31 Best Cocktail Bars near Dublin

“Historic location in Dublin! The legend continues with life long resident Phil and his rockin wife Marta... slinging great drinks, great prices, and awesome live music. I never thought one of 2 staple dive bars of Dublin would get such a great facelift, but it is better than ever!“

“outstanding beers and a great spot here in Dublin!“

“10/10 one of the best experience we've had! Personal cocktail making class for the two of us. Charlie was so kind and had such a great way with us. We got a charcuterie board in the middle of our class which really added to the experience. We would really recommend this to everyone. Top experience“

“Had an outstanding dinner with my husband and friends last night. First my husband and I started at the bar for cocktails, chips & salsa. Roberto was friendly& had quick service! We got our chips and salsa immediately. I had a strawberry margarita and my husband tried the jalapeño & cucumber spicy margarita. Drinks were great! Roberto checked on us many times, as he made his rounds to check on everyone at the bar. He made us feel welcomed!
When our friends arrived we were quickly seated at our table. Poppi was our waitress. She was also amazing! She was very patient with us, as we weren’t in a hurry. She was very friendly, helpful, and quick! We all ordered another round of drinks. Eventually we ordered food and we all enjoyed it! I appreciate that they have gluten free items labeled on their menu!! I got the quessaburria tacos. Others order shrimp tacos, fajitas, and enchiladas. We were very impressed with how quickly we got our food! Everything was delicious! Thank you Roberto & Poppi for giving us a fun kid free night out!“

“From the outside it looks like a dive. I love a good dive. But one step inside and your olfactory nerves transport you to Vegas. Maybe the Cosmo, maybe the Venetian. Either way it’s amazing. Then the smell of grilled hot dogs, it must be Slots of Fun… next order whiskey and they have my absolute favorite: Writer’s Tears. Come visit Nicole.

Don’t forget to tip your bartender.“

“It’s very rare I leave a review for a bar. If ever. But this one is well deserved.

I was staying up the street and had a long couple days, so wanted a chill place to have a drink.

I stumbled upon a fantastic local watering hole, where you can tell the same folks come here, and for good reason. Good ambience, a few bar games, a digital jukebox, reasonable drink prices… but the service is where this place really hooked me.

(Forgive the spelling) Saren was my bartender and made me feel at home. As a career bartender, I can be somewhat hyper-critical of service from a fellow tender. She not only takes the time to talk to you individually, but immediately turns on the fast-paced service when the bar inevitably picks up when the place across the street lets out from an event.

I recommend this bar to anyone whether a group or individuals. There’s enough to do, people to talk to, and the service is second to none. I’ll be sure to book my next stay in the Bay close to here on purpose moving forward.“

“Great welcoming staff & Fun 🤩 crowd“

“Amazing food! Great flavors!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I were visiting Danville today and stopped by this restaurant for dinner. The menu is delightful & the meal was delicious. This is a family owned business, and the owner spent much time traveling and working in hospitality overseas in a variety of different places,. The menu really highlights his comfort, creativity, and expertise in different cuisines. There were so many unique items to choose from, and one of the things I loved was that they had many gluten-free options clearly labeled on the menu. I highly recommend checking it out!“

“This was my first time and I will be back!!“

“Loved our experience but the only negative is it gets loud and I found myself talking loud. Given that the tables are so close to each other, I think everyone talks louder to be heard. Everything else was amazing and I'd still tell everyone to go. :)“

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋“

“I recommend the pancakes.great people .Great conversations with the owners.if you eat here you will not leave hungry“

“It wasn't busy yet and the service was a little slow but the food was good. I wanted it to be hotter. My seat was very dirty next to me and that bothered me. And then they had live music setting up next to our table, it was a little awkward. Pretty good. Could do better.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We had the quesadilla and artichoke as appetizers 2 of us had the short ribs, one had the salmon, and one had the lamb shank. For dessert we had the pear tarte and the creme brulee. We were all extremely pleased with everything. The service was a little slow as far as taking our order and our waiter could have been a bit more attentive, but we will definitely be back!“

“Great place to meet and grab a drink 🍸“

“Last Friday evening our party of 8 celebrated a warm and jubilant birthday, early Father’s Day party. From our arrival to our leaving the entire staff greeted us like family. All of our appetizers, Sushi-Rolls, were delicious! We all loved our Entrees-our seafood was expertly prepared!
Blue Sakana is “Our Special Place”…“

“I almost didn’t want to share my review because I don’t want this place to get super packed lol. But this is the only place with the best and delicious happy hour special within the bishop center. Trust me, all the other ones are way over priced even for their “happy hour” prices. I only come here for drinks so I can’t review the food. I highly recommend the golden state margarita and the ambikas grove! Ps happy hour is from 4-6. You’re welcome “

“We always enjoy the sitting outside people watching and getting excellent service and food. My wife inevitably gets one of the specials- and loves the seasonal change in the menus.“

“A great stop, especially during happy hour! Service was quick, friendly and excellent! Patio dining on a nice day adds to the downtown experience. Food was flavorful and drinks were delicious too! Great spot for a date night or special occasion with friends and family.“

“Food and cocktails were good. Table water tasted like tap water.“

“Beautiful place great afternoon atmosphere“

“This place was awesome !!“

“Food was great and so was the service…. Securely going back again!!!“

“Amazing whiskey selection and great food!“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant!! The Ahi Aguachile (sashimi dish) was amazing, as was the Chicharron Tacos (pork belly). Service is fabulous and the people are fantastic.“

“The food was wonderful. Flavorful with beautiful plating.The restaurant was a simple but classy environment. Just the type of place I like to enjoy a meal.“

“Just Fabulous. A place to sit and feel good with life.“

“We had our first lunch buffet here and really enjoyed the experience. The place is nice and beautifully set up, and we were seated immediately. They had a good variety of dishes, and the food was tasty overall. It did feel like there were more vegetarian options, but the spread was still well balanced and enjoyable. We’d definitely consider coming back again.“

“Food has always been great. Very pleasant staff and efficient without being overbearing. Just would a little more wine or cider options. Possibly cider other than apple, there are so many other flavors that go great with Italian food, and maybe a sweeter less dry white wine like a resiling. Other than that, it's a fun place to go.“

“Staff was Awesome! Atmosphere was great.“
