The Woollen Mills

The Woollen Mills sits directly on the Liffey quays across from the Ha'penny Bridge, serving a broad, crowd-pleasing menu across several floors. It is less precious than its neighbour The Winding Stair and takes walk-ins more readily, making it a dependable fallback when other bookings fall through.
