Tucked away on Suffolk Street just shy of Temple Bar, Pacino's is a charming and romantic Italian restaurant serving up some serious flavour. When you're not tucking in to freshly-cooked plates, their very own sommelier will be on hand to suggest great glasses and rich flavours whether you're in to red, or white.
If you've got a penchant for fancy dinners alongside a glass of red, we recommend heading to the very swanky Bow Lane. Delve into a juicy hanger steak with frites while splitting a bottle of Henry Hill's pinot noir or other stunning sips.
Piglet Wine Bar is slinging out biodynamic organic wines in a cosy backdrop - we mean shelves upon shelves of expertly-curated bottles. A must-visit for cheap wine bars in Dublin, the Temple Bar venue has vino starting at just £6.50 per glass.
Located in Drury Street Car Park, Amy Austin is hands down one of the best wine bars in Dublin. The quirky dog-friendly venue has a wide selection of wine on tap whether you're after a quick glass or fancy popping a bottle open and pairing with a charcuterie spread.
Bobby's is known for its intimate ambience and pretty 'n pink interiors, but did you know the stunner also features a killer wine list? We're talking reds, whites, roses and sparkling, alongside nibbles such as Irish cheese or fresh bruschetta.
Looking for a wine bar on Dawson Street? Peruke & Periwig is a bit of a no-brainer. While the venue fronts a plethora of creative cocktails, it also has a huge range of wine and cheese boards to make your evening a little lush - the deep-fried brie goes well with a red.
While The Exchequer might be known for cool cocktails and gastro grub, we had to give a shout-out to this lavish drinking den. Get stuck into tantalising tapas such as chorizo lollipops and stuffed peppers, alongside a bottle of white wine.
For natural wine bars in Dublin, Frank's is a great choice. Fronting a 20-seat communal table and potted plants, it's the perfect place for a few glasses of vino on tap, alongside cheese, pastries and other light nibbles.
Boasting over 350 different bottles, La Cave Wine Bar has everything from organic rosé and chardonnay to sauvignon blanc and merlot. And if that wasn't enough, the venue slings out top-tier French cuisine. One of the best wine bars in Dublin city centre? Without a doubt.
Flaunting beaut bottles of wine on their shelves, Il Vicoletto is one of the cosiest places for your vino fix. Settle into quaint seating as you enjoy sips straight from Italy. As for food? The menu showcases duck liver pate, sausage ragu and much more.
Whether you're a fan of port, vermouth, sherry or orange wine, you'll have a grand time at Gertrude. By day, it's the ideal haunt for coffee and pancakes, but as the evening rolls around, the bar transforms into the ultimate date night destination.
