Brookwood

The best porterhouse steaks I had in my life. Very attentive service, decent wine selection and a free cocktail if you check-​in on Unilocal.Quite pricey though, but absolutely worth the money. Seems to be not extremely popular with the locals, I’ve been here twice and managed to get a big table for 10 people with no issues.
Will be coming here again. Soon. Very soon!

On our trip to Ireland we chose Brookwood to have Sunday roast and boy were we pleased! The whole experience was just delightful from the moment we stepped in the door. We were seated upstairs in a nice quiet corner and almost felt like we were being treated to a private dinner. The interior was very warm and classy and the servers were dressed sharply and very kind. The roast, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables and Yorkshire puddings came presented so beautifully and warm. Everything was cooked just how I like it and id even go so far to say it may have been better than what mum makes. Even though we were full at the end we needed to have a slice of banoffee pie at the end as it’s something we always have to make at home in Canada.
If we come to Dublin we will be back!

This place is a disaster!
I was served up one of the best steaks I’ve ever had but that’s the only positive. We were sat down and left without any staff approaching us for 30mins. Couldn’t even order a drink because the host was too busy chatting to someone, he was a joke. Eventually when we managed to nab a waiter we got a bit of service.
As I said steak was great but then they had the cheek of serving up a stale shop bought desert, bloody disgrace with the price they are charging!
Don’t bother, go to the likes of Darwins or whitefriar grill where both good food and good service go hand in hand!

Wow… what a great place. My husband and I enjoyed our best meal yet since moving to Dublin last Spring. We came to Brookwood for their Sunday roast special and it was delicious. We started out with mozzarella & tomato and the sweet corn, chorizo & lobster salad. Excellent. The mozzarella was great– perfect amount of saltiness. The sweet corn salad was served warm with delicious toasted bread. Very unique flavors. For our entrees, the prime rib was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The sides were delicious and well seasoned also. Brookwood also has a pretty extensive cocktail menu. Cocktails are ½ price on Sundays! The atmosphere was great– not too stuffy at all. Service was friendly and the staff was knowledgeable and helpful. They seem to run different specials for each day of the week too. I’m so happy we discovered this great restaurant!

What a place! Ended up wandering by with a large group of buddies — they were very accommodating and the General Manager was super friendly and eager to help. Besides the exceptional service, their selection of local craft beers was outstanding and I had quite a delicious evening! ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would go again! 100%

What a great steakhouse! I hadn’t heard about Brookwood before and when a friend suggested we go there for a dinner on Friday night I didn’t know what to expect. Well now I have a new favorite Steak joint in Dublin. This place is awesome.
The staff are extremely welcoming and courteous and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The décor is pretty cool and make you feel more comfortable than out of place like a lot upper end steak places can do. We ordered starters and mains to split. The stuffed potato was great and felt like a meal in itself. For mains we got a rib eye steak that we split along with Spinach. My steak was really good but I tasted my friends Fillet Mignon which I would say was one of the best cuts of meat i’ver ever had. There was also a Unilocal check in offer for a cocktail. I would love to go back and test the cocktail menu in the future.

I don’t always give 5 stars, but by god this restaurant earned every one. My husband and I came in here after a day of shopping around town. We totally meant to arrive in time for lunch, but (yeah for me, not for him), we spent too much time shopping and didn’t arrive until around 5:15pm or so on a Saturday. Of course, because it was so early, we were the only people in the restaurant. We were told we could sit at the table till 7pm, because the table was reserved at that time. However, they informed us that when 7pm came if we were not done, they would be happy to move us to the bar at the window. We though, sure, sounds great!
We started off with the pork belly and the steak and blue cheese salad as our appetizers. The salad was fantastic; the perfect balance between sweet and savoury. Also, the salad was significantly larger than I was expecting it to be. The pork belly was also very good, and was served with a honey mustard type of sauce. The pork belly was a bit smaller than I was expecting it to be, but still very good.
For our dinner, we decided to split the porterhouse steak with a side of garlic mash and truffle mac and cheese. We ordered our steak rare, and it was brought out, sliced, on a hot cast iron skillet. We had to hurry and get our pieces off the plate to prevent them from cooking the steak more. The presentation was neat with the skillet, but I would have honestly preferred it had been plated differently for that very reason.
The garlic mash was good, not too much garlic, and the potatoes were nice and creamy. The mac and cheese was also very good. There was just a hint of truffle, it wasn’t particularly strong. So if you’re nervous about the truffle, no need to worry!
I was so full eating all this food, I couldn’t even finish it all, but my husband was happy to take over and help! We didn’t have room for dessert, but instead got drinks. I opted for the drink that comes with the Unilocal check in offer (unfortunately I’ve forgotten the name of the drink). But it was really nice and refreshing. I could see myself ordering this on a hot summer’s day (the one time a year that happens in Ireland).
I can’t wait to come back to this place, it’d be great for a date night or a treat yourself dinner. They also do a sunday roast which I really want to come back and check out.

I hadn’t heard of Brookwood before but some friends invited us to join them for Sunday lunch and sent us on a voucher from
for 2 cocktails and roast for 2 for 30 quid… roast was fab as were the cocktails (although I did spot that my friend’s martini was served in a milk bottle on ice so requested for mine to come just in the martini glass #wewantplates!). Some of our party weren’t on the voucher and all loved their food too. We had some starters and mains which were all great as well. We fell into the trap of their gorgeous half price cocktails (Sundays only) and ended up being there for ages. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and even gave us some bits and bobs on the house which was a lovely touch, especially as it was so cheap anyway with the vouchers and the half price cocktails.
I think we’ll be spending lots of lazy Sundays in here!

Went to Brookwood yesterday for my boyfriend’s birthday, had seen the Sunday roast mentioned in a Buzzfeed article on the most delicious dishes in Dublin and having checked out the website, really loved the look of the place– all 1940’s speakeasy — and thought it’d be a nice alternative to the typical Sunday brunch.
Having booked the restaurant, I then came across a voucher for a half roast for two people with 2 cocktails on the
, having been stung before by using vouchers with some restaurants treating you like a second-​class citizen when using them, I was a little wary of purchasing one for this, seeing as it was a special occasion.
However, the staff at Brookwood honestly couldn’t have been more accommodating and the service was really outstanding, my fears really were put to rest from the moment we arrived, they honestly could not have looked after us any better.
As a party of five and having two vouchers which entitled us to four cocktails, they even threw in an extra drink for free, which we were not expecting at all but very happily accepted! The food was on par with the service, the roast for four people was an epic affair — big juicy slices of medium rare beef that melted in the mouth served with big, airy Yorkshire puds, creamy mash (we suspected equal ratios of butter to potato haha), beautiful roast veg and potatoes, gravy and a horseradish sauce so good that I am now a convert, not being at all keen on it in the past.
Seeing as some of our party had been on the sauce the night before and we were all pretty schtarved we included some sides to the feast (pretty unnecessary really but the hangover had to be fed!!). The onion rings, parmesan chips and creamed spinach were all outstanding. If I had one quibble and it honestly would be tiny, it would be that the side dishes with the roast and the extras we ordered could have been a little hotter for my taste — but that really is me nit-​picking!
I really enjoyed the fact that the food was served up to be dished out communally, it’s a nice touch and makes the experience a little more fun.
Along with the excellent food and service, the décor and vibe of the place is really cool too, from the heavy ornate water glasses that looked straight out of Mad Men (surely the glasses of Mr. Draper et al. would have held a little whiskey along with the water though haha) to the chilled tunes and great cocktail bar.
Brookwood, I will be back, hands down the best roast I’ve had (bar the Mammy’s of course!).

We came with the 30 € voucher, which was a cocktail and roast dinner meal.
I have to say it was a fantastic meal. Great value. The food and service was impeccable.
Excellent cocktails, nice and strong. Also, check in and get a free cocktail. (The terry) a lovely refreshing cocktail.
We will definitely be going back, with friends.
The voucher is great value.
(Voucher was bought on
)
Great value, fantastic service.

Overpriced and food was poor. Had the burger which was awful. Burger bun was like a rock. Cooked from frozen I would imagine. Wont be going back.

I’m giving Brookwood 4 stars as the food was fantastic and we were celebrating a special occasion and they provided us a complimentary glass of champagne each. We sat beside the open kitchen and you could see the chefs worked like a well oiled machine but the same couldn’t be said for the floor staff, they seemed a bit scattered, bring the coffee but no milk and sugar, as for them both and only get the milk. The wine list is good but they could do with a few cheaper alternatives. I do think the website over sells what you see on arrival. This place shows a lot of promise and I will certainly be going back.

Great roast for 2 on Sunday… Well worth checking out if you are in the baggot street area. Really nice staff too.

My girlfriend and I came here on one of the Irish times rewarding times voucher, € 79 for three courses and bottle of wine which in itself is a great deal, provided the food and wine is good anyway.
Well were weren’t disappointed!
The place feels like a prohibition era style American cocktail bar with a buzzing ambience with friendly staff and comfortable seating.
We got a really nice bottle of Italian red, a little more on the € 30 we had in the voucher but well worth. We only decided on this one after being given the option to try a couple which is a nice touch.
Now for the food, I got crab and egg pot and Edel went for the house salad, both very tasty but the crab was excellent!
Rib eye and prawns followed for us both and I don’t say this lightly but the rib eye was the best steak I have had in Dublin… seriously! I ate all the fat which melted like butter in my mouth, unbelievable!!!
Hefty portions for dessert as well which we weren’t expecting so we left absolutely delighted with ourselves and making a commitment to come back!
Try this place!

In an area that is littered with restaurants and bars it can be slightly overwhelming trying to choose somewhere decent. This is most true somewhere like Baggot St. A treasure trove of eateries.
Buried amidst this is this lovely spot. As soon as you walk in, you will be impressed. Lovely atmosphere and great service.
I was here with friends for the Sunday roast. It was absolutely perfect. Possibly the best roast I’ve ever had (excecpt my Mum’s of course!).
Looking forward to revisiting for dinner some night.

Super tasty
We had a delicious dinner in Brookwood on Wednesday night. It’s fairly new but good service and excellent food to start we had the chicken liver parfait and some oysters, both were excellent. However the oysters were Pacific, not Natives, but still very tasty.
For mains we had the fish and chips which was very fresh, lovely crisp batter, not at all greasy and very well made tartare sauce. Also the Lobster which was fresh and tasty.
A very good dinner, for desert we retired to Donehy&nesbitt for a pint, a very pleasant evening, I look forward to returning soon.

Of definitely go here again. Had brookwood salad for starter and seafood platter for mains. Throw in a side of Rosemary parmesan fries and a Belgian pilsner and I went away very full and very impressed. Service was excellent. Orders for 8 people all spot in. Food was definitely freshly prepared (a professional chef in our party confirmed) but still came swiftly. Others had the steak and all smiles. The jazz band playing through the afternoon was the icing on the cake. Definitely a better vet than some if the soulless places you find over by the IFSC.

I have been here a number of time and I have to say I love it. The food is great and it never seems to disappoint. The interior is beautifully decorated and they recently finished of the outside of the building which looks awesome. My favourite starters are the mushrooms on toast, grilled marrow and the pâté in a jar. For mains you can’t go wrong with one of their steaks. The burger is great also. There a number of different sides to choose from and you can pick and choose as you like. Try the mash!

I visited Brookwood based on the good feedback I’d seen online but had a pretty bad experience to be honest. Found it overpriced (paying € 1.50 for ketchup or mayo?!) and my fish main was awful. Partner got the burger which was good. Dessert of sticky toffee pudding was terrible too. Have heard good feedback on their steaks but I personally wouldn’t bother returning based on my previous visit.

I went here for lunch on a work do so the drinks were flowing. I had a red wine which was really easy to drink. The boys were ordering beers with 9% alcohol! And I tasted the cucumber cocktail which was really good. Had a nice kick to it.
I had an unusual salad with feta cheese and chickpeas to start. It was a great choice. Really big portion so when my big rib eye steak, greens and paprika fries arrived I was already sort of full. A couple of people ordered the 28oz porterhouse steak as a challenge. They needed a lie down after! My steak and sides I could not fault. Staff were very attentive. Topping up drinks all the time and checking if we were ok.
We had reserved a hip feeling room with its own bar upstairs. Bathroom is impressive with a big bunch of lillies.
Cool New York vibe to the place. Would love to go back.
