Fade Street Social Bar is a New York Style Cocktail Bar in Dublin city centre. The modern building designed to be multifunctional in order to deliver the best experience to customers.

This fantastic cocktail bar is an ideal holding space for pre-dinner drinks and cocktail bar events in the heart of Dublin city. From exciting launches to casual lounging, there’s always something exciting happening at Fade Street Social Bar.

The unique and stylish rooftop Winter Garden is a cool addition to Dublin’s outdoor lounging areas and offers superb flatbreads, cocktails and fantastic views with great tunes mixed by their DJ.

Aaron is recognised for his unique pallet and approach to creating cocktails inspired by music, stories and moments.

He is trying to combine old traditional Dublin ideology with modern Dublin style: “We take old Dublin folklore and stories you’d hear in your local about town and put our spin on them with our unique cocktails.”

A good example of Aaron’s style is “The Lugs Brannigan” cocktail, which is named after a Garda who was a tidy boxer and the only one to handle the gangs in Dublin.
