Looking for post-work, grape-based fun (with nibbles)?
Plonk yourself down.

Winedown, a brand new wine bar located on Montague Street in heart of Dublin City, is the latest brainchild of entrepreneur Maeve O’Malley, the woman behind Dublin’s favourite cheesy café, Meltdown.
Winedown, which officially opened its doors last Friday December 4, is Meltdown’s night-time sister. It’s a wine bar but so much more.
Winedown offers food and wine with relaxed service in a space filled with contemporary Irish art. Think sharing plates and set menus with interesting wine pairings and exceptional cheese…
Aside from an inevitably excellent cheese plate, Winedown’s menu is small but perfectly formed. Nibbles start at €4 and include Smoked Almonds and Gougeré with Smoked Mackerel Pâte.
Wine is available by the glass from €11 while bottles of red white and sparkling wines are available from €26…
Meanwhile…
Chef Maeve Walsh curated the Winedown menu…Nadine Savage carried out the interior design…DJ Tara Stewart created the playlist and Meltdown stalwart Sarah Maloney designed the branding. Nichola Hughes created the wine list, Fattiburke painted an original mural that greets you as you enter the space, and Kate Dillon is keeping loyal fans up to date sharing sneak peeks on social media…
Also: spot the photographer, anyone?
one to try…. eventually, hope they haven’t gone too mad with the pricing ?
Winebars are a thing again?
Back to the eighties we go so.
well beats going to a pub for one of those airplane little bottles of wee for 8 quid
Actually The Workshop beside Tara st station did a decent Malbec, poured freehand by a dishy barman, used to be handy for the wait for the train home from work…sigh
“those airplane little bottles of wee for 8 quid”
exactly this. since 1980.
Janet, I’ve included some prices there now.
ta :)
that smoked mackerel pate sounds good
sounds like Bodger is asking to be taken out on the town, J
It is Christmas after all
but could he keep up ;)
Good luck.
Fortunate favours the brave.
We won’t even think about booking until menus and gallery pics are published on the website. Lame launch!
Jesus, another competition?
5!
Jesus, another competition?
A: il Primo!
11 quid glass of wine!
Yeah that had me raising my brows too.
desperately clicks heels together and repeats there’s no place like home
Those heels aren’t at the end of OTK boots by any chance.
Asking for….well, meself actually.
;)
sounds expensive. looks unsafe. i pass it daily and wondered about it, but at those prices it will go the same way as Porndog did across the road from it. Anyone remember that place? 17 quid for the cheapest hotdog, and cocktails served in hipflasks in a book or some nonsense. Gas. Anyway, even tho people havent accepted we are in a recession. we are. and 11 quid glasses of wine aint guna fly. and put up some screens until september. that whole upstairs just needs one infected person to start a cluster. trust me, im a doctor.
She’s small but far away in the mirror! Do I win the wine bar as a prize?
Please?
you win the odd blue stool
what colour is your kitchen?
Kitch.
a kitsch kitch
nice
More aesthetically pleasing than the bedkitches that have replaced crying chairs all over Dublin.
Absolutely BB, there are no philistines in THIS Brutalist semi-d!
Mine’s more Kirch this weather
But I like the look of this Winedown
Perfect setting for our Christmas get together Janie
You can winedown – I’ll have yours
And you can have my cheese on mackerel crackers
We can share the dessert trolly
What a terribly sexist venture this is! I really would have trouble frequenting such an establishment…
