Foodies who
enjoy Caribbean
style oxtail
stew will be
surprised...
Ireland on tap. There is a noticeable
difference in the texture and taste.
The bottled version available in the
US, is noticeably thicker and has
bitterness to it while the tapped
version on the Isle is smoother, less
bitter, and arguably lighter. Visitors
are encouraged to take their included
drink or purchase another reasonably
priced one to the top floor in the
Gravity Bar to enjoy the nearly 360
degree view of Dublin and the
surrounding area. What makes The
Gravity Bar remarkable is not just the
view. It manages to look like a highend
bar/club, feel like an Irish Pub,
and is quite sexy all at the same time.
About the food…
On the fifth floor is a wonderful pub
with live bands playing traditional
Irish and modern music. There is
stout aplenty and food that is not your
typical tourist-type food. What you
get is real good food. Real good...
The menus tout burgers, pulled
pork sandwiches, and a pretty good
salmon. The meal of choice is Beef
Stew prepared with Guinness Stout
and served with mashed potatoes
on top and (lest we forget) the best
soda bread ever! Foodies who enjoy
Caribbean style oxtail stew will be
surprised how remarkably similar the
two taste. What is there not to like?
Paired with a pint or two (or three),
this is certain to be one of the best
meals you will have while in Dublin.
Sláinte!
