For date night, girls night, or plain old Friday night.
If we didn't already love wine as it was, an aul global pandemic and Government mandated lockdown will really do it for ya.
There were times over the past couple of years when browsing the supermarket shelves for the perfect bottle (after queueing for 40 minutes to get in, of course) would be the highlight of ones month. Now that's all behind us and we find ourselves out in the open, still yearning for the warm hug of a full-bodied cab sav, or the crispness of a pale pinot G. Luckily, there's no shortage of great wine bars to hit up in Dublin's fair city - whether you're looking for a vibe-y spot with peak people watching potential or a romantic corner tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this list has you covered.
