Hera

What started as Dorset Street gastropub Juno has had one side reinvented as Hera (Juno is now the bar to the side). A very sleek and modern refurb is the setting for a bar food menu full of things you'll want to eat, like meatballs and focaccia, deep-fried Tallegio, and one of the best value steaks in Dublin. Drinks are at a similarly high level, with great options for beer, wine and cocktails, and there's a semi-private dining room just crying out for you to bring along five of your friends.
