Spring is in the air and with only 3 weeks until the clocks spring forward, never has it been a more apt time to utter that well-worn phrase: ‘Sure, there’s a grand old stretch to the evenings’.

Cocktails….cocktails and more cocktails combined with some warming eclectic dishes from the team behind Ireland’s number one cocktail bar? Could we ask for anything more as we bid adieu to those long summer days? ...
