Just one year after opening its doors in Castletroy, tapas restaurant ACES is already on the rise with exciting new developments.
On Friday, November 22, the restaurant has unveiled its newest addition: the Velvet Room. This space is designed to offer late-night drinks, host special events, and showcase live music.
Since opening, ACES has quickly become a hidden gem within the Castletroy area, known for its intimate atmosphere for date nights, dinner with friends, or special occasions. The restaurant specializes in sharing small plates and a diverse cocktail menu.
Brothers Constantine and Aaron Doherty, the brains behind the business, shared their journey and vision. “We designed it, planned it, and brought it to life,” says Constantine Doherty. “We opened in November 2023, and it’s been going very well,” he adds.
According to him, word-of-mouth has been the key to their success. “Once we had that established, it just snowballed,” he explains.
When asked about working alongside his brother, Constantine Doherty spoke candidly about their strong partnership. “We can be very blunt with each other. About 90% of the time, we’re in agreement, but the other 10%… we’re poles apart,” he says, showing the dynamic of their collaborative approach.
