Description

Specialties

Since reopening its doors late last year after an extensive renovation, the new Odeon burst back onto the scene with the promise of good food, good drink and a good time, in delectably decadent surroundings.

Open from 4pm Monday to Saturday, we provide the ideal excuse for an after-​hours apéritif with the boss, cocktails over a weekend catch-​up or a quiet glass of vino in the library.

Boasting a drinks menu from your dreams, The Odeon’s skilled bar tenders guarantee a tipple for every taste. You could start with their signature cocktail, the vanilla-​infused Hot & Cold Cosmo — the perfect pick me up after a long day. Or if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can try a Spiced Mojito with a hint of Pineapple, or a Blackberry Truffle Manhattan (who doesn’t love a chocolate cocktail?).

It’s not all cocktails at dawn in the Odeon either. If you’re feeling peckish, the tapas inspired menu will leave you pining for more!

History

Established in 1998.

Not only is the ODEON one of Dublin’s best known bars, it is a historical gem with standing over 100 years of memorable moments in Dublin City.

The ODEON opened in 1998 in the entrance to the former Harcourt Street Railway Terminus following extensive renovation and restoration. The original building, designed by George Wilkinson, opened in 1859. It operated as Dublin City centre’s main station until the line’s closure in 1959, after which the majestic building fell prey to a soulless office conversion.

It’s rehabilitation as a public space removed all superfluous internal divisions and restored the building to it’s original grand, open dimensions.

The venue was a train station long time ago, it creates a huge space that the pub owner (s?) has decorated with big pictures and many sized tables. It is a good place to go as group, with the option to make a reservation. In summer the bbq smokes weekends to ensure that you can enjoy your afterwork with a beer and and burger made on fire.
During the week it is easy to see company night outs, meet ups or just friends going out together. Close to some clubs to dance after the beer and the dinner.

Ah the Odeon, doesn’t get much much better than some post work shenanigans here. A modern day equivalent of the Greek parthenon. Massive plot of real estate located centrally, beautiful ceramic pillars on the outside complimented with sleek interior architecture with plenty of Smithwicks on tap to feast upon.
Foods awesome, nice little BBQ area outside for summer time, plenty of seating inside for winter time.

Ich war hier in meiner Mittagspause, vom Innendesign finde ich es klasse, das Odeon hat echt viele Sitzplätze, aber es wirkt nicht groß, da es sich ganz gut in verschieden Bereiche aufteilt. Ich habe mich für einen Superfood Salat um die € 10 entschieden (mit Quinoa, Brokkoli, Kürbis…) man bekommt aber auch den anderen fettigen Spaß wie Chickenwings, Pommes, Burger, Sandwiches…

Dropped in here for dinner with my wife a few weeks back.
I’ve always knew it to be a trendy bar and that has not changed at all. It seems a little dark when you first enter. When your eyes adjust you will be amazed at how big it is inside. A great place for a large group to meet for drinks.
They have a good food menu with all the usual pub suspects on it. I went for the beef burger, not bad at all, it comes with chips and a few dips. Burger was cooked well and was tasty. My wife had a pasta dish, mushroom, chicken and chorizo. It was tasty but possibly the portion size was too big. Not a bad complaint if your starving I suppose. :-)
The service was prompt and friendly. We weren’t waiting long for our food.
My one gripe would be the quality of the Guinness. I had to send back my pint after tasting it. The waiter exchanged it without question however the replacement pint wasn’t that much better TBH.
I’d head back again for food or after work drinks.

Very central, just right at the green Luas line, for me it’s super convenient as I work literally across the road.
One day went there with colleagues, enjoyed my meal, nice atmosphere:)
Love the style and interior, very trendy place!
Perfect for a quick bite /​for a special dinner.
Highly recommend:)

Nice pub for a evening out, plenty of space and nice decoration. It’s in Harcourt street so it’s a good spot to start the night!

Odeon is a big spacious club with lots of things going on. You can chill on the terrace and see trains passing by, you can go dance inside, you can have a romantic date here (crazy sexy lightening), you can have a barbecue here (7 euros) in a barbecue lounge, and you can watch a movie here. Like, seriously, the whole package. I like the place.

There is a lot of people in weekend night! Everyone looks cool people. Drinks is nice! Odeon’s bar many liquors. Also upstairs is a good atmosphere. There is smaller than grand floor, but it’s a nice.

We came here on a weekday night (Tuesday) so it was pretty empty. Although that was the case, it was difficult to get the one (maybe two?) servers attentions. Once we did however, we were able to order and the food came quickly.
I went for an unimpressive chicken caeser salad (was mediocre) and some skinny chips. The chips were lovely — the parmesan/​rosemary ones are good, but not so rosemary-​ish as you’d hope. My friend ordered the small portion of wings which were pretty generous. Their chicken wings are more dry, and less sauce on them, but they’re good!

I like this place. The interior is really cool and different. The nibbles aren’t great but the cocktails are great and there is a nice crowd

This is a spacious bar not far from my office and can’t vouch for how it is at night however what they are doing well is the bar/​lunch menu. Great open space with plenty of tables to suit all types of group sizes and most important when on a working lunch is that everything from the time you arrive, order, eat and leave that your back in the office within the hour! They turnaround orders really well so it’s firmly on my working lunch list of places to go now. The food is tasty and well portioned, appears slightly pricey for a sandwich however comes with a side of salad or fries and well, as I mentioned the ingredients are great, flavour is on the money and portioned well so your never hungry mid-​afternoon, I’m always well satisfied up till evening time. Staff friendly and they turn out a quick service that doesn’t come across rude or abrupt, often a hard thing to balance so star for that too

First time here! Definitely not the last! Good atmosphere and nicely picked music.
I can’t say anything about the drinks there since I only had a virgin mojito!

Nice place, very big, they have two terrasses so it’s good when it’s sunny like today. It’s a cool place if you want to have after work drinks. No cheap but not very expensive. The building is unusual, looks like an old train station.

Gorgeous décor, gorgeous cocktails! Sure it can be a bit quiet during the week but that just means the lovely bar men look after you really well-​especially if you tell them it’s your birthday! You might even get a bespoke cocktail!
Great place for groups and parties.

I actually think this place is absolutely beautiful, love all the pictures around and the décor, but that’s all. Service is very poor. My last time here was a Saturday night with my friend, the bar wasn’t busy, there were about 3 people at the bar buying drinks and two behind the bar, it took about 10 – 13 minutes for an eye contact, I walked back to where my friend was (near by the other bar on the right) hoping to get a drink there, but nothing, so decided to go back to the main bar again and then I got a drink… Really? So, we had only one drink and left.

This is my first time here since its recentish makeover and I really enjoyed it too! The bar staff were busy but attentive and served us some amazing G&T’s. And let me tell you, it is so much easier to get served with the new layout — and there are plenty of seats to choose from too that are not too bustly or feel like you are in somebody way. The bouncers were pleasant, which is always a bonus — it’s the little touches like ‘good evening’ and ‘good night’ that can make the difference.
Prices are average enough — not too pricey I thought!
Good for Hendricks and cucumber heads, getting the party started heads, and after work drinks heads!

If you’re looking for a place for a night out with the girls this is the spot for you!
A few Fridays ago I headed to Odeon with a group of friends after work. Once I walked in the door there was a great buzz about the place and even better was the fact we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of prosecco to wash the working week away.
We had arranged for a table to be reserved and we got superb area which was big enough to fit 10 of us comfortably. The décor has been updated recently and it only helps the atmosphere of the bar.
As we relaxed into our area we got a classic case of the post work munchies and order a food platter. The finger food was made up of huge serving spring rolls, samosas, chicken wings, chicken skewers and wedges all of which hit and satisfied that 8 o’clock hunger pang.
They have a vast range of cocktails, beers, spirits and wines which kept us happy for the evening. As the evening turned into the night, the bar got busier and the tunes began to bust out — exactly what we were in the mood for. I didn’t think I would of been such a fan but the outdoor seating area, city centre location and staff changed my mind.
All in all, very accommodating staff and venue. Great drinks and food — perfect for the after work crowd or girls looking for a fun night out!

My fiancé kept harping on about this place saying I would like it since it’s a posh-​ish cocktail bar. I have to say he knows me pretty darn well. They have re-​vamped it in the past years and it’s a nice venue. The interior is plush that is modern vintage. There was a hen party on in there but they were contained in their area. The service was decent, nothing to commend or complain about. I take it back. There was an employee there who showed us the upstairs bar even though there was a private fxn going on. That was really nice so I will commend that.
Their cocktails are AMAZE-​BALLS. I got their ginger encounter (€ 8.50) which was absolutely delish. My partner got the pineapple sage mojito (€ 9) which was so yummy he ordered another.
Great place to go have a good cocktail with nice ambiance to chill with friends. I went on a Saturday evening at 5 so it was empty so I probably have a completely different view than people who have gone in to party. I liked it though! If I go again I’ll keep you updated.

After its reopening around December 2012 I found the bar had been completely revamped.
They removed the big long bar at the back and put in a smaller one. They brought this new bar forward too, so now there is now a seating area in behind it. Adding to that there are two more bars at either end. The result? Excellent. It makes much better sense and makes this big beautiful space not as cavernous as it was before.
One drawback after the reopening is they do not open for lunch. They do however serve the most excellent tasting plates in the evening time. The food is a tad expensive, but they do have a pretty good deal going: 3 tapas and a bottle of wine for 35 EUR. I still have to take them up on this offer.
I’ve also sampled their cocktails and on the very first occasion I was served up the most excellent Caipirinhas. Alas they have never been that good since. The girl who made them on the first occasion may now be gone. Oh well.
A good job has been done here. It makes for a nice after work drink or somewhere to bring visitors to impress.

I sought out Odeon Nite Bar based on a review of a cocktail that I found in one of the many food magazines I read (Food & Wine? Bön Appétit? Saveur? Food Network? Who knows?). The description of the French 75, in particular, caught my attention, and given that I was going to be in Dublin anyway, I made an effort to stop by on a Friday night.
The review also mentioned that Odeon serves food, but if this was the case, a menu was nowhere to be found – for that matter, a seat was difficult to come by, as well, though I did find one. Be forewarned, however – this is not a spot to come to by yourself. I happened to be alone, and while I didn’t feel ostracized, I certainly didn’t feel particularly welcome – a singles bar this is not (groups seemed to dominate the place, and large ones, at that).
All that said, the space is truly impressive and the cocktails are quite good and reasonably priced, given the venue. I would return… but with folks in tow!

The Odeon was re-​done last year, I always liked the old odeon and couldnt understand why they had to change it.
However having been there I realise now what you can do if you have some money. This is a classy place. The interior is so well designed now, Its well decorated and so well designed, with bars in three different locations to make sure everyone can get a drink without having to crowd though loads of people.
The food has changed into a series of tasting plate which are are very very good indeed. Much better than a bar has a right to serve!
Overall a great new style modern bar, as good as something can get. The old exterior is still there as well adding an air elegance to the proceedings.
