I know what you're thinking: tapas in Dublin?? Believe me, you need these in your life!…read more Bringing Spanish culture to the heart of Dublin and doing a great job in the process. Vanessa (one of the owners) is there helping you out and welcoming you as if you're family. Lovely atmosphere, honestly. We ordered these tapas for a party of two: chicharrones, chorizo frito y morcilla, carrillada de cerdo (pork cheeks), bomba de la Barcelona, and patatas bravas. I can't pick a favorite (but the pork cheeks, and the chorizo are up there!), but every tapa was incredible and well executed. Take your time, be adventurous, and explore the menu. Portions are small enough that you can order many things to share. Paired the tapas with a wonderful Tempranillo, and a Cava Sangria. They did start us with a free sample of their tinto de verano as well, in true Spanish fashion. Definitely worth visiting while in Dublin!

The food options were unique in that everything on the menu are appetizers....everything!

I'm definitely making this a "must" on my next visit!

We were fortunate to experience Le Basement during our time in Dublin…read more It's located on the second floor of a restaurant in a small office sized room with a bar, sofa seats, and a few dining tables. When we came they had a band already playing. It was honestly like an American jam sess where people can come up and sing and perhaps play if the request is honored. My husband asked the guitarist if he could join and the guitarist was gracious enough to loan him his guitar and pick as we are foreigners and didn't pack his guitar for our trip. He was able to play for about three songs and it was amazing to see the two cultures mix and mingle on stage. You could tell that the vibe changed throwing him in the mix. I would imagine this magical mix occurs each time they invite any unique talent that visits Le Basement. The drinks were inexpensive, the environment was welcoming, and the music was soulful.

A hidden gem in the heart of Dublin's nightlife, and what a great discovery! Located on Dame Lane…read morejust across from the popular 4 Dame Lane, Le Basement offers a unique evening experience for Dublin. Presented in a similar style to the famous Parisian Jazz clubs, you descend the stairs to a small and atmospheric room with soft lighting and comfortable leather seating. There is decent quality beer on tap and array of the usual alcohol options available with a decent looking menu if you fancy a bite to eat (although I did not). Most evenings around the weekend there is a live Jazz act and, on the night I was there, we had a delightful lady singer with a fantastic voice and a great support band. Table service is available and the staff are friendly and prompt. There is a cover charge ranging from €5 to €8 depending on who is playing. Le Basement is part of Le Cirk - a hotel/bar on Dame Street. If you are looking for a romantic spot to take your partner or just a place to appreciate some quality jazz tunes, then look no further. I highly recommend Le Basement.

It's a fine option if you're in a pinch, but there are so many other great restaurants in the area that I wouldn't prioritize this spot. Staff was very friendly though.

Tapas Near Temple Bar!…read more This is an excellent change of pace just up from the noisiest parts of Temple Bar. The cheeses were the best of the tapas we chose.
