The Woolen Mills

The Woollen Mills has been one of the most iconic buildings and businesses in Dublin for over one hundred years, and to have taken over this site is a serious privilege. Much like our award-winning sister restaurant, The Winding Stair, we feel like we are custodians of something very special... a piece of history (James Joyce worked here for goodness sake...how unbelievable is that?!) and we must do it proud. That's a pretty serious task, and to have a piece of Irish (and specifically Dublin) heritage is an honour. To this end, we hope that The Woollen Mills be quintessentially Irish, local and of its locale. We want it to be an 'Eating House', a house of food, a place to grab a serious coffee and, a plate of Irish charcuterie, an Irish Porterhouse or a long ray & chips, overlooking the Ha'penny Bridge and the River Liffey with a fine bottle of red or a craft cocktail. The building is over four floors and is (almost) literally on top of the bridge, with double aspect windows and a roof terrace onto the ultimate Dublin cityscape. It is truly magical and so so special. If you sit long enough, you will see at least one person you know.
