Pavlovs Bakery in Dublin

23/02/2026: Reviewing based on both visits to this venue. The first one (in 2024) was fab with a true speakeasy vibe and some lovely cocktails. However, I was turned away this evening from my booking which I had rearranged for an earlier time (40mins early) due to a change in our dinner reservation. This was agreed with the venue but we were turned away when we arrived (after organising our trip back to suit the last minute changes). It was a shame we didn't get to drink here again and felt let down by the comms not landing for us to be seated and had no choice but to cancel rather than wait. We would perhaps go back next time we visit Dublin due to the venue.

03/02/2026: Not too bad, true speakeasy vibes with secret password and entrance. Creepy back alley that leads you upstairs to a comfortable venue above. Downstairs is the restaurant and the more pub-like sister “speakeasy” (which is not hidden by any means and much louder). Red Elixir 3.5/5 Petite Dejuener 4/5 (better if warmed) More food reviews shared on IG (@explorewithdria) and travel experiences unfold at explorewithdria.blogspot.com!
