"It’s officially the time of year to sit out in the sun with great company and even better Cocktails!. Start the summer right by shaking it up with our wide range of cocktails. While our Press up venues are still waiting to welcome you all back inside, we have decided to bring the cocktails, pints and wine out to you."

"Ring an unassuming doorbell to discover one of Dublin's coolest cocktail joints. From focusing on the ice, spraying all sorts of fancy over the drinks and generally being awesome this is one of those places you HAVE to experience at least once in Dublin. The intimate setting makes it ideal for date night."

"Vintage Cocktail Club's rooftop bar area is one of Dublin's finest. Make your way through their menu of illicit vintage-inspired sips while cosying up under heaters or topping up the tan (weather depending, obvs) and soaking up the always-bustling atmosphere of this quirky bar."

"Simplicity itself, Bunsen is straight up Irish beef burgers. Think fat, juicy meat between two squishy buns, with fresh toppings and a secret sauce. Choose a single or double patty, add chips and a drink and you’re golden."

"Angelina's is a canal-side romantic restaurant in Dublin with plenty of character, flavour and Italian-inspired charm. Tuck into a menu that includes everything from maple glazed pork belly with brunch, to creamed leek gnocchi and delicious sausage pizzas for dinner."

"Why:Da Mimmo may be not be particularly central but it's well worth making the journey over to the North Strand simply to try the wonderful food on offer here. Although from the outside this cosy Italian might seem a little understated, the minimalist dining space provides the ideal ambience to enjoy dishes ranging from a wodge traditional hearty lasagne to wood-fired pizzas. This is also a particularly great spot for oenophiles thanks to the impressively long wine list that accompanies the food.Where: 148 North Strand Road, North Dock, D03 FK52"

"Da Mimmo is not exactly a tourist spot, and is considered by many to be one of Dublin’s best-kept secrets due to its familiar and cosy atmosphere. They serve large portions at affordable prices and both the pizzas and the pasta taste just like they would in Italy. Try the penne alla Norma with grated salted ricotta cheese and the pizza bianca with mozzarella cheese, Italian sausage, mushrooms, gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan."

"I’ve never been a fan of touristy Italian restaurants in Dublin (or anywhere else, for that matter). Which is why I try to opt for family-run restaurants located outside of tourist/office hotspots. This is why I’ve been returning to North Strand’s Da Mimmo time and time again (the food’s great too, of course!)."

"Flip, a vegan and vegetarian burger bar from the owners of Blazing Salads, is one of Dublin’s vegan hot spots. Their burgers, which include black bean and quinoa, millet and sweet potato, and a sweetcorn and feta fritter, are handmade using organic grains, pulses, vegetables and seeds. Don’t mind if we do!"

"If you’re used to pasta being served to you at your local restaurant from a strict menu, then Dall’Italia Pastabar will surely make you smile, for a change. Here, you create your own pasta!. The first step into making your pasta is choosing a one—from Tagliatelle to Macheroni Rigate."

"Why: Specialising specifically in the food of the Italian island or Sardinia, Wallace’s Asti offers something a little different to your average Italian restaurant. While the North Dublin restaurant does have pizzas and pasta on the menu, it’s the traditional Sardinian dishes, such as zuppa gallurese (bread baked in meat stock and pecorino cheese) and tuna speck, which are particularly worth trying. With an impressively lengthy wine list to boot, Wallace’s Asti is a perfect option for an evening of indulgence.Where: 15 Russell Street, Drumcondra, D01 VW02"

"The very unique Hang Dai is the best Chinese in Dublin for groups of friends looking for a bite to eat before a night on the town. An elegant spot located in the centre of Dublin on Camden Street, Hang Dai boasts a cheerful ambiance and is an ideal place to visit for a special occasion. They specialise in the apple wood-fired duck, but also serve other delectable dishes like steamed eggplant and asparagus spring rolls."

"This authentic Asian restaurant looks like a tacky inner-city Chinese from the front entrance but walk through this area and you'll discover one of the coolest venues around. The contemporary Chinese food place is all about deadly food, slick tunes and proper magic from some of Ireland’s top chefs and party makers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOOiCRgLUS/"

"Don’t let the simple, Chinese takeaway exterior of Hang Dai fool you – hidden away inside is one of the most stylish restaurants in the city. With low, neon lighting, the restaurant exudes an urban, futuristic cool. However, Hang Dai is no example of style over substance."

"With Christ Church being one of the most historical parts of Dublin, it's no surprise that the area has a market that is just filled with little gems to be discovered. If you visit the market, you're likely to pick up some delicious international street food as well as antiques and vintage bits. It takes place every Saturday from 11am to 5pm."

"The Christ Church Cathedral is a lovely sacred place that stands as a monument in itself. Not only the Christians are welcome here but also those who take interest in Irish culture. The Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest building in the city of Dublin."

"Chapel Royale, the castle’s chapel, was beautiful and full of tales of its own. If you find yourself hungry or thirsty, there is a lovely eatery at the back of the castle with outdoor seating. The tour lasts one hour."

"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."

"The last item on our list is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of modern architecture in the city. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind in 2010, and its contemporary, angular style ties in perfectly with its home in the ultra modern Grand Canal area. The design ties into its theatrical theme with a striking composition of a ‘red carpet’ with bright resin-glass paving extending from the theatre, covered with distinctive red glowing angled light sticks."

"Designed by Studio Libeskind in 2010, the Grand Canal Square formed an important milestone for the redevelopment of the Dublin Docklands area. The 2000-seat theater is based on the concept of stages: the stage of the theater, the stage of the piazza, the stage of the multiple lever lobby above the piazza."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."

"The beauty of the zoo is you can do it all in your own time - whether you've only got three hours to spend there, or you intend on being there all day. There's so much to see, and arriving early means you can check the feeding times for certain animals and pop back when they're on. The African Plains are a great addition to the zoo, and seeing the animals up close is really exciting for the kids."

"As you might expect, it’s wonderful for strolls, family cycles and general play. There are plenty of wide-open spaces that are far from any traffic (even though there are a few through-roads in the park) and it’s a scenic, vast and well-maintained park. You might also see some of the hundreds of deer that roam the area."

"Dublin Zoo is such a fun-filled, stimulating day out for all the family. It’s a place to learn about wild animals, especially those which are endangered. Located in the Phoenix Park in the heart of Dublin city, Dublin Zoo is Ireland’s most popular family attraction."
