Awarded Ireland's best cocktail bar 2019. Staunchly Irish, at BAR 1661 we pay homage to all of Ireland’s native drinks, especially Poitín. Named for the year the once notorious Irish spirit was banned and driven underground in Ireland, our award-winning cocktail bar celebrates Poitín’s place in the modern canon of Irish drinks.

Voted gastropub of the year in our biggest Food Award,Our much beloved gastropub tradition is still being honoured with the signature pickles, homemade crisps and treacle tarts. Here, you'll find the likes of PX- braised ox cheek, bone marrow sauce, pickled scapes, fine beans, & toasted almond or chorizo, cider-braised onions, and roasted garlic. Most especially, post-pandemic, the joy of feasting with friends, missed so viscerally, takes pride of place with a Feasting Menu featuring roasted lamb, whole fish, wood-fired chicken and a cornucopia of sharing courses such as roasted gambas with chilli & garlic, black kale with pine nuts and anchovy, and, to finish, a whole cheesecake.
Our bar makes pies pies pies...think Meat and cheese, steak and even coddle pie.
We are delighted to be honouring our own traditional lexicon of producerscraft beers on tap, over 200 wines on a stellar list written with love and a small but considered and decidedly timeless classic cocktail list

(1977)
The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 1970s and 1980s. Named after the Yeats poem and in honour of its winding staircase, it is overlooking the river Liffey, with an iconic view of the Ha'penny bridge. As a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists, it was a well known hub for debate and creativity with many poems written, novels penned and movies shot within its walls. In 2006, Elaine Murphy brought this much-loved spot back to life as a restaurant, championing seasonal, Irish produce. The bookshop, located on the ground floor, was retained, as were many of the old bookshelves, photos and memories. The room retains its timeless charm with stripped wood tables and floors, and Bentwood café chairs.The view remains as quintessentially Dublin as ever.
The food is good, old-fashioned home cooking, with produce sourced from artisans within the island. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

The Woollen Mills has been one of the most iconic buildings and businesses in Dublin for over one hundred years, and to have taken over this site is a serious privilege. Much like our award-winning sister restaurant next door, The Winding Stair, we feel like we are custodians of something very special... a piece of history (James Joyce worked here, how unbelievable is that?!) and we must do it proud! Spanning over four floors and with a glorious roof terrace overlooking the River Liffey. The Woollen Mills is quintessentially Irish, local and of its locale. We want it to be an 'Eating House', a house of food, a place to grab a coffee and bun, a plate of Irish fish and chips, a place to score a casual bite befre the nearby theatres and cinemas or sit with seven courses of Irish antipasti, burrata, crab, lamb or cauliflower steak, overlooking the Ha'penny Bridge with a fine bottle of red or a craft beer. We hope we do it well.
