Zitas

Zita's Smokehouse is an independently owned American-style restaurant and bar at the Old Malthouse on Bartholomew Street East, a distinctive venue in the St David's area with exposed wooden beams, neon signs and American memorabilia creating a relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen uses fresh, seasonal and local produce for handcrafted burgers, smoky chicken and blackened fish dishes. Local artists' work is displayed on the walls, giving the room a distinct character. On Quandoo it holds a 4.7 rating from nearly forty reviews. The site has a long restaurant history — previously home to Gino's and Nico's before becoming Zita's — and the bar, with its herb garden and outdoor lights, makes it as much a drinks destination as a food one.
