This place is soooo good!!! First time visiting Ireland and I got the pizza with a baked potato and a fruit salad for dessert! The fruit was extremely fresh and tasted really good! One of the top desserts I’ve ever had! My very picky eater brother had the Alaska and he said it was the best thing he’s ever eaten. Pizza crust was also really good! The ginger Ale is also oddly really good? And the SERVICE IS IMMACULATE we had two servers at our table and they were always smiling and definitely made our trip better! They even talked to us for a little bit and recommended some places! Thank you Anna our server!!! We wish we could’ve tipped more!!

Burgers
We had a wonderful dining experience today in The Clink at 2.40. We had googled the menu and what we saw online was quick food, burgers ect. We were absolutely thrilled to find the menu online is totally out of date and what we were offered …
Absolutely love this place! Me and my partner go here so often and the staff are amazing! There’s one girl with black hair and she’s the most amazing and nicest waitress ever! The food never disappoints either! I get the burger with wedges and their burgers are the most gorgeous thing ever! Same with their chicken wings. My partner gets the steak and has gotten the curry too and said they’re both divine! Partner also brought me here for my birthday and they put little pink balloons on our table and sang happy birthday to me too! Never will have a bad word to say abt the place absolutely amazing food and staff :)
