We offer both the casual Gastrobar experience to the more formal dining, serving old school dishes with a contemporary slant. There’s something here to suit every taste and personality.
As the nights draw in and the air turns crisp, step into the warmth of the Schoolhouse Gastrobar and let the season embrace you. Our crackling fireplace, soft candlelight and inviting atmosphere make it the perfect place to unwind and indulge.
Sip on our signature seasonal cocktails: rich, spiced, and full of festive charm; or wrap your hands around a comforting hot drink made to warm the soul. Whether you’re sharing stories with friends or stealing a quiet moment by the fire, there’s no better way to spend a cosy evening.
Feel the match-day buzz in the perfect setting!
Located just a short stroll from the Aviva Stadium and RDS, Schoolhouse is known as the ideal spot to soak up the pre- and post-match atmosphere. Enjoy our special Match Day Menu, designed for smooth service so you can focus on the game, the crowd, and the craic.
Catch all the action live on our big screen and multiple TVs throughout the Gastrobar, making sure you don’t miss a second. And it’s not just for rugby and football; our Match Day Menu also applies to select concert days, so you can fuel up before the show!
*The Match Day Menu might not apply all day, depending on the event. We’ll keep you informed ahead of time, or feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions.
Our Head Chef, Francois Grelet, is deeply passionate about creating dishes that celebrate the best of fresh, local produce. Every plate reflects his commitment to quality and his belief that great food starts with great ingredients.
We proudly partner with organic farms and local suppliers, sourcing everything from micro-herbs to indigenous Irish ingredients that showcase the rich flavors of our region. Whether you're craving comforting Gastrobar favourites or more classic, refined dishes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Authentic. Seasonal. Delicious.
That’s what you’ll find in every bite at Schoolhouse Gastrobar.
"Wonderful place, food is exceptionally delicious and moderately priced for the quality. The service was amazing - we had a table right in front of the fire (definitely a pleasure on a chilly day) the staff checked on us several times without it seeming overbearing which is appreciated. We go multiple times per year and have never been disappointed."

"We found this wonderful restaurant, and from the moment we arrived we were treated with kindness, excellence, and warmth.
The food is delicious and far exceeded our expectations. Be sure to try the crème brûlée — it has a wonderful balance between ginger and a citrus sweetness that makes it a fresh, delicate, and elegant dessert.
We would like to highlight the premium attention from Catarina, who kindly asked Chef Francisca to explain how the desserts were prepared. Chef Francisca has a special touch that we could truly enjoy in the delicious dishes. Thank you so much, Chef Francisca.
Thank you Catarina for making our evening beautiful with your care and attention to detail.
Thank you Jeremy for lighting the fireplace for us.
We will definitely return and recommend it 1000%."
