Pygmalion in Dublin

Cocktails were really nice, the food really brought the rating. We got a pizza to share and it was burnt and was thrown together. It was uncut and untasteful.

Had left my coat behind on a night and went back the following morning to get it and and the staff said they do not have access to the lost and found and that i need to email someone. 4 days later and finally got a reply to say my coat was not there despite one member of staff saying they had seen it. Very unfriendly staff and not my first bad experience at pyg

Great atmosphere and pizza was legit! This place is huge and has two areas. Just pop in to walk around and take everything in.

Went here yesterday with the boys. It was grand, met some Brazil wan who couldnt understand me. Ended up going to an afters on Harcourt st, where the pint were pricey but sticky out. Talk to this lad about the horses. Fab night. Story with the saloon doors in the jacks?

Wonderful place for drinks and for dancing the night away. Gorgeous cocktails and lovely staff. The manager Denner was very accommodating and very friendly.

Watered down cocktails. €17 each in the 2 for 1 special so not really great value at all. Service slow. Staff friendly enough.

Very bad customer service. I was sitting outside and a guy came over out of nowhere to our table off his head, he lifted my full drink in the air and smashed the glass all over me and the table. He was kicked out and I asked the staff if they could replace my drink and they said no because there was no manager there to put it through the till, very bizzare.

Great place !! Amazing food, vibe and cocktails 🤩 10/10

Great atmosphere, really nice staff and amazing bartenders. Gizem made the most unbelievable cocktails you have ever had !

Reasonable price, high quality. One of the staffs was really nice and showed her kindness. A customer vomited near us and it was really disgusting there. The staff found another table for us immediately. But another staff came and took our order without any greeting but charged us extra 2 euro for ‘staff cover charge’. Both me and my friend felt really happy to tip the first staff but not the other one. Anyway, it’s still a really nice place for girls’ hang out.Recommend.

Went in to the bathroom and gave the lad who hands you a paper towel the last of my change, when i came back the second time, he recognised me and gave out to me for not giving him enough! He was angry I didn’t give him enough money for handing me tissue! Outrageous.

Great service! Everybody really passive aggressive. Loved it!If I could make a complaint, I would say the service was a bit too passive aggressive!Amazing tho. Will never come back.

Very overrated venue. Cocktails were decent but the 2 for 1 is misleading when the price is €17.90. Music poor, bouncers very rude and arrogant (without being aggressive to be fair), appears to be one rule for their Brazilian compatriots and one for everyone else. Wouldnt recommend.

Noise, dark, dirty disgusting. This the four words to describe this place, the floor was sticky, you need your phone light to see the menu, in the glasses you could feel the dirty when you touch and for the last the table which we booked for a birthday has a "couch" in the corner but someone had vomited on it, we could smell it but we thought it was from the floor until the waitress sat down to take an order and felt it was wet. disgusting!

Place has both a lot of inside places to go to for dancing and outside terrace sitting, however outside don’t sit next to the wall at the tables, there is a heater and during summertime it is way too much and not enjoyable. The crowd is mainly young people, drinks are okay.

Huge and Beautiful place where you can eat, drink and dance. The atmosphere is elegant and wild at the same time. I really like it

I’ve been in pygmalion for 4 years straight without an issue what so ever, never asked for an ID for example, until today. The security guy asking for id, obviously i dont have it on me but always i have a photo of it but today that was an issue, but it wasnt an issue for his brazilian friends and the attitude was outrageous. I feel bad for that place coming back in after lockdown . Alot changed and i am disappointed on how it did changed.Used to have good relationships in Pygmalion and i loved the place. Definitely will not go back in that kip

Bought the buy one get one free cocktail... Was told the price was 17 euro but got charged 25 .... Very bad service ... Also after every drink the bar men were looking for tips

A good place to have a sneaky dance if youre drunk. Although the bouncer on the night wasnt very pleasant I enjoyed my time there

Nice cocktails, although we got 2 Bulmers today (12.80e for bothand also they charged us 2e for staff cover charge. Really? Honestly, I was shocked

Most rascist place to be in, there is clear biased treatment.Firstly if there are drinks which are half filled the waiter has no authority to take them if you not around.They will not let us sit in peace, unlike others we were approached constantly for asking if thats our last order.The waiter are super rascist as if they dont want you there, I can say this based on my 3rd and last ever experience to this place .

Was a traveller in Dublin and I had a great time one night when I came with my friends, but the next night when I came alone the bouncer didnt let me in because he said they dont allow the trousers I wore. Even though they were the exact same ones I wore the night before when I came with my friends. And my 3 friends who I came with the night before all wore shorts...The bouncer on Tuesday didnt make any comment about my trousers or my friends, and was very friendly. But on Wednesday the bouncer there said they dont allow people in with the trousers I was wearing and just kept repeating that with no further explanation. The trousers were not jeans but no different to what some of the other people that were allowed in were wearing. I dont know what the problem was (maybe because I was by myselfbut I ended up going somewhere else and having a much better time.Good place, but the security is terrible, very selective, and I felt very discriminated against to be honest

Great place for a quick afternoon drink or coffee. Super friendly staff and eclectic clientele. Perfect for "people-watching"! Music a tad too loud for meaningful conversation, overall a great place. I love it!

Has a 2x1 and higher prices deal. Good for going with friends and making the most of that! Pizzas are nice and just careful of drinks not in the offer are 15€+.

perfect place to grab some cocktail drinks..always busy though but the staff are very helpful getting you your chair..the deal with the buy 2 cocktails for 1 is an "okay" option and the price have gone up dramatically during pandemic..

Very bad place to eat. We waited more than 45min to get our food. It wasnt so good and expensive. 2,90€ for an added sauce like mayo or ketchup. You can eat cocktail on this place but definitely not eat.

We waited more than 40 minutes for 2 salads and 2 burgers. We got charged for the burger sauces (2,90€ per sauce).The food was only okay. I would not recommend!

One of the best places in Dublin for cocktails!

Delicious pizza and cocktails. Staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is cool and trendy!

For me heating of the closure over rat droppings might make this establishment grow a little kinder than at present.. I seem to recall a few years ago I was here and as there was a lot of sunshine we were on one of the couches seated outside. The owner or someone else closely resembling him was mingling and even seemed to bring drinks, so we asked for two refills. When nothing came I approached him and he very aggressively told me you didnt order anything, pyg should sell some of its unused antigen tests and lower the extortionate prices. Whoever the bloke was, he had a terrible attitude hope hes not there now.

The service wasn’t the most efficient and the food was quite basic. It is a good spot to hangout with friends and have a couple of drinks in between your shopping, but I think for the price you could get a nicer experience elsewhere.

Extremely dissapointed with the food and service and cocktails. We ordered vegatarian burger and meat burger when it arrived they couldn’t tell us which was which. The food was cold. The chips were not included in the burger price way too pricey for the quality received. Cocktails were not up to scratch. Staff very arguementative and not customer friendly. NEVER AGAIN.

Cool Location, delicious drinks and nice electronic music. A perfect mix for an unforgettable party night. Definitely one of the best party spots in town

Staff here were really kind and thoughtful last Saturday night. The most positive effort I have felt from a bar in terms of staff looking out for customers I have experienced in Dublin. They managed this while the place was nuts busy as well. Special mention to the doorman with long black coat and neck tattoo and also one of the male servers with short black hair. I will go out of my way to come back for drinks!

Lovey atmosphere for a cocktail and some people watching. Qurky lil spot I recommend midweek they do 2 for 1 cocktails and the pizza is unreal

Just be prepared that you arent actually paying 2 for 1 cocktails. You get charged €17.90 when their cocktails are usually €12/€13 each! Buy 1 get 1 half price is a good deal but just be honest about it instead of tricking people into a good deal by taking their money.

Rip off. 14 euro for a burger with not even a garnish on the plate. Place was filthy dirty. Will not be going back there

My entree arrived 20 minutes after my partners and turned out to be the worst chicken burger Ive ever tasted. It was freezing cold (obviouslyand the meat was terribly dry and stringy as though it was very old or maybe stored incorrectly before being cooked.I politely let staff know that there was something wrong with the burger/it wasnt good/I didnt want to eat it and asked if I could get something else instead.Ive never had someone argue this and tell me theres nothing wrong with the burger and insist that I just dont personally like the taste - but thats exactly what happened. The manager on duty (Mattias?was extremely unprofessional and instead of offering me something else to eat or a bill reduction, or even to take it off the table and bring me something else at my own cost, proceeded to insist that the food "wasnt raw" so he wouldnt offer me any alternative. He simply walked away and left the plate of food which I clearly was not going to eat. As a former waiter, it was handled in the exact opposite way it should have been.Were local and new to the area and were looking forward to making Pyg a regular spot, but theres not a chance I would give any money to any business with such abysmal food & customer service. Avoid.

FRIGHTENING AND UPSETTING EVENING!! ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. Avoid at all costsMyself and two friends went to pygmalion last night for dinner. The service was awful, we ordered two garlic dips which arrived after we were finished and we were still charged for them. We kept asking for water too and just kept getting ignored. However, none of this prepared me for what happened next.We were leaving. My friend was ahead of me and she accidentally bumped into one of your waiters, Mike. He just looked at her in a scary way and said “go”. I then followed behind her, Mile grabbed my arm and forcefully pushed me out the door. I started crying as I was in shock and he hurt me. He then followed me outside and started screaming and shouting at me. It was horrific. If I were a man there is no way he would have touched me. I intend to put this across all platforms of social media as this is not a safe place to go for food or drinks. I also feel that the guards should be involved as he assaulted me and should not be allowed to work there. Please know that regardless of how this is resolved neither myself nor any of my friends will ever set foot in there again. I am still in shock over what happened.

DISGRACEFUL! My first time here and was excited to try it. Unfortunately it was a major let down. The service was awful and very slow. The food was mediocre at best and over priced the side of fries consisted of 10 chips.. I was still hungry after it. The cocktails are tempting as they are two for one and they did taste delicious however the glass is so skinny and its 90% ice so really you do not get value for money. When we got the bill we were charged for two dips which we received after we had finished our meals, we questioned the waitress and her answer "ye sorry" when we were leaving my friend was shoved out the door by a waiter who told her to go ... app she wasnt moving fast enough for him .. we inquired about his name and was simply told "mike" I will never return and if you are looking for value for money and a good time avoid avoid avoid

Never had a bad time here. Live in Vancouver but home for the week and it’s more impressive for cocktails than ever! Larissa was great to talk to loved every part of making our cocktails, legend!

If your looking for decent cocktails this bar is the place to go. Nice outside seating area.. If you get the couches at the top of the side area on a a sunny day you will be in heaven. Try the Berrylicious you will not be disappointed. The staff were efficient not long waiting on orders and also so friendly definitely some of the nicest staff I have encountered.. Would not rate the pizza but may be to other peoples liking. All in all great pub, lovely drinks and great atmosphere, will lost definitely be back.

Not accepted cash + Crowded + Delicious sweet potatoes + Price is fairAnother day: They didnt let us go inside as one of us wore Adidas Ultra Boost!!!

What a happeningggggg place!! Love the spirit the bartenders and the staff has over there! Such lovely decor and good food!! Had an amazing weekend night with my partner, and we cannot stop talking about coming over again next week!! 😍

Nice place to meet up friends and have lovely drinks. Really recommend this place for night out.

Love this little gem in the centre of Dublin. The wood fired pizza was delicious. The staff were attentive and above all really nice, despite the problem of the masks. Drinks were great, and reasonable enough for Dublin. The only reason its not a five star review is the wait if you are a walk in. If you want to come here BOOK!.

Again an excellent place with good music and service. One of the best places for an espresso martini. I would ask the owners to also start accepting American express cards in the future. 🍸

Gorgeous interior with a really great atmosphere. Gorgeous range of cocktails. The seating area outside is often busy but you are never too long waiting for a free seat and theres plenty of seating inside. They always have fantastic acts playing in there , Ive seen some fantastic local and international Djs on their lineups. Any night in there is always an enjoyable one.

Okay place to catch up with friends, eat and have drinks. The place is a bit overrated, located in a busy street.Tables were super dirty when we reached there and they didnt even bother cleaning them after we sat down, service was slow, and food was average, yet pricey.

Brilliant food and great place to eat and drink. They could use 2 more waiters though, it was very busy and the staff was overcharged.
