The Home of Poitín

Award-winning Irish cocktails in the heart of Dublin City

Irish to the Core

Staunchly Irish, at BAR 1661 we pay homage to all of Ireland’s native drinks, especially Poitín. Named for the year the once notorious Irish spirit was banned and driven underground in Ireland, our award-winning cocktail bar celebrates Poitín’s place in the modern canon of Irish drinks. 

BAR 1661 is independently owned and operated by Dave Mulligan, a passionate man when it comes to Poitín. You’ll find us nestled among the fruit markets in the heart of Dublin 7.

"Pioneering”
John Wilson, The Irish Times
“Bar 1661, a new poitín bar on the north side of Dublin, is small and cozy. It’d be a crime not to go for their house spirit”
New York Magazine
“Timeless and elegant…one of those places in which you can see there is a lot of love and care put into every detail."
The Taste
“Bringing something a little different to the Dublin bar scene…Bar 1661's star of the show is their Belfast Coffee”
Lovin’ Dublin
“Poitín’s time is truly nigh…A temple to the pure drop”
Aoife Carrigy, Image Interiors
“The most impressive list of Irish made drinks we’ve seen anywhere”
