very trendy and exclusive place, the rooms are small but everything else there compensates for it. the garden is insanely beautiful, even in winter or rainy weather you can enjoy your drink outside, I highly recommend read more

House is easy to miss, but an absolute must-try for anyone living in or visiting Dublin. My husband and I both bookmarked it to try, so we stopped by for dinner to see if it lived up to its review hype. Spoiler alert: it did. We had a mezze board and the mushroom arancini to start. The mezze board was huge, and really decadent. The feta was really quite smooth and soft in both texture and taste -- not as sharp as one might think with classic feta. The vegetables were tangy and roasted well with a hint of vinegar (or citrus?), and served with a hummus and some sort of red pepper spread. The arancini were out of this world. Fried to perfection, but still leaving the arborio rice pleasantly firm. For our mains, we opted to have steak (my husband) and I went for the salmon, which was served on top of a bed of lentils with crispy kale and roasted potatoes. The salmon was fine, but the kale and lentils were really what I was after. The potatoes were good, too. Golden, but not super crispy. I think the BEST thing about the entire meal was the cocktail list if I'm honest. My husband is boring and went for Guinness, but I had one of my favorites: the Vesper Martini. The mixologist at House was truly gifted. It was one of the best Vespers I've ever had. read more

This review is for the hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU ARE PART OF The PARTY SCENE HERE. They should decide whether they are a nightclub or a hotel. We were kept up past 4AM by EPICALLY bad and INCREDIBLY loud karaoke occurring directly below our room. When we complained, the staff said we should have known, since there is also a night club on site. You have been warned read more

This really is one of my favorite places in Dublin, I take everyone here. Their cocktails are delicious, the decor inside is beautiful, and I am absolutely in love with their garden. The garden also has another bar outside, that looks like a greenhouse. I have now tried every item on their menu (yes, really. We go in groups) and it's all delicious. The steak crostini are my favorites, followed by the breaded mushrooms. On the weekends late at night, it becomes a club. I have to say it's not my favorite as a club, but I like chilling there with cocktails or wine on week days in the evening. read more

Is this hot spot a big secret or what...?! Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another this is the place to mess around! So, I gave it a shot and am here to shout about it with flying colors! You wouldn't know it was there if the statues of two dogs located at the entrance didn't catch your eye. It's a spot that is right in the heart of Georgian Dublin. Enter into what used to be a Georgian home but has been transformed into one of the coolest - if not THE coolest - spaces in Dublin. Private lounges, parlours, sitting rooms, tables for two and a huge garden space abound in the House. Grab a seat - there's a wealth of them - and eat, drink and be merry. There is literally no bad seat in the House! The lunch eats and lite bites are visually appealing. And, the cocktail, wine and beer list is absolutely extensive and somewhat reasonable. There are several bars to get your drink on as well! Then there's the garden / patio space - the most inviting and gorgeous patio setting I have seen yet in Dublin. This is not a beer garden - it's a champagne dream! In the evening, the red room downstairs turns into a nightclub. Cover charges are collected at midnight. Also, apparently, there's an 'open house' now and then which is a way that this establishment gives back to the community for keeping it in business! It's the best kept secret in Dublin but now it's out of the bag! read more

We came to the classy House for a quick lunch but it turned out to be anything but quick. House exudes modern elegance and seems to attract business clientele. The decor is quirky, we sat at an old boardroom type table with low comfortable armchairs for seating. The first thing that struck me when I walked in to House was the opulence, I can't express how rich everything is. The cocktail menu only helped to enhance this feeling of elegance. Even though it was lunchtime on a Wednesday we all went for a cocktail. I went for the Cuban Ivy which was a rum based drink with a sharp tangy aftertaste. As with any good cocktail it was extremely moreish, but I managed to resist a second. Food wise I opted for a simple club sandwich but to be honest it was a little dry and a little bit of a let down. I really liked House overall but the service wasn't great - at one point a waiter began to take our order and then drifted off half way through, it was a bizarre moment and he never did come back, luckily another waiter was on hand to take the full order. Overall House was ok, not exceptional, but definitely worth a visit. read more

Big fan of House, very nice and friendly staff. Tapas is good and filling, cocktails are delicious it all adds up with the hefty bill but sure one only lives once.

House - Yummy cocktail - Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

Don't get it... First impressions, I just don't get it! Yes, it's a great looking bar and has no many different sides to it, my fave being the garden area out the back however between the service and the food, I left a little disappointed after having this on my go-to list for so long. It was a quiet early afternoon, we sat out back and it was a little windy but what was so annoying is that every like 5 mins, the waitress keep closing the electric awning only for the manager/host or dude that doesn't have to wear the uniform, kept opening it... I felt like shouting, Oi, cut it out! It was annoying, the noise plus let's face it yes it's a gorgeous garden and some natural light is better but it's windy and chilly so just leave it closed, you're not the one sitting out here with your cardigan and scarf still on you! The food also took some time to come, the waitress was possible new at this as she was very awkward coming and going from the table; the final straw was when my husband was still eating, she came to clear away dishes, ok, take mine away however she proceeded to consolidate his plates including moving his knife and fork off the plate he was eating from; back off lady, he's eating! Some basic dining etiquette and it just wasn't displayed by the staff. There was also a delay with our drinks, having ordered a drink within 5 mins of arriving, it was nearly 30 mins later before we got them. The order went to a bar that was closed, so the actual barman never got the order, didn't feel this was dealt with very well and as I ordered a cocktail, it then took another 10 mins after they discovered the mistake before we finally had a beverage on the table. tut tut! I only live up the round from here however it's just not impressed me; wouldn't be rushing back. read more

How has House not made it to Yelp yet? Beautiful surrounds, a light filled conservatory, and an alfresco garden beyond - House immediately feels like home. A bustling lunch spot: the menu is simple but oh so tasty fare. Daily sandwich and soup specials are always worth a look, though it's hard to go past the chicken quesadillas. House kicks up a notch as the sun goes down, opening its doors for dinner and a newly minted nightclub downstairs. House: yup, you'll be wanting the address. read more

Really enjoy going there for food, coffee or drinks. Inside is pretty spacious but cosy at the same time with lovely interiors - the "homely" look really works - but my favourite part is the covered garden area. It's pretty big and just LOVE the way it's decorated, the chairs, fairy lights.. very very nice. They serve some pretty good food as well and staff is always really friendly. Will keep coming. read more

House - the covered garden area is sooo pretty - Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

I was only ever here for cocktails but the setting, atmosphere and the drinks were ace. The garden area out the back is gorgeous and I could happily spend an evening sipping on a cool drink out there. The drinks are pricey enough but to be expected in this part of the city in such a beautiful setting. read more

Probably my new favourite haunt in Dublin. Classy and cool the crowd who frequent are a good bunch. Drinks are at decent prices and the food is fantastic. The massive covered garden area makes for an attractive destination for drinks when you have smoker mates or just fancy some air away from the loud music. Bonus is the two dogs outside! read more

It was described to me as a night club for grown ups, as it turned out it was a pretty good description (whether i like it or not, I am 40, I am a grown up, there is really very little I can do about it!) We spent the eve in the greenhouse, out the back, beside the very ornate and warm smoking area, the bar was impressively stocked and comfortable. Highlight of the eve was the cocktail ordered by one of the guys - it came in a glass skull, it was cool! read more

I came here for lunch during a weekday (haven't been here for drinks yet). It was super low-key, well-lit, had lots of nice spaces and was a great place to have a chat. They have a nice menu for lunch choices - there's salads, soups, sandwiches, full meals, and bites. Definitely get the bravas to share - they're super yummy! I loved the sour cream and salsa sauces that came on top. My salad was really good and the prawns were very fresh. I would definitely come back for lunch some time! read more

A bar in a house. A very big house..... in the county... Gladly my visit to house did not result in a 'Blur' of a night like my coy reference. It was however a very pleasant experience. They have a new cocktail menu, inside this they have a great sloe gin negroni. A little pricey at €14, but great nonetheless. Flicking through the cocktail menu dragging my goldfinger between all manners of cocktails i noticed the section devoted to martinis. They actually have a 'Vesper Martini' listed on the menu, which is advertised as the drink of preference to one James Bond. Now upon reading this, I mindfully conjured up an experience in a glass, one that would result in girls in versace dresses falling out of the rafters into my lap, aswell as reaching into my jacket pocket to discover mysterious keys to an awaiting Aston Martin DB9. Alas the bar tender honestly informed me that it was like drinking pure alcohol, a mixture of gin and vodka and baddies. I dont really like pure alcohol so I ordered something a little softer. The staff are very friendly, I love honesty especially when it comes to a recommendation thats critiques their own menu. At the weekends this place can get rather busy. Not my cup of tea. But for a midweek drink served up within a relaxing ambience then its 'just the tonic' like the drink I shall attach a picture of, made using fresh fruit, lemon sorbet and gin. A real adults dessert. Their glassware is also wonderful. You feel important holding it. You want to take it home with you, but you mustn't do this :-) Real adults don't do this.... read more

I always try and make a stop at House when I am in Dublin as it's one of my favorite places to dance and drink in the city. The facade is fairly unassuming but know that there is always a party inside. I usually just hang around the ground floor bar area and catch that DJ but if you're really feeling rowdy, head downstairs for more of a traditional club scene with black lights, dancers, and who knows what all else. The music on the main level is more of a mix of top 40 from various decades but always something to dance to. Expect more club and electro beats on the lower level. People watching at House will never disappoint and expect to see anything and everything. From odd hen parties to misplaced out of towners, House has it all. read more

Booked a table after a dinner nearby. Service was slow but overall not a bad spot for drinks. Music good

I went here for their afternoon tea. It was fine. Nothing to write home about, the portions were small and it was expensive for what you actually get. I paid €38 for the champagne option. To be honest I was a bit disappointed as I had heard such great things about House. I thought the waiting staff were quite rude, for example when he was taking our orders he kept greeting people that were coming in the door at the same time. The decor is lovely and the atmosphere is great, there is a good mix of people that go there. We stayed and had a few drinks after the afternoon tea. The bar staff, and bouncers were great I have to say, very friendly and accommodating. The drinks are expensive if you drink spirits. Not sure about the beers or wine etc. read more

Hmmmmm. First impressions as I walked in was Wow, cool looking place! As I ventured down deeper it kept getting bigger! Then you go out the back to the garden area. Just as cool and just as big! Decor and layout is absolutely on trend. There are about 3 bars scattered throughout the pub so either they get incredibly busy or it's easy enough to get a drink without waiting for ages!! So we sat out in the garden area. It was a little cold out but they closed over the roof top and turned on the heaters for us! Just perfect. So we ordered our food and drinks which arrived to us with our food (25mins later) as the waitress sent our drinks order the the wrong bar! Anyway, our tapas arrived. We ordered the Patatas Bravas with chorizo, breaded mushrooms, chicken sliders and beef sliders. To be honest, the paratas Bravas was the nicest part of our brunch! The beef sliders with blue cheese had hardly/if any blue cheese. The chicken was incredibly dry but over all it was ok! Just OK! Towards the end of the meal I was still finishing my burgers, side plate to the left of me and an empty plate in front of me with my fork resting on it as I was still eating! Our waitress came over and started to remove some empty plates she proceeded to reach over me, remove the fork from the plate which was in front of me as I was using it (The hint is, my fork is still on it, food still in my mouth), picked up my fork and placed it on the side plate, then removed the plate in front of me! Ehhhh - What just happened! I was stunned tbh! I'm still eating and she is removing plates from underneath me! So, I'd say this is a good place to meet for a few drinks after work or for a party but I wouldn't be back for the food again.. read more

We came for an event, so I should disclose that I may not have seen it as it usually is. It was for the Lovin Dublin Brunch- you buy a ticket and get food and drinks at a certain venue. This time it was House! From the outside it just looks like what it's called- a house. One of the many on Leeson Street, so it blends in apart from the dog statues outside. It has retained a lot of it's houseness inside- it's a lovely space and they've done it up very nicely. They had set up tables in the main room absolutely dripping with food, and then we were given vouchers for drinks from the bar. My favourite part was the outside area- it was leafy and green with plenty of tables and benches. As it was a sunny day, it was comfortable to sit outside and still get shade from the plants. Service was okay, our server seemed a bit strange in his interactions with us but for the most part we got our own food and it worked well. read more

This is a hard one for me to rate, the venue is beautiful, staff charming and drinks tasty, if a little on the pricey side, but the clientele that the place attracts has put me right off. I know I may dress a little differently, favouring vintage and 50s reproduction clothing, but I hardly look like a recently landed alien, which is how I felt on Friday when I came in for some post event drinks. As one of my friends pointed out it felt like being in a zoo, with constant inappropriate comments being made to the females in my group, which is a pity, because its such a stunning space. I was in again on Sunday and had a lovey afternoon tea, and would highly recommend trying it, presented beautifully and really tasty it was a far better time to enjoy the surroundings and I will be back again for it. but can't see myself returning of a weekend night. read more

This is a really trendy and nice place. Since it is pretty posh here, you would expect the prices to match. And they do. Lunch is nice here in the garden terrace if the weather is good. Also great for weekend drinks, as the terrace is one of the biggest and nicest in Dublin. I was really surprised when I walked in here how nice the place is. I hadn't been yet. Definitely worth checking out on many levels. Seems really popular with groups of girls on the wine for the afternoon- every time I have been here there have been many of those. I can see why they like it. read more

This is my second time to visit House for midweek lunch. I am 50/50 on if I love the place. Pro's are its really cosy and decorated very fancy. Both times the food was really tasty and well presented. Today I had the superfood salad for lunch and as salads go I enjoyed it a lot. The service was quick and friendly. Price is medium for lunch compared to places close by. Our seats were in a nice position beside a fire which I appreciated on a cold winter day. Con's - I'm not sure if the staff are overly busy but they seem to forget orders on both times I have visited for lunch. This time a coffee never came which isn't a huge deal. But the first time I visited here for lunch a year ago, they forget us and we were waiting an hour for food even after we reminded them we were waiting on two occasions. They also sat us out the back garden, fine for the summer but it was spring in Ireland and quite cold. We asked about putting on the overhead heaters and the lunch time staff didn't know how to turn it on. No matter how nice the food was, I didn't enjoy it sitting shivering. I'm glad I went back today for lunch as it was a nicer experience and made me think I may do another lunch there soon. read more

When I first moved back to Dublin I literally went here every week- not sure what has changed but I don't frequent here as much. I do really like House particularly on a weekday evening when it's a little quieter and you can get seating comfortably outside. One thing that does bother me from time to time is that you will turn up and it will either be closed for a private function or you are in the midst of a company event. The drinks are good- cocktails can be expensive but you feel that you are getting your money's worth. They offer a food menu which is Tapas I believe which is good but again expensive. The age range is probably mid twenties to late 30's. read more

I was here recently on a Saturday evening for cocktails before we headed elsewhere for dinner. The interior of House is very impressive with the garden out the back a beautiful and relaxing place to sit in the sun. Everyone was happy and smiling enjoying their drinks. A very good buzz about the place. What disappointed me about House though was the service. While we were given menus quickly it took an age to get someone's attention to order our drinks and even longer for the drinks to arrive. When the drinks arrived they were good. But nothing special. We had to quickly finished up our drinks as we were now late for our dinner reservation. More delays trying to get the bill so we decided to go to the bar ourselves. When the bill arrived 3 extra drinks were included that we did not order. I will go back to House to give it another go when I have more time. It is a lovely place to sit and chill but be warned it is slow slow service and check your bill before you pay! read more

I came here for lunch with a friend who works nearby. He was going to be late for lunch and left a garbled message on my iPhone. So I waited inside this posh looking restaurant. I love the decor-leather arm chairs, fire place, big windows. I then got a text from my tardy -yes, another one-friend asking if I was inside. I said yes...it being cold outside and he came in. He said that he didn't want to go there because the service was so bad. Strange. Because from the minute I arrived the staff was very attentive! So, we ordered. I had the lunch special of chicken quesadillas with sweet potato fries. He had the club, which I was tempted to get, but glad I didn't because the bacon didn't look as crispy as I like it. But this isn't my friend's review. The lunch was huge and went down well with the Pilsner! Yes, beer at lunch. And they seem to have quite a selection both on draft and bottled. Surprisingly enough I didn't have dessert, but left sated. And impressed. read more

House - Nice and cozy spot for lunch!! - Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

500 stars. We are visiting from Boston and this restaurant blew us away. The food was AMAZING, the ambience and service was even better. Such a cool experience. A nice change from the traditional Irish food you find in a lot of the other pubs and restaurants. Highly, highly recommend!! We will be back every chance we get! Maeve is the best!! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Dublin. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, they even knew my name upon arrival. We made dinner reservations for two and they reserved a cozy table for a candlelight dinner by the fireplace looking out the window. The drinks were hands down the best drinks I've ever had in my life. A little pricey but definitely worth it for the mixology drinks. read more

Visited here for lunch today with work colleagues. There was 9 of us in total. The table we had was nice however a bit cramped for eating. Several of us ordered the burgers but because we were sat so close it was a struggle to actually pick it up and eat it. Some ended up using knives and forks and didn't appear to enjoy it the same. The food came out on bread boarss but there was no room on the table for them. With the burger came 'cajun' fries - honestly I don't know why they were called that. They were just soggy chips with a spinkle of salt. The decor however is lovely and the staff are all friendly, polite and extrmely attentive. As soon as the water glasses went down slightly the staff were straight over to refill. This place might be nice for a few drinks but don't get all the hype about the food. read more

Interesting place. Crowd is from 20 to 80 (mean 80 talking to a guy that age). Big improvement on previous efforts at clubs/bars in this spot. Staff try to be hipsters but far from it. More usual boring money making bars type of place you find in any capital city. Overall very disappointing. Good looks good and cocktails are nice (but uninspired). You need to be dressed up to come here and spend your money, which the door staff are happy to tell you. It has it's charm but I for one would never come here again. If you want to spend your money in a fun relaxing place this is not the place for you. If you want to come here and dress up then might be ok. I'll be interested to see this place in a year. read more

I have been there many times and I am in love with the place. They have an amazing antique style. The place Doesn't look anything like the outside view as it look like a boring brick house ,but, when you step in,you won't believe it h=how chic it is. House consists of different rooms or lounges, two bars one in the main room and the other in the glass house and it has a beautiful out door and a garden.The service is good ,only, one draw back; i noticed the service gets better or ish depends on whose seeing you. For instance, I always order their cheese board before, sometimes I get many types of cheese with different dips, and two types of grapes, bread and crackers.However, the next day I come, I only get cheese, in fact less types and dips no crackers or bread. Its the same for the macchiato I either get it too milky or only the foam on the espresso. Other than that its lovely and the atmosphere it self is enough . I like to go there at evening to relax, the outdoor is the best part as they open the heat and lights and you enjoy the music the band playing . I would give the place 5 stars and I would suggest booking in advance if you want to try their afternoon tea and also check their bed rooms. read more

Great Cocktails, Really friendly young bartender but I did feel a bit awkward in ripped jeans as the hostess kept questioning where I was going when going out to the garden terrace for a cigarette.
