Best Cocktail Bars in Bray

A Great, informal, location for a first date dinner.

From the lovely phone call the day before arriving, to the time we parked and walked in the door, staff, hotel and overall feel was so welcoming. Amazing place for a birthday celebration and the staff singing happy birthday made my partners week!!! Thanks so much. Above and beyond expectations.

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??

Lovely bank holiday lunch roast beef with gorgeous veg celeriac butternut squash mash & roasties huge portions. Chicken curry fab as was spicy chicken burger - a really lovely spot after a walk around glendalough! Looking forward to a return visit very soon fab end to the bank holiday weekend

Staff were friendly and helpful. Service and food was good. Prawn tacos was lovely but quite a small portion for the price.
