L'ambiance
Ely Wine Bar has been Dublin’s go-to wine destination since 1999, and it still holds its crown. Located right in the heart of the city on Ely Place, this place doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does wine (and spirits) exceptionally well. Wine Director Ian Brosnan curates a list that’s both serious and approachable, featuring everything from iconic labels like Henschke to lesser-known gems. You’ll also find clever cocktails and a solid whiskey selection if you want to branch out.

Dublin’s Wine Bar Done Right
Ely Wine Bar is the real deal for anyone who takes their wine seriously but doesn’t want to feel pretentious about it. I’ve been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps me loyal. The staff actually knows their stuff—ask Ian Brosnan or any of the team for a recommendation, and you’ll get a thoughtful answer, not just a sales pitch. The wine list is massive but organized in a way that makes sense, whether you’re in the mood for a crisp white from Slovenia or a bold red from South Africa.
The space itself is cozy and unpretentious, perfect for a quiet conversation or catching up with friends. It’s not the loudest spot in Dublin, which I appreciate. You can actually hear yourself think here. The food menu is simple but well-executed—think charcuterie boards, cheeses, and small plates that pair beautifully with your glass. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself lingering over a second (or third) glass without feeling rushed.
What really sets Ely apart is its commitment to quality over flash. No gimmicks, no over-the-top decor—just great wine, good service, and a genuine passion for what they do. If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a local secret but is actually well-known for good reasons, this is it.
