"I've lived in Dublin for 15 years and I have never seen or heard of The Blind Pig before! It doesn't exist, I promise!" - said the local taxi driver.
Searching For Dublin's Best Cocktail Bar...
On our first short break to Dublin, we were almost swayed to believe the top-rated speakeasy we'd scoured the internet to find was all a facade!
We spent our first night adamant that we'd walked past this elusive cocktail bar at least twenty times. Although every shop, restaurant or bar was very much closed! We scoured Google Maps and asked locals. As well as even stopping by Molly Malone to see if she knew where Dublin's best cocktail bar was! However, eventually, we had to admit defeat and headed back to our apartment, still clueless!
The next morning we didn't leave the house until we knew how to find this cocktail bar! As a result, we eventually found out that it was hidden inside an Italian restaurant. Also, entry was by reservation only. Finally, we had our answer! Following this, all was revealed in a secret email confirming our reservation. Luckily, we managed to get a late table, as they were almost fully booked! The directions were very obscure. The email mentioned asking the waiter about a customer. As well as finding a french mustard sign, knocking on a pig's head and walking through a bookcase!
