The Dubliner Food and Ale - New York

Delicious cocktails and potions! Super friendly team. Really fun atmosphere. This is a fantastic spot for fans of magical, witchcraft atmospheres and inventive drinks. The potion-making experience was a birthday gift, and while I was told that the price was on the higher side, the entire experience was definitely worth it. For the potion-making, you will need to reserve ahead. It’s a lot of fun, especially if you love thriving in your wizard/witch element as you concoct tasty cocktails.

The whole experienced was worth, service was great, food and drinks amazing, the best place in the city if you want to visit a wizard theme restaurant. A lot interaction with the staff, great place for a birthday celebration or company out. I highly recommended.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! NEVY WAS THE GREATEST ADDITION TO OUR EXPERIENCE AND MADE IT SO MAGICAL FOR OUR FIRST TIME!! GIRL DESERVES A RAISE!!!!

Did the holiday potion brewing session with my friend and we had a blast. It was expensive, but you get a decent number of drinks for the price, it has awesome ambience and decoration with the added bonus of a fun and memorable experience. We paid $75 each and we 're guaranteed 4 drinks (1 welcome prosecco, 1 candy cane shot, and 2 brewed cocktails). Ultimately, we received 5! They offered sparkling cider as a replacement for the welcome prosecco if you don 't want to overdo it on booze or not partaking, which is what I opted for. Once they bring you upstairs to your table, they gather you up to cast a spell and pour a drink yourself either a hard cider, mocktail mixer, or house sangria (this was the extra drink). I got the hard cider (pretty standard down east) and my friend got the sangria, which was not great honestly. Next, you choose your 2 cocktails from a set list of 4 options. 2 of them were rum based, 1 was vodka, and 1 was whiskey. There is no swapping jngredients, aside from making it a mock tail version. Your party must agree on the options you choose, so if you all have varying tastes this may be difficult. We did not realize there would be so few options, so we didn 't consider that there may not be any tequila or gin, our normal preferences. So we went with the vodka option, since it seemed most neutral. We asked our potion master which pption he would recommend based on fun and flare and he suggested the whiskey based cocktail, which we swapped out to be a mocktail instead. Both drinks were involved enough to be fun and engaging, but short enough not to lose interest. I honestly liked our mocktail the best! The candy cane shot was served in an adorable little glass and looked so fun, and was actually pretty good! The ambience was so fun. It definitely felt like you wandered into a pub in hogsmeade or something. Perhaps a tiny bit kitschy and campy, but worth it for the nostalgia of Harry Potter. Overall, I highly recommend, even if you are not a huge fan of cocktails or dont want to drink, if you can sub out one to be a mocktail, it 's still worth it!

Griffith was an outstanding potent master! Very warm, friendly, and worked to make our experience really fun and unique. I was skeptical but this was a unique experience that was worth the visit!
