The décor is all warm wood, soft lighting, and neighborhood charm—making it feel like a local favorite, even on your first visit.

Why Concert-goers love it

Proximity is a major win—Lottie's is close to several popular music venues and just a quick cab or bus ride from central Dublin. Reviewers rave about the quick service, which means you can squeeze in a full meal without the stress of missing opening acts. The menu features pre-show friendly options like fish and chips, steak sandwiches, and seasonal small plates, all delivered in a relaxed yet efficient setting. It’s lively, but not too loud—ideal for chatting about setlists before the gig.

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently mention the warm and attentive staff, the cozy atmosphere, and the well-executed Irish classics like beef short rib and pan-fried hake. The cocktail list and wine selection also get plenty of love. Many reviewers call it a "hidden gem"—a place they stumbled upon but can’t wait to return to.

Areas for Improvement

While most diners enjoy the ambiance, a few have noted that it can get a little busy on weekend evenings, so reservations are a smart move. Some also mention that while the menu is strong, vegetarian options are a bit limited—something to consider if you're dining with plant-based friends.

The Bottom Line

Lottie's is a warm and welcoming Irish spot that hits all the right notes for concert-goers craving a satisfying meal and easygoing atmosphere before the show.
