Venu was hotly tipped on its 2006 opening to be Dublin’s next big thing and, unlike many such places, hasn’t proved the tipsters wrong. Below the pale, clean and ultra-luxurious décor of the entranceway lies an atmospheric cocktail bar and restaurant with unobtrusive music, and tables spaces far apart enough for the most indiscrete conversations. More to the point, the restaurant has a nifty little menu – the Bombay spiced chicken breast is particularly enjoyable, as is the rack of Wicklow lamb. A special €25 three-course menu running from Tuesday to Friday during January, moreover, makes the high-quality cooking very affordable. It’s the extensive cocktail menu, however, that makes Venu a ‘simply must visit’ establishment: top class spirits, mixed by bar staff who know the difference between a sidecar and a martini with brandy in, are a winner in any setting. They’re also mercifully understanding of customers who need time to pick their drinks and capable of pulling together virtually any tipple on request. “We take pride in mixing the best spirits and using only the best ingredients,” explains owner Charles Guilbaud. “The guys can make nearly anything.” Unsurprisingly, the bar has snagged several awards, including the LVA and Hospitality Ireland’s 2008 ‘cocktail bar of the year’ gong. Coupled with some excellent coffee – in fact, Venu’s Fixx coffee was the gold winner at the Great Taste Awards 2009 – the drinks make this place well worth sticking around in after an enjoyable meal.(January 2010)

I'm a bigger fan of the cocktail bar than the restaurant part - even though I've heard good things about the food, it's the Sidecar here that does it for me!inserted the: 15/02/2010
