Farrier & Draper

Grafton Street & St Stephen's Green


This opulent bar in the 18th-century Powerscourt complex combines Prohibition-era cool (staff in Peaky Blinders hats and sleeve garters) and Georgian decadence (high-vaulted ceilings, lots of paintings on the walls). Upstairs, in what was once Lady Powerscourt's private quarters, is a late-night bar and a club; downstairs is the beautiful Epic Bar; and in the basement is an Italian restaurant, La Cucina.

The name is a throwback to the trades that once occupied the courtyard of Powerscourt Townhouse.
