Dinner
An evening at the Schoolhouse Gastrobar is one of the finest ways to end a day in Dublin. Our dinner menu reflects the passion of Head Chef Francois Grelet for fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, served in a warm and atmospheric setting.
Summer drinks at the Schoolhouse
As the evenings stretch out and the city slows down, step into the Schoolhouse Gastrobar and settle in. Our courtyard, high ceilings and easy atmosphere make it the perfect place to catch the last of the sun.
Sip on our signature seasonal cocktails: bright, fresh and made for long evenings; or keep it simple with a cold beer and something crisp. Whether you’re meeting friends after work or stealing a quiet hour to yourself, there’s no better way to spend a summer evening.
Match and Concert Days at Schoolhouse
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.
Fresh, Local, and Full of Flavour
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 flavours of our region. From comforting gastrobar favourites to 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.

“Everything was excellent. The friendliness and efficiency of the staff, the comfort, the gastro bar, the very good breakfast, the fact that they cleaned the room even in the afternoon, the very calm and discreet hotel, even though it’s not in the centre of Dublin it’s relatively close, ideal for spending a few days in Dublin.”
