Rooftop Bars in Dublin
"It’s always buzzing in this corner of the city, and you can watch all the action unfold from the outdoor seats at Fade Street Social. Opt for the tapas menu, and don’t be shy with your order. The slivers of pink duck breast with pickled kumquats are a must, but don’t skip the smaller sides – the salted popcorn mixed with crispy truffled chicken is a standout."
"Fade Street Social is one of the most happening places in Dublin. It has an extensive 8,000-square-foot space that incorporates a restaurant, cocktail bar, tapas and gastro bar, and rooftop terrace in one building. MasterChef judge Dylan McGrath has gathered the best Irish foods and ingredients and presents them in a stylish setting."
"Fade Street Social is a bar of many talents; boasting a spacious restaurant, tapas gastrobar, cocktail bar and a rooftop terrace. With a menu of Irish produce from the award-winning Chef Dylan McGrath, it's a lovely spot for drinks, dinner and relaxing."
"Not an area known for its cocktail bars, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the hidden gem that is Vintage Cocktail Club. Taking you on a journey into the dark and distance Prohibition Era, this Crown Alley bar offers that ‘wow’ factor at every turn. The exclusive, relaxed and welcoming vibe of the bar is a throwback to the golden age of speakeasies, aviators and silent movies, complimented by the fabulous vintage-chic 1920s themed drinks."
"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."
"A post shared by Opium (@opiumdublin) on Jan 31, 2020 at 9:51am PST. At Opium, guests get to indulge in cocktails and even make them in the cocktail lounge, while the restaurant specializes in food that is created with recipes sourced from several Asian countries. Opium is spread over three stories in the building and guests can move between the different areas with ease."
"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 |"
"Described on Tripadvisor as a ‘fusion of the casual elegance of a Parisian brasserie with the dynamism of a New York eatery’, this gorgeous city centre bar and restaurant has a fantastic brunch menu. They serve buttermilk pancakes with either apricots, Greek yoghurt, orange blossom honey, and pistachios, or with bacon, blueberries, and maple syrup. And if you’re looking for something healthier, they also have oat pancakes with organic nut butter, banana, cacao nibs, and toasted pecan."
"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."
"Hotel Phone: +353 1 407 0800 Fun and colorful boutique hotel overlooking the Liffey. Rooms feature hardwood floors and super king-sized beds and range from cozy doubles to spacious river-view suites, including a two-bedroom family option that sleeps four. There’s an excellent bar on site, and the hotel is well-situated amid Dublin’s best restaurants and nightlife."
"Self-described as ‘Dublin’s original rock ‘n’ roll boutique hotel’, the Clarence Hotel is located in Temple Bar at the heart of the city. Situated beside the River Liffey, it’s the perfect spot to relax after a busy day in the city with a cocktail in hand. Offering a warm and friendly welcome, this hotel offers 58 beautifully designed bedrooms and suites."
"The Clarence is Dublin's original rock n roll hotel situated right in the heart of Dublin. We offer our visitors a warm, friendly welcome and a unique, comfortable experience while staying in our beautiful, vibrant city. Dublin is packed with exciting spaces, tastes and adventures that are a true reflection of life in the capital today."
"Rain or sunshine the Garden has a cosy and heated atmosphere in any case and can be requested, subject to availability. The bright and airy first floor dining room is a really comfortable space to relax and enjoy lunch or dinner and a glass or two..."
"The bar downstairs is good for weekend brunch and for casual bites too, plus a copious cocktail menu. There’s a large, relaxed restaurant on the first floor, and a dinky garden area out back."
"The newly refurbished Maldron Hotel Pearse Street is in the heart of Dublin city centre. This Dublin hotel is perfectly located just a few minutes' walk away from the city's main venues and attractions. With newly refurbished comfortable and spacious rooms, dining options and meeting space on site, the hotel is the ideal choice for a Dublin break."
"If you are looking for a comfortable good-value hotel, we’ve stayed at a number of mid-range hotels in the city like the Ireland-based Maldron hotels. We would recommend booking lodging in or near the city center to make the most of your time in Dublin."
"Based on Baggot Street, Searsons is the pub that's home to one of the best beer gardens in Dublin. Make the most of those rare sunny days with a cocktail in hand (making use of their 90+ bottle collection) at one of the city's most atmospheric outdoor spaces."
"Searsons of Baggot Street, Dublin, has a contemporary feel but with a traditional Irish bar atmosphere. Step inside to experience a beautifully restored bar serving the finest food and drink."
"Now you will also see the Campanile, one of Dublin's most photographed buildings. Resist the temptation (should you feel it) to queue for a look at the Book of Kells. Even on good days you will lose time, see only a small portion and may come away slightly disappointed. The Old Library and the Book of Kells are for those visitors with more time, seriously."
"Overlooking the villages of Dalkey and Killiney is a small public park, the Killiney Hill Park. Visitors can enjoy a variety of teas from their famous tea rooms, playgrounds for children and adult alike, and long green walking paths and woodland trails. Families and friends can enjoy their picnics here in the park as they enjoy the view of Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountain."
"Ok, but this one’s pretty cool and it’s perched on top of a hill!. It also used to have a railway station (albeit one that closed over 150 years ago, but still). Located along the southern boundary of Dublin Bay, the main reason you’d head to Killiney Hill Park is for the gorgeous sweeping views from the viewpoint just south of the obelisk."
"A little park with a wonderful view of Dalkey and Killiney villages. It’s a steep walk up the hill, but it’s well worth it. Once you’re up, it’s one of Dublin’s most tranquil spots to relax in."
"St. Patrick’s Cathedral was founded in the 12th century and is Ireland’s largest church, situated in the heart of Dublin City. There is plenty of history here; Jonathan Swift (author of “Gulliver’s Travels”) who was the dean of the Cathedral from 1713-1745 is buried here. The cathedral regularly hosts choral concerts and is worth experiencing."
"Set in the beautiful St Anne's Park in Clontarf, the Red Stables Food Market is ideal for a romantic stroll, a day out with the family, or just a browse with your mates. It runs every Saturday from 10am to 5pm (10am to 4 pm in winter) and is set against a Victorian two-storey building which features design studios, artist workspaces, a commercial gallery, café and courtyard area where the market takes place."
"The Gerard Byrne Studio, Art Gallery is home to a display of Gerard's paintings and is aimed at art enthusiasts and collectors."
"This museum is located in St. Enda’s Park in Dublin and offers insight into the home of the Irish patriot, Patrick Pearse."
