Bow Lane

Grafton Street & St Stephen's Green


It's a 1950s-style cocktail bar, but with a standout menu. Main dishes are hearty – think West Cork Wagyu beef burgers or meltingly soft lamb shanks, and the bar bites are divine – the truffle fries are smothered in Parmesan and bacon. Things get a little raucous at the weekend, when it serves bottomless booze at brunch for €25 per person.
