Best Nightlife in Ashbourne

"Teeming with friends piling in to share plates of Irish-inspired tapas, Fade Street Social is aptly named for this corner of the city, which is always bursting with action. Come hungry: You’re going to want to order the lion's share of the tapas menu at Fade Street Social. Carnivores will enjoy slivers of rare sirloin topped with a quivering hunk of bone marrow butter, or slices of duck breast with an accompanying duck-confit spring roll."

"It’s a pity we couldn’t find a good daytime photo of this area of Fade street social because it does get an awful lot of sun. Cocktails and bar bites out here would be heaven. They do 2 for 1 cocktails on a Tuesday, so maybe that’s the day to go for those on a budget."

"They offer an amazing selection of cocktails and food on their rooftop menu, Also on Tuesdays, there are 2 cocktails for the price of one!. You don’t want to miss that deal!"

"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."

"We open at 5pm.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #VintageStyle #SpeakEasy #TempleBar... The Vintage Cocktail Club is truly appropriately named. In fact, those who have been here will be hard-pressed to answer which of the two brings crowds in the most: its award-winning cocktails or its vintage feel."

"If you’re serious cocktail drinkers, your hen party needs to go to the Vintage Cocktail Club, a 1920s speakeasy style gem which is right next to Temple Bar. The cocktails are unusual, creative and pretty darn good. Basically every cocktail is an adventure."

"One of Dublin’s newest nightclubs Opium Rooms has only been opened a little over a year and already it is one of Dublin’s top nightclubs. The club spans over three floors with a main room, a garden and a lounge. Opium Rooms is a multi-purpose nightclub playing host to some terrific live music gigs as well as also being one of Dublin’s top nightclubs with a terrific variation of music and themed nights."

"The Botanical Garden at Opium is however more of a hidden terrace than a traditional rooftop bar so whilst you won’t get the awesome rooftop views, you’ll instead find cool, eclectic interiors and delicious cocktails. There is a strong Asian influence with a nice selection of affordable pan-asian dishes. Location: Wexford Street, Dublin 2 |"

"Located at The Westbury Hotel, just off Grafton Street, Balfes have a stylish outdoor terrace to the front of the main bar and restaurant. This elegant space is one of the city’s best spots for catching up with friends over some cocktails, drinks and food. Their experienced chefs use only the best in Irish free-range meat and sustainably sourced seafood, with a real emphasis on high quality ingredients sourced from local artisan producers."

"Balfes have no need for umbrellas, makeshift marquees or canopies since they already have an outdoor area thanks to The Westbury Hotel. The French-style bistro has plenty of seats outside which has a very luxe and permanent look to it. You can find Balfes on 2 Balfe Street, Dublin 2, visit their website for booking information."

"Adding a dash of New York chic to Dublin's city centre, Balfes is a romantic brasserie that's all about great brunch dishes and charming cocktails on their pretty patio space. Expect to find everything from eggs Florentine for brunch to dinnertime seafood and steak skillets."

"This Cherry Orchard favourite wins best beer garden wallpaper by a mile. The cosy garden has a capacity of 35 people and according to owner Spencer Mitton, Downey's is all about community spirit. He told Dublin Live: "All our staff are with me 20 plus years and are delighted to be getting back to work. All of our customers are related to our staff in some way so it will be exciting to get our extended Downey's family back together. The outside area is cosy and gets the sun all day and you can spend the day watching sports on our 50 inch screen."

"The Baggot Street beauty has a history like no other beer garden, serving customers since 1734. The yard is stylish and bright and is a great place to grab a few drinks in the city centre. Michael Quinn, Proprietor of Toners said: "It has been a tough 14 months for everyone but our collective spirit has kept us going in the dark times. A new beginning is here and in the immortal words of the great Seamus Heaney 'Believe that a further shore is reachable from here."

"Home to one of the best snugs in Dublin Toners is always jammed with working professionals from 5pm onwards. There's always a buzz about the place and the pints of Guinness are top quality. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcRAi2nONU/"

"Situated on the great Baggot Street, Toners is one of Dublin’s oldest and most famous traditional pubs. The interior contributes to a lively and friendly atmosphere."

"Located in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Bloomfields Shopping Centre is bright and busy, with shops, supermarket and cafe. Parking is available."

"This historic shopping centre occupies a beautiful Georgian building just off Grafton Street, the south side’s major shopping street. Formerly a townhouse belonging to the 3rd Viscount Powerscourt and his wife – for when they visited the city from their estate in Enniskerry, County Wicklow – it now holds more than 40 shops and restaurants. A proud supporter of Irish design, The Powerscourt Centre has several boutiques by Irish fashion designers, as well as offering the best of Irish craft."

"About seven minutes from the hotel is the gorgeous Powerscourt Centre. It’s a haven of small artisan boutiques and galleries, eateries and designer stores in what was once a family home. But don’t be deceived: It’s actually quite big, immediately impressive and well worth a visit even if you’re not actually planning to buy anything."

"Go in for the shopping, stay for the cafe and beautiful view!. This shopping centre is set in a renovated Georgian House along trendy South William Street. It’s full of design and antique jewellery shops, as well as cafes and a few clothing stores."

"Originally a coaching inn, today Blackrock Market hosts over 50 traders and since its inception in 1996 has built up a reputation as one of the most popular markets in Dublin. Visitors can browse fine art, antique furnishings and handmade crafts; Hubert’s Bric-a-Brac in particular has a wide range of vintage finds of both Irish and European descent, including ceramics and pottery and vintage cameras from around the world. People come for the antiques and stay for the food; don’t miss the authentic Indian street food at 3 Leaves, an award-winning restaurant that dishes up pav bhaji (thick vegetable curry served with a roll) and pani puri (fried balls of hollow dough packed with savoury fillings such as chickpeas) to eager guests."

"The Dublin donut chain serves up delicious donuts that are famed for their fantastic flavours. From pistachio salted caramel to maple bacon and even GIN flavours, there's no donut craving these sugary treats can't satisfy."

"There seems to be a million of these around Dublin city, and thank goodness for that. One of my favorites is the Vegan Vanilla Glaze with Pistachio, yum!"

"You don't have to eat Krispy Kreme to know what a real American donut tastes like. As the name suggests, these gorgeous donuts are like a bite of American life with flavours such as s'more, cookie monster and of course the famous Boston creme."

"This other much loved local chain sells some of the most decadent donuts you'll find. From Nutella ring donuts to peanut buttercup flavour, their moreish fillings and toppings will satisfy even the sweetest tooth. They've even recently started selling UNICORN donuts which pretty much makes them legends in our eyes."

"We ate this unicorn donut at Offbeat Donut Company in the land of leprechauns. The irony is palpable. It was a dark day when we realized that our favorite Dublin donut shop had closed."

"Italian–New York fusion restaurant San Lorenzo’s has built up an impressive reputation for Dublin foodies and, judging by their brunch game, it’s easy to see why. Named the ‘Brunch Of Champions’, their weekend blowout is just that: a hefty, indulgent treat in a buzzy atmosphere. Food-wise, it’s a joy: from baked ham and pork belly hash, to the truly eye-popping Coco Pops french toast."

"The mighty San Lorenzo’s is another restaurant that’s said to dish out some of the best brunch Dublin has to offer (it’s also one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Dublin). This is, unsurprisingly enough, an Italian restaurant that cooks with a New York flair. Booking here is an absolute must!"

"Comes with salt caramelised bananas, peanut butter, mascarpone whipped cream and Belgian chocolate sauce. You'll probably have to go back to bed after this."

"If you appreciate a good, strong cup of coffee, then you need to get yourself to One Society in Dublin. It has some of the nicest tasting coffee we’ve ever tried anywhere in Ireland, and we’ve tried a LOT of places. Not only are their drinks phenomenal, but their food is out-of-this-world grade, too."

"You’ll regularly see One Society top guides to the best brunch in Dublin, and for good reason. The food on offer in this Lower Gardnier St. haunt is the absolute business. Order their “not so classic Irish breakfast” and you’ll be full for the rest of the day!"
