SOLE Seafood and Grill to Expand from 5,500 sq. foot to 11,000 sq. foot Luxury Dining Space in 2025
- Fri, 21 Feb 2025
February 18th 2025 awarded ‘Best Luxury Seafood Restaurant’ at the World Luxury Restaurant Awards for six consecutive years and sister restaurant of FIRE on Dawson Street, SOLE Seafood and Grill are set for their biggest year yet with extensive expansion plans already in motion to cater for both local and international demand. The exciting design plans will see the chic city centre restaurant and bar transform from a 5,500 sq. foot restaurant and bar to an impressive and reimagined 11,000 sq. foot destination with several enhancements to delight and inspire, masterminded by award-winning Interior Designer Graham Barrow.
SOLE Seafood and Grill encapsulates the true taste of Ireland in the heart of Dublin, offering the ultimate dining experience for any occasion. 2025 will focus on enhancing their existing offering and extending their occasion spaces with an entire private dining floor boasting two new private dining suites as well as a private bar and private dining entrance and reception.
SOLE 2025 will showcase the addition of two exquisite new private dining spaces designed for up to 12 guests and up to 40 guests, perfect for corporate gatherings, special family moments and celebrations with friends alike, from intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners and birthdays. SOLE Seafood and Grill will now present the most unique and impressive private dining experience Dublin City has to offer.
The new private dining space will offer the most opulent, exclusive, chic and luxurious space for guests to experience SOLE like never before and with its own new entrance off Drury Street, SOLE private dining will offer an extremely attractive dining experience for the many VIP and celebrity guests who have frequented the restaurant since launch.
The main restaurant at SOLE Seafood and Grill will also be extending from a 120-person to 200-person dining experience to cater for demand and guests will now be welcomed to a stunning new entrance on Drury Street which will be revealed in early 2025.
People and culture are paramount to the successes seen at SOLE Seafood and Grill over the last decade and along with the extension of the main restaurant, the opening of SOLE private dining and a stylish new Drury street entrance, the owners are also delighted to present a new state of the art kitchen and staff quarters ensuring that their staff who are the heart and soul of the business experience the most elevated and inspiring working space. The investment in SOLE will see their staff numbers rise from 55 to 75 employees and all new positions available will be promoted in early 2025.
Padraic O’Kane Co-Owner of both SOLE Seafood and Grill and FIRE restaurant comments “In 2018, we saw a gap for a top-end seafood restaurant, and SOLE was born. Today, growing demand for exceptional dining experiences has driven our expansion from 120 to 200 seats and two state-of-the-art private dining rooms – a testament to our guests’ trust and our team’s passion. It’s humbling to see SOLE evolve into a landmark seafood restaurant, celebrating the very best of dining in Dublin.”
SOLE Seafood and Grill will have temporary closures between January and March to finalise the build. All updates will be shared via the website and social media platforms for Sole Seafood and Grill.
