Blue Bar

As my girlfriend love the wings at least once a month she twists my arm to go to Blue, so today was one of them days we went over and went for dinner, as I’ve sampled most of the menu apart from the fish just not my thing but each to their own, I haven’t had the wing in a while so I went for them with a side of fries and the blue cheese sauce. The food that they serve is top I’ve never left the place saying that the food wasn’t nice or their was something wrong with the food we are alway satisfied with our meal. The place is always clean and warm with a nice vibe about it for a meal. Now that aside the reason I took away two stars is firstly the staff are not what you would call friendly or do they attempt to be I could go on about them but I’ll sto their. Secondly we were seated at the table that is at the bar, tables that they squeezed right up against the bar, not the biggest table by any stretch of the imagination only for we took everything off the table and put it on the bar beside us we would have had to put our food on our laps, their was bigger tables that were empty and stayed empty till we left that we could have been seated at. But sitting beside the bar you get to hear the staff chat about the people that they are serving and how much of a pain they are. As I said at the start we go over at least once a month and the food is great but the staff lets the place down even when ur paying it seams like an inconvenience to them. Really only for the girlfriend loves the wing so much I wouldn’t be in to much of a rush to go back.

I brought two of my tourist friends here for lunch. We originally wanted to go to stoop your head next door but it was too full so decided on blue bar because of the good reviews. How we were dissapointed!!! The bar itself is very cool. The décor is great and it has a wonderful atmosphere but that is where it ends. The staff were friendly but very slow to come and take our order. The food was ridiculously over prices for a bar. We got the seafood platter and calamari. The platter was very small with not much of selection. The lobster was delicious but the crab was doused in Mayo so you couldn’t even taste the meat. My friend got the burger which was dry and over cooked. All in all I won’t be back. The food was okay but no way near the quality it should have been for the price they charged.

Love everything about blue. Setting on the seafront, to die for chicken wings. Be careful tho the large portion is huge. Between two it’s even big!!! Burgers are yum. Can b very busy during summer months. Be prepared to give ur name and sit at bar or grab a drink and go outside onto harbour. Cocktail menu is nice too.

Outstanding food great service and a fantastic atmosphere. The best ribs I have ever had.

From the minute we arrived it was a fantastic quirky place to be & very busy. Service was excellent & to top it off food was superb definetly be back :-)

Great service and even better food. Not much needs to be said, best chicken wings in Dublin. Went on a Sunday afternoon and expected to be waiting like you would in elephant and castle, but were given a table straight away. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Blue Bar in the sun or rain is the perfect spot. Staff are awesome. The place is so busy but it’s tab so well. I have no complaint on this place. The for is varied, seasonal and perfectly presented.
Great selection of beverages. And I love the local touch with the water bring used too print rnli

Service was ok, staff was not the best trained. The food was forgettable, not the best value.
I ordered the chowder, and my boyfriend the ribs. the chowder was served with those bowls with the wide border, by a young lad that tipped it over to his thumb. When he placed the soup down, I can see the soup go back to the bowl, having had touched his thumb. Not the best prequel to a meal…
The BBQ ribs were very tender but the sauce was very odd tasting. I can tell they were trying to do a kind of chinese style sauce, but it was way too sweet and runny. definitely not BBQ style!
I probably won’t be back, but the atmosphere was nice. Its ashame, because it’s hard to find a place with good ambience like this but to be offset by the service of the staff and the quality and value of the food.

Fantastic bar and restaurant with stunning views across the harbour. The bar and restaurant staff are very friendly and professional, this is a great spot for a drink or food or better still both !
The décor is warm and beach style, really nice.
The menu is perfect, with a great selection — the hard part is deciding what to have… we will be back and would encourage you to try it too.

The one and only beautiful Blue Bar. Probably the best wings in all of Ireland. Yes, even better than Elephant and Castle. You can quote me on that.
I decided to treat my husband to a wonderful sunny Sunday out in Skerries. One of the real reasons I wanted to go was to deal with my hankering for some decent wings. As the weather was so stunning, I fully expected to be waiting a while for my table. Not so! The waiter very quickly seated us in a lovely dark booth at the back of the restaurant.
We didn’t even need to look at the menu. Two portions of wings each, please. Extra blue cheese dip and one garlic dip also. I was quite optimistic. While the price might seem a bit steep to others — 14e a portion, it is a huge portion. I only managed to get through about one third of mine. One to share would have been plenty, but alas my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
My husband opted for an old fashioned, being the classy gentleman that he is. He said it was brilliantly done and had no complaints.
Staff are friendly and efficient. I have been here on very busy days and I can say the staff are just as friendly when they are busy. Excellent service, very quick. Excellent food. Just 100% excellent all round.
It’s not a 5* wow experience, but to be honest I can’t even think what could be done to improve the experience. I guess I reserve my fifth star for that really special something.

Have been so many times, and it is worth the hype. Love, love, love the wings and cannot recommend them enough! The drunken chicken noodles are excellent and I have yet to have a bad burger from Blue! Be prepared to wait for a table as it is such a popular spot.

I’ve been to Blue Bar on numerous occasions and the food has never let us down truth be told.
The only downside about the place is its so popular! It can be so busy on a weekend night.
On our latest visit we had the Ploughmans Sharing Platter as a snack. I might agree with Rachel L and say it’s not really enough for two people, but then again it’s a sharing starter from what we could tell from the menu. It could do with more bread and less smoked cheese. Maybe some cheddar? it is a ploughmans after all. Apart from that it was very good. We only wanted a small snack, so it was perfect.
Another thing, I liked their water. 1 EUR for a glass per person, but refills are free. This include sparkling water.

If you’re a fan of chicken wings, you’ve got to come here. Although in Blue Bar, they’re called buffalo wings. I asked my date what the difference is between chicken and buffalo wings. He hesitated before saying: «You know buffalos don’t have wings, right?» I know I’m blonde but I’m no Jessica Simpson, thank you very much.
Having cleared that up, I ordered the junior portion which is almost as big as the grown-​up one. Then, I had to stop caring about making a mess and simply enjoy this delicious dish.
P. S. Google has since informed me that buffalo wings were first created in Buffalo, New York. Also, check out this short clip showing you how to eat chicken wings. Properly.
You’re welcome.

Sitting right on the harbour in Skerries, looking out on the boats and the water, Blue is on to a winner from the off with respect to location.
We were here twice in the same night: once for food, and then later we were back post-​gig for beers.
There’s a bustling restaurant wrapped around the large central bar downstairs, and an upstairs bar then becomes more clubby, with DJs, tunes and shaking and grooving as the night goes on.
Food was great. Manu has quite a wide selection, apparently the burgers are excellent, as are the hot chicken wings (served Elephant And Castle style). We skipped all that though and went for a selection of their starters and their sharing plates which you can eat tapas stye. Great prawns (we had both types — gambas and sizzling), a very creditable caesar salad, patatas bravas, and a lovely mezze sharing plate with hummus, olives, etc was all very good, and pretty well priced. Staff are great, place is buzzy and clearly a local institution, and all in all makes for a great atmosphere and a nice place to «hang».
Later that night we were back — this time just for beers. Upstairs are getting in to swing when we arrived: DJ-​powered music selection that ticked all the boxes for the locals, good beer selection, and nice ambience.
I’d highly recommend it if you’re anywhere near Skerries — or even consider it as part of a weekend trip or drive. Afterwards you can take a stroll on the beach or around the harbour.
