Best & Cool Bars in Malahide

"Teeming with friends piling in to share plates of Irish-inspired tapas, Fade Street Social is aptly named for this corner of the city, which is always bursting with action. Come hungry: You’re going to want to order the lion's share of the tapas menu at Fade Street Social. Carnivores will enjoy slivers of rare sirloin topped with a quivering hunk of bone marrow butter, or slices of duck breast with an accompanying duck-confit spring roll."

"It’s always buzzing in this corner of the city, and you can watch all the action unfold from the outdoor seats at Fade Street Social. Opt for the tapas menu, and don’t be shy with your order. The slivers of pink duck breast with pickled kumquats are a must, but don’t skip the smaller sides – the salted popcorn mixed with crispy truffled chicken is a standout."

"This charming back-to-basics restaurant promotes the use of homegrown, local produce. Its menu adapts to reflect seasonality, and food is presented in an uncomplicated way which emphasises its freshness, quality, and delicious taste."

"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!"

"This garden BBQ style restaurant, located in an old carpark on Clanbrassil Street, has wooden pallet furniture and colourful bunting aplenty. This year they’ve added a seafood shack (Sharkbait Shelby’s) and delicious woodfired pizza from The Big Blue Bus, with more food stalls to announced over the next few weeks. Go for the food, stay for the party atmosphere and hand-rolled ice-cream."

"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."

"A post shared by Camden Bites and Brews (@camdenbitesandbrews). This brilliant beer garden is an awesome spot to enjoy a burger or fish and chips and a beer."

"The retro sign out front of this former butcher still advertises Frank’s Pork Shop, but inside the vibe is much more modern. Diners share one long, high table, while chef Chris Maguire sends out delicious small plates from a small kitchen at the back. Seared scallops smothered in aerated ham hock sauce are a delight, as is the house gnocchi served with oyster mushrooms and a fudgy 63-degree egg, which slowly releases its yolk over the rest of the plate."

"Set in a former butcher shop, now sympathetically re-styled, Frank's oozes character. A one-room wine bar in forest green that bears bottles on skinny shelves bookending a central, heavy communal dining table. Small plates are effortlessly assembled to enjoy alongside a discovery wine line-up."

"Frank Ryan's is yer only man for a toastie and a pint of plain. This quirky bar is decorated with twinkling fairy lights, bras and boots hanging from the ceiling. It's super casual with some furry friends often pottering about."

"On your walk from the Molly Malone statue to the next site, the Little Museum of Dublin, we recommend walking along Grafton Street. This is one of the best known streets in Dublin and one of the city’s main shopping streets. It’s a lively place with lots of stores, restaurants, cafés, and street buskers (street performers). The majority of the street is pedestrian-only making it a friendly place for walkers and tourists."

"Stop Five: Molly Malone Statue and O’Neill’s Pub Back inside the walls of Dublin, are two landmarks worth visiting during your 2 days in Dublin itinerary. The first is the statue of the mysterious but very popular Irish personality, Molly Malone, located on Grafton Street. Molly’s background is obscure at best."

"If time allows before your flight you should try to visit Croke Park and Glasnevin Cemetry, both of which are in the direction of the airport from the city center. Croke Park – Ireland’s national games, Gaelic Football and Hurling, are played here with the finals of both sports occurring in September every year. Croke Park is the 3rd largest stadium in Europe in terms of capacity with room for 82,300 people. This is even more remarkable when you consider the players are completely amateur yet have more supporters cheering them on than most professional teams in the world."

"Named after Archbishop Croke, one of the stadium’s first patrons, Croke Park is Europe’s third-largest stadium and the centre for Gaelic sport in Ireland. This tour gives you the chance to try hurling and Gaelic football in the interactive museum. You can also visit the team dressing rooms, VIP area and the stadium itself."

"Ireland loves their sports, so see what the fuss is all about by visiting Croke Park. Depending on the time of year you come, you might be lucky enough to see a live match. Favorite Irish sports including Gaelic football and hurling."

"Situated in the Temple Bar neighbourhood of Dublin in the beating heart of the city, Banyi Japanese Dining serve up mouth-watering sushi rolls and sashimi at a price that won’t break the bank. They are also known for their excellent vegan menu. The location makes Banyi Japanese Dining the perfect spot for dinner for those who work in the centre of the city."

"The Temple Bar area isn’t exactly known for its first-rate dining options, but there are a few winners in among the tourist-trap bars. Banyi is one of the city’s best sushi spots – it’s unpretentious, casual and reasonably priced. The tempura prawn and avocado roll is a winner, and their sashimi is quiveringly fresh."

"If there's one restaurant we could eat at every single day of our lives, it's Banyi. The food is incredible and the staff is really lovely. It is hands down one of our favourite Japanese restaurants in Dublin."

"They are a big UK chain with outlets in Dundrum and just beside Brown Thomas in town. Although we'd always champion the independent in Dublin, you have to say that their sushi is well worth making the list. Pick what you want from conveyor belts but do watch what you eat as you can easily tally up a huge bill in here."

"FIRE Steakhouse boast possibly the best outdoor dining terrace in Dublin City. This stunning space overlooks the beautiful Lord Mayor’s garden and is great for a bit of people watching on Dawson Street. The terrace is large so there’s plenty of room for safe, social distancing and features a retractable roof and a glass balcony, ensuring that you can enjoy a meal and drinks with friends whatever the weather."

"Suggesting an ice-cream on a damp Dublin day might not sound like the best idea, but do sample Murphy’s ice-creams as you saunter along Wicklow Street in the city centre. This is serious stuff: the brand originates in Dingle, County Kerry, and it’s made of Kerry cream. Try the delicious sorbets, which change with the season – blackcurrant in high summer, for example, and cranberry in winter."

"We couldn’t make a list of ice-cream places in Dublin without including Murphy’s Ice Cream. This traditional ice-cream parlour on Wicklow Street is the place to go if you are looking for top quality traditional Irish ice-cream. Handmade in Dingle, Murphy’s Ice Cream is like no other with their milk coming from a rare, indigenous Kerry bred cow."

"Now you will also see the Campanile, one of Dublin's most photographed buildings. Resist the temptation (should you feel it) to queue for a look at the Book of Kells. Even on good days you will lose time, see only a small portion and may come away slightly disappointed. The Old Library and the Book of Kells are for those visitors with more time, seriously."
