We're seeking suggestions for a good, casual, mid-priced restaurant or pub in the Trinity College/St. Stephen's Green area where we could have dinner after traveling overnight and arriving mid-afternoon in Dublin. Ideally a place where a reservation would not be required. Any ideas would be welcome.
You might try the Workshop Gastropub off Georges Quay near Tara Street station. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Trinity and 15-20 mins from the park. Open 12-3 and 5-9. Good grub.
The Farm seems to fit your requirements. It's open 7 days a week from 12 noon until 10 PM.
We had lunch there one day and enjoyed it very much.

My husband and I had that exhausted traveler dinner at Brannigan's in Dublin after a recommendatoin by a bus driver taking a smoke break.. 9 Cathedral Street. Good prices. Local pub, waitress was very nice. Guinness Stew and veg was delicious, filling and comforting after a long travel day and no real meal all day. We went back on the tail end of our RS tour and ate there again---best fish and chips I had in Ireland.
Thank you for all your suggestions. I've made note of the Workshop and Brannigan's. I checked online and unfortunately The Farm closed early this year.
