Boojum in Dublin

20/10/2024: What a place. I fell in love with Stella cocktail club. Had some friends over for 'celebrating' my birthday and the place is just stunning. Amazing service, amazing cocktails, clean and nice smell toilets. The only thing made me sad was that the cinnamon sugar sticks are not on the menu :( but brownie was amazing. I would highly recommend Stella for cocktails. Haven't tried food, but I definitely will be back so next time will have food and cocktails. BTW - Long island ice tea was mouthwatering

16/09/2024: I booked a table for 4 at 7:30 on a Sunday night having booked cinema tickets at 8:30 after a weekend enjoying fully what Dublin can offer in terms of food and beverage offerings. Unfortunately, this experience stopped a few minutes after checking in a place only half full. The 3 stars of this comment were obtained thanks to the good efforts of a nice and hard working waiter trying to save what can be called a catastrophic service by his other colleagues 1) 7:31 The waiter asks us if we want to eat. We answer yes, which resulted on only receiving the food menu. 2) 7:35. We ask the cocktail menu. We receive only one for all of us until we asked for more (it is a cocktail bar with a one page description for each cocktail). 3) 7:45 waiting to order. Our first waiter disappeared. 4) 7:50 we order at the bar as nobody came to take our order 5) 7:55 We ask if we can have tap water to a waitress passing by (our glasses were still upside down on the table). She serves one of us in an agressive manner. I complain. She replies agressively. 6) 8:00 I complain to the nice and hard working waiter. 7) 08:02 He takes the order again 8) 08:05 We receive the cocktail and part of the food 9) 08:10 Prawn tempura arrived. I mention this is a shrimp toastie but certainly not a tempura. No waiter seems to know what a tempura is. 10) 08:30 We go enjoy the movie. The nice waiter offers a pint to each of us to compensate for the bad experience. 11) General comment : this is a cocktail bar, it is expected to have some regular changes in the menu, which does not appear to be the case, or in a very limited way. In summary, a risky bet before starting a night in a great cinema.
