Our Take

Dublin's Heritage 1824 Horseshoe Hotel Bar

The Horseshoe Bar at The Shelbourne is Dublin's most heritage hotel cocktail bar — operating in a horseshoe-shaped mahogany bar since 1824. The Irish Constitution was drafted in The Shelbourne's room 112 in 1922. The most heritage hotel bar in Ireland.

The cocktail program is classical with strong Irish whiskey representation. Live music three nights a week. Smart-casual dress code, the crowd is Dublin professionals 40-70.

Pair with Vintage Cocktail Club for a more modern complement.
