Having A Social Scoop? Here’s Eight Ideal Spots For A Liquid Lunch

Éadaoin Fitzmaurice

There’s something about the sunny weather, it just makes me want to have a cocktail in hand at all times.

If you an your gang are having a social catch-up, there’s no better way to do it than over a few drinks. With the fast-paced world we live in, I’m sure there’s more than a few things you’ll need to celebrate when you’re reunited with you mates – New jobs, houses, proposals? Ah sure look even if not, celebrate the fact that you’re alive and kicking, aye?

Here’s some deadly spots to bring the gang for a scoop or two.

1. Drury Buildings

Behind a colourful, graffitied wall on Drury Street you’ll find a trendy cocktail bar that serves up one of the best Espresso Martinis in the city.

This place is super central too, so know matter what corner of Dublin you’re coming from – It’s a handy one.

What a spot.

Beachy vibes and summery flavours – Sure you can’t go wrong.

This venue is really different from anywhere else in Dublin and it makes for a very unique cocktail experience.

Look out over Dublin Bay while you sip on a tasty drink – Dream.

3. Urchin

One of the most brightly coloured cocktail bars in town, Urchin is a hot spot for daytime drinks.

They serve up a decadent Ferrero Rocher cocktail and I honestly nearly cry every time I think of it because I just want it in my hand 24/7.

Too good.

5. Idlewild

You’d walk right past this cosy neighbourhood bar on Fade Street without even noticing it.

With its long comfy couches, dim lighting, stacks of books and massive fireplace, you feel like you’re in someone’s living room.

You can see why this place doesn’t have a sign outside, everything about the neighbourhood bar says it wants to be low-key.
