Gin Palace in Dublin

17/05/2026: Really great spot for food. Drinks experience a little flat in terms of atmosphere if going solo but great if that’s not an issue.

02/04/2026: I lived in Blackrock for nearly two years, and from the moment I first walked into Kelly and Coopers, I was made to feel genuinely welcome and immediately at home. That warmth and hospitality made settling into Blackrock far easier than I could have expected, and it is something I will always remember with real gratitude. The service was exceptional throughout attentive, friendly, and delivered so naturally that every visit felt effortless and enjoyable. It was often the case that before I had even thought about leaving my seat, a member of staff would already be there to ask if I was ready for another pint, which perfectly reflected the high standard of care and attentiveness that defined the place. The food was consistently excellent, always enjoyable and clearly prepared with care. The smoking area was a favorite retreat of mine a calm, inviting space with a pleasant atmosphere, ideal for relaxing and taking a moment to unwind. It is a place I genuinely miss and one I look forward to returning to on my next trip. My sincere best wishes to all of the staff, and thank you for making my time in Blackrock all the more memorable.
