Zozimus
Ireland, Dublin, Anne St S, Dublin, Centenary House
After dinner at Shanahan’s on the Green, head down Grafton street for 5 minutes to end the evening with a cocktail at Zozimus. The atmosphere of the trendy bar is great, there is always good music playing and the vintage look reminds of the Great Gatsby era. Zozimus is best known for its variety of signature cocktails, but its selection of sparkling wines and whiskeys also will not disappoint you.
Goodman
UK, London, 3 Locations Mayfair/City/Canary Wharf
Goodman steakhouse is originally from New York before the brand expanded to its three locations in London. The London branches are designed in a similar classic chic way to the New York restaurant: dark wood, leather seating and dimmed light create a cosy atmosphere to stay a whole evening enjoying the 3-course menu. The Michelin restaurant has a great selection of beef and wine, the rib eye is a must-try.
