Guidebook for Rathgar
Drinks & Nightlife
Slattery’s is one of those quintessential Dublin pubs that you can walk into and have the chats with whomever is there. It doesn’t look like it’s been decorated since the 1920s, which suits me just fine. The staff are friendly and are up for a laugh but they really don’t care how your day was! If you pass the main entrance and go in the next door on your left, off the main street, you walk into a hall/snug and it’s a really quiet and cosy place to read and have a pint, or whatever you’re having!

Here in Dublin, you are never very far away from national or international live music. Rathmines, a stones throw from Rathgar is no different. It has recently become home to a fantastic live venue called The Bowery. It has a nautical theme and serves a selection of craft rums aged in smoked barrels, and rum based cocktails. Resident DJs include Le Galaxie’s Michael Pope and Today FM’s Kelly-Anne Byrne. They have Irish bands such as, Ham Sandwich, The Eskies, Jerry Fish playing there. They also do free shows/nights: The Clandestinos, ska/punk/raggae ‘Go Funk Yourself’ Sunday funk sessions, Stand up comedy Mondays, SOS (open mic night) Shipstern Open Sessions, etc. This is a really great local

The Bottler’s Bank aka The Bottler’s is a warm, friendly and classically decorated pub in the heart of Rathgar, opposite the Bank of Ireland. The snug on your right-hand-side as you walk in is the best spot in the pub and it would comfortably fit eight people. There is a large, well-decorated, covered smoking area, which has two big screens for all the sport you wish to watch (usually rugby). The staff are personable, efficient and they pull a great pint of Guiness. There are some craft beers and a good selection of whiskeys and gins also. If you’re hungry you can order a pizza from the artisan pizza and craft beer restaurant, The Revolution, next door and you can enjoy it with your pints,’a

The Revolution is an artisan pizza and craft beer restaurant. Their pizzas are really good, quite close to a pizza you might get in Italy. I’d recommend the Basil Faulty but I’ve tried quite a few and all have been superb. They have a wide range of craft beers and the staff are well versed on the different tastes of each beer. There is limited seating space so do book early.

The Spice Guru is one of the best Indian takeaways in Dublin that we’ve ever tasted. The food really tastes authentically Indian. The food tastes really fresh and they claim not to use any preservatives, MSG or artificial colours in their dishes, which we wholeheartedly believe. Their vegetable samosas are to-die-for and their Rogan Josh is amazing.
