About Us
The Chocolate Bar is a room within the old train tunnel where the original Grade One Listed stone walls are warmed by soft furnishings, drapes and curtains to create a unique, cosy, comfortable and intimate space for you to meet old friends, or indeed new ones. Open from 4.30pm through Saturday. The Chocolate Bar offers complimentary WIFI and non intrusive music to accommodate catch ups, meetings, make ups and break ups.
In addition to the usual selection of beers and spirits The Chocolate Bar drinks menu consists of five bespoke best-seller cocktails, a decent wine list (with buy-the-bottle options), and hot drinks served in paper cups, for you to take or leave. Along with Coffee, Tea and the usual suspects, award winning Michelin Star Chef Dylan McGrath has been kind enough to step in and help us create the Signature Hot Chocolate - which we wanted to be special and unique to The Chocolate Bar. And it's *gorgeous*.
POK Design are responsible for fully refurbished interior of The Chocolate Bar. The inspiration for the sweeping red curtains leading through from The Chocolate Bar to Crawdaddy is definitely a Theatrical throwback, the gunmetal gauze at the entrance can apparently be traced back to the reception of a New York Office Block, and a portion of the seating originates from a chair that was rescued from a skip, subsequently becoming the prototype for our carpenters to replicate. From Monaghan to Morocco, all of the furniture has been hand picked to be eclectic yet comfortable and functional, and beautiful natural wood flooring maximises the effect of the beautiful décor.
The Chocolate Bar is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 4.30pm. Music from 8pm. You will still be able to hear yourself think.
We welcome groups of all shapes and sizes and are happy to home your book group, knitting circle or group therapy sessions. Tables at The Chocolate Bar can be reserved by emailing management@pod.ie or by calling 01 4763374
