Cleaver East
About
Cleaver East is a contemporary restaurant tucked inside Dublin’s iconic Temple Bar, blending a sophisticated global menu with a lively, jazz‑filled interior reminiscent of a modern European bistro. Known for its inventive dishes—like smoked fillet, fresh Atlantic cod, and bold vegetarian options—it offers a curated wine list and award‑winning cocktails that keep the bar buzzing. The restaurant has built a reputation as the venue for Dublin’s famed weekend Bottomless Brunch Club, serving endless cocktails from 11:00 to 16:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, and the “Bottomless Cocktail Dinner” that keeps the bar lively from 17:00 to 21:30 nightly. However, Cleaver East will close its doors permanently on Sunday, 3 August 2025 following the reconfiguration of The Clarence Hotel. The final weeks promise a nostalgic farewell, with the Bottomless Brunch Club moving to sister venue Beef & Lobster Temple Bar. For anyone still wishing to experience the city’s best contemporary dining, a reservation should be made before the closure date, as the restaurant is set to cease operations after 12 years of serving Dublin’s food scene.
