Just to note here that it's not possible to complete the review without rating the food - which we didn't have, so I gave 1 star. I didn't even know 9 Below served food! The ambience is classy & sophisticated. However, we were in a back room, & there was just one other couple for 50 mins of the hour we were there. So, no atmosphere & too quiet. Also, both of us were getting quite cold by the end of the hour. I was in a blouse, husband in a shirt - hadn't expected to need another layer as it was not a cold night outside at all. (12c) I imagine that back room would need some kind of heating when Winter sets in. Prices were expected for an upmarket cocktail bar. Cocktails are €14.50. There is a very inventive & interesting list, and nicely done in a mini magazine. Beers & whiskeys were good value. The cocktail was delicious, & service was attentive & friendly. Oh - the phone line is terrible. Almost impossible to hear what's being said on the other end, with crackling noises etc. Maybe switch to a WhatsApp business phone number??

Everything about the place was excellent but the only gripe was that the Guinness Pie, as written in menu, was not a Pie!! Small portion of cubed meat and mash on plate!! Very disappointed as never had a Pie with no pastry!!!
