F.X. Buckley’s coastal room, in Monkstown village on the DART line between Blackrock and Dun Laoghaire. Steak and seafood share the menu in equal measure – oysters shucked at the bar, surf ‘n’ turf, lobster thermidor – alongside the same dry-aged Buckley steaks served at the group’s city-centre rooms. Frank’s Bar, a cocktail lounge upstairs, runs under the same roof.
