The 7 Best Spots For a Spritz in Dublin

The only acceptable way to while away the sunny evenings is with a Spritz in Dublin

But nothing hits as reliably every summer, so here are the top spots to check out if only Spritz will hit the spot.

7. Sfuso
Bloom Lane

Perfectly proportioned, aggressively Italian, and comes with olives that are somehow also pickled feelings.

06. Cafe Cagliostro
Bloom Lane

This Aperol has a side hustle. There’s art on the wall and everyone is hotter than you. It’s bubbly, sharp, cool in a way that feels curated. You order tinned fish and snap a pic.

05. House
Leeson Street

It’s not trying to impress you. The orange is popping, probably. The ice is square. You drink it slowly like you're in a short story about two people who will never sleep together, but almost do.

04. That’s Amore
Monkstown

You walked from the DART, which makes it taste better. It’s not too sweet. There’s condensation on the glass like a cheek pressed to a cold window. Your friend says she’s getting divorced. You say: “Fair.”

03. Penny Lane
Capel Street

Austere but romantic. The Aperol is balanced like a well-structured sentence. It sets you up for an evening of whiling the night away. You’re in love with the staff. So is everyone else.

02. The Bridge 1859
Ballsbridge

It's giving goldilocks. Taken outside on a Tuesday when you should be working. Sweet but not too sweet.

01. Balfe’s
The Westbury Mall

Made with reverence. Ice that clinks with intent. You drink it as a prelude to something beautiful and difficult, like confession or a very good tomato. You deserve this as a spritzy treat at least once in your life.
