• Gastro Pub • Dame Street
Booked 6 times today
The Bleeding Horse is a historically significant public house located in Upper Camden Street, Dublin, Ireland. It dates at least back to the 17th century, and was located on St. Kevin’s Port (now Camden St.) at the junction of two important highways leading out of the city.On one side was Charlotte St., leading to Ranelagh and Donnybrook; on the other side was Old Camden St., which joined Richmond St. and led to Rathmines and Cullenswood. Both of these old streets disappeared during the renovations in the 1990s. The present building dates from 1871; the interior was renovated in 1992.There are (at least) two explanations for the name. One is that when a horse got the “staggers” it was bled by a farrier at the inn. Another is that the name of the pub comes from an incident during the Battle of Rathmines in 1649, when a wounded horse fled from the battle.

    Everything we had was amazing. I have coeliacs and they were knowledgeable about gluten free options and conscious about marking allergies on our order. Would definitely go back!

    If you’re looking for a dining experience that truly stands out, look no further than Mama Yo Chinese Restaurant. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service that immediately makes you feel at home. The staff are not only friendly but also highly attentive, ensuring every aspect of your meal is perfect. The atmosphere is nothing short of outstanding. The interior design is beautifully curated, blending traditional Chinese elements with modern elegance, creating a space that’s both inviting and visually stunning. Whether you’re dining with family, friends, or a special someone, the ambiance at Mama Yo is ideal for any occasion. But the true star of the show is, of course, the food. The menu is a masterpiece, offering a variety of exquisite dishes that are bursting with flavor and prepared with the finest ingredients. While everything we tried was fantastic, the Lemon Chicken deserves a special mention. Perfectly cooked and coated in a tangy, sweet glaze, it was hands down the best dish of the evening. Mama Yo Chinese Restaurant is the perfect blend of excellent service, exquisite cuisine, and an outstanding atmosphere. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. Highly recommended!
