S0307 Haddington House Hotel

A Victorian townhouse hotel with a cocktail bar and a nice sun terrace, this was again a fairly expensive drink experience; having a Negroni to achieve my tick.

There's been a hotel here since the 1930s, with the buildings having previously been a "ladies college" since the late 1910s; and a private dwelling before that.

 

The cocktail bar is nice, the staff were very good; but my wallet was slightly tender after the visit. But despite Dun Laoghaire having a reasonable number of pubs, there isn't really as good a view over the harbour from anywhere other drinking venues except here, the previous expensive visit... and the Wetherspoons. So wallet emptying may be repeated.
