Number 98 in The The 50 Best Bars 51-100.

We’ve read that line more times than we can count over the last few days, thanks to you all for the love that’s been shown through your messages, shares and posts.

This bar was always poitín first. Seeing that idea recognised alongside bars we’ve long admired is seriously humbling.

We look forward to seeing you and serving you this weekend and we’ll be working twice as hard to make sure we deliver on our promise.

The world’s oldest licensed distillery comes to Dublin 7.

We’re handing the tasting room over to Bushmills Ireland for an evening through some of the oldest and most prestigious expressions in Irish wh***ey. Hosted by Bushmills Brand Ambassador Mark McConville, this Spirit Showcase is a journey through the prestige single malt collection - the depth, character and complexity that only come with time, patience and considered maturation.

Your ticket gets you a welcome cocktail on arrival and 5 drams from the prestige collection, plus the stories from behind each bottle and a closer look at what makes Bushmills Single Malt so distinctive.

Get your tickets now via the link in our bio.

Diamond Ice.

They turned crystal-clear hand-cut ice into a reality - triple-distilled water, frozen and cut into cubes, spheres and diamonds. Independent, environmentally aware, part of the local community, and serious about the one detail most people overlook. Great ice isn’t a garnish. It’s the difference between a good drink and a clear one.

That’s what shapes the Crystal Clarity. Diamond Ice Sculptures
