Quality cocktails

Before diving into the killer food at All Bar Chicken, it’s worth reviewing the stellar cocktails available. Not only does All Bar Chicken host a brilliant cocktail list with some high-end spirits and fantastic mixologists, but all cocktails are only €8. It’s a steal for the quality of drinks and more than worth tucking into a couple before dinner. The Roe & Cosy is a great spin on an old fashioned; Roe & Co whiskey is blended with honey, lemon, and spices. The French 75 is a truly unique gin cocktail featuring Ophir Gin, orange liqueur, Prosecco and lemon. 

It’s worth remembering you can avail of the fantastic cocktail range without alcohol too, and we must say the milkshakes are fantastically thick and flavoursome, with the strawberry flavour our nailed-on favourite.

Wild, wild wings

When kicking off your chicken dinner at All Bar Chicken, trying out the wings is unmissable. There’s an immense amount of competition for the title of ‘best chicken wings’, but All Bar Chicken will undoubtedly have its name in the discussion. Choose from buffalo, barbecue, satay or Korean hot sauces to marinate over some fantastically fried chicken wings. The Korean hot might be a challenge for some, but it certainly oozes flavour. The satay wings are another unique combination and pair excellently with a frozen strawberry daiquiri, which helps cool the spices down. If you’ve got a hunger on and are wanting more, you can avail of chicken tenders for €10.95 and have them marinated in All Bar Chicken’s excellent sauces. 

You can get the chicken wings for €13.95 and they’re a brilliant sharing platter among family and friends. All Bar Chicken also caters to vegetarians with its cauliflower wings, which hold the same tender and immense flavour as the chicken.
