Rathmines

About the restaurant

A beautiful art deco Cocktail bar located on the mezzanine level of Stella Rathmines. Once a bustling ballroom in the 1920s, it’s kept all of its old-world charms. The bar serves a full drinks menu that includes delectable, expertly made cocktails and a food menu of delicious lite bites and cinema favourites 7 days a week.

The cocktail menu plays off the classics, but with a modern twist. On occasion, taking inspiration from the blockbuster movies shown in our auditorium.

Whether you want to sip a cocktail and enjoy a bite-to-eat before or after the movie or visit the Stella Cocktail Club as your sole destination, we have all the ingredients for a truly special experience.

Please note the Stella Cocktail Club exercises an over 21's policy.

Pizzeria

Rathmines

About the restaurant

The idea of UNO is simple, to offer the number one pizza in Dublin, the very best traditional Neopolitan style pizza, using the best quality ingredients. Not only do we pride ourselves on our pizza, but also our passionate personable team who care about our product as much as we do!

We have a selection of Italian wines, cocktails and Moretti beer, tried and tested by ourselves of course, which go perfectly with our pizzas. As well as our pizza offerings, we have a range of bites, salads and sharing plates.

Dine in our first Dublin location in Rathmines and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere and upbeat tunes. Or chill with a cool Moretti at the bar while waiting for your takeaway. Or order online and have your Uno pizza delivered to your door!

Where there's dough, there's love...
