I like to drink. Here is where I drink.
1. Idlewild
2. Vintage Cocktail Club
Kim Pham: Best cocktail club in Dublin - reminds me of Death & Co in New York City.
3. Dingle Whiskey Bar
Kim Pham: STELLAR selection of whiskey. Come on a weekday night for a proper experience.
4. P. Mac’s
Kim Pham: If you're lucky, grab a small enclosed booth with a group of friends!
5. Bow Lane
Kim Pham: Cozy new bar next to Whitefriar Grill. The Legacy 1661 cocktail is excellent if you like a touch of fernet.
6. Peruke & Periwig
Kim Pham: Refreshing takes on classic cocktails. The Muay Thai is perfect if you like a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet.
7. The Blind Pig Speakeasy
Kim Pham: Let the bartenders surprise you!
8. Upstairs @Kinara Kitchen
Kim Pham: Excellent cocktails. No menu- just give them a base spirit or flavour and they'll take care of you. The old fashioned is excellent.
9. Xico
Kim Pham: The world's loveliest lads work here. Great music on the weekends, cool crowd, *and* they let you dance on the bar!
10. 37 Dawson Street
Kim Pham: Walk to the back bar + talk to the bartender about whiskey. He knows his stuff.
11. Cassidy's Bar
Kim Pham: It's easy to miss this place, but Cassidy's is such a great little dive. Grab a Sharpie & leave your mark on the walls!
12. The Bernard Shaw
Kim Pham: Most Brooklyn bar in all of Dublin. They host a flea market on Sunday once/month and it's deadly during the summer!
13. Doheny & Nesbitt
Kim Pham: A proper old man pub with the best fish & chips in Dublin.
14. The Liquor Rooms
Kim Pham: If you like whiskey, try the Redleg Rebellion. An Irish take on a mai tai with dehydrated pineapple garnish!
15. Bar with No Name / Bar No.3 / Kelly's / The Snail
Kim Pham: It's not actually so "secret" - find the door with a snail above it and walk up the stairs (it's above L'Gueleton).
16. Sophie's
Kim Pham: Don't have reservations? Sit at the bar & enjoy the view!
17. Opium
18. The Market Bar
Kim Pham: Go upstairs to Black Market, their semi-hidden cocktail bar.
19. Hogan's Bar
20. Bowe's Lounge
Kim Pham: A great "old man pub" with a surprisingly good whiskey selection.
21. Yamamori Izakaya
22. Tengu Izakaya
23. Pygmalion
Kim Pham: I try and avoid this place on the weekends (it gets absolutely swamped). They do 2-for-1 cocktails on Sundays (and most weekdays) - Sunday Funday, anyone?
24. Olesya's Wine Bar
25. The Temple Bar
Kim Pham: Total tourist trap - go once and pay the absurd price per pint, just to say you did it!
26. The Globe
Kim Pham: Good late-night bar option for when every other bar nearby shuts down early.
27. The Stag's Head
Kim Pham: A proper old man pub! They also do lovely hot ports 🍷
28. The Ginger Man
Kim Pham: This is a proper "old man pub." Fish & chips are pretty delicious.
29. Howl at the Moon
Kim Pham: Like Spring Break 2010 - tacky and fun.
30. Toners Pub
Kim Pham: The back beer garden is one of the best ways to spend a warm early evening in Dublin.
31. 52 South William
Kim Pham: Revived and nice as ever! Chill spot on the weekends.
32. Madigan’s
Kim Pham: Skip dinner (food is underwhelming, at best), but stay for the drinks and good vibes!
33. Koh Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge
34. 10 Stephen's Green
Kim Pham: Decent cocktails. The best part about this place? They serve pizzas until 2am!
35. Ukiyo Bar
Kim Pham: Agedashi tofu is excellent- crispy fried tofu in a light soy broth. Delicious and light, all at once.
36. Wigwam
Kim Pham: Lovely cocktails and they do stellar gluten-free brisket sambo bar bites!
37. The Exchequer
Kim Pham: The pork belly entree is unreal.
38. Chelsea Drug Store
Kim Pham: Order the Penicillin. Thank me later.
39. The Barge
Kim Pham: Sit outside on the canal during the summertime.
40. The Grand Social
Kim Pham: The music venue upstairs is a great place to catch live shows.
41. Camden Exchange
