    No. 27 The Shelbourne Bar

    Mansion House B, Dublin

    Bar in Dublin, Ireland

    Why go

    No. 27 The Shelbourne Bar is worth choosing when the setting matters: classic hotel polish, a lively room, smart-casual ease, a location by St Stephen’s Green. It is less compelling for drinkers looking for a documented specialist cocktail or spirits program, but strong for a first Dublin hotel-bar stop, celebration drink, or pre-event meet-up.

    About No. 27 The Shelbourne Bar

    No. 27 The Shelbourne Bar is a Dublin bar with a price point of $60 per person and a smart casual dress code. The confirmed details are limited, so the safest way to plan is around the practical facts rather than claims about cuisine, service style, awards, entertainment, or a named drinks programme.

    Its opening hours make it a flexible option across the week: Monday and Tuesday from 10 AM to 11:30 PM, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 12:30 AM, Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 1:30 AM, Sunday from 12 PM to 11 PM. For broader planning around the city, the Dublin bars guide and Dublin hotels guide can help compare other Dublin options.

    A practical Dublin bar choice with late hours

    The main confirmed appeal is practical: No. 27 The Shelbourne Bar has long opening hours on several nights of the week and a clear smart casual dress code. That makes it easier to plan for an evening visit, a later stop, or a meet-up when timing matters.

    Because no specific food menu, cocktail focus, entertainment schedule, awards, seating format, or service model is here, expectations should stay general. Choose it if the confirmed price, hours, Dublin location, smart casual standard fit your plans; look elsewhere if you need a venue selected for a specific cuisine, tasting format, or documented drinks specialty.

    Who should choose this room

    This is a reasonable fit for someone who wants a Dublin bar option with a $60-per-person price point and late opening on Wednesday through Saturday. It may also suit plans where smart casual dress is welcome and the group wants a direct bar stop rather than a venue chosen for a specific programme.

    The value case depends on whether those practical details match the occasion. At $60 per person, it works best as a planned bar stop rather than an unknown bargain choice. For dinner before or after, use the Dublin restaurants guide; for add-on plans, compare other Dublin options before building the full evening around one venue.

    Quick read: choose it for a Dublin bar with late hours, a smart casual dress code, a $60-per-person price point; skip it if you need confirmed details on cuisine, awards, entertainment, or a specialist drinks programme.

    How it compares in Dublin

    The Lord Mayor's Lounge is the closer comparison if the priority is a refined hotel setting. Pick No. 27 The Shelbourne Bar when a bar-room drink is the goal; choose The Lord Mayor's Lounge when the occasion calls for a lounge format and a slower, more formal pace.

    O'Donoghues Bar is the better fit for visitors who want Dublin pub energy rather than hotel polish. Ely Wine Bar makes more sense when wine is the point of the evening. No. 27 is the safer middle ground for a central, composed drink where the room matters more than category depth.

    Peruke & Periwig is the stronger pick for a more cocktail-led night, while Drawing Rooms sits nearer the polished hotel-lounge lane. If booking ease and a St Stephen's Green address matter, No. 27 is practical; if the drink program is the main reason to go out, cross-shop first.
