Turk's Head 🇮🇪

You walk into what feels like a proper old Dublin chophouse - dark wood, brass fittings, and the kind of atmosphere that's been marinating since the Victorian era. The Turk's Head sits right on Parliament Street, and while Temple Bar swirls with tourist chaos outside, this spot maintains a bit of dignity with its traditional pub grub and decent pints. The menu leans heavily into hearty fare - think proper steaks, fish and chips that don't take the piss, and Sunday roasts that'll sort you right out. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel, just doing the classics without the inflated prices you'd expect for the postcode. The crowd's a decent mix of locals who know better and visitors who've stumbled onto something genuine. Fair play to them for keeping it real when they could easily phone it in.
