The Blind Pig in Dublin

Cozy, hidden bar. Reservations recommended

My boyfriend and I booked the cocktail making class with Andrew followed by dinner - we were both so impressed by the depth of his knowledge. The class was so interesting; Andrew’s pride and passion in what he does is contagious and even though we never thought much before about cocktail making we found ourselves wanting to learn as much as we could from him. He was also our waiter for dinner after the class and he described the dishes in such detail. His presence brought such a great atmosphere to the place and we were both so impressed with the whole evening. The cocktails were delicious and the food was really good - we are so glad we went and looking forward to coming back in the future.

Nice cocktails, fun atmosphere. You enter through Pachino's, take the steps downstairs on the right.

Great experience to have. I enjoyed it

The Blind Pig had a great atmosphere. The staff was wonderful and we absolutely loved the experience.

Great speakeasy, perfectly hidden! Took us an age to find it! Great choice and lovely cocktails with helpful and knowledgeable staff!.

First time customer, celebrated our fifth anniversary here. Good experience overall (food would have been a five star, but the Salmone Marinato Agli Agrumi was way too salty). Here's a snag list for management' review on improvements and recommendations: 1. Cocktail menu: it's fancy and legible but in short supply. I know sharing is caring, but please print more menus so that your customers don't have to ask for them back each time they want to order a new cocktail. Goes a long way towards customer experience. 2. Capacity: the seating area is tiny (very little to no space between tables and chairs) so perhaps rearrange the seating area to make the experience better. I wonder if safety regulations were passed with the number of people allowed in such a small space, using the same entrance as exit which did not adequately accommodate the maximize number of customers present at 6.30pm on Friday. See S.I. No. 147/1988(5) 3. Atmosphere: you cannot hear the ambient music or your own conversation for that matter due to shouting coming from the very snuggled up restaurant patrons. 4. Waiting area for diners: As booking is mandatory, please make it clear on your website that you operate like a Swiss watch and any early arrivals (booked in advance) cannot be accomdated at the bar and must only return at the allocated booking time, not a minute early - or this was the impression we were left with. As a reminder, the restaurant should have set aside a waiting area for the purpose of accommodating only persons waiting to enter the dining area of the restaurant to consume a meal (us 🫠) 5. Hygiene: the first line of defense as they say. Personal grooming is essential in the service industry and while it's a busy and a very demanding job, a little check in the bathroom for perspiration odours ( and some deodorant top up) goes a long way in creating a hygienic and clean restaurant environment for your patrons.

Absolute Must see if you are a lover of cocktails.

Buena comida. Tenía el cheque de carne y pasta de gambas. Ambos muy sabrosos. Ambiente divertido y hablador. Personal amable y rápido. Buena selección de bebidas.
