147 Deli

Loved the Salmon Mayo & Rocket Sandwich and cappuccino. Servers were friendly and patient as I changed my mind a couple times. Would definitely go back.

The NYTimes did an article about sandwiches in Dublin fairly recently. 147 Deli was one of the restaurants mentioned in the article, specifically for their pulled pork sandwiches. I found myself famished and just a few minutes away from 147 Deli after ending a 1916 Rising tour at the Garden of Remembrance so I decided to give the pulled pork a try.
I am definitely happy I did! Wow — what a great sandwich and at a fantastic price. I had a hard time sticking to the pulled pork as my choice because so many of the other options sounded good, too. The bread was outstanding and packed to the brim with flavorful pork and tangy slaw. Even though it was huge I would have gladly taken down another.

147 Deli… Where have you been all my life?
This is currently my favourite sandwich spot in town, hands down! Great menu, just the right size with something for everybody! I’d recommend the Cheese Steak or the Reuben– both almost make my cry they’re so tasty! The soup changes on a daily basis too and seems really popular!
Dublin Doughnut Co supply the doughnuts, the last day I was in there they had a few snickers and crème brûlée left but by the time I got to the top of the queue they were all gone (devastated).
This place is always jammers so to avoid having to wait longer than necessary for your yummy sambo I’d advise going a little before or after lunch hour. It goes without saying that I’ll be back, I’m planning on working my way through the menu one delicious sandwich at a time!

Great place for lunch. It has a great vibe, always busy and the staff are really friendly.
All the sambos are delicious. DELICIOUS.
It’s always crazy busy at lunch time but they keep things moving really well.
Cool, hipster vibe but it fully lives up to its hype.

I’m still warming to this place. I tried the salmon sambo and found it a bit heavy and gloopy. I tried their ginger and carrot soup, wasn’t really impressed. It kind of tasted like it had been sitting there a while. I was hoping it would taste fresh, sweet and warming, what I got was savory, creamy, and a hum of spice with no carrot taste what so ever. Which is probably some peoples thing but it wasn’t for me.
The staff are always very welcoming and nice. I’ve never actually sat in there, seems like a nice vibe.
I’m going to try it again since I’m in college right around the corner, fingers crossed they blow me away.

Grease, delicious grease! Myself and my colleagues call 147’s sandwiches greasy sambos. Not the sickly, gross kind, oh no! The delicious, finger licking one. The lunch options around 147 are limited so it was a welcome addition and while they were super chaotic when they first opened, they have since worked out a system that keeps the sambos rolling. The staff are friendly and the café itself has a good vibe. The sandwiches are massive and they tend not to disappoint. They have a weekly special that’s usually worth trying. They also now sell Dublin Doughnut Company’s gems on Thursdays and Fridays! 147 is a brilliant spot for lunch north of the Liffey!

I love this place, has a funky atmosphere, always great music playing, the staff are super nice and the smells as you walk in the door are just amazing!
They always have a weekly special sandwich and have a great menu of sandwiches served with a small side salad. All their meats are smoked on site and just melt in the mouth.
They also have different soups too and do special combos and on a huge nite, cater for gluten intolerance.
Expect a long queue at lunch time, but it’s well worth the wait!

The rating is for nothing else but the doughnuts! Dublin doughnut company doughnuts. So so good. Lemon meringue. € 2.95 for a doughnut is too expensive but this is great for a treat.
Light and fluffy doughnut, excellently balanced flavours in the filing.
This doughnut looks small but packs a punch. Yes.

Awesome awesome awesome food. I had the xmas leftover sandwich and it was way better than I anticipated. The crème they use is great. It is definitely a place I will go to again while I am in Dublin. Service was great as well!

One of the first places I visited for food in Dublin and I was not disappointed. Very fast service, original tastes, friendly staff, and great location. A short walk away from the business of shopping, but just far enough that you’re not fighting the hordes of hungry shoppers.
The ambience is coffee shop meets deli. Fun, upbeat music, an energetic crew, and a vibrant interior. You’re going to get your order much sooner than you’d think, so don’t plan on plugging in and waiting a while. Keep your area clear and your taste buds ready, because they’re about to get rocked.
While I’ve only had a chicken and a steak sandwich, I’ve been extremely happy with their products. Original flavors that actually use the bread to enhance overall taste. Nothing is too bold, everything complements each other, and the portion size is perfect. This is especially important, because if the sandwich were any larger, I’d have to eat it right then and there. Too tasty for its own good.

Only after hitting the 2 year mark in my adopted home of Dublin did I start to get mysterious pangs of longing for foods that I had completely taken for granted when I lived in the US. Among these items are things such as 1) really good doughnuts (which thank heavens are having a bit of a moment in Dublin right now) and 2) NYC deli-​style sandwiches that don’t skimp on flavor (not that I don’t appreciate a good chicken fillet roll).
My coworkers had been yammering on for weeks about the doughnuts here so I finally checked it out and while the doughnut (salted caramel, mmmm) was lovely, it was the ruben sandwich that really knocked my socks off. I’m the kind of stingy bastard who hates to spend their hard-​earned money on something as mundane as a sandwich, so if I’m splashing out on a sandwich (and yes I consider € 7.50 for some bread, meat, and condiments to be splashing out) it better deliver. This one was a real winner and by the next day I was already reminiscing about it longingly (and actually right now too).
I will say that in the future I will probably opt for takeaway as the seating area looks deceptively large in the Unilocal photos, and the place got pretty stuffy during the friday lunch rush. I also think they could improve the efficiency at the cash register if the guy taking your money wasn’t also making sandwiches because it seemed a bit frantic and disorganized.
Overall, I heartily endorse spending your hard-​earned cash here, you won’t regret it.

147 Deli, absolutely amazing! I’m going to be a regular here for their doughnuts alone, never mind their sandwiches!
Hipster?, sure!, whatever! I don’t really take any notice of this nonsense term! All I know is the staff here were sound out. Really genuine, happy, pleasant, friendly people. The crowd, a nice mixture, different ages, a work crowd, tourists, hipsters I suppose, to use the term!, regular folk like moi!
It was lunchtime, the place was jammed, I thought I’d never get a seat but the staff are very efficient and turnover is quick. A lot seem to opt for take out, getting a seat wasn’t a prob even during this busy period. Really cool, modern interior, plenty of seating, on the right, a huge map of Dublin with a counter top the length of the wall with lots of colourful high chairs. Tables, chairs with cushions in the back, really contemporary and comfy. Overall there is a great vibe in the place with cool, funky music. It puts you in great form!
So anyway, for my sandwich I could have tried them all and in time I will but first time here I opted for the 147 Reuben, corned beef, saurkraut, dill pickles, swiss cheese and homemade Russian dressing on multiseed bread. Absolutely delicious! I tried one of their doughnuts too, fantastic. Really unique, inventive fillings. The only thing is because they are so delicious and inviting they seem to sell out quickly. There was only like 3 left and it wasn’t even 1pm! I managed to secure one though, passionfruit filling methinks if my recollection is correct. Gorgeous. I’m going to go earlier next time!
In conclusion! 147 Deli, 5 stars all day long. And it’s great to see it on this side of the city too!

Love this place. Had their baps to go several times before and today me and my partner decided to have it in. Really chilled atmosphere, staff is lovely too but the best thing is their food. Tried several of their baps and wraps and my favourite by far are the sausage and bacon and the veggie wrap. Really mouthwatering. The prices are excellent too. Would definitely recommend this places whether you are looking for a sandwich to go or just want to enjoy it in.

The sandwiches here live up to there reputation. I got the BBQ pork and it was soooo good. They were just closing as I arrived so I got it to go. Will definitely be back to try more of the offerings. Only got a quick look around, 147 Deli looks great and has a really cool vibe.

The sandwiches here are amazing. So far I’ve tried the bbq pulled pork and the 147 steak. The pork oozed everywhere but so what? That’s what napkins are for! Oh and as for the 147 steak. It wouldn’t be out of place in an NYC deli.
The sandwiches are so fresh and just nom! You can tell that time is spent on the prep and they certainly getting the best flavour out of the ingredients.
Yes this hipster place isn’t exactly in the nicest part of town but please don’t let this put you off trying here you’re looking for somewhere to grab a great sandwich!

What a great deli place in the North City Centre! Slightly off my hunting ground but well worth the extra 10min walk.
Friendly staff, cool artwork and what am I forgetting??? Oh yes of course: the sandwiches! Yum, yum, yum. First of all, it was hard to choose. Everything sounded equally as nice as the next one on the menu so I picked the one that I was least likely to make myself at home: the Reuben. Oh, you should try it. The dark rye bread brought back childhood memories (in a good way), it was nicely toasted and filled to almost burger size with all things Reuben like pastrami and sauerkraut. Very very delish indeed!

I can say the coffee is great, I sure will come back for all those good-​looking sandwiches. The staff is very nice!

Moved it up to a 5. Great sambo’s good honest coffee. Price is acceptable, staff are great and friendly.
Get the rare steak lightly toasted…

Ok so, we know the basics already:
— The food is exceptional. Those sandwiches. They are so. Freaking. Good. Amazing ingredients, perfectly cooked, classic and unusual combinations, and they’re just the right size. Goldilocks sambos if you will.
— It’s arguably the first ‘hipster’ or ‘cooler’ spot to open up around the Parnell St area, and is a welcome addition at that.
What I didn’t realise is that it’s chock full of friendly, good-​mood inducing staff. We were greeted by each of them as we came in, but before you think it, not in an inane brainwashed Abercrombie & Fitch type way. They all look as if they genuinely love to work there, and the atmosphere created by them is infectious.
If I owned a sandwich shop, this is what I’d want it to look like, and these are the staff I’d want to be in it. This will without a doubt be a regular haunt for me from now on. Gwan the 147.

I’m not sure what Parnell Street was originally known for, but nowadays it’s Asian Restaurants and bus stops. Thankfully this little GEM breaks that mould.
All the food is fresh and what’s on offer is constantly changing. Meaning you can go loads and loads and never be bored! Thankfully they keep the favourites on a set menu though, so you can revisit them when the time calls for a meatball sub!
Atmosphere at lunch time is especially nice, buzzy but not crazy busy. Plenty of seats and excellent music round this spot off nicely.

El lugar es divino! El staff es muy atento y simpáticos! Riquísimo café latte y pain of chocolate! Por suerte lo descubrimos el primer día en Dublín y nos hicimos clientes por el resto de nuestra estadía!
