Loose Cannon is a small but quaint natural wine shop right in the middle of the action in Dublin…read more It's located next to George's Street Arcade which is like a big hall with a bunch of vendors, making this the perfect place to stop before or after doing some shopping/sightseeing. As others have commented, this place is small and has limited seating inside. There's also a few tables located outside on the street and in the open air market of George's Street Arcade. I got lucky and snagged a seat as another party was leaving. It's first come first serve seating so I imagine, with a bigger party, it may be hard to grab a seat. One of the staff members helped me pick out a glass of wine that was PERFECT for me. He asked me what flavor profile I liked and picked out a beautiful effervescent, juicy, red. I also ordered a ham and cheese toastie which was the perfect snack to hold me over before dinner and the two paired well together. This place is definitely trendy and hip so the prices reflect that but I think it's worth the visit.

Aesthetically speaking, this place is small but incredibly cute and great for people watching…read more There's a good wine selection but I did find the prices by glass a bit expensive for the amount of wine you get.

This is definitely a great spot to hang out, but definitely make a reservation for dinner.

Daughter got the creamy vegetable soup and chips. She loved it but couldn't even finish half.

Way more chill than anything in the Temple Bar area. Food is served late so this is a great spot close to Trinity College. The atmosphere is laid back, the location is spacious, and the interior is super trendy - full of art and good vibes. They have a pool room and TVs to catch the latest game. The portions are large and reasonably priced - we shared everything. I'm super picky when it comes to fish so its not in my nature to order it, but since he wanted to try it, I gave in... turns out the seafood chowder was one of my faves. So much flavor!!! The goat cheese salad was the perfect accompaniment, and we couldn't leave without trying the curry fries. Now on to the cocktails...they have a great happy hour and the mixologist definitely knows how to shake up the perfect drink. I love when you can tell a bartender your favorite flavors and they mix you a custom libation! The entire staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this spot and will gladly return next time I'm in Dublin.

All outside seating was taken but we were able to sit at a table by the window which was a great compromise! I got the gluten free fried chicken sandwich with the hot honey and slaw... dang this was so good. The chicken was crispy and there was a whole lot of it. The bun was soft and didn't crumble in my hands, a big win. The Asian flavors were well pronounced and really hit the spot. I ate the whole thing... and it's a large sandwich. My dad got the same but hot sauce blue cheese mayo combo and greatly enjoyed it. My mom got the regular vegan burger and thought it was one of the best meals so far in Dublin. My boyfriend and sister got the chipotle mayo chicken tenders and also raved about them... they looked bomb and I'm sad I couldn't try! We also got an order of krewe fries for the table (no crispy onions), and one order was sufficient for all of us since the mains were quite large! The fries were crisp and not greasy and the chipotle aioli smacked. The server was so nice and brought out a free beignet bowl for us (which my dad and I couldn't eat) but the rest ate up quite happily. I did try the caramel sauce and yummm. Highly recommend !!

I will yearn for their Mirage 9Below- their riff on an Old Fashioned-probably forever. And their terrific staff! Real standouts in the industry. A special shout out to one of their masters behind the bar, Connor; easily the best barman in Dublin...maybe the world.

The entire joint was booked out, including the bar seats. Disappointed, we left & found another cocktail bar within walking distance. Out of curiosity, we checked out the 9 Below Open Table, & saw that there was availability in just over an hour. We decided to book 2 spots & wait it out. When we returned, the host remembered us & remembered that we prefer to sit at the bar. They showed us to our reserved spots - at the bar! We first admired the interior. Underground! Somehow low-lit, archaic, well-lit, & modern, all at the same time. Lively but not noisy pop music was playing - Dua Lipa, etc. The actual physical menu was so cool. It was a beautifully designed picture-book inspired menu, with each cocktail having its own separate & artful page. I'm looking back on the menu & I think the drink I ordered was "Fight Club" (Don Julio Blanco, mango, Falernum, camomile, lemon, & sugar) & it was phenomenal. The bartender scorched a hot pepper & carefully placed it on top, which MADE the drink. He also made my partner a Paper Plane with Scotch. Delicious. Speaking of the bartender, he was a real champion. Such a nice guy with a bit of flair to his style of bartending. We really enjoyed chit chatting with him. It also seemed like the staff really vibed with each other & everyone was having a good time. Great atmosphere. The next time we're back in Dublin we will definitely be back to 9 Below Bar.

The server was quite attentive and provides clarity on a number of items This is not a "irish" menu. It's a creative menu featuring Irish ingredients. Starters were the Beetroot Salad and the Sourdough Bread. The former was all fresh veg. The latter griddled and served with a sun dried tomato butter. High Level stuff I had the fish if the day Blow Torched Cod with clams served over a parsnip emulsion and with a bier blanc sauce. Absolutely spot on. King scallops and polenta fries were paired for another main. It was very good with a pesto sauce. Also on the table was the Cauliflower Steak, the vegetarian option, it was reportedly good but not too filling. Don't get me wrong, vegetarian and vegans have strong options here. Lastly, the burger and chips were on the table. They disappeared quickly. High Marks for this place

We have had good food all week, and were wondering if we should try an Italian restaurant in Ireland. Well, this place which serves Sardinian food, is a gem. There are no other restaurants I near the hotel, but, of course, the hotel does have a restaurant. We ate there last night, but our server literally disappeared and left us without checking out and I gen the staff could not find him. We wanted to eat somewhere else, and the food was fantastic. Yummy, hearty, flavorful, and as the menu said, with a Sardinian twist. We have never tried Sardinian food and we were not disappointed. Hubby had lasagna, and the sauce was definitely a gravy. I had the bus atino which was creamy without being moist and swimming in a sauce. The staff was super friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

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!
