The duck legs and shrimp toast were the standouts for sure. Staff were lovely but service felt a bit scattered. Would go back for the food alone.

Stopped in for a drink and to catch the rugby. Place was buzzing, good mix of locals and tourists. Managed to watch the match without shouting over everyone, which I appreciated. Felt like a proper local bar. Only thing, took a wee while to get served at the bar, but the staff were friendly enough.

Came across this little bar on Thursday night and the live music totally made it. Band was class, proper atmosphere without being too packed. Drinks were grand too, nothing fancy but decent prices. Only thing is it gets a bit loud near the stage, but that&#39;s kinda expected. Would pop back in if I&#39;m in the area again.

Lovely little spot, fire was going when we walked in and it made the whole place feel so snug. Guinness was spot on too. Proper local vibe.

The staff at Bar 1661 are truly passionate about their craft. They take the time to explain the cocktails and ensure you have a fantastic experience.

No. 3 of Bars in Dublin

Stopped in for a pint and somehow the evening got away from me. Guinness was in proper form, creamy and cold. Barman knew his stuff, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Could&#39;ve done with a wine list that had a bit more depth, but honestly, when the stout&#39;s that good, you don&#39;t really miss it.

The upstairs room for our hen do was lovely, really nicely done out. John the barman was so patient with us all. Cocktail class was good craic too.

The big chicken wings here are proper good. I&#39;d go back just for those. &euro;22.80 for the wings and two diet cokes felt fair enough. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us at all. Only thing is the seats are a bit hard after a while, but sure that&#39;s minor when the food&#39;s that tasty.
