21 Amazing Alfresco Spots for Outdoor Dining in Dublin
"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."
"Hidden in Dublin’s cultural quarter, just off the bustling South William Street is where you will find Coppinger Row, a restaurant that promises a culinary experience of the highest order. Amazing food in generous portions coupled with friendly helpful staff make this a firm favourite among Dublin diners so booking in advance is advised. Oh, and their cosy terrace is ideal for eating and people watching in the summer!"
"Beyond the celebrity-approved status, Coppinger Row is one of the most popular places to eat in Dublin. Stop by for a menu of Mediterranean-style bites and signature cocktails in a relaxed, unpretentious setting."
"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."
"This iconic restaurant near Trinity boasts some seriously stunning interiors for romantic date nights. Slick, streamlined and colourful, the interiors are almost as interesting as their menu which boasts a pan-continental mix of small plates, big sharing dishes and quaff-able cocktails."
"The long line of buggies parked at the entrance of Yamamori gives away the family friendliness of the place and indeed, kids here are welcome. The place offers decent Asian food and simple dishes such as noodles and stir fries are usually appreciated by kids as well, even if there is no kids menu as such available. Address: 73 South Great George’s Street, Dublin"

Named for one of Ireland’s greatest writers, the Bernard Shaw is a big pub in the St Kevin’s area of the city with a wide range of draught beers, ciders and cocktails among other delights for thirsty Dubliners and tourists alike. They also do a very tasty line in food, and while pizzas and larger plates are outside the 10 USD price range, their toasted sandwiches are excellent and highly affordable."
"Even though we received the worst news as of late, it was very important for me to include The Shaw in this list as I have some of the best memories there. The Bernard Shaw has acted as an iconic cultural hub and the ultimate spot to chill out after a stressful working day. With the Big Blue Bus and Eatyard on site, foodies would always get their fill and with various DJ areas, music heads could bop the night away."
"The Shaw' as it's known to its young, trendy clientele is the Dublin equivalent of London's Shoreditch pubs. Seemingly compact and indistinguishable from other pubs from the outside it's the sprawling beer garden inside where all the excitement is contained. The Blue Bus contains a pizzeria, the walls are covered in colourful graffiti and the pool table is rarely left unattended."
"Ireland, and Dublin in particular, is synonymous with great literature, and many of its great writers are synonymous with Dublin pubs. They drank, talked, and took in characters and conversations that made their way onto the page. Every pub will tell you James Joyce, Brendan Behan or Flann O’Brien drank there – and they probably did – but none has a stronger literary connection than Neary’s."
"Perhaps the most agreeable of Dublin's old-time boozers, a step away from the shopping frenzy of Grafton Street. It's perfect for a low-key drink on a Saturday afternoon or on a mid-week evening. Outside there's a touch of late-Victorian exuberance in the form of two outstretched cast-iron arms holding aloft a pair of lanterns."
"Clayton Hotel Charlemont is superbly located on the south side of Dublin City overlooking the iconic Grand Canal, just a short walk to the popular St. Stephens Green and Grafton Street. Address: Charlemont Street, Dublin 2"

"Mimicking American diners of the 1950s, Irish retro-restaurant chain Eddie Rocket’s does dessert better than any of its rivals. Their chocolate brownies and cookie sliders are widely celebrated, but their milkshakes and malts made with premium dairy ice cream could qualify as desserts in and of themselves – the imaginative menu blends heavenly flavours like Kinder Bueno, Oreo cookie and Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup."
"Sure it's a burger joint, but I think Eddie does a decent burger – and the milkshakes are the best in the land. Kids are king in this place, with colouring books, kids' menu and a gift on leaving. The menu is more of a treat, but the music and speed of service sometimes makes this the best choice."
"The restaurant is hidden behind a Korean supermarket so make sure to venture into this unfamiliar territory if you are in the neighbourhood. It’s very close to the centre, located on Great Strand Street, close to Liffey River and it’s a rave among the Asian community in Dublin (I initially heard about the place from my Taiwanese friends) so you know that the flavours are as authentic as possible. Apart from being heavenly delicious, the place is ridiculously cheap, I had a kimchi fried rice for just €6.50."
"Dublin 1It doesn’t look like much from the outside… just a run-of-the-mill Korean grocery store on a quiet side street. But right at the back is a tiny little restaurant serving up the best Korean food in Dublin (and at a bargain of a price, too). It’s more of a canteen -- don’t dawdle when you’re ordering and grab the first seat you see."
"This cozy family-run place pulsates the spirit of an Argentinian-Irish amalgamation, offering a refreshing all-daybreakfast experience that takes their guests on an unprecedented culinary adventure. While the name means ‘soul’ in Spanish, it also stands for the initials of the four daughters in the family which runs this thriving café. The cafe resonates with health and happiness."
"This Portobello café stunned me twice this year - once upon a "first look" visit and a few months later while on the hunt for the tastiest pancakes in Dublin. Run by an Argentinian lady whose parents and siblings have also moved over since it opened to lend a hand. There are four sisters in the family, which gives Alma its name - each letter representing a sister."
"Alma in Portobello are giving away a free coffee with every pancake order today. They're also selling a pancake set on their website here."
"With a menu that changes based on seasonality, Platform 61 remains fresh and hip as one of Dublin’s best brunch spots. They do traditional dishes such as Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros, but they also do slightly different plates such as Shallot and Pea Ravioli and The Stun Bun, a grilled chicken sandwich served with guacamole and roast potatoes. Platform 61 are open for outdoor dining on South William Street."
"You’d be forgiven for walking past Platform 61 and not knowing what you’d missed. This underground eatery, tucked away on South William Street, is inspired by New York’s Track 61, a secret underground passageway for VIPs that was built in 1913 and is thought to still be in use. Platform 61 opened in 2015, but is a little-known Dublin gem."
"Brasserie 66 is not a place that strikes you as child friendly but if you liked their food before you had kids, you’ll be happy to hear that kids are welcome and catered for. The restaurant has some booster seats and child dishes at a reduced price: ask the server for details as I don’t recall seeing a kids menu as such. Address: 66-67 South Great George’s Street, Dublin"
"A fixed feature on George’s street that brings an honest-to-goodness approach to tasty food delivering hearty flavours in an atmospheric setting. The eclectic cocktail menu is definitely worth exploring, and they also offer a creative mocktail menu too. Early Bird Menu: Sunday to Wednesday all evening."
"For pizza slices as big as your head at €3 a go, you cannot beat DiFontaine’s Pizzeria, right in the heart of town on Parliament Street. Don’t expect a five-star setting – this is a counter-and- stools kind of place – but the pizzas are excellent. Your cheap-as-chips slice will have a good base, deliciously melting cheese and a robust tomato sauce."
"I absolutely love this place, if not for their delicious vegan pizza, then for their kind and friendly staff. It has that New York pizzeria feel that sometimes I just crave. When I went to try a slice, the owner shared a story about how they came up with their recipe."
