When we took over The Legal Eagle, we inherited some of the glorious features, and the building really spoke to us of old-fashioned pub-grub. We looked to the old traditions of pickles, roasts, meaty joints & braises and knew we should honour our traditional lexicon of producers where possible and also allow our guests to enjoy a lighter style of dining.
We make our own crisps, croqueta, our own Scotch eggs (they're really delish), and supporting our burgeoning salumi and farmhouse cheese industry with platters of cold cuts. We are smoking our own spuds and have a local vegetable grower growing to our needs !
We are crazy about beer, whiskey and gin but wine is where we started and it remains a driving force for us. We have a stellar cocktail and wine list written with love and care
We have an ever so slightly more formal dining room upstairs, which is also great for events, weddings, private parties and get-togethers and hugely popular with industry folk. Can't wait to see all!

Bovinity; no white tablecloths, no pretension, just fresh, locally sourced food and drinks.
We strive to break free from tradition and carve 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**

The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 1970s and 1980s. Named after the Yeats poem and in honour of its winding staircase, it is overlooking the river Liffey, with an iconic view of the Ha'penny bridge. As a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists, it was a well known hub for debate and creativity with many poems written, novels penned and movies shot within its walls. In 2006, Elaine Murphy brought this much-loved spot back to life as a restaurant, championing seasonal, Irish produce. The bookshop, located on the ground floor, was retained, as were many of the old bookshelves, photos and memories. The room retains its timeless charm with stripped wood tables and floors, and Bentwood café chairs.The view remains as quintessentially Dublin as ever.
The food is good, old-fashioned home cooking, with produce sourced from artisans within the island. Drink sare local and international craft beers & wines from stellar producers.

    We are visiting Dublin for 2 nights to celebrate my partners 30th birthday, and we could not have enjoyed our meal at Krewe any more. The staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing. I am gluten free and the options I was able to choose from were some of the best I feel I’ve been offered in a long time. We both had the chicken tenders and it was nice to not feel left out for once! Thank you Krewe for such a lovely birthday meal!

    I recently visited VCC and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Although I myself felt underdressed, I immediately felt welcomed. The staff were more than pleasant, with the hostess introducing herself as I entered, it made the environment feel familiar. I was brought into the main lounge, it felt intimate but the room was full of energy, with happenings between romantics, friends and colleagues. I was sat in perfect view of the bar, it was a joy to watch the bartender work, by far the most competent mixologist I have seen. I can say the same for all the staff, everything moved fluidly with all smiles and courtesy checks. On top of that, you get very good value for your drinks and from what I saw, food too. I had the Original Milk Punch (recommend to anyone) and the 'Single Elix' (for people who like their drinks strong! And a little bitter). I'm not fortunate enough to have a space like this close to home, so whenever I get the chance, I will be back. Thanks again VCC
