Dakota, City Centre South

View more pictures »

The Dakota Bar opened in June 2000 on Dublin's South William Street. For decades, South William Street was the centre of the Rag Trade in Dublin - Dakota used to house the fabric warehouse for nearby Grafton Street's Switzer's Department Store. Switzers is now long gone and has been replaced by uber fancy department store, Brown Thomas. Over the past decade South William Street has flourished as a destination with plenty of hip eateries and bars opening, along with some of the bigger Hair and Beauty Saloons in the city. It is from this local crowd that Dakota draws in the masses. There are many facets to Dakota - during the day it serves fine freshly made food and offers an oasis of calm in the centre of the city. At night - it's a popular destination for drinks and rendevouses. And at the weekend it a great place to party 'til late with some damn fine music playing also. The main principles behind Dakota are offering the public the best in quality food and drinks and service in a modern and chic interior. We celebrate 10 years in 2010 and we'll be having lots of events to mark the occasion! We look forward to welcoming you.

Whether I go here with a large or small group of friends or even on my own for a quiet pint or cuppa I always enjoy my visits to Dakota. The staff are friendly, efficient and well informed (be that about their menu or if you want to ask about a cocktail or a recommendation for a drink). Their menu is lovely, familiar options with interesting twists put on them, credit goes to the chefs because any dish I have ever eaten here has been well presented and served to me in good time aswell. The bar takes on a whole new atmosphere at night at the weekend, it has a great buzz and is a great place to start or have your night out.! I always mention Dakota to anyone who's not sure where's good to go in the city centre.

Had a mixture of different appetizer/Tapas dishes. Quality was of reasonable standard. The portion size was excellent. Also enjoyed there various cocktails. Service was a bit chaotic and the place was not overly crowded.

I was here on sat 15/10/11. The atmosphere was great, and the food was fantastic but i was a little let down by the service. we were sitting at the table for 15 mins before anyone came over to us. also it was a little slow inbetween courses. BUT i have to say it was great value and the food amazing!! For starter i had the duck spring rolls, mains had the burger and chips. The chips were really chunky and were homemade. i do recommend Dakota and i will be back and will put the service down to just a bad day.
