This cool bar (perhaps a little too cool) is located in one of the central hubs of Dublin’s music scene. Its layout is not too dissimilar to a classy American bar, with booths, tasteful décor and art. The tasty mojitos, a particular fave, have helped it win the National Hospitality Award for Best Cocktail Bar. The cool crowd lap up the DJs' funky, slightly obscure taste. It’s a little pricey, but if you’re lucky enough to get a booth, a great Dublin pub in which to kick off your night. The food is great and on Fri there's a free BBQ for the work crowd 17:00 - 19:30
