Fade Street Social Restaurant is an ambitious new project incorporating two restaurants under one roof; The Gastro Bar and The Restaurant, along with a relaxed Wintergarden.

Fade Street Social celebrates Irish food and character. Its approach is another departure from the formality of fine dining, while trying to capture the unique sense of humour of the Irish.

In this huge 8000sq ft. space, again, Dylan’s fantastic creative team has captured a number of uniquely different yet subtly connected brands all under one roof. It seems that the main beneficiary in the current economic climate is the diner, as restaurateurs have been forced to sharpen their offerings. As a result, people can enjoy superbly high standards at affordable prices.

Dylan is hell bent on continuing to offer creative, exciting new concepts that are quite simply for everyone, delivering great quality and great flavour in a relaxed setting.

We’ve always had the greatest respect for
a quality tipple. We’ve traded furs for it,
fought wars for it. Even the monks got in
on the act. They drank beer because of its
health-giving B vitamins and amino acids!
What about the old story of High King
Muirchertach Mac Erca, who jumped
into a barrel of wine to escape from a fire
in his castle. He literally drowned in it.
That’s some way to go.
Maybe you thought cocktails were new fangled invention. Well
surprisingly the Irish have been shaking things up since the High
Kings of Tara spiced up their mead with thyme, rosemary and
sweet briar. And let’s not forget the legendary Betsy Flanagan? This
formidable lady of Irish descent invented the very first cocktail when
she knocked up a lethal concoction, known as Betsy’s bracers, and
served them to Revolutionary soldiers in her New York tavern.
So choose yourself a cocktail, raise your glass let’s celebrate it, savour
it, reinvent it and, most important of all, let’s share it.
Cocktails
Murphys Measure
Previously Fade St was a tannery, now we have a different type of Chopin
going on! The botanical notes of Becherovka and French aperitif Lillet
Blanc are combined in equal parts . Shaken hard over ice with a large
measure of Chopin Potato Vodka and two dashes of aromatic bitters.
Served in an extra chilled coup glass with a Kewra water fragrance and
grapefruit zest garnish.
12.95
Betsy’s Bracer
A nod to that grand dame Betsy Flanagan, who created the first cocktail.
Plump Irish raspberries are muddled with fresh lime juice, rose cordial
and a dash of Orange blossom water. Shaken hard over ice with a large
measure of Absolut Pear infused vodka and served in an extra chilled
martini glass with a mint and cranberry garnish.
10.95
Goosegog
Remember picking gooseberries off the bushes when you were a kid?
Our delicious homemade gooseberry purée is mixed with a large measure
of Absolut citron and sweetened with some golden caramel syrup.
Shaken hard and served short over crushed ice.
9.80
Slippery Sloe
This is a mixture of Sipsmiths sloe gin with a Quinine based aperitif.
Fresh citrus oils and flavours of almond are added to the mixture in equal
parts. Shaken hard over ice with dash of aromatic bitters and egg white.
Double strained into a coup glass with a lemon zest garnish.
10.20
Carrot Head
We had Donnacha out digging carrots this morning… no really we did!
This lovely light cocktail is bursting with the refreshing flavours of carrot
and orange. Our own homemade carrot pureé is mixed with orange
infused Rum and shaken hard over ice with some Galliano, Falernum
and agave nectar. Topped up with a seasoned carrot foam and served tall.
11.65
Slaughter House
Legend has it Cúchulainn used to give his army onions for breakfast for
their nutritional value…but we think the full Irish in a glass is a better way
to go! Bloody sundried roasted tomatoes are muddled with fresh zingy
basil and Jameson Whiskey infused with bacon. Rolled between tins with
a dash of Fade St Social “El Diablo” mix. Garnished with a celery foam
and cucumber spear.
12.50
Soothe The Beast
Couples who place lavender between their sheets will never quarrel,
so Nan said anyway. Lavender and elderflower are combined with the
G’vine Floraison and sharp citrus juices. Shaken hard over large ice cubes
with egg white and lavender bitters. Served in a chilled coup glass and
garnished with fresh lime zest. I wonder if Nan knew lavender is also
an aphrodisiac
13.50
Away with the Fairies
Druids believed that if you fell asleep under the heavy scent of an elder you
would be carried off to the world of the fairies and be protected from snakes
and evil! A wonderfully balanced cocktail of apple and elderflower and just
a hint of cherry. Absolut Vodka is shaken hard over ice with fresh apple
cordial, flavours of citrus and two dashes of juicy cherry infused bitters.
Served in a chilled martini glass with a delicate elderflower and grapefruit
foam.
10.20
Mrs. Doyle
Oh gwan, gwan, gwan, gwan, gwan! Havana seven year old rum is mixed
with subtle flavours of cinnamon, hazelnut and a ginger liquor. Shaken
over ice and topped up with hot water and garnished with Barry’s tea and
lemon. This is the ultimate hot toddy. Ya will.
10.20
Robbing the Orchard
The flavours of anise and apple are here, but this deliciously juicy and
slightly sour cocktail is a bit more classy. Green Spot Irish whiskey is
mixed with homemade anise syrup, fresh pressed apple juice, orange
bitters and a dash of Ricard and egg white. Served in a pre-chilled vintage
coup glass and garnished with an anise star.
10.95
Big Fella
Brave, hardworking, dedicated and having tolerated no weaknesses in
anyone, especially himself – We think Michael Collins himself would
approve of this cocktail. Fresh beetroot juice mixed with muddled
blackberries and citrus juices and shaken hard over ice with a large
measure of Cachacha and  Kammerlings Ginsing liquor.Served tall over
crushed ice and garnished with crushed ice and blackberries.
10.65
Strumpet City
Smells and tastes of old Dublin, so no need to read 1040 pages of Ulysses,
eh JJ? Cool smooth flavours of Jameson 12-year old whiskey, stirred over
ice with orange citrus oils, Peychauds and a rare French tobacco liquor.
Served on large ice cubes in an old fashioned glass with a lemon zest
garnish.
11.20
Mairead Rose
Old sister Mairead was mad about her flowers… and tequila. She mixed
Patron silver tequila with fresh citrus juices and equal parts of
elderflower liquor and rose cordial. We serve it in a chilled martini glass
with a vanilla salted rim.
15.95
Beer drinking as we know it was invented
12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent
between Turkey, Iraq and Iran. But we
were pretty quick to get our hands on it and
turn it into our own. Monks glugged it
down for medicinal purposes. Even
St Bridget got in on the act with a
nifty party trick where she turned a leper’s
bathwater into ale.
That said, we weren’t exactly spoilt for choice when it came to
ordering a bit of liquid refreshment – it was a pint of porter, simple
as that. At Fade Street Social we’ve moved on a bit since then with a
pretty impressive beer & cider menu. Choose a foamy Franziskaner or
blow your socks off with a sup of Ginger Beard. And don’t forget to
grab a bite to eat too.
