Bovinity; no white tablecloths, no pretension, just fresh, locally sourced food and drinks.Breaking free from tradition and carving out a space where authenticity reigns and the experience is as real as the flavours on your plate. The menu includes a curated selection of cuts that speak for themselves. Irish, dry-aged beef, the kind of rich, indulgent flavours that demand attention. The cocktails are unique, modern, and made with natural ingredients . The wine list, carefully selected and chosen to compliment every moment.This is the kind of place where everything is shared—from the steak to those dangerously addictive sides—because, let's face it, that’s what food is all about. Good company, compliments great food. And the vibe? Laid-back, gritty, with a soundtrack that’s as real as it gets. This is Irish hospitality at its finest—warm, buzzing, no-frills, and full of heart. **Tables of 6+ will be offered a selection of two set menus. Email info@bovinity.ie for info**
