Came across this little bar on Thursday night and the live music totally made it. Band was class, proper atmosphere without being too packed. Drinks were grand too, nothing fancy but decent prices. Only thing is it gets a bit loud near the stage, but that&#39;s kinda expected. Would pop back in if I&#39;m in the area again.

Lovely little spot, fire was going when we walked in and it made the whole place feel so snug. Guinness was spot on too. Proper local vibe.

Picanha was properly cooked and the rice and beans hit the spot. Portions are generous for the price. Service stayed friendly even when it got busy. Just expect a queue around peak times.

No. 9 of Bars in Dublin

The staff at Bar 1661 are truly passionate about their craft. They take the time to explain the cocktails and ensure you have a fantastic experience.

Jessi was lovely. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients felt. The salad greens were crisp, and the grilled chicken had a nice, clean flavor. It&#39;s a simple thing, but it makes such a difference when you can taste the quality.

Great cake selection, took ages to pick. Almond and strawberry one was lovely with an iced coffee.

Been coming here for a while now. The sushi&#39;s always fresh, tempura&#39;s got that perfect crunch without being greasy. Place is small but that&#39;s part of the charm, you know? Staff remember me at this stage. Only thing I keep wishing for is a beer menu, would round it off nicely. Still, it&#39;s my go-to spot when I want something quick and decent.
