    Not a bad bar. Brought some American friends here last time I visited but should really have gone with the more tourist temple bar as the music was loud and could have been in any city in the world. Don't get me wrong, nice decor, upstairs for private function, live music or different style of music but if live band can sometimes be a charge. Long straight room so eye contact is easily attainable, can get busy and they should really remove some of the stools on these nights but no really big complaints overall. Gas fired lanterns outside a nice touch and arrive early to secure one of the booths/seating areas on your left as you walk in the door running down the length of the bar.

    Taking care of business at Blingo! #blingowings

    Really enjoyed the Blingo Wings night they had yesterday - chicken wings were gorgeous, and was a great crowd in a handy location! Will definitely be back on a more "normal" night to check it out!

    I enjoyed the short time i spent there. The bar is quite large with a few booths (filled on the evening with kissing couples!) and bar stools with lots of standing room in the middle for busy nights. There was a jazz band playing which was a nice touch and a nice change from the usual thumping loud music you find around Temple Bar.

    A nice bar with good DJ's and a casual atmosphere. A nice find for an evening out in Dublin. Less busy than many other places nearby.

    The upstairs is cool to hang in. There is plenty of seating, and the place is well taken care of. The bartender, Fion, is the best...such a cool guy and makes a great drink. The crowd is cool - very eclectic and fun. Everyone had a great time.

    The bar was cozy!

    Seems like a favorite with the Trinity crowd, but we always manage to score a comfy couch and kick back with a few drinks and enjoy great tunes.

    Let me preface this by saying I'm an old guy who loves dancing but doesn't go to clubs. I was on a…read moretour of Ireland and asked about dance venues and my Collette trip advisor name dropped Copper Face Jack's. I got there soon after it opened and I loved it. Loved the venue, loved the energy (although much of it was probably fueled by alcohol, I don't know- I'm part of the rare, lonesome breed who doesn't need alcohol to flail around like a maniac). Point is, the music selection was stuff you could dance to, so no complaints there. The DJ refused my request but I have weird taste so fair play. The bar staff kept me hydrated- they were on top of their game. I stuck around for two hours until there was literally no room left to dance due to the growing crowd. They wouldn't call a taxi for me which I guess is fine because so many cabs are already there, but there were other complications that weren't the club's fault so it's just me having a moan. All told? I'd definitely go again. If I ever come back to Dublin, anyway. Or Ireland in general.

    This may be the worst place I've ever been, but I highly recommend going. I somehow ended up at…read morethis shit-show of an establishment two days in a row while visiting Dublin (for two days...). This was a couple of years ago and we still tell stories of this place to this day. The place is straight raunchy. It's packed and people spill their drinks so much that they've hired a guy to consistently mop the floor, and the dude cuts through the dance floor with his mop like a hot knife through butter. Though I doubt this is helping the situation, since I saw someone collapse on the dance floor at least once every 30 minutes. I actually enjoyed the music. They had a live band play until midnight(?) and then had a DJ after that that played everything from Galway Girl to rap to Galway Girl to country to Galway Girl.... The crowd is mostly made up of young (university age) people walking around plastered with the deadest eyes you will ever come across in a living organism. Some of the best people watching, though; it's like the Walking Dead meets that Project X movie, but everyone is Irish. So, in sum, if you haven't been and are looking for a night to (partially) remember - go this place.

We walk around the corner and see a crowd of people out front. Ask the doorman if we can pop in for a drink. After a quick look over we get the A-OK to enter. Down a few steps on the left we head for a bar and quickly order our drinks. After a few, friendly words with other patrons we settle in and take a look around. This is going to be controversial, but I swear, this is what I saw for real. Not kidding, not exaggerating. For real. We are sitting to the side of the main bar. A bartender is pouring bottled water into a bottle of Jameson. Another employee came over and is talking to her while she is doing this. She 'squishes' the empty bottle, making that crushed plastic sound, before throwing it into the trash. Then she puts the pour spout back on top of the Jameson bottle and walks back into the main bar area. O.M.G. Really? Why me?! It is at this point I think to look at the Yelp reviews. Whoa. First thing I see is to the effect of 'my white friends got in, but not me'. Second thing I see is 'Asians not allowed'. Holy mackerel! My SO and I take a serious look around and O.M.G., no kidding, not one non-WASP in the joint! I feel dirty and disgusted. I have no idea that anyone in here has a clue of this fact, but now that it has been pointed out, it is so very clear. We left just as fast as we could. I will never return.

    My sore head today is a reflection of this place's cheap cocktails. 5 euros a pop before midnight,…read moreyou can't beat that! Great cocktail menu, the bartender I dealt with was charming, he even deviated from the menu to do my favourite cocktail. It's moderately sized, interior is modern, comfy couches. Music is chart, the DJ was abit too volume happy so we had to shout to talk and then we gave up and just focused on drinking the cocktails. At one point I thought I was at convention celebrating the show Sex & The City which then shifted to me thinking I was in a lesbian bar. It was thronged with well done up young women and hardly any men. Boys if you want to score a chick, this is the place for you! Girls if you want to score a chick this also is the place for you but in a very Sex & The City hook up kinda way, that is they will be straight again the next morning. The only reason why I am giving it three stars is that it would not be my scene and the music is too loud but it's a great place to pre-game it with some cheap well made cocktails before hitting another spot.

Its interior is massive and very grandly outfitted, although after the initial 'wow' moment everything seems to take on a bit of a gaudy air. The 5 euro cocktails are fab, and they have drink specials most nights of the week, so this could be a place to go before you really go out. There is a nightclub here, but I can't vouch for its quality. Dandelion also has a very nice restaurant that is suitable for families. This place disappoints a little bit, after giving an amazing first impression, but maybe this is because everyone else in Dublin seems to just walk on by?

It's modern and trendy with plenty of room to mingle but it's not particularly atmospheric or memorable in spite of its 'boutique' claims. I can't imagine ever saying "I'll meet ye in Dandelion later", and I wonder if it has any kind of a regular crowd. That said, €5 for a cocktail in the heart of Dublin is not a bad deal and currently Dandelion are offering to pay the 21.5% VAT on all drinks Monday-Friday, bringing the cost of a pint down to a cool €4.30. Whatever I may say about Dandelion, you'll not get a better deal on the Green and I saw a tanned, chiselled young man handing out flyers to this affect just the other day! We bolted however after about two hours and Dandelion left no great impression except a brief ponder over the wisdom of naming your 'boutique' club after a weed.
