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“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“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!!“

“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“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“I attended an event at Aracely lounge last week and was blown away, not only by the beautiful ambience, but also the warm hospitality, and incredible food. I think it was the best avocado toast I've ever had in my life. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Highly recommended. I can't wait to go back!!!“

“The food was delicious and quick to arrive. Service was okay. It wasn't very busy and the waiter didn't check in on us often so we would have to flag someone down for water refills. The busser was clearing the table as we were sitting there and would reach his hand out to each person waiting for us to hand him our dishes.“

“Great place to meet and grab a drink 🍸“

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

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

“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.“

“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”…“

“Beautiful place great afternoon atmosphere“

“This place was awesome !!“

“Amazing whiskey selection and great food!“

“I tried Tides for the first time to celebrate my birthday. Had the oysters, steak skewers, crab cakes and sea bass. The food was very good, although the steak skewers and crab cakes were only moderately warm upon arrival. Sea bass was excellent; but definitely could have been bigger for the price point. Oysters were on point and excellent as well. Amazing service by the waiter as well as well as the hostess. The birthday card and complimentary dessert were a nice touch. Upscale, trendy interior. Will be back!“

“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.“

“We had another wonderful experience dining here. The food was absolutely delicious, just as it always is, and the atmosphere made for a great time. A special shout‑out to Siew, who consistently takes such great care of me and my family whenever we visit. I was especially happy to see she’d be assisting us again when we came in for a business lunch. Her attentiveness and kindness truly elevate the whole experience. Restaurants are lucky to have staff like her. Highly recommend!“

“Staff was Awesome! Atmosphere was great.“
