Despite the friendly service, I don't understand the high ratings. We stopped in on a Friday night because of its convenient location and were warmly greeted and immediately liked the cozy interior. The food, however, really let us down. Everything was overpriced and nothing was made fresh. The meagre kitchen set-up consists of a microwave and a toaster oven, which everything is reheated in. We ordered the stuffed pepper and prawn & chorizo starters. The portions were very small; we especially felt ripped off when we saw the size of the prawn & chorizo dish. For €8, we got 4 tiny shrimp and a few small pieces of sausage. We also shared the mushroom and spinach pizza, which was as hard as a board. I'm all for thin crust, but this was so dry, it was basically a giant cracker.... And the worst part was the mushrooms were canned! For €15, it just really didn't cut it. The staff couldn't be faulted, though. They were attentive and even gave us complimentary desserts for moving to accommodate another walk-in party. Unfortunately, I was just so disappointed with the food that I wouldn't return. read more

Bach 16 - The incredible pizza! - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

What makes Bach 16 such a special place? It's one of many eateries in this part of town, a tiny one at that, and it doesn't pretend to blow you away with slick interiors or incredible fad new ingredients. Maybe that's exactly why Bach 16 is such a lovely place, it keeps things simple, small, delicious and easy. I think it's one of the best places in Dublin to have a pizza, the pizza bases alone are to die for, perfectly thin and just crispy enough. If you're not in the mood for pizza, you can go for a salad - one of those good, rich ones, that won't leave you starving or hoping for a hint of flavour - or even some tapas. All the flavours are mediterranean inspired. Be it late (last time we went in for some dinner after 9pm) or for some brunch/lunch, they never disappoint and you can always find something that suits your preferences at the time. Heck, they even have some nice desserts or some Port to send you on your merry way.. well, merrier. It's a lovely place on a sunny weekend morning, the room gets warm and bright with the sunlight, and you can enjoy the peace and cosiness inside while outside the quays are bustling with people and cars. I might take half a star for the wine selection, but honestly, all things considered, it doesn't bother me all that much and you still can enjoy a nice glass if you know your own preferences. Drink and food prices are all very fair, and the guys are so nice that it's one of those places you just feel like giving a nice tip to thank them properly for the whole meal. read more

Bach 16 - The perfect tapa plate: Veggie Antipasti - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, D

I walk pass Bach 16 about twice a day, yet somehow I had never made it inside, until last night. We were lucky they had a free table on possibly one of the busiest evenings of the year. The place was packed and hence service a little bit hectic/ slow, but ever so friendly! Tables were extremely close, and the couple sitting beside us, may as well been at our table with about 2 cm between us. Cozy! We shared an antipasti veggie plate which was very tasty with a good selection, lots of spinach, artichoke, olives, avocado, sundried tomatoes, brie and plenty of fresh bread. (12€) My pizza with spinach, mushrooms and walnuts was one of the better ones I had this year, it was super thin and plenty of cheese too. YUM! I thought 14€ was a fair price. Wine selection was quite small, they only had a few speciality wines written out on a board. My italian Sauvignon blanc was very good. I shall return! read more

Dublin at it's best! Genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming place with a high quality wine selection, simple appetizing dishes with refined tastes, great coffees and yummy deserts. 'Bach 16' is a classy yet very laid back hideaway from frantic Bachelor's Walk. You feel the energy change as soon as you walk in and the staff works very hard at creating a pleasing and personalized experience for everyone. Delightful little den! read more

Bach 16 - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, D

Stopped in here for breakfast today. Luckily it was one of the few places open, (a lot of places closed in anticipation for hurricane Ophelia). The interior was well decorated and it looked like a nice stop for a casual breakfast. The only downside was that i chose to sit on the booth side of the table (obviously!) which wasn't very comfortable. The waiter was very nice and friendly. Took my order and brought my coffee right away. I was the only one in there at the moment so I expected my egg and bacon toastie to be done quickly. However another couple came in after and ordered the full Irish breakfast and they received their meal first so I did have to wait a bit. But again, the waiter was attentive and kept me updated. The toastie was very good! It had egg, bacon and cheese. I would get it again for sure. read more

We were so excited for this place since it came up under best pizza in Dublin and had stellar reviews. We split the margarita pizza and had a glass of the house wine each. The wine was bleh and more expensive than other places in Dublin and when the pizza came out it was even more bleh. This restaurant was our least favorite dining experience in Dublin. read more

In Dublin trying to find somewhere to have a sandwich & a glass of wine while my wife shops. It was looking bad until I found Bach 16! It was 4:30pm but the guy made a quality chicken, Italian bacon & cheese panini and served a quality glass of Chilean Cab Sav to go with it. Both really enjoyable so my afternoon was made. The salad & dressing served with the panini were worth the visit alone. Looking forward to my next visit. NB sat outside people watching while I write this! read more

Bach 16 - View from the road by the river - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, D

I was really hoping to be impressed with this place given that the atmosphere and service are absolutely fabulous - unfortunately definitely was not! The decoration and setup inside is absolutely perfect. Small and a bit Tuscany-rustic, with the tiny kitchen open to the room, friendly service, overall just a great greeting! We sat down and the guy - didn't catch his name - chatted to us about the menu, very casual, assured us they don't use microwaves or anything frozen (which had apparently been rumored on previous reviews), told us to flag him down if we needed anything. My date ordered the house wine and we opted for a few tapas and this is where the "meh" begins. For one, the house (red) wine was surprisingly bland. Really kind of a thin flavor, tasted almost as though it had been open for several days, just a big letdown. Granted, I'm a bit picky about my wine, but for a place with such a mediterranean vibe and focus, there was just not any kind of that big, bold flavor you'd expect from wines in the region, you know? Then the tapas came out - and although we ordered three items which were completely different, they all basically were the exact same thing. Drizzled in the same balsamic vinegar. Lukewarm. The roasted red pepper with goat's cheese seemed overcooked and had almost a lazy slab of the cheese sitting in the middle of it - again, not hot, just lukewarm - and the chorizo was tough and tasted like what you could easily buy yourself in Dunnes. Even the chicken failed to make any kind of impression. Additionally, we ordered the "warm chicken and chorizo" from the tapas menus and what actually came to our table was a salad - again, drizzled in the same balsamic vinegar - with a marginal amount of the chicken and chorizo. We opted not to get dessert and left quite disenchanted overall - such a letdown after such great service and good first impression. read more

Bach 16 - One of hop on/hop off tours stop by this cute wine/cafe. Owners are very friendly wine connoisseurs, get away from pubs & come! - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, D

Was here for a girl's night out and it was lovely. A very cosy feel and the service was great. Really friendly, helpful, and chatty! The food was great too. Most of us had a pizza and everyone thought they were gorgeous - the pizzas that is. They're now doing afternoon tea as well and that's definitely next on the agenda. Just a lovely place, very simple and unassuming and that's what makes it work! read more

OMG! Try the pizza - meat one was the bomb. We weren't terribly hungry so shared one between two of us, but the crust, the sauce, the taste - to die for. read more

Bach 16 is a real gem. Its a pretty new place,and the standards are high. Located on Bachelors Walk,near the bus stop, its the sort of place you could easily pass by if you were in a rush-but I tell you, if you take the time to relax and slow down you cant miss the warm glow of twinkling fairy lights in the foggy windows. This is the sort of place you come to chill, whether its on your own or with mates it doesn't really matter, its one of those intimate places that works in 90% of scenarios, be it a place to start a night off with a few drinks or end a days shopping with a coffee and some of their tasty bits and pieces ( they do a fine hunk of a sandwich that beats some of those uber alt cool hipster joints any time, and I LOVE their hummus dish, its kinda garlicky and very well priced). Its only open a while, but I'd say in summer it would be a total suntrap out the front where they have pretty little tables were you can watch the world breeze by. This place is on my route into work, I've started to stop in their in the mornings to get my coffee fix and I can safely say they do a mean cappuccino, and the staff in there are all so lovely that they always give me an extra shot :) Guys, I know this seems like a golden review- but I don't do bull-drop in and try it, then tell me I'm wrong! read more

This place was awesome, especially for those in need of a vegetarian option. The service was exceptional; in particular, Jake was fantastic. He was very friendly, gave great food recommendations, and told us of great things to do/see in Dublin. Overall an excellent evening!! read more

Was really wanting a pizza fresh off the plane into ireland and found this place away from the crazy tourist scene and super relaxing atmosphere inside! The food was great and the service was wonderful! read more

WOW what an adorable little restaurant/wine bar! I found this little gem whilst hiding from the crowds on St. Patrick's day. I had PIZZA here which was probably one of the best thin-crust gourmet pizzas I've had in a VERY long time. Plus friendly low-key service and excellent wines, made for a delightful respite from the Dublin hubub. Keep up the good work, Bach 16! read more

Simple great food and reasonable prices. If your looking for high end and formal...this isn't the place, but it IS ver atmospheric, great wine and friendly service. Specialises in Pizza and Tapas. Service was quite quick. They sedm to serve food late too as we had a booking at 7.45 and it was empty when we arrived and buzzing soon after. read more

I got a pretty early dinner here one evening and I really LOVED the goat cheese salad I had. I actually got two salads as I couldn't make up my mind but the chicken salad wasn't as good. One salad here is pretty filling for a meal! Wish I had been feeling up for a glass of wine or something. The interior is super cozy. Though it's near the tourist area, I didn't feel it was touristy, though perhaps a bit overpriced. Great, friendly service. read more

It was a Sunday afternoon when we visited and I had called ahead to book a table as it is such a small pace. I mentioned about getting a gluten free base and so long as you give some notice they are very accommodating with this.I had a glass of Argintinian Malbec at €6.25... this is my fave red wine and is usually from €8 - €11 for a glass. So I straight away ordered that interested to see if it was decent - and it was. Obviously the other side of the river prices differ vastly! We both decided to go for pizza & chose the Goat's Cheese, Roasted Pepper & Chorizo (€13) & the Pepperoni (€10.25) This pizza was amazing, thin and crispy with a generous portion of the tasty toppings. I can't say any more than it was absolutely delicious. After letting the pizzas digest we got tempted by the dessert board offering Tiramasu or a Chocolate Mousse for €5.50...so we ordered a cappuccino and the Tiramasu which arrive in a little jar with some biscotti on the side. All was fab! Wouldn't hesitate to return to this little gem but recommend booking as it's so small and cosy. read more

The best pizza we have ever had. Great restaurant & great staff. Such a quaint little place.

Very nice and quaint atmosphere, good pizza and decent prices. The entire space was being run by two people which was impressive.

We were searching for a nice place for our last night and this sounded interesting. It was described as a tapas and wine bar but it is really a nicer pizza parlor the serves a few wines. The pizza was pretty good thin crust and interesting combos. The staff as well was great. read more

Cozy. Delicious food. Fresh ingredients. Good wine. Highly recommend and hoping to go back again before leaving Dublin! read more

Bach 16 - Chicken Bruschetta - Mediterranean Near Me - Dublin, D

I went here with some friends beautiful cheese and meat platters more than plenty for two. The sandwich selection and pizzas looked delicious too. Wine superb and desserts to die for. Service friendly and effcient. Only gripe is it is very small you have to have a reservation as not a lot of tables and only one toilet. I know it's a wine bar but would probably not be able to bring hubby here as no beer but would definately come for lunch again to try out the pizza and sambos. read more

This place is truly amazing and unique in Dublin. The pizzas are a dream and the wine selection is superb! The owners are extraordinarily friendly and the service was the best I've experienced in Dublin so far. Going to go there frequently now. read more

Awesome place. Get the bruschetta, pizza, and chicken salad. Also the goat cheese tapas are really awesome. read more

Visited the restaurant because of the good reviews on yelp, to try a new restaurant. The menu promised a lot of delicious treats, but the reality turned out to be overpriced and quite bland. To add to the culinary disappointment we were completely ignored by the staff, who didn't even ask us if we wanted deserts or coffee. Instead we went around the corner to Enoteca Delle Langhe for some proper Italian stuff. With so many great restaurants around this one is a waste of time. Definitely not coming back. read more

The service was fantastic, really great atmosphere in the place. My friend and I got a pizza between us, ham and pepperoni, which was tasty but also felt like they'd heated it up with a hairdryer. Very thin crusts, quite dry, and to wash it down you can have wine or water, nothing else available. We could clearly see that the tables in the covered outer dining area were not made with functionality in mind, they're tiny and cheap, large gaps between wood beams making up the surface mean that placing a glass of any variety down becomes a perilous task, they won't fall through but they'll fall just enough to eject their contents into your lap, trust me. The tapas selection was totally bare, as if they were given a standard base menu and didn't bother to add anything interesting or original. You can have bread, you can have olive oil, you can have meat and cheese, and you can pay through the nose for all of it. All in all, it was a friendly, undercooked, overpriced dining experience that I won't be too eager to repeat anytime soon. read more

Came here looking for some good pizza in Dublin, did not disappoint. Very thin crust, but wasn't burnt on the bottom like some places. Some interesting topping choices if you're looking to mix it up - we had goat cheese with roasted peppers and chorizo. Note: small place that only seats about 20 people. read more

Wonderful place, the service was spotless, the decoration very inviting despite being in the centre of Dublin's touristic area, the live music just grand and the food was so good (had a delicious red pepper with goat cheese and nuts tapa and an exquisite pizza). And did I mention the service? Because it's worth mentioning twice. Thanks! read more

First yelp ever written after multiple years of use. Bach 16 finally propelled me to break out of my agnostic yelp review shell. While visiting Dublin with the girlfriend, we wanted a delicious, but slightly healthier option. Bach 16 hit the spot. Great service, great atmosphere. No rush and we enjoyed quality time people watching. Highly recommend bruschetta, creamy mushrooms, mozzarella salad, and mushroom pizza. Worth every bit. read more

Had a great afternoon here with a friend, we ordered pizza, a glass of sauvignon blanc, and then deserts. The pizza tasted perfect, the deserts were gorgeous, but most of all, the wine was superb! Haven't had anything quite that crisp in a long time, dry yet fruity. Very attentive and friendly staff, you can tell there is a passion going on. - will be back. read more
