Part restaurant, part wine bar The Brass Monkey is offers something unique among the dining choices on Howth’s West Pier.
The small space has been transformed into a comfortable dining room with cool floor tiles and rich red walls, allowing it to be cosy by night, yet cool on summer days, when the glass front slides open to embrace the sea air. It’s a buzzy space that’s relaxed, warm and fun to dine in.

Specialising in local seafood, this Dublin Restaurants diners can also order tasty tapas like tiger prawn pil pil or smoked mackerel pate.
The menu features flashes of originality, with enticing house specialities like a Cajun salmon burger or smokies – natural smoked fish with cherry tomatoes, crème fraiche and grated cheese, and the most perfect chocolate & hazelnut brownie.
A fish platter for two, comprising three kinds of fish perfectly cooked with herb butter alongside a mound of crisp chips and house salad is the perfect dish to share for around €45.
Service is friendly and chatty – as in the best neighbourhood restaurants – and the large bar serves up favourite wines, and good coffee. Innovative promotions, like good value food & wine pairing events, and creative daily specials have established The Brass Monkey as a firm Howth favourite.
