Gin Palace Dublin

You'll walk into Gin Palace and immediately clock the serious spirit collection lining the walls—we're talking hundreds of bottles here. It's the kind of place where the staff actually know their stuff and won't just throw you a gin and tonic if you want something more interesting. The bar itself has that Dublin pub energy but with a craft cocktail edge, somewhere between your local and somewhere you'd take someone to impress. It gets properly buzzy of an evening, especially around the weekends when the North City crowd rolls through.
