ELY is a multi-award-winning, buzzy wine bar with great food, craft beer and classic cocktails.
Opened in 1999 ELY has been recognised as Ireland’s leading wine bar from the start, continuously awarded best wine bar with Wine Spectator recognising it for Best of Award of Excellence.

In 2022 at ELY WINE BAR we are going back to our roots. That means proper WINE BAR, the place to enjoy an exceptional glass or bottle of wine without committing to a three-course meal.
In true WINE BAR fashion, we’ve created a menu with WINE FIRST in mind, best described as sharing style,
driven by seasonality and simplicity, letting the flavours of the wine and food marry together

At the heart of this RETURN TO OUR ROOTS is our continued commitment to work with artisan, organic and biodynamic wineries. To support Irish and European artisan producers, to champion sustainable practices and nourish our team who help create and enhance all the elements and moments that make an ELY WINE BAR experience.

Ely food is reliable and reasonable. The wine is good but can be expensive. This last visit the service was very slow from the kitchen with a wait of over an hour for our main course which was unacceptable. The servers themselves were very pleasant.

The menu at Ely is short and uncomplicated, the food is excellent, the wines are top notch and the service is spot on. They are not too intrusive but are attentive nonetheless and very knowledgeable. We always enjoy our evenings at Ely

We would not usually complain or leave bad reviews but our experience in Ely last night fell way below the expectations we had of the place. The food was ok but from the second we arrived we got the impression that we were being rushed to the point where the bill was dropped down at 9.30pm (we had booked for 8pm) without us asking, lights turned on, bins being moved around us and a very unfriendly waiter. We won’t be going back
