A few familiar faces on four legs🐾

The Merrion Inn is dog-friendly in the pub, and we’re always happy to see a good doggie mix coming through the door.

After a walk, before dinner, or just because they’re part of the gang, well-behaved dogs are very welcome to settle in beside the table.

Real food and staff who make it easy.

One of our regular customers shared what she enjoys about gathering at The Merrion Inn, and it came down to two things we’re very glad to hear: accommodating staff and proper food🍽️

That means a lot to us, because those are the things that make a restaurant worth coming back to.

We are proud to serve great gluten free food!

The Merrion Inn is officially certified by the Coeliac Society of Ireland, which means there’s proper training, care and kitchen practice behind our gluten-free food🍽️

In plain English, it means the team understand cross-contamination, the kitchen follows clear procedures, and staff know how to talk guests through the menu properly.

For anyone who has to ask “is it really gluten-free?” before ordering, that matters.

What’s one thing that makes you feel more comfortable ordering gluten-free when eating out?
