We are delighted to announce that NoLIta has been shortlisted for 4 awards across bar and nightlife categories in the Bar of the Year Awards, one of Ireland’s most respected hospitality awards.

Our Shortlisted Categories

City Bar Of The Year

Situated at the very heart of Dublin’s nightlife scene on South Great George’s Street, we have a reputation for combining premium drinks, dining, music experiences, immersive design, and exceptional service into one cohesive destination that consistently delivers quality nights out.

At its core, NoLIta is defined by its ability to create and sustain an unbeatable energy and atmosphere. With our brand-focused motto being “let the good times roll”, we take pride in delivering exceptional nightlife as well as premium bespoke experiences in the heart of the city.

Best Wine Bar

We elevate the modern wine bar concept, pairing an exceptional wine selection with an immersive, experience-led environment. Our carefully selected wine list reflects both international standards and evolving customer tastes, ensuring consistency across every bottle.

Guests can expect a range that caters to both casual wine drinkers and more discerning customers, spanning popular varieties to premium bottles suited to celebratory occasions. We take pride in being able to recommend and pair bottles for every customer whether it is pizza with friends or a 25th anniversary, we have something for everyone.

Late Bar/ Nightclub Of The Year

In the heart of Dublin’s nightlife scene, NoLIta has established itself as a benchmark for what a club experience should be.

With a range of experimental party brunches, late-night events and resident DJs to match our clientele each night, we don’t just host nights out, we create them. We elevate the live music experience in the heart of the city with our New York prohibition jazz experience centered around our late-night Sax Appeal events with live drums and sax players two nights a week.

Cocktail Bar of The Year

Our cocktail menu isn’t just a list of drinks, it’s an embodiment of stories written in conversation and laughter. Our cocktails reflect the Prohibition era, where basements came alive after dark.

Each drink draws from a time when cities moved in secret, and every pour carried a sense of risk. This is more than a menu. It’s a celebration of connection, indulgence, and the quiet magic of finding yourself in the right place at the right time.

So lean in close, let the night unfold, and join us in the pursuit of good times

Thank you

We wouldn’t be where we are today without the incredible people behind the brand. To our guests, thank you for being a part of the NoLIta journey and making every single day at our venue as great as it is.

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised alongside so many outstanding venues and look forward to celebrating the industry together.
