A neighbourhood wine & cocktail bar
We are delighted to bring you All Apologies - a space where everyone will be given a warm welcome, where you can shake off your stress and maybe even misbehave a little. Whether that means a spritz on the balcony while taking in those breathtaking views overlooking Kinsale Marina; or sinking into a seat in our wine bar while enjoying a glass of wine (or two!) from our rotating list; or sampling exceptional seasonal cocktails in our buzzing cocktail bar. All of this coupled with some delicious small plates showcasing the best of local produce and you might even find yourself on our post-dinner dancefloor by the end of the night.
Just know this: We’ve got you covered.
All we ask is that you leave your “apologies” at the door.
Charlie & Bren
We met working in restaurants opposite one another in Grand Canal Square and got to know each other over far too many drinks! We share a love for this industry and we believe there’s a special magic in the connections and conversations that are made possible in these spaces. We have had the good fortune to work in some exceptional establishments over the years, both home and abroad, and are eager to deliver the same level of care, positivity, creativity and enthusiasm as was curated in all of those wonderful venues.
We are always in search of new and exciting experiences, whether that be food, drink, music or travel. Travel is everything and we never need any encouragement to hop on a plane. We always have tunes on everywhere we go and you can bet that music will be a cornerstone of All Apologies, too.
We love to host and to party, so opening a venue together was a “no-brainer”. All Apologies is a combination of our best nights out and the incredible venues we have worked in across the world, all wrapped up in years of blood, sweat and tears. We want you to feel the same welcome here as you would when stepping into our home… for us, it’s personal.
We look forward to welcoming you - just remember to leave your apologies at the door.
“Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.”
– Anthony Bourdain
