blue bar and restaurant

bluebaris notorious for the wings! they smelt amazing my friend had them with the chips almost every table had wings. seems like a must go for wing lovers. being a veggie i had the thai veg curry which was really nice and it was better than some curries i have had in thai restaurants. it would be nice to see a veggie burger on the menu though! outside if it's sunny the streets are packed with people drinking outside pubs and people were out sailing. so really good vibes outside!

the bluebaris a big institution in skerries. it's always best to book a table before going! we didn't, but luckily our waiting time was short.
of course, i tried the famous buffalo wings, which were very delicious and just spicy enough. the blue cheese dip was very soft and yummy.
i ordered a side of coleslaw. i love coleslaw, so there's almost no way to get it wrong, and this one was very good.
the place is beautiful, very well decorated and with a dark, candlelight mood; super cozy. the staff is also nice.
the small platter of wings is very reasonably priced and served, you can get pretty satisfied with one.

it's quite a trek to skerries even from the northside but bluebaris worth the trip for the atmosphere alone, it's always packed especially on a sunny day. it's a fun place to head for, the views are amazing if you're lucky enough to be in a window. their famous wings are great but very heavily sauced, i think i prefer slightly lighter sauce myself!

bluebaris a lovely spot for food. it has a great location in skerries overlooking the water. i absolutely love the wings here and usually always get them but the last time i went i decided to change things up.  i got the thai beef salad and it was delicious! we arrived at lunch time and it wasn't too busy.
i would definitely recommend this spot, especially if you haven't tried their wings yet!

myself and friends went here last night celebrating a few birthdays, it wasn't anyone's first time being here. our table wasn't ready for the time it was booked for so we were left waiting but staff were very friendly. i ordered a pear mojito in the mean time - lovely. i always find blues food to be quite average and if i don't order wings i feel like i'm left sitting there staring at the menu panicking what to order instead. i went with the chicken caesar salad, it was nice. i also tried the wings and garlic bread, both delicious - it made me regret not ordering the wings. others got the burger, wings, salmon, singapore salad and a goats cheese dish. there were no complaints about the food. after the meal, we went upstairs to the lounge where it was an okay atmosphere but not too packed. thebarstaff were incredibly slow at serving and this was highly disappointing as they weren't under staffed or under too much pressure. overall, enjoyable experience but i'm not in a rush to get back.

bluebaris always consistent, the service is always great and so is the food. went here on friday night in a party of 7 and we were well looked after. the wings were wonderful as always (a must order) and everyone was happy with their mains - i had the thai red curry with prawns, the sauce was so good. the only gripe our table had was the noise, it was so loud we couldn't hear one another, but it's a good complaint for the establishment, there was great atmosphere. a great spot with a great view of the harbour.

i go to bluebara good bit as they are famous for there wings ! the atmosphere is great and the environment is lovely for an evening out with friends . the view is also fabulous .
today i got the wings for starter and then another started of squid for my main .
i am not a big fan of wings at all but the wings were lovely and they always are . the squid was also great .
the meals are slightly over priced because it is such a popular restaurant .
however the staff are very rude which is a big let down . they got our table reservation wrong and left us waiting .
they were also rude when waiting our table .
this is blue bars only let down but i will go back .

have been to the bluebarloads of times, it's so worth the visit to skerries if you are a chicken wing fanatic..!
would also recommend the chicken and ribs 🍴 i'm not crazy for seafood but heard it's amazing from here! they have a great new menu and you can now book a table ahead (it used to be just walk in) ☺️

arguably the best wings i've ever had. they were so perfect. aisling byrne and i went for the large portion between two and it was a struggle to finish them, but we persevered #firstworldproblems

we shared calamari, potato bravas, and bread served with 3 dips. everything was delicious but i couldn't justify the bread and dip again. for four very small pieces of bread and three very average dips it just wasn't worth €6. it's not a deal breaker though and everything else was so perfect that i wouldn't rate it any less than a 5.0

definitely a good first date option (as long as you avoid the wings though, he's not ready to witness that yet. save that visual treat for date number 10.)
in summary, the staff are very friendly, it has a fabulous view, and it's good value. what more could you want?!

see you soon bluebar👋🏼

finally got around to trying the infamous wings from the bluebarin skerries. myself and roisin rooney got a large portion between us and we're not ashamed to admit we are the whole giant portion - damn worth it too!

other dishes we tried were the salt and chilli squid, patatas bravas and bread w/dip. the bravas and squid were very tasty vas went down a treat with the wings. the bread and dips however were a bit of letdown, nothing special at all. this however wouldn't turn me off, i will be returning to blue and i look forward to it.

honestly cannot rate this place any higher ! bluebarhas everything you want in a casual restaurant from the views, the interior to the unbelievable menu . the food here is always good and it's obvious why this place is always packed. it's been said by many that they probably do the best wings in dublin ! many different salads, burgers and amazing desserts to choose from. but you can't go here without getting even a starter portion of the wings you won't be disappointed :)

i heard such amazing reviews of the chicken wings in bluebari had to pay a visit. 45mins drive from the city out to skerries had my appetite primed. the room was filled with lovely booths but as there were only 2 of us we were seated at a high table at thebarwhich was a bit off-putting as thebarstaff were working on top of us. after much deliberation we decided to split a portion of wings and a pulled pork sandwich but were disappointed to discover there was no pulled pork available. we ordered 2 large portions of wings on advice from the waitress but soon discovered that one large portion would have been loads for 2 hungry people, disappointing as the portions were €14 each without sides. the sides menu strangely has 3 different types of chips which aren't varied enough to be justified. we ordered 2 different types which turned out to be very small for €4/5 each and the chunky fries must have been the end of a batch as they were shrivelled and contained minimal potato. the wings themselves were deliciously messy and covered in a house sauce, not the standard franks which i liked, but they turned out to be resolutely mediocre and after 5/6 wings they became a bit of a chore, not the magical feed i was expecting. we shared a brownie for dessert which was nice but a bit dry by the time someone remembered to bring us cutlery to eat it with. i can see the appeal of bluebaras a local spot and some of the food around us looked delicious but i wouldn't go out of your way, the service was poor and the reputation of the wings as among the best in dublin is completely unwarranted.

this place has it all. bluebaris bursting with life and energy. super, great and friendly staff. all full of energy and only too willing to make your experience a good one. visited this spot on sunday afternoon with my other half. great selection of craft beers andbarstaff had great knowledge of each. lovely cocktails made to perfection. i have had wings in tribeca, canal bank cafe etc but these are by far the best i have had in ireland. tasty gambas pil pil and delicious patatas bravas. i am already planning a return visit.

i'd heard about the wings in bluebarfor a while and had been dying to try them out! happy to say they didn't disappoint- food was amazing and they had delicious deserts! place was absolutely jammers which is great that it has such a good reputation and client base!
only downside was we were waiting ages for a table. at the time they didn't take bookings but hopefully that's not the case now. would deter me from going again though- will definitely go again!

this is a mixed review! i hate to say this as i was a huge fan of bluebarfor so long but lately it's gone a bit hit or miss for me :(

service

my most recent visit was st.patricks day and granted it was very busy but a certain member of staff forgot to bring her hospitality manners to work with her! we asked if we could each pay separately for our bill as some of our party only went for one course with no alcohol but the staff were unable to help us and a friend of mine was shown a pencil and told to work it out herself! also we were overcharged for one milkshake which we only realised after we had left ;(

food
blue wings are famous! although sometimes they're not as juicy and succulent as they could be. on more than one occasion i've been served wings that taste as if they may have been reheated as the meat is a bit chewy and tough.

then again i've also enjoyed the most delicious wings ever on many occasions.

the food is generally very good and it's the perfect venue for friends nights out - cocktails are fab and you can pop up to thebarupstairs after your meal.

it's also a great spot for family sunday dinners and birthday meals with a warm cosy atmosphere.
