The Exchange Bar & Restaurant
The Exchange Bar & Restaurant is a go-to spot for food and drinks right in the heart of Dublin, with a lively atmosphere and a contemporary feel. It works for any part of the day: an easy lunch, a dinner with a bit of buzz, or cocktails to kick off the night before heading out around town.
The offer blends modern cooking with creative cocktails, with sharing plates and heartier options in a setting that naturally picks up as the evening goes on. At weekends, the experience is rounded off with live music and DJ sessions – ideal if you want the night to start without moving on.
If you already know the plan, book your table in seconds – or take a quick look at the menus first.
Menus
Seasonal. Local. Bold by design. The Exchange menu shifts with the seasons, built around top Irish ingredients and lifted with flavours from further afield. Expect smoky, fire-style plates, bright spice, and aromatic twists – each dish with its own story.

All-day dining and cocktails in the heart of Temple Bar

Live music and DJ
As the evening sets in, The Exchange turns up the energy. On Fridays and Saturdays, you’ll find DJ sets and live music from 8pm until late, and on the last Thursday of every month the space shifts into live jazz.
It’s the kind of atmosphere where you can dine, raise a glass and keep the night going without moving on.
Book your table to lock in a spot – especially at weekends.
