Hang Dai has been Dublin’s go-to for loud, fun group dining since 2016. The subway carriage tables are iconic (and perfect for four), but be warned: it gets rowdy as the night rolls on with DJs spinning. Skip the date-night vibe and come with friends ready to share plates like the cheeseburger spring rolls and apple woodfired duck.
Loud, fun, and full of flavor
Hang Dai is the kind of place where you come to eat, drink, and make merry in equal measure. The subway carriage seating downstairs is a conversation starter in itself, and the apple woodfired duck is genuinely worth the hype—smoky, tender, and served with a sticky glaze that’ll have you licking your fingers. Don’t expect quiet conversation; the DJs kick in around 9pm and the volume climbs with every round of drinks. If you’re after a proper group dinner where everyone can share and no one has to order their own meal, the €40 or €60 tasting menus are brilliant value. Just don’t book for a romantic evening—you’ll be shouting over the bass.
