Stella Cocktail Club

Stella Cocktail Club occupies the mezzanine above Stella Cinema on Rathmines Main Street, giving the venue a strong connection with film while also working as a destination for drinks and food. The cocktail club has an intimate, evening-focused atmosphere, with a full drinks menu and a food offering built around light bites and cinema favourites.

The room retains the character of a former 1920s ballroom and has been restored in an Art Deco style. Original features include a large front-facing window overlooking Rathmines Main Street and a spring-loaded floor associated with the building’s earlier dancefloor. These details give the bar a sense of period character without separating it from the activity of the cinema below.

Cocktails take inspiration from films shown on the cinema’s screens. The menu includes original serves made with a focus on craft and homemade ingredients, alongside a wider selection of drinks for guests seeking something other than a cocktail. The approach suits a pre-film drink, a post-screening stop or an evening centred entirely on the bar.

Food is available alongside the drinks, with small plates and familiar cinema-style options designed for relaxed sharing or casual eating. The combination of cocktails, snacks and film-related details makes the venue suitable for an evening that moves between Rathmines dining, cinema and drinks without requiring a formal restaurant setting.

For County Clare travellers spending time in Dublin, Stella Cocktail Club offers a distinctly Rathmines setting with a theatrical connection and a carefully preserved interior. The club suits adults looking for an atmospheric bar for conversation, a date, a cinema-linked outing or a small gathering. Table reservations are recommended, while access is through stairs because of the protected nature of the building.
