"One of Dublin’s newest bars and certainly one of its most luxurious, 9 Below is all about sleek, stylish, and opulent cocktails in an elegant atmosphere. Set in a converted basement on Stephen’s Green, the bar has original vaulted ceilings, Art Deco velvet seats, and moody lighting. The wine list is exceptional, but it's really the cocktails, which are grouped into seasons, that deserve most of your attention. Whiskey fans will be happy with a lengthy menu as well; most notable is the Midleton Pearl 30th Anniversary, an ultra-rare blended Irish whiskey that costs €1,200 ($1,389) a glass." - Nicola Brady
