Temple Bar

This is a true speakeasy, which is really hard to come by. It's suggested to make a reservation…read morebecause they fill up quickly. We visited twice, and the first time was on a Wednesday night. They were able to accommodate us mid-week without a reservation, but Friday night we made one to come back. There were gobs of people waiting to get in so we're glad we did! The entrance is very non-descript. It's an ugly grey metal door with VCC randomly applied, so if you didn't know what was there it would look industrial. There is a door bell to the left of the door. Ring it a few times and someone will open the door and check you in. With reservations they do make you wait until exactly that time so don't be alarmed. Your table is already selected for you. The inside is loungy and very swanky. Both times we had extremely comfortable chairs. Service is immaculate. Their menu is massive, very well published and explained. Our servers were both able to explain exactly what the cocktail may taste like as some of the combos might blow your mind. I had the Dirty Wizard which sounds odd on based on ingredients but was delicious. I also had the Purple Pearl which was my perfect cocktail. My husband tried a few different whiskey concoctions and he was impressed by all of them. I highly recommend adding VCC to your Dublin itinerary!

This place is great! As someone who doesn't really drink alcohol, I get nervous coming to places…read morelike this and asking for mocktails because I worry about being viewed as annoying for changing their drinks but I did not feel that way here. Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive! The entire menu was so interesting to read and they seemed to have a very wide variety of drinks. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Dublin and like speakeasies and cool drinks!

Shisha is a pipe-type instrument which you smoke tobacco mixed with water. It is completely legal…read morewhich I wanted to put out there first and foremost. It was the biggest sticking point for me before I went and I took more than my fair share of persuasion before I went. On my first and last visit, I was with friends who have frequented the place more than once so I followed behind them and did as they did. It's really not the sort of place I would ever visit again. You can bring your own alcohol which makes it more bearable. However, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable throughout it as it just is not my sort of thing. Ironically Shisha is meant to help you relax. For some people, this is the perfect place to go and chill out and for that reason you are welcome to it. I would rather a pub and a club to loosen myself up. It can often be over used but this is the epitome of 'you'll like it if it's your sort of thing'. It's not mine and I really did not enjoy it.

Shisha is something I first tried whilst lazing around Camden market when I lived in London. I…read moreloved it, so when this place opened I jumped right in. It's bring your own which makes it quite cheap as well and because it's Shisha, it can be smoked inside, which is very convenient. On the night we went there was an acoustic session going on which added to the very chilled out atmosphere. Apparently it's been having some licensing issues but hopefully that can be sorted out. It's a great place to chill at lunch or for a night out.

What a truly delightful pub packed with friendly customers and great staff. This gem is nestled…read moreamong residential homes on Hill street on the south side of the town on what used to be the main Belfast to Dublin road. I believe the red brick residential houses were owned by the railway over 100 years ago to accommodate the railway workers so the pub was and is integral to generations of a hard working community. It also has an off licence at the side of the building so it's a substantial property. We by passed the bar in favour of a very comfy extensive lounge area leading out to an open air beer & barbecue garden. testament to hope over experience in our rain filled island. The beer was good. I had draught peroni (€4.30) my wife opted for her usual Jameson. As it happened our visit coincide with what was to be Ireland's last euro football game but this wasn't our reason for being here. In fact when we arrived there was only a few locals but as the match time grew near it filled up. I sat in a comfortable chair and I could see two football screens, one to my right the other to my left. I'm not much interested in sport and I can take or leave football and I usually leave it but the locals created one heck of an enjoyable fun atmosphere as Ireland took the lead and eventually lost it. I will end this review by telling you about the generous spirit of the owners. They had laid on free food barbecued meats including chicken breast, beef burgers, pork sausages, chunks of bacon and chips with a range of salads, slaws and breads. We were complete strangers. Never there before yet the attitude was help yourself don't be shy (which proves the didn't know me from Adam) and the food was delicious too. Worth a visit of your passing.
