New cocktails include Sióga (fairies) with Bulleit Bourbon, Guinness syrup, orange and Angostura bitters for those love an aromatic bittersweet cocktail, and Ealaí (swans) with Roe & Co Irish Whiskey, espresso, caramel, coconut syrup, Frangelico liqueur and orange bitters, which is best enjoyed after dinner.
Boasting a selection of rare and limited-edition Irish whiskeys, connoisseurs can enjoy a collector’s pour at Runway 28 guided by sommelier and expert, Davorin Halacek, and bar manager Higor Franjotti.
A Celebration of Irish Ingredients and Local Producers
The new dining menu at Runway 28 Rooftop Bar and Restaurant includes flavourful dishes using the finest locally sourced ingredients in a relaxed, stylish space.
The menu offers West Cork black pudding with Pink Lady apple and Irish apple cream, a Fisherman’s Soup with fresh fish from Wrights of Howth, in a tomato and smoked pepper broth, and St. Tola Goats Cheese mousse served with sliced beetroot and walnuts to start. Main courses include aged beef steaks from McLoughlin’s Craft Butchers, woodfire pizzas with Dingle whiskey infused salami and St. Tola’s cheese, slow cooked Wicklow lamb shoulder, and potato gnocchi with spring vegetables and the renowned Irish hard sheep’s milk cheese, Cais na Tire.
