Welcome to the historic Dropping Well Pub location on the banks of the River Dodder. In recent times The Dropping Well has been extensively refurbished with a liberal use of glass to open up the dining area which reveals the full beauty of the panoramic views of the Dodder falls and walks, and the Nine Arches as well as the mysterious site of the adopted rhino. At the front of the pub, Boxer Maher's public bar offers old fashioned drinking surroundings with wood and bric-a-brac recreating the style of a Victorian watering hole. It provides a traditional setting that evokes sentiments of a nostalgic journey back through the decades. The Dropping Well has 2 function rooms - The Bank Restaurant and The Dodder Room, where we can meet all your requirements from family functions to corporate events to weddings. Our team of chefs can create a specifically tailored menu for your function based on individual preferences and our friendly and efficient service will ensure your night is complete.

I got a nice table in their lovely sunroom. Only objection I had to the decor was the tiger skin hanging from the roof. Came with the purchase of the building I believe but not very PC in this day and age depending on your prospective. Service was quick, attentive and polite. I just went for a main course and had salmon with shrimp sauce. I asked for stuffing and extra sauce with it which they kindly gave me. The stuffing seem to be little more than breadcrumb and a binder, I've tasted nicer. The sauce was okay but I would have liked to have seen some shrimp in it rather them being pulverised into the sauce which I presume they were. The shreads of fennel that were supposed to come with it were nowhere to be seen. I got mashed & roast potatoes and the raw onion I requested instead of whatever vegetable was on. They were happy to please and tailor my meal to suit me. The meal was filling & tasty though I would have preferred the salmon served skin down rather than skin up. The mineral came at a special price of €2 with the main which was good value. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the surrounds. It's the sort of pub you'd enjoy even if you're not into drink.

I'll get straight to the point I use to love nothing more than a Sunday lunch or an evening meal here so it disappoints me to say I've noticed a steady decline in the quality of the food over the past year or so. I do hope things pick up or I'll have to look for an alternative. Don’t get me wrong I still love the pub, great pint and great staff but the food is starting to let the place down. 5 stars the last time I reviewed, can’t give you that this time.

Popped into the Dropping Well for lunch a couple of weeks back. Restaurant was fairly busy so we chose to eat in the pub which was quieter. They offer a good range of food from your full roast dinners to sandwiches. We chose a mixture of dishes from paninis to burgers all of which were accompanied with tasty homemade chips. Food arrived quickly and portion sizes were large. The quality of food is good and service was of a high standard. Definitely recommend for a quick bite to eat. Might try out the Sunday lunch sometime too
