The Golden Ball
Review
Located perfectly on the outskirts of Dublin, The Golden Ball Pub stands as a beacon of history and hospitality. Once lending its name to the entire area in the late 1800s, today it remains a cherished gem under the care of Edel and Brian Lawlor, who also own the Enniskerry Inn in Wicklow. More than just a locals' haunt, The Golden Ball is a warm, welcoming space where strangers are simply friends yet to be made. The food’s nothing short of exceptional, offering hearty dishes packed with flavour and freshness. For those on the go, the adjacent Pod Cafe is perfect for lighter bites without compromising on quality. Whether you’re passing through or settling in, The Golden Ball delivers an unforgettable taste of Dublin charm.
