Oriel Bar & Bistro in Youghal

Classy spot in the heart of Covent Garden. Great food, drinks and live music.

We had a reservation for 18:30 and arrived a bit early. The upstairs bartender immediately told us—without even checking our names—that our table wasn’t ready. No problem; we took a short walk and returned on time, only to be told again that our table still wasn’t ready. It was finally ready at 18:45, which was frustrating since we were on a schedule. What made it worse was seeing the bar downstairs nearly empty, with most tables unoccupied. That said, the cocktails were excellent, and the service downstairs was great.

Amazing food, service & atmosphere, great place to celebrate small birthday or special occasions.

Went as a group of 6 and an amazing place, atmosphere was wonderful, food was delicious, the service was fantastic and the live music topped it up. A truly spectacular experience and would visit again. 🤩

It’s a great place to enjoy a Friday evening with Friends and live band !!! Highly recommend if U wanna have a feeling of local vibe !!! The show fee per head is £12, any drink would be on top of that

Oriole Bar is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing evening or a special occasion. The cocktail selection is incredibly creative, with unique flavors and ingredients that surprise and delight the palate. The staff is extremely professional and attentive, always ready to recommend the perfect drink based on personal tastes. Furthermore, the venue has an intimate and sophisticated charm, with a design with attention to the smallest details. Oriole Bar is definitely a place not to be missed for those who love to spend a wonderful evening. A special thank you for this magnificent experience goes to Alessio who welcomed us as if we were at his home, giving us explanations of the dishes and pampering us. It left an important stamp in our hearts making us fall in love with this place. I recommend it to you. Well done guys. You have chosen excellent staff

Booked to see The Fezzes (awesome) and had a perfect seat right in front of the stage. Drank two of the best martini cocktails of my life! Had to order some padron peppers on the side because my greed was overwhelming seeing other people’s dinners (will be coming again for the food). My friend tried a couple of different cocktails and one in particular was like drinking liquid smoke. Delicious!

Nice cocktails and friendly staff although the upstairs lacks atmosphere, was too bright. Would’ve preferred to have sat downstairs, waiter said they’d check if there was space, but didn’t get back to us. London prices and tasty drinks

Great night at Oriole. The place is really interesting and music was good but the highlight of the night was the food. Absolutely fantastic !! It’s not cheap but quality is top top 👌

Teriyaki de salmón, muy bueno. El personal es muy agradable, el centro de ocio estaba impecable, aparcamiento por encima y por debajo. Es una gran parada para Kerry o City
