    Lovely bar with a great warm atmosphere, we went in on a Friday night and the staff were friendly and attentive. Vladimir is clearly very capable - he looked after us amazingly and made us feel like celebrities. Definitely recommend his amaretto sour, and also the queen of the night gin cocktail. There are some great non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu too. Can't wait to go back again!

    While I wait for my room at Westin to be ready, I also went to downstairs The Mint Bar. They opened at 1 PM. Yes, the bar opened in the noon time. You can bring your kids into the bar and order juice for them. The deco is gorgeous. The staff is all super nice. The cocktails is top-notch. The vibe is awesome.

    The atmosphere is much like a speakeasy. Really comfortable environment. The drinks are delicious and the servers are very attentive. The music in the late evening is fun. The overall atmosphere is worth a trip to the mint.

    One of the, if not worst service experiences I've ever had at a lounge/bar. Staff was visibly annoyed we walked in, didn't care all that much what we wanted to order and was obviously "over" working on a Saturday early evening. As the bar became more crowded, the service just decreased from there. I would never frequent this lounge again. Drinks and food were pretty great, but good luck ever ordering them.

    Shocking. The bar is lovely. The staff are nice, but uninterested. We had had to ask for drinks 3 times and when the waiter came to the table they didn't have the drinks and said our drinks where on the way and told us our order which was completely wrong. When the drinks did arrive we had to ask for water again even though we told them 4 times at this point what our order was. When we order another round the bartender wasnt even aware of the drinks on the menu and questioned my partner as to whether they actually had that particular drink on the menu even though we order its 15mins before hand. When we were going to leave no staff were around so we were going to go to the bar to pay, as soon as we put on our jackets a bartender practically jumped over the bar to say we needed to pay the bill even though we were going to go up to the bar to pay. Once they brought the bill it was wrong they were charing us for drinks we didn't even get and then when we questioned other drinks on the bill we were told they didnt have that particular drink on the system, so had to put it down as another drink. Once sorted, we paid and started to make our way to the exit which a bartender then ran after us and said the payment didn't go through due to a connection error with their card machine. Shocking service and not what you would expect from a supposed 5 star hotel. Would avoid at all costs.

    Very chic and stylish underground bar with the a library theme. They have good drinks and food and it's looks like an underground cellar. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. And it is very comfortable atmosphere to get a nice drink there.

    Service here is abysmal. We came at 3 PM on a Saturday and the place was relatively empty. With that said we stood in the doorway awkwardly waiting for someone to seat us for a while. Then we asked the bartender if we could have a seat at the bar and he rolled his eyes. The drinks are fine and the Westin itself is a lovely place, but I would not recommend this bar to anyone. Specifically the blonde bartender made our experience awkward and uncomfortable (the name tags are too small to read, even when you’re sitting within 1 meter of the person). When the manager finally arrived around 4, he was definitely more attentive. But we waited with empty drinks for 30 minutes before we had to prompt the blonde bartender for the bill. Which he never brought us, even after 15 minutes. So we asked the manager and he gave it to us immediately. The bar has potential when staffed with the right people but we will not be back.

    Fantastic bar in the basement of the Westin. The staff is amazing, particularly Suraj & the Jay. They and the rest of the team really made me feel at home and they made great cocktails. Saturday evening they’ve got live music too. I love this place & recommend it especially if you’re staying at the property. It’s got a coo, hip art nouveau feel to it. You won’t be disappointed with a visit here & they’ll take great care of you!

    Very interesting and tasty drinks. A bit on the pricey side but that might be in line with high end hotel bars in Dublin.

    This bar is located in the basement of the hotel in what was once a bank vault. Beautiful and the fish and chips are excellent.

  • 5/5 Hayleigh O. 4 years ago on Google
    Really great pub with lovely staff and the food was delicious. Great for a group or just as a couple. There's usually a band playing on Saturday and there's a great atmosphere, also right in the centre of town.

  • 4/5 Ty L. 6 years ago on Google
    The food here is solid! I usually get the medallions of Irish beef tenderloins and it's always cooked to perfection! I would highly recommend this place!

    We just had cocktails here but loved it very much. The ambiance is fantastic and the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the Seriously Easy Going. It was delicious! My husband really liked the strawberry tequila drink (we can't remember the name).

  • 5/5 William St M. 6 years ago on Google
    I've been there many times : cocktails are expensive but worth it, great selection of it, great atmosphere, after 10pm you usually get a live band, and they are always really good ! 👍👍👍

    A bit quiet on a Tuesday evening, but if you are in a group just perfect.

  • 4/5 Simon P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy, atmospheric hotel bar, bustling and noisy sometimes, but often quiet and restful.

  • 2/5 Bruno A. 1 year ago on Google
    Mojito was pure sugar. Besides, everything is over priced.

  • 5/5 Leah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fabulous evening in the Mint Bar a few weeks ago. Amazing drinks, had something special for everyone and a great atmosphere. Perfect location for any occasion or just a few quiet drinks with friends.

  • 4/5 sunny 1 year ago on Google
    Cocktails are all priced the same, easy to split if going with a group 😅 but drinks could be better given the price.

  • 2/5 S 7 months ago on Google
    It was OK...if you're looking for a place with an atmosphere this is not the place to go. It was totally dead, with a brief bit of live music that stopped and started l randomly, with brief periods of total silence at times. Grand for a quick drink if you're waiting to go elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Dillan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Bar tenders are awesome! Drinks are better!! Awesome setting, you can actually get a seat! Shout out to the bar manager, Jay and two best bar tenders, Oguzhan, and Amin for making it an epic trip!

  • 5/5 The L. 7 months ago on Google

    Absolutely gorgeous building and great drinks, fun for the beginning of a night out, and attached to the Weston if you’re just visiting town it’s an ideal spot.

  • 5/5 Bastable-Warren I. 5 years ago on Google
    Paid a visit here to their gin tasting experience and it was a fantastic experience. The Barman was very knowledgeable and very kind with his time and spent a long time explaining the various gins to us. There is a great laid-back vibe in the bar and it was a very relaxing place to visit. We will be back again soon. Special thanks to Steven!!

    Great Dublin Pub fantastic entertainment best cocktails, reasonable prices

  • 3/5 Alan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Average.... Nice drinks but TV's we're showing major league football while the band played at an unnecessarily high volume. I think I was expecting something a little more relaxed and subtle.

    Slipped in here for a couple of cocktails after our dinner on a cold & windy night. Service was superb, the cocktails made to perfection and the atmosphere most comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to slip away for a fancy drink and quiet conversation.
