The servers were very friendly and attentive. The service was fast as well! I ordered a martini which was a great cocktail, not too sweet with a lot of passion fruit. I had the vegetable soup which came out piping hot and was a great starter. I ordered the chicken sandwich that was on special that day. The chicken was fried perfectly and was tender and juicy. The fries were seasoned well and had a nice bite to them. I ended with the sticky toffee sundae which was huge! The portions here are generous and items could easily be split between two people. They have a very extensive menu, including many vegan options! There is something for everyone here. They have their own parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking or a parking garage. This was a great stop while I was staying in Naas. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

I was pretty excited to hear about Oak Alley opening up. A new Orleans restaurant with hipster…read morebearded waiters, jambalaya dishes and cocktails served in jars is something you would expect to find in South William St, Dublin, not a town in Kildare. The decor is shiny and new as you would expect but the food is the real talking point here. It's different and absolutely delicious. We went for the early bird menu which was €18 for 2 courses. There is an option for a 3rd but the portions were so large we couldn't fit any more in. Well, except for cocktails that was. The upstairs bar is a great place for pre or after dinner drinks and the menu is extensive but kinda expensive. Go for the 2 for €12 euro deal served up to 7.30 if you are on a budget. Oak Alley is a great addition to the already thriving restaurant scene in Maynooth. Like a lot of people I was unsure if New Orleans in Kildare would work, but it most definitely does.

The sweet potato curry is really good, I never usually get curries out but ordered this on a whim. Jack Daniel Chicken wings are delicious and the calamari is always one of my favourites and I don't believe it is too chewy. Their cocktails are top class, not just some alcohol put into a blender. The Ramon Gin Fizz is a nice one to have after dinner as its fresh and citrusy. YUM! I'd also suggest the Espresso Martini Service is good and all staff are very pleasant. Early bird menu has 3 courses for 23EUR or 2 for 18EUR which is good value considering starters are 7-10EUR and mains 17-30EUR.

Maybe one of the swankiest bars in all of Dublin, with a friendly staff, to boot. The interior is…read moregorgeous and cozy, regardless of where you're sitting, and there's plenty of space to go around; which doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't get cramped during the busier hours. I'm not much of a beer drinker as I've always been more of a cocktails girl, but even then, the staff was able to find me the perfect beer on tap to satisfy my sweet tooth. In case you're interested, it was the Salted Caramel beer- porter or stout, I don't remember- by a company called 'White Hag.' A bit on the sweeter side, but it still retains a wonderful balance. And, yes, Guinness is all the rage here, too. Prices are fair, and probably the same everywhere, so the only thing that sets this place apart from the rest is the ambiance and the selection. And yes, I'd say they have some of the best.

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 bar was incredible! The bartenders were so kind and made this intimate experience so fun…read more My husband and I learned about Irish moonshine and Bar 1661 is the place to go. This bar does a great job of creating unique and delicious drinks using Irish moonshine. Once we sat at the bar we were given welcome drinks which had a clarified liquor in it. My husband and I love clarified alcohol! It gives you the flavor of the alcohol but removes the sediments that give you a hangover. We don't find this too often since the process takes 24 hours. This was such a nice start to our experience. After our welcome drinks, I started off with the Belfast coffee, which is the most popular drink. We tried a handful of drinks. The menu has a dedicated page to each cocktail. If you need help, the bartenders are more than willing to help you. There are snacks if you need something with your drinks too.

We were lucky enough to get a table that was open but we only had 45 mins with it until the next reservation came in... they must have been late because the hostess let us stay for just over an hour. The Noms (drinks): we had 2-3 each and they were all so good. Way easier on the wallet than the drinks in NYC. Easily could have ended up paying $35 each but it was very reasonably priced. In conclusion: definitely a cute date night spot or a place to meet up with friends.. or a new friend. Try to make reservations if you can... if I had more time I would have liked to try some of the food menu items

It feels a bit weird writing a public review of a secret spot...but I can't gatekeep this spot!…read more The Blind Pig Speakeasy was one of our favorite spots while in Ireland, and it ranks high on our list for several reasons! They are situated in the base of a sister restaurant, so from the main entrance the only give away is the neon "shhh" sign that sits over the stairway. Once at the base of the stairs an unassuming bookcase/shelf appears. This honestly got us, as we had no clue this was the entrance at first. We wandered around and into the bathrooms expecting some cool bathroom stall entrance. It wasn't until someone came out from behind the bookcase that we figured it out! We did let the "door" close and played with the art on the wall, including the bronze pig head, which turned out to be the hidden lever! Legit already wowed before entering! Upon entry, you are legit transported into a small speakeasy with a few high tops, a cozy bar and a small dining room beyond the second archway. The walls are stone, the lighting is dim and moody, the woods are heavy, and the vibes are immaculate! We sampled a few house-made cocktails, got an appetizer and a few main dishes. Spent a total of close to 2 hours, which is standard and actually timed. Which makes sense and I like, it keeps things moving, on time and allows plenty of time to soak it all in! The Jolly Roger and Espresso Martini were my cocktails for the night. There was a clear theme with both, as stout and espresso were highlights in both. For the app, we went with the fritto misto, which is a combination of fried cheese and veggies. Our mains were both pasta dishes. They were light and simple, yet complex and robust. They were tasty and impressive! Service was stellar from entry to exit. The host's, bartenders and our server were all top notch, friendly, helpful and a joy to interact with! Oh, I do highly recommend reservations! They are a small and very in demand spot, so trying to walk-in is a bit risky. Overall, we absolutely loved our evening at The Blind Pig! It was one of our best times and meals on our trip around Ireland...memorable for all the right reasons!

The two connecting dining rooms are amazing and cozy, with a big bar counter at the back, wine racks and a huge assortment of whimsical objects or artwork around the place. Upstairs there's a terrace where you can fully enjoy their tapas menu and maybe even go for a cocktail. There's a set dishes menu, a smaller tapas menu and also the specials of the day, written on a big blackboard - that our hostess kindly perched on a chair in front of our table, improptu style. In both fixed menus there are many vegetarian and/or gluten free options. The wine list was interesting enough, though not perfect. I managed to find a beautiful spanish Verdejo there, so that must count for something. We were served delicious food and the only thing I can point is that my vegetarian stuffed zucchini had a bit too much cheese, but other than that everything was good and their special of the day, salmon, was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately we were both too full to try the desserts, but at least we got to to wrap our lunch up with a nice espresso.
