Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Dublin

"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."

"Fade Street Social is celebrity chef Dylan McGrath’s baby and it was voted Best Restaurant in Dublin by TripAdvisor readers. That should come as no surprise. We like it because it’s informal and relaxed but with really great food – and it’s got an interesting name."

"The rooftop bar of Fade Street Social is one of the best people watching spots on the planet. Ample seating both inside and outside, and some of the best cocktails in Dublin. These guys have nailed it."

Oh, and their cosy terrace is ideal for eating and people watching in the summer!"

A favourite of visiting celebrities and locals alike.Coppinger Row is known for delivering consistently...See More"

"You’ll find a fresh, in season menu at what has to be one of the best looking outdoor terraces in Dublin."

"One of Temple Bar's favourite pubs, it has spent the past six weeks renovating its beer garden in preparation for reopening. The cosy spot has space for 40 people and has a small stage that can be used for live music once it is permitted again. Owner Nathy Towey added: "We are really looking forward to getting going again next week. The team here are ready and praying for good weather."

"Named after a brothel madam witch turned into presumably the first Irish serial killer, Darkey Kelly’s is a place where the house band and ballads make the …"

"Temple BarIf you fancy going to a proper Irish pub in Temple Bar, skip the ones along the main drag of the district. Sure, with the cobbled streets outside and the strains of trad music through the doors, they might look legit. But they’re as touristy as they come, and some of them sneak up the price of a pint after 11pm (when you’re less likely to be checking your bill)."

"A few others to consider are The Palace Bar, a traditional Victorian-era pub, The Brazen Head which is believed to be Ireland’s oldest pub dating back to 1198, and Buskers which offers a more contemporary bar atmosphere with modern cocktails. Dublin Itinerary Day 3"

"For when you need a break from fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, Irish breakfasts, and Guinness:. It’s a Northside gem, just by the Spire (commonly referred to as the ‘Stiffy on the Liffey’ because of its, erm, astute shape)!. This Szechuan style restaurant has a huge menu, but my no-fails are: garlic chili green beans, kung pao chicken, pork dumplings, and the salt and pepper prawns."

"Conveniently located right in the centre of the city off O’Connell Street, M&L serve up classic Chinese and Sichuan dishes in a simple yet elegant dining room. Location: 13/14 Cathedral Street, Dublin. Website:http://mlchineserestaurant.com"

"Established by two Irish culinary arts graduates who spent time in San Franciso perfecting their craft, Scéal Bakery specialises in sourdough bread and handcrafted croissants. Their baked goods are painstakingly made over the course of multiple days to ensure each loaf and pastry has their signature aroma, flavour, and texture. Scéal Bakery source local Irish ingredients where possible, and adapt their menu to take advantage of seasonal produce."

"Price: €3.50Look: 5/5Texture: 4/5Taste: 4.5/5Value: 2.5/5Total: 16/20. Verdict: The lack of a decent bakery on this side of Dublin 8 explains the ridiculous queue to get to the Scéal counter inside the Fumbally market on a Saturday morning. But is it really worth the hype and the painful wait to get this croissant?"

"The Cupcake Bloke opened The Bakery in Rialto last year and it's one of the cutest places ever. They have everything from scones, cakes, bread and cupcakes, as well as an array of jams and Irish made treats. They also make the tastiest pasteis de nata I've had."

"Just on the other side of the Liffey from Phoenix Park, in Kilmainham, the Irish War Memorial Gardens are a beautiful quiet spot for a first look or your wedding portraits. Just like with St Stephen’s Green and Iveagh Gardens, you’ll need to get permission from the OPW. In return you’ll get one of the most beautiful backdrop of wisteria, roses or ivy – depending on what season you find yourself there!"

"The General Post Office located in the center of O’Connell St., Dublin’s main street, is one of Ireland’s most famous of buildings. It currently is a working post office but is more recognized as the main stronghold of the rebels of the 1916 Irish “Rising,” on the country’s quest for independence, and also for its beautiful architecture. There is also an option of a paid admission attraction highlighting and explaining in great detail the 1916 Rising. I was unable to see this exhibition about the uprising, but I will make it a point to check it out the next time I’m in Dublin."

"The General Post Office (GPO) on O’Connell Street is among the most fascinating and evocative of Dublin’s historic sites. Designed in the Greek Revival style and still a working post office to this very day, the GPO is not just an architectural goldmine. As the main stronghold of the Irish volunteers in the Easter Rising of 1916, it’s also closely tied to Ireland’s struggle for independence in the earlier part of the 20th century."

"Highlights on and around O'Connell Street include: The historic General Post Office where the 1916 rebellion started, the Hugh Lane Art Gallery, the popular shopping area Henry street and the vibrant market stretch Moore Street, with colourful street traders and ethnic shops. The main drag is very busy, but the best parts are on the side streets surrounding it!"

"Just south of Phoenix Park and drawing a largely local crowd, this smaller park is an equally pleasant alternative. Stroll past the hurling grounds for a riverside view of rowers in action on the Liffey, or continue to the memorial gardens, dedicated to the fallen Irish soldiers of the First World War. The elaborately-landscaped grounds are fittingly tranquil."
