Big 7 Travel have included The Blind Pig and 9 Below in their 50 Best Cocktail Bars In Europe 2020 list.

It is the second year in a row that renowned travel website Big 7 Travel have included The Blind Pig in the top 20, with the Suffolk Street spot coming in at number 16 in this year’s list. In the article, the bar is described as a ‘beautiful speakeasy and prohibition bar located in a hidden basement just off Dublin’s Grafton Street.’ The blurb goes on to say that ‘the bar offers an authentic prohibition era experience and the bartenders are well known for being some of the best in the industry.’
