Sometimes a trip to Magaluf or Benidorm just isn’t what you envisioned for your hen party. Your ladies and you want to be wined, dined and ready to leave with fantastic memories, not hangovers…
We love a glass of champagne, and where better to experience them then at these Dublin hot spots
Sophie’s
Sophie’s will take your breath away. After making it past the adult-sized swings, you will have 360-degree views of Dublin. There’s an extensive list of cocktails, but champagne is all you’ll need.
Food Recommendation: The caprese salad of burrata, semi-dried heirloom tomatoes, balsamic pearls, crispy pancetta & pesto.
The Mint Bar
If you’re staying at the classically beautiful The Westin Hotel, you must pay a visit to The Mint Bar. It has a prohibition speakeasy vibe being situated in the basement of the hotel. Wandering through the luxurious interior and let the bartenders, who have won European cocktail competitions, look after you. This is the place to step away from the Veuve and treat yourself to the twelves roses cocktail.
Hugo’s
Hugo’s presents a lovely chance to nibble some of the finest food in Dublin.
Food Recommendation: The Italian charcuterie board OR the goat cheese curd on brioche toast with charred poached pear, walnuts and truffle honey
Fade Street Social
If the weather is on your side, make your way over to Fade Street Social. Its roof-top location and extensive champagne menu will entice you to settle for the entire night. However, it’s the tapas you will ultimately want to stay for.
Food Recommendation: The crispy, free-range chicken cooked in tapioca flour, rolled in sumac and truffle butter OR the delicious lamb, fennel and olive flat bread.
Chelsea Drug Store
This spot is trend personified. The Chelsea Drug Store, has a basement level tucked away nicely and you’ll be truly spoiled. The Perrier Jouet NV is lavish, and it pairs nicely with the selection of cheeses, Manchego, Valdeon and Montenebro.
The Residence Members Club
For grandeur, The Residence Members Club, is your spot. It has a wealth of possibilities for you to enjoy. From its piano bar overlooking St. Stephen’s Green, to its delightful gardens, you won’t want to leave its luxurious comforts. A glass of champagne while listening to the in-house piano player is a charming way to end your evening with your ladies.
House
Sipping champagne and afternoon tea go hand-in-hand. House is the place to go for an indulgent pre-wedding gossip with your tribe. Once you pass though the Georgian doors, you will be enveloped into the building’s beautiful surroundings. It’s ideal for relaxing throughout the day, thanks to its tranquil setting, luxurious fittings and lovely outdoor area. Sit down with your champagne and revel in the pure decadence of the food. Your afternoon tea comes with three tiers. The top tier will include the likes of goat cheese, beetroot mousse and black tiger prawns. The second tier has a selection made in-house desserts and pastries. While, the final tier features dainty sandwiches and smoked salmon on Guinness brown bread.
