BAR 1661 in Dublin

Meatiest oysters I've ever had. Huge and unique cocktail selection.

Interesting cocktails with a detailed menu book, we tried the Belfast coffees and surprisingly served cold, very tasty, then we tried a couple more made with porcine very different but really nice, dark lighting and atmospheric, it’s a must try, good service.

Bar 1661 in Dublin is a really cool place with a great atmosphere. The menu itself is impressive, you can tell a lot of care and effort went into crafting it. I loved how it pays tribute to the local businesses that helped build the bar and contributed to its success. As for the drinks, they're tasty, solid, and innovative, definitely miles ahead of your average random pub in Dublin. If you're new to craft cocktails, they'll probably blow you away. From the perspective of someone who's visited a few places on the World's 50/100 Best Bars list, they might not leave you completely spellbound, but they are genuinely good and well-crafted. The only downside was the reservation. Even though I booked a week in advance and confirmed the day before, it felt like they completely forgot about it. Upon arrival, I was only offered seating at the bar or right by the entrance, even though I could see empty tables further inside. Despite that slight issue with the table, it's still a solid spot overall and worth a visit for the menu concept and a good drink.

Lovely spot, very detailed service explaining the cocktails. Tried 2 both were excellent. 4pm on a Saturday and all tables inside were full so a great buzz. Cocktails taken seriously and to be appreciated not slammed back. Beautiful presentation.

We had the most incredibly time here. My only issue is that we couldn't stay longer. Genuinely, the cocktails where phenomenal and the staff where attentive. We are back in May next year and this is on the list.

This place was recommend to us so we had to pop in. Upon arriving we thought they were closed, but don't be fooled by the dark appearance. They are very much open and very much a vibe. A HUGE shout out to Jen and Jonty!! Their service and personalities were top teir! From menu knowledgeable all the way down to thier friendliness, 10 out of 10 recommend. This is a great place for date night, have a cocktail, or just unwind and mellow out. When I visit Dublin again, I will be popping in.

One of the most traditional pubs in Dublin!

Really cute spot for a fabulous drink!

We went to celebrate the 30th birthday of one of us and have one cocktail for fun, and we found Jess there, one of the waitresses and she was just outstanding. She helped us to find the best cocktail for all of us that fits our taste, we were 3. All of them were amazing. And she was very understanding about preferences. Thank you Jess. We will go back without a doubt.

Straight up one of the best cocktail bars I have ever been to when it comes to the cocktails. They knew their stuff! My wife who is not really a cocktail person really enjoyed herself with her single cocktail and amazing mocktails!!
