Last night was the perfect Thursday night in Hare’s Corner.

Brian’s Wines took us on a journey through natural wine, with each glass paired with amazing canapés from our sister café, Bakestone Perry Street.

Full room, great food, great chat, and plenty of friendships made over wine — the kind of night Hare’s Corner was made for.

We’d love to know which wine was your favourite — we’ll be adding our favourite to the wine menu here at The White Horse.

And we’re delighted to welcome Brian back again later this month with Tiger Balm Club, Sunshine Primo and Mark Ahern for a fun, vibrant Southeast Asian BBQ full of flavour, wine, good company and summer fun on 20th and 21st June.

Bank Holiday Monday, first day of June — perfect.

We’re open from 1pm for lunch, with all the favourites on the menu.

Later this evening, Jimmy MacCarthy is back upstairs for night two of his residency with Declan Sinnott & The Electric Horsemen.
Evening dining is nearly full, with just a few tables left, so booking ahead is a good idea.

Doors open at 8pm, but why not call in a little earlier? Grab a drink in Hares Corner or the beer garden and meet up with a few fellow Jimmy MacCarthy fans.
For dining, book online at whitehorse.ie or call us from 1pm on 021 487 1388.

Last few tickets for our Natural Wines Tasting with Brian’s Wines 🍷

We love natural wines because they’re full of character — made by independent growers, with a real sense of place, personality and story behind every bottle.
Brilliant with food. Made for the table.

Join us on Thursday 11th June as Brian O’Connor guides us through five natural wines, paired with canapé-style bites.

This Wednesday, great friends return to The White Horse.
Dirk & Amelia Powell are back — last time they were here was Winter Music Festival 2025 with Rhiannon Giddens. Magical doesn't cover it.
Now they're back with Dirk's new album Wake — joy, loss, love and adventure woven into every note. Steve Earle calls him "an artist of unique vision and unbending integrity." We agree.
