    Tucked away inside another restaurant- it was confusing to get to. Very small, unique drink menu and great service but the good menu was the same as the Thunderbird Cafe connected- if we had known we would only have gotten drinks there

    It was a great night out my friend and I had at the Beco bar! The cocktails were very rich in flavour, exactly what we were looking for. We could find many options on the menu! I really want to go back to try them all. The staff was super friendly and helpful with our questions. This is a hidden gem in Dublin!

    The best cocktail bar in Dublin that I’ve ever been. The owner is a very good vibe and so knows what he is doing. The cocktails were class. Worth the visit for sure!

    Amazing welcome from an energetic barman and host who delivered the most delicious cocktails. We chose the "Keep you secrets cocktail" which is where the bartender surprised you with a unique tasty cocktail and it did not disapoint, there was three of us and each one was delicious and the presentation was classy but fun. If looking for cocktails and a fun time i would highly recommend. Cannot praise the bartender more for his attention to details and providing a welcoming, relaxing and fun atmosphere. We tasted quite a few from the cocktail menu and we had a smile on our face tasting each one.

    Best experience and favourite place for cocktails!! The owner and the bartender is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about mixology!! We did trust him with the Secret cocktails, he listened carefully to what our preferences were and the results were simply perfection everytime. Great balance of flavours, precision and flawless presentation and energy !! This bar is a Hidden gem and can’t recommend it more.

    I recently visited this cocktail bar Beco and was blown away by the incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and attentive service. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date. The cocktails were absolutely amazing, each one crafted with precision and care. I tried several different drinks and was impressed with the unique flavor combinations and attention to detail. The bartenders were knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, and it showed in every drink they made. The food was also exceptional, with a menu that offered a variety of small plates and entrees to choose from. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out. The service, atmosphere, cocktails, and food were all top-notch, and I can't wait to come back again soon. 5 stars all around!

    Amazing little hidden bar. I couldn’t recommend anymore. The bartender was so helpful and made us really nice cocktails, he even made us a special one that wasn’t on the menu. We also had a delicious dinner as we had access to the full Thunderroad Cafe. I would highly recommend!
