About Frank Mac's

Tucked behind heritage sandstone in The Rocks, Frank Mac’s pairs an ambitious gin cellar with the warmth of a classic Dublin snug. The subterranean lounge unfolds into vintage booths and a working fireplace, where patrons settle in over classic Manhattans and hearty pies. Live fiddles and acoustic folk bands frequently strike up downstairs, soundtracking a library of over 100 global gins.

  • Extensive Gin Library: Features over 100 bottles from across the globe alongside guided tasting sessions led by knowledgeable bartenders.
  • Sandstone Cellar Lounge: Set in a historic building with private parlour spaces, vintage leather seating, and a working fireplace.
  • Live Irish Folk Music: Downstairs cellar hosting regular acoustic folk sessions and fiddle performances.

  • Carefree Bottomless Social Packages

    A seamless, prepaid feast with attentive drink top-ups and abundant antipasto platters designed for easy group hosting.

    Always great not to think about what to order for food or drinks. It all just came and because it was all pre-paid not having to worry about the bill at the end.

  • Live Irish Folk & Acoustic Music

    Traditional folk bands, live fiddles, and lively Sunday sets bring infectious Irish tavern cheer straight into the cellar.

    the whole place was buzzing with live music from Katie and Fionnuala singing and performing with a fiddle and key board.

  • Subterranean Heritage Sandstone Cellar

    Sip masterfully crafted cocktails in a restored heritage building featuring intimate leather booths and glowing sandstone fireplaces.

    The downstairs area has a beautiful fire place and surrounded by sandstone.

  • Warmth of Walking into a Friend's Home

    Hospitality that wraps around you immediately, turning first-time visits into comfortable, familiar neighborhood rituals.

    When you walk in it feels like walking in the door of your friends house. It’s so welcoming.

  • Moody Old-World Sanctuary

    Escape the city rush into vintage velvet corners, cozy booths, and vintage charm tailor-made for intimate date nights.

    it rlly nails the moody, old world vibe with a killer gin selection and solid cocktails. Great for date nights or a quiet catchup.

  • Gin Masterclass

    I recently experienced the Gin Masterclass with Alex. Even though I have done a couple of gin masterclasses before, Alex showed me Gins I had never tried (Gin Mare was my favourite closely followed by Haymans Sloe Gin) … It was so much fun **a must for any Gin lover** … I cannot think of a better way to spend the afternoon!
