  Gorgeous interior, dark and rustic. Reminded me of Olivander's wand shop. Solid choice of whiskey and a larger more modern section in the back.

  Large city centre bar, pastiche decor. Lively young crowd helps with atmosphere. I can imagine it's not a place for a quiet pint. Expensive drinks as seems to be the city centre norm now.

  Really not a friendly environment, having just received the last orders we were asked to move to the front bar, we moved to the front bar, sat down and then we were asked to move to the waiting area at the front of the bar, we moved again and with staff cleaning all around us we managed to drink only around half of our last drinks when four (yes four) bouncers surrounded us and told us we had to leave, a total of 10 minutes after getting a last round from the bar we had to leave without half our drinks and were ushered out the door as these pathetic doorman tried to intimidate us. Honestly Rag Trader/Dakota is a dive of a bar with rude staff and overpriced drinks, if you’re looking for a good bar in the area go to Drury Building, Market Bar, Dice Bar, Exchequer, The Globe, there’s a lot better options out there than this place.

  Dublin has a large amount of good pubs, but this is not one of them. With rude barmen and overpriced whiskey this bar is designed to gouge money from unsuspecting tourists. Don't be fooled by the decor - Irish people don't drink here, partly due to the prices and partly due to the rude barmen. Be warned! I've been here once and won't return.

  Very cool Bar, great whiskey selection! Food is Irish with a modern twist! Crab salad is amazing! Staff are very friendly especially Keith & Joe!
