I’ll admit: my weekends were getting a bit same-old, same-old. The same schedule, the same cafes. What I really wanted was an excuse to round up some friends, catch up nicely, and just enjoy ourselves without worrying about the bill. That’s when I made it my business to get serious about finding the top spots for best bottomless brunch Dublin had to offer.
My mission wasn’t just to find a place with open drinks from the bottom of a glass, but to experiment with some places that had a bit of character and ambiance appropriate to the occasion. And as you’ve already guessed, I ended up going everywhere from active social clubs with live music to laid-back, low-key places that felt like a hidden gem.
From savory eggs Benedict to sweet waffles and everything in between, this list is a result of my delicious quest for the perfect weekend treat in the city. Keep reading to find out more about each of these gems I found!

Bow Lane Social Club
You know, sometimes you just end up at a location and it turns out to be a life-changer. That is what happened to me when I was looking for a place to have a bite to eat and came across Bow Lane Social Club on 17 Aungier Street. With a superb 4.2-star Google review (1,702+) and 3.8 TripAdvisor review (325+), it’s a busy place with a great vibe, and it’s an absolute must for anyone seeking the best bottomless brunch Dublin has.
The first thing that struck me was that they were doing live music for the brunch. It was just the perfect atmosphere. But the staff were what really made the experience. Their employees were just wonderful and nice. My waitress, Mizza, was a total gem and even did a shot with me! One of the other servers of ours, Sam (yes, same name as mine), was also absolutely great and made us want to return as quickly as possible. Their service is a huge reason that I’m already making plans to come back for another meal here.
The drinks and food were also great. I had the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever eaten, which is no mean feat. My friend ate some of the vegetarian options, which they said needed adjusting, but overall, the food was great. For a very reasonable cost, the bottomless boozy brunch gives you an amazing experience, with good food and even better drinks. It’s great value for money.
Overall, the food, the music, and the cocktails were all top-notch. I will be back, but with friends next time. You can reserve a table by calling them on +35314789489 or emailing book@bowlane.ie.
Wigwam
There are a few places in Dublin that are so great, they have become a habit. Wigwam at 54 Middle Abbey Street is one of them for me. With a brilliant 4.2-star rating on Google (2,225+ reviews) and 3.7 on TripAdvisor (139+ reviews), it’s been at the end of my short list of favourite places for more than a decade. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a hip place with a great atmosphere, and it’s a must for those who want the best bottomless brunch Dublin has to offer.
What is so great about Wigwam is that it is so versatile. It’s the perfect place for anything, whether it’s a casual lunch or a friends’ drag brunch, birthday karaoke evening, or a whole evening party. The waiters are always so cute and friendly. Chef Pedro always amazes us with new, tremendous menus highlighting Brazilian food in the most tremendous manner, and his staff is just wonderful.
The food is amazing. The brunch deal is well worth it, and while they no longer do the actual bottomless drinks deal like they used to, this three-drinks-per-brunch deal is quite adequate. I just adored the waffles and chicken, which is not a combination available everywhere, and their nachos were awesome too. You can also order plenty of authentic Brazilian dishes like Pao de queijo and cassava fries, which are simply so yummy.
I adore this place for the food, but they have events constantly, which makes it an excellent location for any event. It’s certainly a great place with excellent cuisine and a terrific atmosphere. Great job, guys. You can reserve a table by phoning them at +35318734020.
Beef & Lobster
When it comes to the best bottomless brunch Dublin offers, there are some places that are just consistently a winner. And for me, one of them is Beef & Lobster at 39 Parliament Street. With a solid 4.2-star rating on Google (2,124+ reviews) and 4.1 on TripAdvisor (901+ reviews), it’s a place that’s very difficult to top for a celebration or a treat in the city centre.
Although the atmosphere can be a bit better, it is the service where this establishment really shines. Our servers, Angela and Julia, were so nice and walked us through the menu, the specials, and the drinks. They were so warm and took care of us just right—our bottomless beverages were never empty! And a nice touch was when Chef Sebastian came out to our table to see if the lobster was being enjoyed.
Now, for the food. If you’re a seafood lover, the lobster here is the absolute standout winner. It’s a definite opportunity to spoil yourself, and it tastes absolutely amazing. The steak is also fantastic, so even if you’re not a huge seafood fan, there are plenty of great options to fit all budgets. The seafood part was okay, but the lobster is what you’re here for.
All in all, Beef & Lobster stands by its promise of good food and even better service. It’s the perfect venue to treat yourself and your loved ones. You can make a reservation by calling +35315313810.
Jackie’s
Some places are just a vibe, and Jackie’s on 79 Aungier Street is definitely one of them. With a great 4.2-star rating on Google (598+ reviews) and a 4.1 on TripAdvisor (14+ reviews), this place is a total 90s throwback and an absolute blast for anyone looking for the lively and best bottomless brunch Dublin has on offer. It’s definitely worth a trip, and I’d recommend booking a table to avoid being left high and dry, as it gets really busy.
What a useful little pub! The atmosphere and feel are great, and the whole place is a complete throwback to the 90s, and it’s such fun. The staff were great, so welcoming and attentive. John and Martin were superb and provided first-class service, dashing around at all times, making sure we were looked after. It was just so lively in there, and they actually had games with the brunch, which was a great touch. We were celebrating my sister’s hen party, and we absolutely had a fantastic time, especially with the drag show they had on.
The bottomless brunch is definitely worth the price. For €35, we got 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink, with a good selection of cocktails and beer. The cocktails were not too potent, but we just had mimosas and beer, and it was great! We did not have much expectation from the pizzas, but they were otherworldly. All of it was gobbled up, and the DJ deserves a special mention too, as the music was fantastic, playing all the classic 90s songs.
It was a great start to finish. The combination of yummy food, brilliant music, and lively atmosphere makes this place the perfect spot for a cheap pre-drink. I 100% recommend it. You can book a table by calling them on 014988868 or emailing hello@jackies.ie.
The Revolution
Sometimes the greatest brunches are the ones you stumble upon on a relaxing weekend, catching up with friends. That was definitely true of The Revolution, at 10 Terenure Road East. With an incredible 4.6-star rating on Google (650+ reviews) and a 4.3 on TripAdvisor (124+ reviews), this little gem is an absolute must call with a beautiful, welcoming ambience and an absolute winner for the best bottomless brunch Dublin can offer.
When we arrived, we were the only ones there, which was a bit surprising. But it ended up working out in our favor! The service was excellent, and we were served immediately. Our servers, Anura and Jonathan, were super friendly and nice, and made it all the better. I absolutely love the institution because it has a fantastic ambiance that makes me feel like home in California.
The food was delicious. I had the eggs Benedict, which was so delicious, and my friend had the avocado toast and poached eggs, which she described as lovely. We had a bit of everything: fish tacos, chicken tacos, and chicken and waffles. We also ordered the bottomless mimosa brunch, which is nice if you enjoy orange juice. And they serve breakfast burritos, but without chips inside them, which I thought was a strange twist!
I’m just so glad that I found The Revolution to catch up with my friends for brunch. Food was great, the ambiance was just so nice and cozy, and the staff was just impeccable. I’ll be back for sure and would recommend it strongly to anyone looking for a relaxed brunch spot. You can book a table by calling them at 014064104 or emailing info@therevolution.ie.
