It’s where I sipped my first ‘real’ cocktail, ate my first sushi and had my first (ok, only) Robbie Williams sighting – oh, the glamour! Though it was the first of
its kind, a million copies soon followed and over the years we lost sight of
the fact that the Morrison was the original and had blazed the trail.

Clockwise from top left: Quay 14 Bloody Mary, Dark n Stormy, Up On That Hill, Drunken Sailor mojito, Whiskey In The Jar, bar snacks including deep fried olives (nom), Final Straw. Hic! |
Favourites are hard to choose, but
with lapsang-infused gin, a touch of beetroot and pomegranate along with the
usual ingredients, the Quay 14 Bloody Mary is a work of art. Brunch and one of
these babies are what Sunday afternoons were made for.
I can also recommend the fruity, spicy Up On That Hill - with Highland Scotch, sloe gin, ginger, lemon and rhubarb bitters – and Final Straw, which is made with bison grass vodka, vermouth, pressed apple juice and prosecco. Delish!
Considering the plush surroundings and the care with which they’re crafted, the cocktails aren’t exorbitantly priced either, with most
around the €9.50/€10 mark and weekly specials a snip at €7. Thumbs up for the food menu, too – Quay 14 offers a
selection of sharing platters and bar classics, while The Morrison Grill serves up more sophisticated fare. I can also recommend the fruity, spicy Up On That Hill - with Highland Scotch, sloe gin, ginger, lemon and rhubarb bitters – and Final Straw, which is made with bison grass vodka, vermouth, pressed apple juice and prosecco. Delish!
You’ll find the Morrison on Lower Ormond Quay, Dublin 1 - check out www.quay14.com for more. What do you reckon, fancy meeting me there? Maybe you've already stopped by?

I used to hang out in the Morrison yonks ago, your after reminding me of how much I liked it, I may have to slip in for a cheeky cocktail soon
Well you've sold it to me Emma.
I love cocktails too, but only if they are done perfectly. I hate it when regular bars throw together a cocktail menu and then throw them together without much thought either.
Also, craving a dark and stormy now...
I used to love the Morrison back in the day as well! Didn't even know it had been renovated, I must pop in for a look (and a cheeky cocktail)

I would murder a cocktail right now! These look so yummy! I walk past the Morrison all the time on the way to the cinema and I love how they've done it up, from looking through the windows anyway, it looks gorgeous, must pop in some time for a sneaky cocktail!
