    Really enjoyed visiting. The food is slightly overpriced in and of itself but more than made up for by the experience in terms of ambience. Overall, first time going but not the last!

    Just to note here that it's not possible to complete the review without rating the food - which we didn't have, so I gave 1 star. I didn't even know 9 Below served food! The ambience is classy & sophisticated. However, we were in a back room, & there was just one other couple for 50 mins of the hour we were there. So, no atmosphere & too quiet. Also, both of us were getting quite cold by the end of the hour. I was in a blouse, husband in a shirt - hadn't expected to need another layer as it was not a cold night outside at all. (12c) I imagine that back room would need some kind of heating when Winter sets in. Prices were expected for an upmarket cocktail bar. Cocktails are €14.50. There is a very inventive & interesting list, and nicely done in a mini magazine. Beers & whiskeys were good value. The cocktail was delicious, & service was attentive & friendly. Oh - the phone line is terrible. Almost impossible to hear what's being said on the other end, with crackling noises etc. Maybe switch to a WhatsApp business phone number??
