"A post shared by Fade Street Social (@fadestsocialbar) on Feb 21, 2018 at 6:34am PST. The Fade Street Social’s official description is that of an “ambitious little project” that throws together two restaurants and a rooftop terrace (The Winter Garden). Getting cold should not be a problem (unless the seasons change) because there are heaters spread around the rooftop area."

"Named after the street on which it lies, Fade Street Social is quite the city centre restaurant. It's got gorgeous interiors, a cracking menu of succulent steaks and cocktails, and a rooftop terrace offering plenty of space for alfresco dinner and drinks in the heart of Dublin."

"Coppinger Row is mid-range mediterranean cuisine at its best, featuring exciting takes on the usual mains you would expect of a similar establishment. Menu highlights include Foie Gras terrine with spiced apple and brioche, salt marsh duck breast with fondant potato, spinach and roast pear or spiced lamb flatbread with red onion and rosemary. This Mediterranean style of eating is fresh and seasonal and promises to have you stuffed."

"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."

"An elegant cocktail bar spread over three floors with glass panelled ceilings and art nouveau vibes. The Dawson St. late bar was a staple in any solid night out plan and after its closure it was sorely missed. Thankfully, this year they reopened with a brand new style that features several dining experiences along with a host of bars and bespoke event areas, and an extensive food menu which caters for a range of tastes and occasions."

"Café en Seine is one of the best places for brunch in Dublin, from its Art Deco-style interiors through to dedicated cocktails. Ease a Friday night hangover away with the prettiness of this spot, while dishes such as baked eggs with merguez sausage will heal you from the inside out."

"Another elusive punter on our list, No Name Bar's top floor has an outside part and an inside part, so you have your choice in the matter. They also do the most incredible cocktails and food that seriously hits the spot. Not bad for a bar with no name, eh?"

"A post shared by No Name Bar Dublin (@nonamebardublin) on Mar 22, 2015 at 4:57am PDT. It may not have a name, but this bar does come with all sorts of amusements to keep guests entertained. The comfy and cozy bar serves good food and great drinks."

"Spend an evening at one of Dublin’s most popular rooftop bars. This rooftop bar is open no matter the weather. They have large heated circus top coverings, so you will stay dry and warm no matter what."

"The Newtown Little boozer has three outdoor areas for guests to enjoy, amounting to a capacity of 250 people. They have two non-smoking, heated beer gardens and an open top area for sunny days."

"Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross is a 3 star hotel located in the west of Dublin beside the historic village of Clondalkin. The hotel is just off exit 1A of the N7 and 5 minutes from exit 9 off the M50. The hotel is close to public transport links making it easy to travel in and out of the city centre but there is also ample complimentary car parking on site if you would prefer to travel by car."

"Il Fuoco is one of the best restaurants in the centre of Dublin serving authentic Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, we only source the finest local ingredients to ensure the best dining experience for our customers. Enjoy a full Irish or continental breakfast, or swing by to sample our great pastry selections, lunch or dinner menus that are all specially prepared Read more…"

"If you’re looking for trendy, New York vibes in Dublin, Sophie’s is the rooftop bar and restaurant at The Dean. With casual dining, cocktails and amazing views, Sophie’s is the perfect rooftop for fun hen party merrymaking, whether you pop in for drinks and a dance or choose to line your stomachs here. Oh, and they have swings ladies!"

"There are no walls in this place but only large windows with a magical breathtaking view over Dublin. The menu offers traditional Irish, Italian and US style food, simple and delicious. Reservations required, especially on weekends."

"Super cool & comfortable rooms filled with stuff that will make you smile. Spaces for work & play. Food & drink to shout about."

"I used to say that the Southside of Dublin was the only place to get good coffee. But in recent years, there’s a better balance. Driftwood Coffee is a relatively new addtion to the specialty coffee scene in Dublin."

"I’ve always loved Carluccios’ Italian fare (I am partial to their ravioli) and my kids now love it too. To families, they offer a kids menu with the possibility of picking the pasta shape you want and the sauce of your liking: a simple thing that makes kids feel engaged and makes eating with fussy eaters immensely easier (especially if the fussy eaters in question are very opinionated about pasta type like my two!). Address: 52 Dawson Street, Dublin 2"

"The beautiful grass and colourful flowerbeds are overlooked by the majestic St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It’s a great day out for all, and even sits by the River Liffey."

"Next on our list is Cloud Nine, in the Temple Bar neighbourhood of Dublin’s city centre. Conveniently located in the heart of Dublin, Cloud Nine is the perfect place to stop for a cool treat after a day of wandering the city streets. Cloud Nine also serve up a range of other tasty treats, including waffle cones and decadent donuts."

"It's impossible to visit Dublin and not investigate the new incarnation of Bewley’s, reopened after years of restoration. This fine old coffee house was a firm favourite for close on a century, and its recent reappearance is a cheering sight. Come here for coffee, savouries, sweet treats (including the signature Bewley’s cherry buns, and ‘Mary cake’, a rich confection of apricot and chocolate) – and to admire the glorious Harry Clarke stained-glass windows which illuminate the café."

"78- 79 Grafton Street, Dublin 2Mon – Fri from 7:30am, Sat 8am, Sun 9am. Bewley’s Grafton Street is one of Dublin’s most iconic and celebrated landmarks. As well as a selection of their freshly baked pastries and breads, they also serve a selection of delicious hot breakfasts."
