ELY is a multi-award-winning, buzzy wine bar with great food, craft beer and classic cocktails.
Opened in 1999 ELY has been recognised as Ireland’s leading wine bar from the start, continuously awarded best wine bar with Wine Spectator recognising it for Best of Award of Excellence.

In 2022 at ELY WINE BAR we are going back to our roots. That means proper WINE BAR, the place to enjoy an exceptional glass or bottle of wine without committing to a three-course meal.
In true WINE BAR fashion, we’ve created a menu with WINE FIRST in mind, best described as sharing style,
driven by seasonality and simplicity, letting the flavours of the wine and food marry together

At the heart of this RETURN TO OUR ROOTS is our continued commitment to work with artisan, organic and biodynamic wineries. To support Irish and European artisan producers, to champion sustainable practices and nourish our team who help create and enhance all the elements and moments that make an ELY WINE BAR experience.

This culinary gem that left me utterly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The duck, cooked to absolute perfection and wine selection was equally remarkable. The cheese board was delightful too! If you’re seeking a spot where great food, exceptional wine, and warm hospitality converge, look no further. I’ll definitely be returning—and recommending it to everyone I know. Thank you Michelle and Eric, and our lovely French waitress (sorry I forget her name).

Very very busy but staff took time to talk. Big match in Dublin that day so I think that accounted for the pace.

Great service with a phone call to confirm my booking. As I was approaching the end of service at 21:30 I gave my order over the phone (as it did make it easier for all parties). Arrival was great and the staff and manager very hospitable. Would highly recommend this place.

Ely food is reliable and reasonable. The wine is good but can be expensive. This last visit the service was very slow from the kitchen with a wait of over an hour for our main course which was unacceptable. The servers themselves were very pleasant.

The menu at Ely is short and uncomplicated, the food is excellent, the wines are top notch and the service is spot on. They are not too intrusive but are attentive nonetheless and very knowledgeable. We always enjoy our evenings at Ely
