This was a cool place that have many different Irish gins. They have a gin tasting where you can choose any three gins to have. I did this to experience different ones I have never had. The place has quite a bit of seating. It was not the cleanest, the rugs were pretty dirty. The staff were okay, some were great and other bartenders wanted you to order and leave. So it was hit or miss but if you are a gin person then it is worth going. read more

The hubby and I were here for a night cap. Fortunately, the bar tender was able to accommodate us before they closed for the night which we were super thankful. I do adore the decor. One of the oldest bar in downtown Dublin. I had a pour of whiskey neat and the hubby did a dry martini. The service was pretty speedy since we were pretty much the last people in the bar. I love how close it was to our airbnb as well. Literally right next door. Anyways, we had a great time hanging out and drinking here. Would definitely come back and drink here again if given the chance. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!! read more

If you are looking for a pub to watch NLF games when in Dublin Ireland this is your spot. My husband is an avid football fan and was vexed because he was unable to find the game on our hotel TV. Irish pub vibes with flat screens for watching American brutality. The food was excellent. We both tried the vegetable soup to start. I would describe this soup as hearty and rich, served up piping hot with brown bread a butter on the side. For the main course we went with the Genius stew and pie. Both the options were delicious and very filling. For dessert we shared the butter bread pudding topped with ice. The bread pudding exceed my expectations. I also had a gin and tonic, this is a gin bar. The gin and tonic was served up over a chalice of ice a lime with a mini tonic on the side so you can gage how tonicy you would like your cocktail. I also had a Rockshore lager which I felt paired well with the meal. Our serve Augustine was knowledgeable and attentive. All items came out hot and timely. Cheers I will visit the Gin Bar again before departure. read more

Fish and chips were great. We did the gin sample which was fun but came with itty bitty tastes for 20 euro.

Good food that comes down in a lift. Fish was fresh to me and the Cajun chicken salad was pretty good. The decor was interesting to look at and some tvs around to watch the games. read more

My oh my. My love for Gin grew after visiting Ireland, ESPECIALLY after coming here! Even if you're not a fan of Gin, there will be a gin made just for your tastebuds here! Very knowledgeable staff and they know what's good. Asked the bartender what his favorite dessert was and it may have been one of the best desserts I've ever had! Highly recommend the Gin Palace for a different scenery from all the pubs surrounding it! Can't wait to come back for some more! read more

Great spot for cocktails when you're ready for a break from the beer and whiskey in Dublin. The Gin Palace is a comfortable, old-school bar steps away from the Mary Street shopping district. I had a terrific Tom Collins, and my wife enjoyed her Gin Smash. Service was attentive. read more

Excellent place for a drink. Sit at the bar, talk to the staff about their specialty gin drinks. Not the mixed drinks, but special GIn and Tonics. Refreshing, delicious, and an amazing setting. read more

Done out like a Victorian, well, gin palace, this ornate bar is often an option for a swift late drink after a gig at the Academy, when the place hops like a epileptic kangaroo. However, go during the day and you may find you and your party to be the only customers, and therefore prey to over-enthusiastic lounge staff. Hold tight to your glasses, they may be snatched away before you have a chance for that all-important last swallow. At the moment, it has a special offer of a vodka and Coke for €5.50 - in Dublin, this is actually a bargain. read more

This is another one of those places that I have passed by umpteenth times but I never went in. Today, I did as did a clatter of Russian sailors! Their caps are like huge saucers, but I digress. It's very nicely designed inside and the staff are all wearing very smart uniforms, it just feels too staged and lacks character. It also feels like it plays to the tourists a lot and there was a lot of tourists there. The bar food seemed popular. I thought that the cocktail menu was pricey, their speciality of course being gin. In bold font they advertised their world beers on a menu, the only beer that they showed was in the singular, a peroni... Apparently they have a huge appreciation for Italy and believe that it is the world. read more

This is a hidden gem of a bar on the Northside near the Hapenny Bridge. It's a great place to sit down with a few friends and actually be able to hear them talk rather than just be defened by the din that is present in so many other nearby bars and pubs. The ambience is like a throw back to another era as it looks better suited to a 1930's Chicago than it does to contemporary Dublin. They have a great selection of pints and spirits, particularly gin as the name of the pub suggests. read more

Awwwwesome place and their menu was riveting ... I unfortunately was not in a drinking mood since we were about to leave early the next day, but it was a happening place, with lots of people and enough wait staff that we didn't have to wait long to get served. Really wished we found this place earlier in our trip and not on the last night - the menu was so enticing... I'd definitely keep this bookmarked for my next time around. read more

After beer/whiskey tasting in Dublin, I encountered Gunpowder gin from my husband's friend and I wanted to go on gin tasting. Gin Palace offered gin tasting so I came here to check it out and omg, rather than 3 gin tasting sampler, Hendricks Gin Tea Party Set was the one that I got hooked on. The "Tea Party" is offered in a beautifully designed Hendricks' tea cup set and had infused cucumber, rose water. It was the most refreshing cocktail I ever had, and even though I'm a beer/whiskey person, I think I'm gonna switch to gin, just from this experience. read more

Derek Garry, son of Des Garry, who has been involved in the Belgard Complex in Tallaght for 32 years, is no stranger to the bar trade and knows how to run a pub. This place is a lovely little bar with friendly, professional service. I can't comment on the price of the pint as it had been so many years since me and Derek had seen each other, he bought me one. It's located a 4 minute walk from where I work so I reckon it'll be my sneaky-one-on-my-break pub. I was impressed before when I walked in about 5 minutes before closing time one night and asked if it was too late for an Irish coffee (which, in fairness, would make my blood boil) only to be greeted with a real smile and "Of course not, take a seat and I'll drop one over to you" Thanks guys! read more

This is one of my favorite places in Dublin. My husband and I were in Dublin 3 days and we went here twice. If you are a gin lover, you HAVE to come here. I really enjoyed the gin flights that they offer, and the Hendricks high tea was so delicious and really fun! The bangers and mash were so very good. I miss this place as we have nothing comparable at home of course. Service was quick as well, and everyone friendly. read more

This place is something different. I'm a gin drinker and snob so of course of come here. It is off the beaten path and a little hard to find (at least at night, and lack of signs). The inside smells.like cigarettes which isn't my forte, but hey, your in Ireland/Europe. I got a flight and it was great trying different gins and different tonics. I had a gin where they added pepper and strawberries to it and I was amazed by how wonderful it was. When you are there ask for Monkey 47 gin, worth the price. Overall, expect to really spend some money there but have a great time. read more

I have to update and give this place 5 stars, just on the basis that I go so often, and practically know all the staff. Its my fave northside stop for a pint/bite to eat. A great place to meet and catch up with people read more

This is a great place for anything from a lovely gin , food or cocktail ! The service is good and friendly , really like the atmosphere.. Food menu is good as pub grub goes Nice fish cakes and wings . Half a chicken is lovely have to say with the fab gravy .. Lasagne also lovely . Well recommended ! read more

I've been here twice now and had positive experiences on both occasions! The first was to meet a group of friends. None of the tables were big enough, so we had to squish around one, but it worked out because everyone was drifting around anyway. The interior itself is very beautifully decorated, very plush and vintage-y. I think it lives up to its excellent name. The music is never too loud, which makes a nice change from many of the raucous Dublin bars. The patrons seem to older in age than most of the bars we would frequent, but it doesn't make any significant difference. They have a large variety of cocktails at cheaper prices than the Grafton and South William areas, along with usual draughts and, of course, gin. The second time I was here, we were looking for food. It was packed and we had to wait for a table. We got a small one near the door (it got kind of chilly, as we were near the door). We both ordered fish and chips and were pleasantly surprised when the plates showed up about 7-8 minutes later! Everything was very well done and we were satisfied. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Popped in last night after a gig in the Academy. First time here, Liked the decor inside, really comfy chairs! Bar staff were very friendly (although as it was Monday night and very quiet, they were playing Jenga with one of the patrons!). My only advice would be don't sit outside, Abbey streeet is not somewhere I would normally hang out, and is the reason I've never been in the pub. We were accosted by a drunk outside who tried to steal our beer and then tried to put a tissue around my friends face from behind (a la the chloroform in the movies) - very strange. read more

I went into gin palace a few weeks back with a mate after leaving a gig at the Academy somewhat *ahem* unceremoniously for a a few pints before last call. I really liked the buzz in the place, it was full, but not packed and although I have a bias towards the place as I met a nice lady friend when I was there, you could go to much worse places for a few pints. read more

Really like The Gin Palace, it's a first-rate establishment and a place I would frequent regularly to eat. It is part of The Louis Fitzgerald group who owns many top pubs in the city centre and throughout Dublin. There is always top quality food and drink to be found in Louis's joints! and The Gin Palace is no exception. The food here is excellent with quite an extensive menu. My personal favourite being the Oriental prawn stir fry and a couple of different sides, to share of course!!!!! But having tried many dishes on the menu, I would say everything is pretty good. A wide variety of drinks and cocktails available too, not just Gin as the name may suggest!!!!! Although they do apparently have "the largest selection of gin in Dublin boasting gins from every corner of the globe." So obviously if you're a fan of gin this place is a must! Plenty more options available for those who are not, which is probably the majority of patrons! The staff here are really nice and friendly, I like the way they come over during your meal and ask you is everything ok. You don't always get that when ordering bar food, it's proper order and it shows they care!!!! One of the main reasons I like The Gin Palace is the decor. It's not traditional Irish or modern, it's unique. The bar is decorated in an old Victorian theme with lots of brass and low level lighting. I really like it! The Gin Palace is in a fantastically convenient location, just over the Ha'Penny Bridge close to the Jervis street Luas stop with two entrances, one on Liffey street and one on Abbey street making it very accessible. To sum up I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone, whether it be for food, drinks, watching a match, chilling with friends, whatever, it's excellent!!!!! read more

This is my favourite pub in Dublin. It is a nice place to go to if you want to have a few pints and chat with mates after work. It does be busy in the evening but not that busy that you can't move which is quite nice. Bar staff and waitresses are friendly which always helps in a busy Dublin pub. Food is lovely too and the pints are not that expensive for city centre prices. They do specials too. Good music on the sound system. Lovely pub, highly recommend it. read more

Why oh why did no one tell me about the fiver friday cocktails before? (Well, normally they are 6.50 which won't break the bank either ) I recommend the gin sour! Yum! read more

I like this pub. It's a landmark in Dublin and is in a great spot. Contrary to many of the other pubs in the area the prices are not too dear and the menu is reasonably priced. The staff are lovely and even though it's call the Gin Palace and they have a wide selection of gins and jenevers they also do many cocktails and have a decent selection of beers including craft beers from around Ireland. I personally love the place as it is only one of a very few I have found in all of Ireland that does a proper martini. read more

My line of work was once, very briefly, promotions and by very briefly I mean for one night. I had to go around the Gin Palace wearing a flat screen television on my back for a few hours. I had to turn my back to customers and let them play a video game while using me as a glorified TV stand. It did look a little like a jet pack but I swear to Jeebus if one more person ever says 'Howaya Buzz Lightyear" to me again ... grrr ... It was the 78th time I heard the same joke in two hours that I decided to retire. This means we kind of got off to a bad start but having been here mid week a few times for drinks I have to say it really is a nice bar. It's a weird right angle but it's a good looking one and when it's not busy it's pretty comfortable. read more

I came to the Gin Palace on the last day of my trip in Ireland, after hearing about it's vast selections of gin. The rumors were true - there were tons of different gins to try, and several cocktails too. I opted for a classic G&T made with Bertha's Revenge Gin - made from Whey Protein and named to honor the oldest cow to have ever graced this earth with her presence - who happened to be Irish. read more

so much fun in the gin palace tonight, we tried out the gin sampler and then had goblets of our favourite gin! this place is a must if u live gun!! also, although we didn't av any food it looked and smelt delish!! the atmosphere was great, very friendly! loved it!! read more

Funnily enough my review for The Gin Palace doesn't include Gin as I haven't actually enjoyed a beverage of the alcoholic nature here. I will one day test out their many gins - Gin to make you Sin and all that malarkey. Anyhoo rambling aside my review today is about The Gin Palaces lunch time offerings. I've been a number of times now and have tried and tested their soups which are deliciously homemade in style crouton topped, their sandwiches which are jam packed and their Gambas Al Pil Pil (prawns) dish which I love - The Gin Palace signature dish apparently but a dish that I think can also be found in their sister bar The Grand Central either way it's served in a small skillet pan, you get about 10 or so large prawns sizzling in garlic and chilli oil and they are served with fresh bread and butter. If you like prawns I'd recommend it big time. If you don't, don't order it obviously. Service around lunch times are efficient and with a smile. If you get yourself a Benefitz Card you can avail of 10% off which I usually give back as a tip. I did have an issue availing of this one day as we'd ordered in a group but paid separately - I was a little embarrassed but more annoyed with the servers attitude at the time but I forgave and I've returned since. read more

The Gin Palace - My favourite Gambas Al Pil Pil ... Nom Nom - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

I didn't know what I was expecting when I came here, but it wasn't this. The Gaudy Palace, a sports bar cum paltry bar, certainly no palace. Some tacky furnishings and polished floorings do not a palace make. This place is usually packed with tourists and loud groups of people who are already well oiled on their way to the club. Staff are nice if you can catch their attention over the gangs of lads who choke up the bar counter. I've been twice, I won't be rushing back, they had a reasonable selection of gins behind the bar. As a lover of Gin, I certainly wouldn't rate this place, it suits some people's needs, but the name is misleading. read more

Amazing selection of gin and such knowledgeable staff! I even bought a bottle (at another location) of one of the gins I sampled.

I love this place! I was not a believer in Gin, but this place does it justice. Gin Palace is great for drinks...a bit pricey, but an amazing atmosphere. You have to try the nachos - absolutely delicious. I had the French Martini - which was the special - and although it was more than I was willing to spend on a cocktail it was delicious and I kept going back for more. If you are in Dublin city center, definitely give this place a try. read more

We went there on Wednesday before the concert. Decent place for people in my parents age. I order hot spiced rum and there was no alcohol (taste like a water with honey and lemon). Prices are average, nothing ether wow or blah. But ye, don't order any hot alcohols, you will be drinking how spiced water. read more

Stopped in here for an Irish coffee. One of the best I have ever had and the prices were very reasonable. It is a very nice atmosphere and not too loud either. Great location too! read more
