Damson Diner

About

We love our classic Diner food

Ribs that will blow your mind, burgers that kick ass, criminally addictive chicken wings sitting alongside sandwiches that people would actually do time for. And you’d think with all that kinda chow, that we neglected the salads. But we didn’t. They rock too.

We’re somewhat obsessed with cocktails

To such an extent, that we forage for wild ingredients to mix with, we infuse our spirits for up to 5 months, spice our own rum, vodka and gin, barrel age Manhattans & Negronis, make our own bitters and syrups. This sort of commitment to mixing drinks wreaks havoc on your personal life. We wouldn’t recommend it to others, but we’re good with it.

We do love our wine, beers, ales and ciders

When you don’t hold back on the food, you have to do the same with all the hooch too . Whether it’s a silky smooth red or a dry fruity white, our in house booze hounds have carefully paired the grape and grain with the grub. International classics like Paulaner and Heineken sit with local lads Orpen’s Cider, O’Hara’s Pale Ale and Five Lamps.

We’re really, really into parties

This place is all about the parties. The Diner’s Club in the basement, you can rent that space off us and have it for you and 80 of your best mates to dance and go mad in. The Mezzanine is bang on perfect for a dinner buzz. It seats up to 40 with its own bar. And if you just want to get in on whatever session is taking place with our own DJ’s, then you can hang out in 1 of our 2 other bars or 2 smoking areas. Just be sure to let it rip. Thank you in advance.

We kinda pushed the boat out with the design

The main floor was salvaged out of the neighbouring Dublin Civic Museum, the lighting was custom made with old iron piping and you know that brilliant piece of street art that’s drilled into the wall of the main entrance? That used to be a gate.
