I went with the duck breast with baby new potatoes, each bite heavenly. The duck wasn't fatty in the slightest which is usually a big issue. I'd highly recommend this if looking for a high end restaurant in the city, this is probably my favourite of it's Ilk.

Bang wins the title of my favourite restaurant in Dublin! I've dined here twice: just before the holidays last December with six of my family members visiting from the states, and last month with one of my friends celebrating the end of the academic year. On both occasions the service was impeccable and the food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The drinks, including the espresso martini, were scrumptious as well! Bang's menu presented quite a variety of choices: the venison, salmon, chicken and risotto were all delicious. I could probably live solely off a diet of the "Cured Clare Island Salmon, Tartar, Black Sesame Puree, Kimchi Cucumber, Local Radish, Frozen Horseradish" and the "Jerusalem Artichoke Risotto with Crispy Hens Egg, Artichoke Crisps, Truffle Oil" dishes. I'd have to add in a side of the truffled honey that's served with the cheese board, of course! On my most recent visit, I redeemed a deal I purchased online for the 5-course tasting menu. When we arrived, my friend and I decided to splurge for the wine pairings for each course as well. As anticipated, the dishes were presented beautifully and the wine pairings carefully matched the flavours of each dish. Our awesome waiter even threw in a creative shot to accompany our desert. Well worth the splurge! There's a special place in my heart, and stomach, for Bang, and I can't wait to go back...soon!

We ate at Bang when we were in Dublin a couple of weeks ago. My husband and I split the fresh oyster appetizer - the oysters were so fresh and briny, served with a slice of lemon that added even more to the dish. Some of the best oysters we've ever had. Our fish entrees were wonderful - fresh, and cooked perfectly. Vegetables were cooked as we like them, al dente and not mushy. We thought it was a good value for the money. Accessibility might be a factor if you don't do stairs well, but that was not a problem for us.

I have to agree with the other reviews when I express my undying love for Bang. It's really really good. I've been here on a date and for my xmas work do, and I really enjoyed it both times. The service is excellent, the décor is lovely, the atmosphere is great and most importantly, the food is top notch. For starters I like the scallops and for mains is a toss up between the steak and the bangers and mash. Surprisingly, the bangers and mash is one of the cheapest dishes on the menu, but in my opinion it's one of the best. The guys who run it are really nice too - very accommodating and I have always found them very friendly.

We came here because we bought a groupon voucher for a 5 course tasting menu with baileys for 2 for 69 euro. Then starter portions were tiny and at first I was worried I wouldn't get filled but after all the courses it was really enough food. The dessert (some white chocolate/lime mousse) was fantastic! It could have been nice if there was a bit of a choice though. The only options you were given was fish or ribs for the main course. The rest was the same menu for everyone. They forgot to serve us bread in the beginning and generally they seemed a bit "too busy/overworked" - therefore only 4 stars for otherwise a great fine dining experience!

Well, I would say it is a nice restaurant to try, but definitely not the one to come back often. I had as starter a very tiny portion of risotto with truffle, while I had the steak as main course. Great selection of wine, I would say. Generally speaking, I had a nice experience besides that after the dinner I was still hungry.

It wasn't great and it wasn't awful. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. I had the Riesling which was decent. I had the tomato salad some weird little balls of...cheese? It seemed like a mix of cheese whiz and mayonnaise. The greens were limited and tasteless and some of the tomatoes were not ripe. I had the gnocchi, which was bland. The cheese on it was freshly grated but there was really no taste, seasonings, or spices. There's a green sauce that comes with it that also added no taste. And there was some strange wilted lettuce underneath that also added nothing to the dish. The vanilla custard had some interesting flavors, but you're thrown off by tasteless gelatinous layers with another layer of nuts? All in all, I would not return.

A wonderful meal for our final night in Ireland. The menu consists of local Irish ingredients excellently prepared in creative ways. The atmosphere is chic-casual, but in a way that my 75-year old parents were not put off. Service was very good, with a friendly, welcoming hostess and attentive waitstaff. Our meal started with an amuse bouche of pan seared salmon with some ginger and micro greens. Delicious and a creative pairing. The thin slice of ginger was not overpowering and complimented the Salmon. For our entrees, I had a pan-seared Hake with roasted cauliflower and a crunchy potato wedge. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. Presented as a long rectangle with a crispy top, the potato wedge was tender and was the most creatively prepared of the many potato dishes we ate during our visit. The cauliflower consisted of half a floret, nicely charred. My wife had duck in a blackberry port sauce. It came prepared with a crispy skin and tender, succulent meat. Also included was a generous slice of melt-in-your-mouth seared foie gras. The sauce was thick and rich, with some full blackberries. The wine list was very good, with numerous by-the-glass selections. We skipped dessert, so nothing to report there. All in all a fantastic experience!

We went for the four course tasting menu, and bless them we were the difficult table. For once I wasn't the only person with food allergy restrictions. Overall the food was fine and the menu worked out as quite good value, although the booze was overpriced in a way you might expect. Checking in with your yelp app gives you a free glass of prosecco, which was particularly nice, and I topped that up with a beautiful raspberry bellini, which I think was over 10 euro. The food was good quality but nothing really spectacular. I'm giving them an extra star because when it turned out that the two starter options I liked on the menu had pepper (allergic!) in them and I told them it was fine, I wouldn't have the starter, the chef made a special dish for me. I really appreciated that service.

Civilized and serene when you are tired of the loud pubs. We had excellent oysters and we LOVED that they've been donating to a non-profit for years. The chips were top notch and the service really fun and friendly. Make it a stop when you are on Merrion Row.

One of the best restaurants in Dublin. Inventive Irish fusion cuisine. Excellent salads---really dug the Honey and Roasted Soya Duck Salad. The chicken main I had was great. One of my friends had what she called the best bangers and mash ever---yes it's possible to do high end bangers:) Even the bread was fantastic---try the basil and sea salt one! Bang is a bit pricey but definitely worth it. Highly highly recommended.

More than a Clatter, yet less than a Boom. Went on a Friday evening for a pre-theatre dinner. This is 21 Euro for 2 courses between 1730 and 1900. The serving staff were very polite, well attired, attentive, and professional. It was a good start and I was quite impressed. They had sufficient smiles, yet did not hover, and were quick to accommodate. We should expect good service at any price range, so I happily report this element was appropriately satisfied. My starter was a cheese board, consisting of Bellingham Blue, Ardrahan, Mount Callan, crackers, honey truffle, almonds, and grapes. It carried an additional 3 Euro tariff. My main was kettle aged steak, with french fries and a bearnaise sauce that carried an additional 7 Euro tariff. It is very irritating to have an early bird or pre-theatre menu, with a supposed "package" deal, only to have it littered with supplemental costs. I think that is deviously insulting and incredibly tacky. Also, consider this, there were four main choices. Two of the four carried supplemental charges. I think that's ridiculous. My meal above, for instance, was to be 21 Euro. But with the supplemental charges, it was 31. My meal itself was nice. The cheeseboard was massive and the selection was good. I was unable to finish it, for fear of not having room for dinner. I really enjoyed it and could of munched on that all evening. The kettle aged steak was also nice. I had it medium rare and it was sufficiently pink inside. It was easy to cut and melted nice in my mouth. My only complaint was the outside was a bit over-salted, but the inside was perfectly cooked. In sum, not the best steak I have ever had, but definitely not the worst. Oddly enough, with my main, I was expecting steak-like thick-cut chips, but what I received was a small bowl full of thin-cut chips that were deep-fat fried, much like you'd get at a chipper or McDonalds. It was an odd compliment to such a nice steak. I'd of preferred the roasted potato that came with the salmon. My date of the evening ordered arancini as a starter, of which I sampled and was absolutely gorgeous. Her main was salmon and spuds, which was rich and tasty. It may seem overly harsh, but at 67 Euro for two on a quick pre-theatre dinner, my expectations were reasonably high. That said, I'm still giving 3 stars. The service was perfect and food was nice, but not quite worth the price (when you consider the sides and supplemental charges).

Great food, presentation, ambiance, decor, and service - love It! It caters to more of a business meeting / professionals type crowd; but, it's also a good spot in general. There are two levels; however, I liked the street level space as it's brighter and a nice layout. As for the eats: try the artichoke risotto with egg - fabulous! And, a very yummy starter would be the salmon tartare. I sampled my friend's French Fries and they were pretty tasty too! There is also an extensive wine list suitable for pairing with your entrees. Here's a plus: Book your reservation online! And, enter "PROSECCO" in the 'notes' section of your booking and you'll be greeted with a glass upon your arrival!

Dunno how to edit this - Bang Café has re-opened! All renewed. Very nice staff. Very good location. I have only been there for their desert so far.. absolutely divine! The home-made ice creams are sensational! I mean it!. I am looking forward to going for a full meal and give a full feedback afterwards. So far, I have been really impressed.

An excellent experience here for a recent ladies get together. We availed of the pre-theatre menu, it was delicious and mighty good value. 24.95 EUR for two courses 29.95 EUR for three courses I opted for the salmon starter and the beef main course. Both were fantastic. The portion sizes are not huge, but the food is rich, so it does fill you up. I recommend you take the bread when its offered. And a side or two if you really need filling up. The wine, chosen by my sister, was excellent. She was able to sample one or two before deciding, which I thought was a nice touch. The staff were all excellent, very attentive and polite. Always had a smile on if you passed them on the stairs. Over all it worked out at 35 EUR per person when you included sides and coffees. This of course did not include the wine. Four of us checked in on Yelp, which entitled us to a glass of presecco. Nice! Highly recommended.

This is an amazing restaurant. Food and drinks taste fantastic and are delivered in glamourous presentation. They've got a Michelin banner but no stars. I'm no expert but would imagine they need to serve smaller portions to move toward a star. The trout appetizer I had was the highlight of the night, the best food I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend this place.

As I had heard good(ish) things about this restaurant and and was also basing my judgment on the numerous awards they have displayed on the wall, I was expecting far better. We arrived at 7pm, (early bird is until 7pm). However, the staff member pointed out it was one minute past 7 so she would have to check if it was ok to give us the menu. Thanks for the BIG favour! We shivered our way through two average courses (SUCH a draft in that building). I had a very tasteless burrata salad, complete with three rocket leaves! For the main I had another average-tasting hake. We hoped to warm up with a coffee afterwards. After 30 minutes with no coffee in sight, we decided to cancel these. She simply apologised. In many other restaurants, these would have been promptly made and given on the house. This is NOT one of those restaurants! Would NOT recommend.

We came here for the husband's birthday and had an awesome meal and great service. They gave each of us a glass of bubbly because it was his birthday, which was a nice touch. The decor is all right. I don't really dig restaurant with low ceilings but it didn't seem as oppressive as it could have been.

What a wonderful way to begin our Irish Holiday and quell the effects of a long plane ride. Wandering around Merrion Square in a collective family daze, we happened upon Bang and after a quick consult decided we needn't look further. Instinct and experience told us to head in. No reservation but the staff happily seated us with the request that we give up our table at 8:30 pm for a previous reservation. It was about 6:15 and so we had NO problem with this. Quite generous of them as a matter of fact! The menu varies so your experience with it will too but openers of seared tuna with avocado mousse, pickled cucumber, elderflower & soy, another warm salad of heirloom carrots with amazing Moroccan spices, the carrots as if pulled from the garden moments before along with sweet snd smokey field mushrooms. A dark and chewy homemade bread with the sweetest butter was also gobbled up. What a start! We moved onto a crispy and moist Pan fried hake with Dublin bay prawns, cauliflower puree, mussels & vadouvan. Amazing!! Another main of rabbit so tender it fell apart under my fork and the last a Slaney lamb rump, pressed shoulder, charred onion and anchovy emulsion. My son devoured this with almost embarrassing ease!! Fatigue and sated appetites didn't allow for deserts, alas, but given another chance I think we'd be up to the task. Bang is a charming space, tastefully decorated and staffed by warm and highly skilled people. The kitchen represents all that is good in modern, classically rooted cuisine with a standard for innovation and excellence that is of the highest order. We felt casual and relaxed but this place also lends itself to an upscale feel. This versatility isn't easy to accomplish but Bang does easily and comfortably. How lucky we were and thanks to Bang for a perfect beginning.

This is a lively, trendy, and delicious restaurant near St. Stephen's Green. We went as tourists, but it was nice to get away from others of our kind. You can tell that this restaurant is popular with the fashionable local crowd. The food is very good. I had the ribeye and it was so tasty. Served with yummy mushrooms and out-of-this-world fries. I had the mackerel appetizer, which was a tad salty, but my husband enjoyed it. He loved his tuna appetizer. They also gave us some prosecco on the house because we were on our honeymoon. Nice!

This was my favorite fine dining experience of the week in Dublin. Had a business dinner here and started with the oxtail gnocchi, which was a very good way to start it off. The oxtail added the perfect amount of saltiness to the very well prepared gnocchi that melts in your mouth. For the main, had the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection at medium rare for me. I enjoyed my dinner very much! Restaurant is not for the physically challenged as it has multiple floors and the restrooms are on the second floor, we ate on the basement floor!

We went for the 8 course tasting menu (it was a birthday gift). Such a treat! The food was pretty good. I loved more dishes than others, especially the hake and halibut and then the main beef dish. But neither of the cheese plates were really appealing. Shame. Because I do love my goat's cheese. We also got the wine to match the different plates. Quite expensive, which brought the bill to quite a surprising amount, but matched each of the dishes very well. The staff were very good, pleasant and seem to know their stuff. I'd love to go back again, and may do so (as I have my YELP free glass of prosecco)

The decor isn't much of interest and the waiting staff with the CIA ear pieces take a bit of getting used to, but the food was so stand out good that this has to get the five stars. Flavours abound, distinctive and rich, and every aspect feels perfectly judged. It's not showy but it is complex and every one of our party of six, which had fish, meat and veggie options, was more than satisfied. I wanted to meet the chef and thank him - it felt like there was that rare combination of care and creative spark - so I'll say my thank you here, and hope it's as good next time we return.

Bang is a trendy restaurant in a great area of Dublin.  I had a very satisfying meal here with business associates, but it would be great for a date.  Reservations are a must, but worth it if you have to wait.  The food all was unique.  My favorite was the Duck.   It is a little spendy, but average costs for a high end restaurant.

Made a last minute reservation and was incredibly surprised. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet not stuffy, drinks were incredible each time and food was beyond what we could have ever expected. The Halibut had incredible flavor and my wife having had the scallops and crispy pork said it was the best meal she has ever had! Ask to be seated in Alex's section, he was on point and incredibly attentive. You can't go wrong here from our perspective!

I had an amazing meal at Bang, whilst on a business trip to Dublin. The restaurant was buzzing with a full crowd, the service was friendly and attentive, and the menu had so many tempting options. I had the duck and fois gras gnocci to start and had the lamb entree. Both dishes were delicious and so rich with flavor! Will definitely be back to Bang when I'm in Dublin next.
