There’s nothing I love more than getting ready to go out.
Sometimes, that’s the best part of the night.
Having the tunes playing, putting your makeup on and watching yourself transform into a different version of yourself. Unfortunately, we don’t always get the chance to get glammed up as often as we’d like.
After-work drinks usually take place in the nearest local, in whatever clothes you managed to throw on yourself that morning.
But there are a few places that absolutely require you to get all dolled up:
1. House
This little spot on Leeson Street is home to one of the best mojitos I’ve ever tried. With seriously swish surroundings, it calls for your best heels.
2. Mint Bar
Located underneath the uber fancy Westin Hotel, the Mint Bar is set in an actual bank vault. With good cocktails and a nice food selection too, you’re winning.
3. Peruke & Periwig
You can find the ultimate cocktail experience at Peruke & Periwig, which calls for the ultimate outfit. These guys have been around for yonks, and really know their stuff.
4. The Dean Hotel
Home to Sophie’s, an incredible rooftop bar and all round fancay atmosphere, you wouldn’t be caught dead here without your outfit being on point.
Don’t forget to get your pic taken on the swing at Sophie’s, because if you didn’t get a picture did you even go?
5. The Spencer
Drinks in The Spencer bar is a must if you want to feel fancy as feck.
6. The Marker Rooftop
The rooftop bar in The Marker is known through Dublin for having some of the best views of the city, some of the best cocktails and some of the best outfits.
7. Suesey Street
Start your glam night off with some of the gorge food in Suesey Street, before trying some of their insane drinks.
8. The Vintage Cocktail Club
To get a spot in this gorgeous 1920’s inspired bar, you need to book ahead in advance. It’s that good.
9. The Liquor Rooms

10. Farrier and Draper
