Best Nightlife in Dublin

"A post shared by Fade Street Social (@fadestsocialbar) on Feb 21, 2018 at 6:34am PST. The Fade Street Social’s official description is that of an “ambitious little project” that throws together two restaurants and a rooftop terrace (The Winter Garden). Getting cold should not be a problem (unless the seasons change) because there are heaters spread around the rooftop area."

"Named after the street on which it lies, Fade Street Social is quite the city centre restaurant. It's got gorgeous interiors, a cracking menu of succulent steaks and cocktails, and a rooftop terrace offering plenty of space for alfresco dinner and drinks in the heart of Dublin."

"Hidden away in a building in the buzzing Temple Bar area of Dublin, the Vintage Cocktail Club is a 1920s chic cocktail bar, set over three floors, including a fantastic rooftop terrace. Not fantastic because of breathtaking panoramic views, but because of the very cool and cosy decor, and the amazing cocktails served. Hard to find, but worth the search for a calm and cosy atmosphere and a highly impressive cocktail menu, with unique creations made to perfection."

"Vintage Cocktail Club's rooftop bar area is one of Dublin's finest. Make your way through their menu of illicit vintage-inspired sips while cosying up under heaters or topping up the tan (weather depending, obvs) and soaking up the always-bustling atmosphere of this quirky bar."

"The ever elusive V.C.C. is just one big dreamy mystery, and we just love it. On their top floor, the rooftop bar doubles as a smoking area. A beautiful view, if there's no rain of course."

"A popular spot whether you're stopping in for lunch or celebrating a special occasion, Opium always makes an impression on a romantic date in Dublin. With delicious dishes such as steam stone bass and suckling pork, this place backs everything up with stylish interiors."

"Opium is one hot ticket when it comes to quirky dining in Dublin. Sprawled across four sections, it's carefully divided into a slick restaurant serving suckling pork, red duck curry, and claypot lamb, with a gorgeous terrace, cocktail bar and even its own club."

"The ground-floor of the Westbury Hotel has been revamped into a stand-alone restaurant called Balfes, named after the street it resides on. The menu here works hard to celebrate the best of local ingredients making the food modern, fresh and different enough to feel exciting. Early Bird Menu: Sunday to Thursday 5pm to 6.30pm."

"This bright and airy brasserie boasts a chic aesthetic to please even the pickiest of Instagrammers. With lofty ceilings, marble tables, and a sunny outdoor terrace, Balfe's is one of the best restaurants in Dublin, offering everything from weekend brunches through to date night dinners."

"Balfes brasserie in The Westbury Hotel is all about a plush dining experience. No plastic cutlery in here, oh no. Expect beautifully presented cuisine, marble tables, deep leather booths and very flattering lighting – perfect for that post-meal selfie."

"The Spa at Castleknock Hotel – 11km (7mi) west of the city centre – is a luxury urban retreat fuelled by the energy of the nature that surrounds it. The bespoke treatments on offer for male and female clients celebrate well-being and the quality of life, all delivered in a cocoon of calm by experienced skilled therapists. The Tonic Health Club offers a spa pool, steam room and sauna, and personal trainers can create bespoke exercise plans in the gym."

"Take a short 30-minute drive out of the City Centre to Castleknock Hotel for an indulgent spa experience. The Spa at Castleknock Hotel uses luxury Elemis and Voya products, including ground-breaking facials with Elemis BIOTEC. These powerfully rejuvenating facial treatments are tailored to you and target fine lines and wrinkles."

"Castleknock Hotel is a modern 4 star hotel with a difference. Perfectly positioned in the leafy suburbs with space to relax and think, yet just 15 minutes from Dublin City and 20 minutes from Dublin Airport. Address: Castleknock Hotel, Porterstown Road, Castleknock, Dublin 15"

"Nestled among the Georgian terraces of Dublin city, the Belvedere Hotel has a long and storied history dating back to the 1700s. The property has been lovingly restored to it’s former glory with original period features intact, coupled with contemporary furnishings and styling. This creates a sophisticated but relaxed setting where the old world meets new in a modern contemporary style."

"We’ve attended the Traditional Irish Night show at Dublin’s Belvedere Hotel and you can read about our experience. We also heard good things about Taylor’s Irish Night, although this is located a little south of the city center. Other options include the Irish House Party dinner and show, a dinner cruise on a canal barge, or an evening pub crawl with traditional Irish music."

"A jewel in the food map of Dublin 8, this establishment is more than just your next-door coffee place. Noshington is a play on words, according to the owner Elizabeth O’Sullivan, who says that ‘nosh’ colloquially stands for food whereas the latter half of the word comes from the other half of the facing street: Washington. Besides offering the choicest of coffees, including macchiato, Babyccino, matcha latte and teas, Noshington also does a delectable all-day breakfast menu that includes eggs, sandwiches, smashed avocados on sourdough, sausage blaa and salads."

"Lizzy O'Sullivan has made Noshington, at the corner of Washington (geddit?) Street on Dublin's southside, a cut above the standard neighbourhood cafe. There's an ever-changing, inventive menu accompanied by excellent coffee – or jugs of home-made lemonade. Breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch are done beautifully: try the smashed avocado and poached eggs on home-made brown bread (€8.50/£7.56); while the red velvet cake and Malteser tarts are to die for."

"Not only do they do amazing coffee, which we talk about in this article here, Square One also prepare a mean brunch. They do all the classic brunch recipes while also adding a few more original plates, such as blueberry, lemon, and ricotta pancakes and grilled peach French toast. The café is light and spacious and is currently doing takeaway brunch and outdoor dining to continue serving during COVID restrictions."

"The buses will take you past the major sights and, depending on which tour you choose (grab some leaflets the evening before or do some research on the internet), even far-flung attractions like the Guinness Brewery, Kilmainham Gaol, and Phoenix Park will be seen. The main thing to remember here: get a good seat on top, enjoy the view, listen to the commentary, and snap away... but do not get off the bus. This is your city tour."

"No list of the best Dublin museums would be complete without a visit to the Guinness Storehouse. It has consistently been voted the most popular destination for visitors to the city, with many locals taking part in the experience as well. Follow the story of how Guinness became Ireland’s most famous export and its impact on the city that brewed it."

"No trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to The Guinness Storehouse and every tourist seems to come back there at least once. The Guinness Storehouse is an impressive building: the core of the building is shaped like a giant pint glass, consisting of seven floors. Visitors get to see how Guinness is made."

"The Guinness Storehouse’s restaurants are now open to the public without an experience ticket. Explore how our beers from the Guinness Brewery can uniquely cut, contrast or complement our menus."

"The very unique Hang Dai is the best Chinese in Dublin for groups of friends looking for a bite to eat before a night on the town. An elegant spot located in the centre of Dublin on Camden Street, Hang Dai boasts a cheerful ambiance and is an ideal place to visit for a special occasion. They specialise in the apple wood-fired duck, but also serve other delectable dishes like steamed eggplant and asparagus spring rolls."

"Boiled & BBQ Pigs Trotter with Dry Garlic, hot off our new Spring Menu 😍. A spectacular spot located in the heart of Dublin, Hang Dai Chinese Restaurant has very chic and elaborate décor and a cheerful ambiance. The star of the menu is the apple wood-fired duck."
