Recommended Pubs & Eateries
Hole in the Wall
Nestled against the wall of the Phoenix park, the Hole in the Wall combines the merits of a Dublin cosmopolitan pub with the pure fresh air of the largest enclosed park in Europe; the Phoenix Park.
Dice Bar
Dice Bar is the social place to drink and has been the beating heart of Smithfield, in Dublin since 2001.
Vintage Cocktail Bar
This refined, speakeasy-vibe bar offers candle-lit cocktails and fine-dining amid vintage ephemera.
Cassidys Bar
Cassidys has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cassidy's Bar, established in 1856, was once the home of The Freeman's Journal
P. Mac's
P.Mac's is fast becoming one of my favourite pubs in Dublin. Formerly Bia Bar, P'Macs is the newly opened sister pub to Cassidys on Westmoreland street.

Larger than it looks, this pub has a large beer garden, exhibition space and Italian pizza cafe.

Adjacent to the back door of the Gaiety Theatre, this is a favourite of stage folk and theatergoers.
