Full description

Bar 1661 is a cocktail bar in the Rotunda area, rated among the best-reviewed drinks venues in Dublin. Its menu stands out for creativity and for the way poitín, the traditional Irish spirit, runs through the cocktail programme.

Reviewers note that even people who do not usually enjoy whiskey-based drinks find plenty to like, and they single out friendly, well-informed staff who offer recommendations. It is open daily, with longer hours at weekends, and works well for a date, a small group or a memorable last night in the city.

Reviews

Really loved Bar 1661. I’m not usually a fan of whiskey-based cocktails, but there were so many options and the cocktails were genuinely brilliant. The staff were excellent and gave us some great recommendations. The welcome drink was also such a lovely touch. Would definitely go back!
