Chef proprietor Dylan McGrath & his team have created this more casual dining experience for Fade Street Social. The Woodfired Restaurant has a menu featuring wood-fired dishes, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re catching a show at the theatre, heading out for a night on the town, or simply enjoying a meal with friends, this part of Fade Street provides a fun, yet relaxed and more affordable dining experience.The Woodfired menu specialises in cooking food over hot coals, to achieve more unique flavours and textures. The smoke from the coals imparts a smoky flavour, while the heat caramelises the sugars in the food, creating a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Wood-fired cooking is a traditional cooking method that has been enjoyed for centuries, we've now brought some of that to Fade Street Social.Ascend to the first floor and discover our New York-style cocktail bar and roof garden, offering snacks, cocktails, great music and fantastic views.

Marco Pierre White’s idea of simple is old school: elegant dishes prepared using the finest ingredients by chefs trained in London by Marco himself. The deceptively simple menu demands every dish earn its place: the choicest cuts of meat, freshest fish, classic sauces. The vibe? Grown up, relaxed, playful. The setting? An opulent room you’ll feel at home in, only better!

    We had a table (booth) just for us two which was lovely. My husband sat on the outside which he got a bit annoyed as people kept opening the door and a little draught came in. This didn’t spoil his enjoyment of the meal and service. Starters - he had beef croquettes and I had Gambas which I’d never had. 5 prawns in a chilli oil with sourdough bread. I think you are supposed to pick them up but I used my cutlery. Lovely. Mains - husband had 7oz Beef which he said was delicious and filling. I had Rotisserie Chicken with rice. I’m not mad about rice but this was delicious that I liked it more than the chicken which comes with gravy. Chicken was oh so tender and too big a portion for me to finish. Deserts - I had lemon tart, meringue and raspberry sorbet which cleaned my palate nicely. Husband had choux bun which comes with pistachio ice cream that they changed to vanilla and jug of chocolate sauce. He’s not a lover of nutty ice cream. 2 bottles of still water and 2 bottles of Malbec. Total €207 which we rounded to €220. Service was excellent. All staff smiling and well presented. I liked how the restaurant was separate from the pub. I’d definitely return.
