Best Rooftop Bars in Temple Bar
"The sister restaurant to the Rustic Stone, Fade Street Social is another critically acclaimed gastronomic gem. Fade Street Social consists of a restaurant, a tapas and gastro bar, and a cocktail winter garden. The menu is created from a number of culinary influences, from Irish to more international fare."
"Fade Street Social is celebrity chef Dylan McGrath’s baby and it was voted Best Restaurant in Dublin by TripAdvisor readers. That should come as no surprise. We like it because it’s informal and relaxed but with really great food – and it’s got an interesting name."
"This charming back-to-basics restaurant promotes the use of homegrown, local produce. Its menu adapts to reflect seasonality, and food is presented in an uncomplicated way which emphasises its freshness, quality, and delicious taste."
"This garden BBQ style restaurant, located in an old carpark on Clanbrassil Street, has wooden pallet furniture and colourful bunting aplenty. This year they’ve added a seafood shack (Sharkbait Shelby’s) and delicious woodfired pizza from The Big Blue Bus, with more food stalls to announced over the next few weeks. Go for the food, stay for the party atmosphere and hand-rolled ice-cream."
"Located on a buzzy pedestrianised cobblestone street in Dublin’s stylish Creative Quarter, Coppinger Row is well regarded as one of the coolest and most stylish dining experiences in the city. A favourite of visiting celebrities and locals alike.Coppinger Row is known for delivering consistently...See More"
"Order any type of cocktail (or three) you desire and get stuck into their epic menu. And if you're not in the mood for a full meal, just share a cheese and / meat board with a nice bottle of white."
"Café en Seine is a contemporary Parisian corner of Dublin spread across three stories with a quirky outdoor drinking and dining area that's sure provide plenty of Insta opportunities. Combining enticing food and drink with regular entertainment, this restaurant bar is always popping off."
"Evenings at Café en Seine consist primarily of sipping cocktails in Instagram-worthy interiors, watching live entertainment such as theatre or music, and stuffing your face with elegant French cuisine."
"A post shared by Camden Bites and Brews (@camdenbitesandbrews). This brilliant beer garden is an awesome spot to enjoy a burger or fish and chips and a beer."
"The team behind Lucky’s on Meath Street has decided to bring a cool new venue to the other side of Dublin 8. Named The Circular, the exciting new bar and cafe has taken over a large, landmark building in Rialto and will include a number of spaces: a main bar, which will offer a number of reservable spaces and function rooms as well as tasty pizza from Coke Lane’s wood-fired oven (already a success amongst Lucky’s clientèle), a smaller, cosier pub with a craft beer focus, and a café, called Daddy’s, at the front of the building. “Daddy's will be a daytime cafe with a neighbourhood focus."
"It's cosy, with shelves of books should you wish to spend an afternoon drinking Guinness and slowly becoming unable to read coherently. The upstairs also plays host to the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club and some of Dublin's best-loved comedians will sometimes put on impromptu shows upstairs. Good drink selection, great music and an excellent atmosphere, Anseo is definitely worth settling down in for a pint or two."
"Kennedy’s established in 1850 has long since maintained an honourable standing amongst the elite of Dublin’s watering holes. It once provided more than a sumptuous pint for the residents of Westland Row and Merrion Square as the front part of the establishment used to be a grocery shop. A shop where young Oscar Wilde earned his first shilling stacking the shelves on Saturday afternoon."
"Kennedys Bar is one of Dublin's oldest pubs located in the very centre of the city, minutes walk from Trinity College. Kennedy's has an extensive food menu and hosts live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights."
"The Queen of Tarts is so good they have two venues one in the heart of Temple Bar on Cow's Lane and the original branch on Dame Street. Sisters Regina and Yvonne Fallon took their experience working as pastry chefs in New York and opened a haven for sugar junkies and coffee lovers alike. Their coffee is freshly ground Lavazza and some of their delicious sweet concoctions include Bailey's chocolate chip cheesecake, tangy lemon meringue tart and warm plum tart - something to suit everyone's tastes."
"If you’re someone with a sweet tooth, then you’re going to want to visit the Queen of Tarts bakery and café. You’ll be amazed at the sweet selection of breakfast and brunch items that are available to purchase. We are strong proponents of having cheesecake for breakfast — what could be more perfect than starting your day with a heavenly creamy slice of Bailey’s cheesecake?"
"Cakes, scones, tarts, brownies - everything that you dream of when you've got a cup of tea in hand. They also make some deadly baked eggs."
"Really friendly tolerant staff, well used to kids wandering around. They have a great atmosphere, and plenty of choice for everybody with a massive menu – better again, with outlets in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Dundrum and Blanchardstown and a few dotted around the city centre, they're a solid option wherever you happen to be."
"Ranging over four floors on the western edge of Temple Bar, this pub began flying the microbrewery flag over 10 years ago, and today it's still going strong. Come here for a range of excellent in-house Irish brews: from dark, velvety porters (try the Oyster Stout made, yes, with fresh oysters) to red ales (try the fruity Porterhouse Red). This place can be touristy and very packed: but still, well worth a visit."
"Porterhouse Central on Nassau Street is the 2nd Porterhouse location in Dublin. Thanks to being off Grafton Street just a little bit further from the heart of the nightlife action, it was much more chill than other pubs were on the same night I visited. I had the Celebration Stout, which had been created for the brewery’s 20th anniversary."
"Nutgrove Shopping Centre is an indoor shopping centre in Dublin. It has a range of stores including fashion, food, phones and more."
"Oolong Flower Power is the largest tea room of its kind in Ireland, with over 250 different types of tea and 40 coffees. A variety of non-dairy milk is available on request. Whether you’re getting your caffeine fix on your lunch break or you want to spend an evening relaxing with friends."
