AKA, Dublin

AKA's menu has an international feel with a slight Asian emphasis. The crowd ranges from mid-twenties to late thirties and tend to be respectably dressed. On entry you are faced with a vertiginous drop as though the ground floor has been removed. If you go downstairs, you will find a well-stocked bar in a room with an underwater feel, due to clever lighting and aquamarine colour. The main dining room is brighter but equally pleasant. There is also a carpeted alcove, which affords a certain amount of privacy. They advertise service from noon–3p but you can often get food late into the night. The bar is worth a visit and DJs play easy-listening sounds.
