Irish celebs and influencers attend launch of stylish new Dublin city centre bar

Dublin's brand new slick bar, Tapped, had its official launch last night and in attendance were some of the biggest names from Irish television and popular internet personalities.

Guests were greeted at the door with a complimentary glass of rosé before enjoying epic throwback tunes from Billy Bunzari and the wide range of drinks on offer at the new bar. The stunning interior of Tapped was gorgeously complimented by a slew of stylish Irish celebs and influencers.

Big names there included presenter Karen Koster, Martin King and Sean Munsanje. There was also podcasters PJ Kirby and Paddy Smyth, influencers Louise Cooney, James Kavanagh and Holly Carpenter, Olympians Ellen Keane, Jordan Conroy and Harry McNulty and TikTok sensations Eric Roberts and Lauren Whelan.

The slick new Nassau Street bar, which also has a Grafton Street entrance, was previously Porterhouse Central. Tapped offers visitors Ireland's largest number of taps on site, which are served along a huge 15-metre bar.

The venue specialises in local and international craft beer, organic and sustainable wine, and their very own kegged cocktails on tap. Perhaps the most notable quirk in this new Dublin nightlife spot is that all beers, wines and cocktails are served on tap.

Some of the biggest names in Irish entertainment were invited by Rob Kenny PR. Those in attendance enjoyed unreal tunes along with an electric violinist.

The new bar has also partnered with Dublin Pizza Company to bring punters a delicious food offering and will regularly host some of Dublin’s best DJ’s. The food menu also includes LA style smashed burgers, wings, sandwiches and salads.

The brand new Dublin pub has been brought to us by Porterhouse Brewery and Dingle Distillery, who have spent the last couple of years coming up with a unique concept that appeals to as many people as possible. While the beers and cocktails on tap are set to be a major attraction to Tapped, the unique decor is sure to be another draw for thirsty Dubs.

Wood, concrete and steel make up the vast majority of the venue's interiors. Meanwhile Italian glass bricks are used to create the bespoke countertops. Tapped is from noon Monday to Friday and 11am Saturday and Sunday until late.
