The new Dublin spot is the first brick and mortar venture for Kool Daddy’s, which began as an offshoot of Tasteful Ventures catering in early 2018 after customers voiced a massive demand for their barbecue menu items.

Kool Daddy’s is open Tuesday through Thursday, from 11:30 a.m. until 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Monday.
