About Bar Dominion

Bar Dominion is a lively and welcoming spot with a vibrant atmosphere, situated just steps from Dorchester Square. This gorgeous old bar, which opened in 1927, has been lovingly maintained in its original style. Despite being busy, the staff provide attentive and friendly service, ensuring drinks and food keep coming. Known for its amazing oysters and delicious cocktails, Bar Dominion offers a fun and memorable experience. The menu features popular items like fries, oysters, and sesame skewers, along with small plates such as shrimp cocktail, charcuterie, and burrata with grilled bread. The **party platter**, however, may not meet expectations, as it includes mostly crudités and only a few actual items from the menu. The **chimichurri** sauce that accompanies it is a highlight. The kitchen stays open late, and the bartenders are skilled mixologists who turn drink-making into an art. The interior combines contrasting materials and lighting, creating an interesting ambiance that blends contemporary and historic styles. The music adds to the lively environment, making it a good place for a night out with friends or a romantic evening. The **burger** is a good portion for those wanting something heavier, though it may be a bit dry and cold. On the other hand, the **fries** are dangerously addictive, praised as the best “drunk bar fries” in a while. With a great outdoor terrace in the summer and quick service, this lovely spot is worth visiting, even if a bit expensive.
