Love this bar. It is partly a hardware shop and partly a bar. Great during the day as it is a perfect pit-stop if you've been shopping around the very cool wicklow street area. It's also next door to my favorite clothes shop, Cos.

It's a secret bar. The door is bolted shut, you need to knock to get in. Don't be disheartened if no-one answers the first time, they're just testing you. Good for groups looking for a nice gin or a couple wanting something intimate. It's more like a house than a bar with a pool table or two to play with too.
