The Chelsea Drugstore

The music was great (live DJ) and the small plates as part of the bottomless brunch were fine. However, the four of us left almost sober! The drinks are not strong whatsoever and I am not sure what trickery was used but we had copious glasses of Prosecco and other in-house ‘cocktails’ (I would call them ‘mock tails’, so wasted €50 each (€200 altogether) for loads of sugar water!! Don’t go here you want to proceed to the next bar even slightly tipsy!

We arrived 5 minutes early for our booking but we weren’t allowed in as the two servers had barricaded the front door with stools on which they were smoking. The food was disgusting, ‘cocktails’ were cheap prosecco with different coloured syrups added to each one and the bill was astronomical for what we received! Don’t waste your time or money going here.

The staff here are the best I’ve seen in Dublin, after almost 5 years living in the city! Spent the evening with my friend chatting with the doorman and manager- definitely a night to remember!! I implore all to go in and grab a glass of wine and food, you won’t be disappointed. Huge thanks to Nisa and Pablo x

We went yesterday for a birthday. We were 10. The service the staff were very nice. Some cocktail were good. Had a weird taste smell lik the one with pineapple The decor is beautiful. The food in the other hand was not as good as expected for the price. There were thing missing like the onions...

Nice bar, good service, good drinks. Table seating options are good. Nice spot to meet friends and enjoy some drinks. Music can be a bit loud for conversation, but it's ok.

No Atmosphere. Tried to book the 14:30 on the sunday sitting for boozy brunch and wasnt able as it was booked out so we made the 12:30 sitting and when we were leaving at 14:45 one table had arrived, very much not booked out. Advertised as best boozy brunch in dublin would have had more craic in my kitchen. Drinks were okay and staff happy to refill which is often an issue in other venues. Only one option on the menu didnt include eggs. They wouldn't let us in until 12:40 so the two bookings were left waiting outside.

With a group of friends we went for the bottomless brunch. Cocktails were super sad (cava and Prosecco next level sweet, all the other cocktails also super sweet except one cocktail with gin which was super sour; the taste of these “cocktails” was very inconsistent - one time it is sour, next time it’s pure lemon juice). Food was also “sad”. As a group, We did not get food at the same time. And also the chicken with waffles was not long enough fried (not one, but three portions). The two stars though go to the dj and to the very sweet staff. They made the experience better :) the place definitely has the potential

A very trendy cocktail bar with an even trendier cocktail list that will appeal to any type of spirit enthusiasts. As I'm a huge whiskey fan I tried a few of the fantastic cocktails championing both Irish and Japanese whiskey. The cocktails are quite expensive but are made with the freshest ingredients. Staff were friendly and really compliment the bar. Reservations would be recommended on busy nights!!

Not a bad little place, if maybe a bit swanky for my tastes. Probably more a 3.5 if the truth be known as the staff were really friendly - but the fairly average beer selection let this place down in my book - with myself opting for a pint of Guinness (which is never a problem in Dublin in my book!) It's actually the front of a fairly big bar in the back and you can go inbetween the two and drink in either venue, the loos are also in here and to the back. The guys I was with all enjoyed their cocktails and the music was laid back and cool - if you want a cocktail then make sure you check it out.

Swanky, sophisticated and smooth - three words that best sum up the feeling of Chelsea Drug Store! A real minimalist feel to a bar but not at all pretentious as some of these places tend to be. A group of us went here after dinner and we were treated like lords! As soon was we walked in we were treated to a bottle of tap water whomever browsed the menus. Embarrassingly I picked a Brooklyn beer to drink when there was a whole host of extravagant and elegant cocktails on offer! The bar itself was truly stunning, it was lit by candle light giving a real intimate feel, even though there were 10 of us there. It kind of felt like a secret club. Really top notch in my opinion, I wish there were more places like this in my City.

Great new bar to set up on George's Street... Loving the mecca of trendy cocktail places opening. This place has an extensive cocktail menu which would take some serious session to even make a stab at all the variations. Like the interior design and the seating is nice and spacious; comfortable with plenty of standing area which am sure late on a Fri/Sat can get quite busy. I had the Mirror Ball cocktail which was delicious, I'm a massive Gin fan so it attracted me straight away. All freshly made so be patient, not a negative for me but this place is the real deal for their cocktails so don't get huffy-puffy when you have to wait a little at the bar. There is table service, which was nice... Staff were friendly though if I was to be picky, maybe not as attentive as they could be. They have a small food menu, like 3 options on it so it's just a little something to kept the hunger at bay. Interestingly, this place is connected with the Market Bar which are like 2 very completely different bar experiences however if it's your thing, you can go from one to the other through a doorway. I see this as being a great new addition to the area and me enjoying a post shopping cocktail with my girlies in the future. Looking forward to also making much more progress through the cocktail menu :-)

I wasn't impressed. The only thing that saved it from a 2 was the staff. Both cocktails we had were not what I had expected and we're overpowered by the dominant liqour as opposed to living harmoniously in the glass with the rest. Open the doors at the back and you end up in the Market Bar. The menu is quirky but if the cocktails don't stand up to scrutiny then it's all show and not much substance.

I'm not sure I was still in Dublin when we visited here. Could've easily been in NYC or London. Unfortunately though that's the highlight This would've been as low as a one except the staff are super nice! I ordered the mirror ball cocktail. Unfortunately it was a let down as it was far too strong for my liking. All style but lacking substance. There are far better places to try for cocktails around so won't be back!

Go see Clayton if you want amazing cocktails. Great atmosphere. Saw a comedy show downstairs.

I have been to the Chelsea Drugstore a few times now for drinks and so far my experiences have been mixed but overall it deserves these 4 stars! There are a few cocktails on this menu that I think miss the mark. There is one with a chilli in it, which a friend of mine ordered, none of us could finish it and it just missed the mark completely. Also on this occassion, I ordered a glass of white wine (sacreligious in a cocktail bar, really) and it hadn't been chilled, it was warm. I should have mentioned this at the time as our server was very nice. Since then my experiences have really picked up. Although I would still avoid one or two of the drinks on the menu, I have a firm favourite in The Duke which is just DELISH. You also get some lovely black pepper popcorn on your table to munch while you wait for your drinks, tasty touch! I keep coming back for the decor, it's cool and really easy on the eye. The lighting is also majorly flattering, if you ask me. The staff are also really lovely and on the ball.

Chelsea drugstore I have spotted this place over the last few weeks, genuinely thought it was a pharmacy. Then when my friend and I passed it tonight we were like say whaaaaat how do they find anything the light was so faint . So on further investigation we realised it was in fact the cities newest cocktail bar which had its silent opening last Friday . It is actually the sister bar of the market bar and had double doors ajoining the two places. There is the street level bar and sitting area and also a basement floor. The waitress told us there are 3 more floors that they plan to renivate and open in the new year. So basically it's beers ,  wines and of course cocktails. They can make any cocktail you want and they then have about 10 signature cocktails. Cocktails range from about €10.50 to €13.00 . The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful and talked us through the menu. They also have a small range of food. Pizza on Ciabata (€5.50) nachos (€8.50) chicken wings (€8.50) and one or two other tidbits. We tried the pizza and nachos.  Lovely and tasty. All in all a fun evening, cool venue and quality cocktails.

Basically the Market Bar with notions, and you'll need to be sober as a judge to navigate the menu. Staff are sound tho.

I loved the Chelsea Drugstore. It's not just anywhere that will make you a gin aviation, one of my favorite classics. The service is spot-on and the space is cozy. Bartenders were kind and helpful. I didn't eat in the connected restaurant, but the menu looked good. A great place to pop into after dinner if you are near Temple Bar.

Really nice addition to the Irish bar scene, tge place looks great and has a good cocktail list, the beer list isnt the best but not really the type of place you come for a few beers. Staff were very good and were always around when needed. Definitely will be back.

Great new cocktail bar. The place is very London we only stayed for one drink as we had plans to move on. Will definitely be back to finish trying the rest of the menu.

Three stars for ambiance and environment. It's nicely decorated and is lovely to sit in and drink. The staff are friendly but we were forgotten about a bit where we were sitting, mind you they did check that we liked our drinks. Unfortunately the cocktails were not good. I think the problem is they are trying too hard to use unusual mixes and the results are not pleasant and very strong, good for value but not so balanced. I wouldn't return for this reason, there are better places to get cocktails.

Booked a table for drinks on Friday night for after our dinner, there was 16 of us but only 5 of us where initially there when we approached the door. We were told we did not have a booking by an aggressive doorman. I was a little taken aback but I refuted this and told him I did indeed have a booking, and that I had spoke to Shane who rang me and confirmed the booking. Shane came out and told me they'd given away our table. He said I made a booking for 10 and they don't hold tables. I'd rang and said we were in the Port house pintxo (excellent) for dinner at 8 and we'd be up between 10:30 and 11. This was agreed and we had looked forward to it. In the end we were treated horribly but went in and found the place half empty with no atmosphere, they never apologised and we left. We were lucky we were accommodated by le gueuleton around the corner where we had a great night.

Cool ambiance. Nice drinks. If you have a large group this place has enough space for everyone. But make sure you like dark bars.

This place is amazing, the bartenders, bar manager and just atmosphere and drinks are amazing. If you are looking for a great mixology/speakeasy bar and overall whisky bar this place is the place to go. The food is amazing as well. Just GO

not my favourite style of bar, doesn't necessarily do anything wrong, but lacks a certain something
