Our FX Buckley family butchers have been around Dublin since the times of James Joyce & Ulysses, at our monkstown branch you can eat in both our downstairs gastropub & upstairs in FXB's restaurant. Our pub is open daily from noon with casual food available until 10pm & drinks til closing time. We offer both a 'grazing' & 'a la carte' menu in the pub using fresh seasonal produce serving soups, starters, salads, meats & fresh fish. Upstairs opens at 6pm daily and specialises in steaks sourced directly from Sean Buckleys farm in Offaly & matured by Harry Buckley in our own butchers for 28 days. We pride ourselves on using fresh local produce whenever possible & we are renowned for our friendly service, vibrant atmosphere & value for money

I really like this pub restaurant. I live nearby so go quite often. The food is guaranteed to be good and they have a good wine list. If steak is your fancy, it will arrive, cooked exactly as you ordered it. The staff are friendly and helpful. It can get very busy at certain times in the evening but the the staff will do their best to accommodate you There is a bar area where you can have a drink if you have to wait for a table. For me, it's my local reliable and any friends who have come out my way for a visit, really enjoy it when we go there. It has a lovely buzzing atmosphere but it's also the type of place that you could go by yourself, with a newspaper, if you just wanted a nice dinner and didn't feel like cooking, particularly midweek. You wouldn't look odd on your own. Would highly recommend.

A group of 10 of us ate at FXBs Monkstown on New Years eve and I can't say enough about the fantastic service, value and food we received. I rang around several South Dublin restaurants that were charging extortionate prices for set menus for the night that was in it. FXBs on the other hand had a reasonable 3 course menu, including tea and coffee for €30. And it certainly wasn't a "value menu" like you often see, everyone had beautiful high quality food like prawn pil pil- 7 prawns! Not your usual 4, and perfectly cooked sirlion steaks, not to mention the beautiful deserts. The staff were so efficient and professional, from the point of booking. They remembered small details like putting our wine away to cool until we wanted it, helping us into our coats and numbering the table to save the usual faff trying to find who owns what food when it arrives to a large table. Thank you FXBs for such a brilliant evening with a group of friends who really value spending time together now that many of us are living away from home.

The food was great but the service awful, we were ignored when we arrived, not a good start and things didn't get any better. Good value for money but due to the poor service I won't be back
