The Rag Trader

Love a chilled out date night more than anything else? The Rag Trader is a traditional-looking boozer that's got vintage trinkets, wallpapered or wood panelled walls throughout and quirky mismatched furniture to boot. Pub grub from sister bar Dakota has you covered for food, while the bar here is over 100 whiskies strong, with stout, craft beer and cocktails on the cards too.

Doolally

With a menu curated by Michelin Star chef Alfred Prasad, Doolally is on a mission to combine the finest Irish local produce with ancient Indian techniques. If you're looking for a date night destination that promises innovative flavours in plush surrounding, this is a top spot.

Sophie's

Nothing screams romance quite like a rooftop restaurant, so head on over to Sophie's and make the most of the stunning panoramic views while chomping away on their menu of Italian-inspired classics. If it's sunny? Make sure to check out their cute terrace space to soak up some rays.

Pink Restaurant

If your sweetie loves chic interiors and decadent eats, then Pink is one of the most private places for couples in Dublin. Situated on William St South, this themed restaurant dishes out magenta-coloured cocktails and plates of Insta-worthy cuisine.
