GAFFE FAQs

What is GAFFE?

GAFFE is the chef-led kitchen at Leonard's Corner. Led by Dan Chambers, it serves seasonal bistro food in the relaxed setting of a proper Irish pub.

What makes GAFFE different?

GAFFE is a bistro in a pub. It's not a gastropub, a restaurant or even pub grub, really. It's thoughtful, seasonal food served in a proper neighbourhood pub. Come for dinner, a pint or both.

Where can I see the current menu?

Our latest menus are available on Instagram at @leonardscorner.

Can I just call in for a pint?

Absolutely. Leonard's Corner will always be a pub first and foremost. GAFFE operates from one part of the pub, so there's always space to call in for a pint. No booking required.

Where is GAFFE?

GAFFE is located inside Leonard's Corner in Dublin 8. There is no separate entrance.

Do I need to book?

Bookings are recommended, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings, but walk-ins are always welcome and we'll always do our best to fit you in.
