IRISH COFFEE WAS named after us, so surely we do some of the best.
In no particular order…
1. The Stage Door Cafe, Dublin
Heading to Temple Bar for an Irish coffee? Stay away from the usual tourist traps and head straight to The Stage Door. Their Irish coffees are delicious AND they give you massive mugs of the stuff. Their little street terrace is the perfect place to sit and watch the city go by.
This Suffolk Street spot is always crowded on match days, but it really comes alive on chilly evenings in the smoking area with their fabulously traditional Irish coffee. No messin’ here, just generous measures and a good hayping of fresh cream.
Nancy’s Bar in Ardara is literally like someone’s home. The coffee itself is nothing spectacular, but it’s just like your mammy would make them. Try a slice of their excellent Guinness chocolate cake with it.
One of Dublin’s best cup of Irish coffees in the most traditional of surroundings. This Westmoreland Street spot is well worth a pit stop to warm up while waiting for the bus.
The ultimate posh Irish coffee. They make it at your table, heating up the sugar on a flame, throwing in the whiskey and covering it all in coffee. Even if you don’t like the taste of it, the smell will be enough to send you over the top.
Hannigan’s has a lot going for it, but it’s the Irish coffee that takes the biscuit. By that, we mean you get a little coffee biscuit with it, and a dollop of chocolate. Always excellent, every time.
One of Galway’s finest whiskey bars, their Irish coffees don’t disappoint either. They have the art of the Irish coffee pour down to a tee and don’t mess around with shabby ingredients. One to taste if you’re one of high standards…
Many call it Dublin’s finest Irish coffee, and for good reason. These lads have been serving up traditional Irish coffees since before you were born, and there’s no better and cosier place to enjoy it.
