The Fayre City Bistro in the Dublin Skylon Hotel is a great spot for something to eat. Located just off the main lobby area, this is a really classy place with its brick wall interior, stylish arch designs and nice roomy seating plan. As well as the A la Carte and Table D'hote menus that are on offer for dinner, you'll also enjoy a hearty buffet breakfast here as well.

And, one of the most memorable aspects of the Fayre City Bistro is at its entrance - as you walk into the restaurant, look down at your feet and you'll see a fish tank imbedded in the floor that's full of colourful marine life!

The hotel's bar is called The Cosmopolitan, and cosmopolitan it certainly is. This is a really nice bar, bright and roomy with loads of seating areas and a long bar that means you won't have to wait in line for a pint.

And it's a genuinely popular haunt of the locals and because of its close proximity to Croke Park Stadium; it gets very busy on match days.

A carvery lunch is served here on a daily basis and an evening menu with a decent choice of dishes is also available every day. Live entertainment is provided each Saturday and Sunday night and there is a nice covered smoking area just off the main bar.
