II · The Pour

Fifteen cocktails and a whiskey library

Espresso martinis to spritzes, a shelf of Irish whiskey worth working through, and a pint given time to settle.

Three to start

The full menu, with the whiskey library

Lauren’s: red buttoned banquettes round a mirrored table, framed records and posters on the damask walls.

III · Lauren’s

A room of your own, downstairs

Downstairs, away from the street: a comfortable room set aside for groups, with finger food if you’d like it. Birthdays, work drinks, a few friends who want their own corner.

The back wall crowded with framed prints and posters, lamps lit red and amber, and people talking at the bar beneath.

IV · The Bar

If the walls could talk.

The White House has stood at O’Connell and Glentworth since 1812. For years on Wednesday nights it belonged to the poets: Barney Sheehan’s open mic let anyone walk in off the street and read.

We’re not preserving it. We’re still using it.

The Guinness was great and the staff so friendly and accommodating.

The corner at dusk: the red-brick house lit red under its windows, James Gleeson over the shopfront, and the terrace full beneath the striped umbrellas.
