The Dean Dublin

You'll take the lift to the top floor and step into one of Dublin's best elevated drinking spots. The rooftop terrace gives you proper sweeping views across the city centre - on a clear day you can see all the way to the Dublin Mountains. The cocktail menu leans heavily into creative serves with Irish spirits, and they know their way around a proper G&T. The crowd is a mix of hotel guests, after-work drinks crews from the nearby offices, and locals who've sussed out that this spot delivers on both drinks and atmosphere. Service can be patchy when they're rammed, but the bartenders generally know their stuff. It's pricier than your average Dublin pub, but you're paying for the location and those views.
