57 the headline

this is a great spot if you love craft beers and a hearty meal. the person i went with felt themenuwas limited, however i think they went for quality over quantity. they also reccommend drinks to match each meal - which helps greatly in picking from the huge selection. staff knew their stuff too, and service was quick. highlight was the bag of jellies we got at the end!

even though the restaurant was empty on a wednesday night, the room still felt like it had a nice atmosphere. the music was loud enough without being overbearing with a nice mix of songs, while every table was neatly set.
even though themenuis quite small, some of the options jump out at you. for me it was the cider braised pork shoulder and quail breast and leg starter.
the starter was tasty but a little small, and with a bit too much barley
the pork main was pretty dry and needed every bit of the apple jam. the pork and mustard croquette was lovely and the dish could've done with another one or two of these.
i have to give credit to our waitress who was lovely, attentive and always on hand without seeming intrusive.
the excellent selection of craft beers is notable too, with the bar offering tasting menus too.
although the overall experience was good, i don't think the price reflected the result. €70 for two main dishes, two starters, a side of chips, glass of wine and one pint seems too much for this establishment.
i would go back, but only to avail of their excellent early bird offer

we went here for dinner on a wednesday night and it was only ourselves and another couple but it really didn't phase us because the atmosphere was so nice! set above the headline bar, this restaurant looks out onto the busy harold's cross crossroads. we had the pick of all the seats in the place so picked a window seat and there was a lovely radiator at our feet to keep us toasty! the music and atmosphere of the place was lovely and although there were only 4 people there at the time we didn't beat the others conversation once, it was as if the place was nicely full!
the waitress was just lovely, she was so friendly and accommodating. my boyfriend wanted to order a starter and i wasn't too pushed on the selection so she told me i could order from the downstairs pubmenuif anything there appealed to me more. i ordered the wings to start and they were so refreshing. they came in a lemon, honey and thyme glaze and there were the perfect amount of them! my boyfriend started with the quail breast and really enjoyed it.
for mains i opted for the 10oz ribeye with green beans, chips and a peppercorn sauce while he went for the cider braised pork shoulder. it wasn't the best steak i've ever had and definitely needed much more seasoning but the portion was huge so i was happy! my boyfriend really enjoyed the pork and ordered an extra side of chips as his main was quite small. afterwards we were absolutely stuffed so we couldn't even look at desserts!
overall we had a lovely experience here- only negatives i would really note would be the size of themenu(4 starter options, 5 mains) but then again you could always order something from the downstairs bar menu, and the second thing i would note would be the price. we had 2 starters, 2 mains with 1 additional side and i had 1 glass of wine while my boyfriend opted for a craft beer (they've loads of craft beers and he was really impressed with the variety) and this came to about 70.. it was lovely and i'll definitely go back again, but just a little overpriced!
our waitress was such a lovely woman as well and made every effort to serve us without being too in your face- we got some lovely love heart sweets with our bill too so we were delighted.

a few years back, the headline didn't have a great name for itself... not so any more! great vibe in this place. the foodmenulooks great, but unfortunately, there are no gluten free markings on there so haven't been able to sample their wares in the food dept.

the headline is hands down the best irish craft beer pub in dublin. they've got 24 taps with a rotational offering of the best irish craft beer on the market, which makes this the spot for trying out the latest and greatest in the beer world. their foodmenuis also full of wondrous offerings from kimchi pulled pork to turkish lamb meatballs, themenuis simply inspired. can't recommend this place enough. top drawer!
