Great all day breakfast cafรฉ in Temple Bar. Must admit that this might not be everybody's cup of tea, specially if you have any dietary requirements. Otherwise, a pretty simple and tasty breakfast spot!

Pubs & Restaurants

The Old Spot
@theindietripper
No ordinary pub-food... This is 'fine-dining' style food in a relaxed, warm and cosy pub setting. The food itself is like a comforting hug for your belly with the likes of truffle Mac 'n' Cheese and mushroom risotto with crispy sage. Cured organic salmon is pretty exceptional. And a lighter starter means you'll have room for one of their delectable deserts. Wines are available by the glass, bottle or carafe.

Old Mill Restaurant
@MIMiTravels
Great traditional Irish foods. Big portions! Very good set menus, at rather affordable prices for Temple Bar. Recommend: Seafood Chowder, Shepherd's Pie & Guinness Stew with Brown Bread.

The Lord Edward
@theindietripper
Sit at the bar downstairs and chat to the locals and bar staff, or at weekends enjoy the comfy surroundings of the upstairs lounge. With views of the beautifully-illuminated Christchurch Cathedral from its windows, plus an open fire and walls heaving with historical paraphrenalia, its cosy, inviting atmosphere, plus excellent pints of Guinness, makes this the perfect spot for catching up with friends. With no music and no TV (upstairs - there is a tv in the bar downstairs), expect only the hum of convivial conversation. Make sure to grab some of Dublin's finest fish and chips from Burdock's before you leave - just around the corner from the pub

Bars & Clubs

Stella Cocktail Club
@theindietripper
Luxuriate in the plush, elegant 1920s-inspired surroundings while sipping on one of their classic cocktails, or go wild and try one of their more experimental creations. Staff are warm, friendly and the ultimate professionals. Food is good too. Located in Rathmines, a youthful neighbourhood just a few kms from the city centre. Worth noting - downstairs you'll find one of the most unique cinematic experiences. All of the 1920s glamour is replicated, with the option of booking a plush armchair or couch, or even a bed, to enjoy a film in the lap of luxury. You can bring your cocktails in to the movie, and order food directly to your table. There's even a huge footstool in front of each seat, doubling as storage for your coat and bag, and a place to rest your legs. You'll never want to leave

Lemon & Duke
@theindietripper
New York-style cocktail bar, just off Grafton St. Fabulous bright and spacious interior with copper features and plush leather seats - best spot is sitting at the bar. Wide-ranging and inventive cocktail menu but they also offer a good selection of craft beers (Urquell Pilsner is really good) and wine by the glass or bottle (glasses from โ‚ฌ7) With a relaxed, easy-going vibe and friendly staff, this is a great spot to come for afternoon drinks with friends, or on a date. The food is really good too

The Big Romance
@theindietripper
From cool leather booths to walls lined with vinyl, the vibe is hip without being too hipster - staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Monday to Thursday, come along to hear staff pick and play a selection of their favourite records. You can even bring your own LPs for a chance to listen on their high-spec soundsystem Fridays and Saturdays, it's open late for DJ sets while on Sundays, book in advance for the wonderful Sunday Live Jazz sessions. Reservations are essential to bag one of the prime tables in front of the stage but walk-ins are always welcome too. One of the best spots in the city Oh and you can also order pizza to your table, courtesy of One Society. 10' is standard and they are seriously delicious - prices from โ‚ฌ10.50
