Review

Opium is a vast place encompassing a lounge, pan-Asian restaurant, club and garden - Dublin's answer to London's Hakkasan. However, the cocktails served in the ground floor horseshoe-shaped bar are perhaps even better than at Hakkasan - both in choice and quality.

Built in tan leather seating line the maroon drape covered and bare brick walls under a shaker-style white ceiling. There's plenty of seating around bar. It's a warm homely space.
