The Stapleton

Cocktails, Pints & Late Nights in Dublin

Step inside The Stapleton, a welcoming Dublin bar set within the Georgian surroundings of Powerscourt House on South William Street. Inspired by the craftsmanship of Michael Stapleton, the space nods to the character of Georgian Dublin without feeling formal, fixed, or overly reverential.

The Stapleton is designed to be easy to enjoy. The Main Bar is walk-in only, seven days a week, while The Lounge upstairs offers limited reservations at select times. Whether you’re dropping in for one drink or settling in for the evening, the emphasis is on comfort, conversation, and a natural flow through the day and into the night.

Drinks are varied and considered, but never precious. Alongside classic and contemporary cocktails, you’ll find quality wines, premium spirits, and a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, all treated with the same care. It’s about drinking well across the board, whatever your preference.

Inside, original architectural details are paired with warm lighting and an easy, social atmosphere. Afternoons are relaxed, evenings build naturally, and the room fills with the steady energy of Dublin city life.

More than a cocktail bar, The Stapleton is first and foremost a great Dublin bar, inclusive, unpretentious, and designed for meeting, lingering, and coming back again.

Luxe bar with a curved wooden counter, upholstered barstools with gold bases, a well-stocked liquor shelf with warm lighting, and a staircase with black handrails and green under-step lighting beside a decorative greenery display.
