Sure look, I'm meant to be reading more and drinking less, but this is the list that actually gets updated. These are the spots within stumbling distance of Smithfield and Stoneybatter where I land after a Manor Street butcher run or a long week fixing fellas' bad backs. No cocktail menus with twelve ingredients here, just decent pints, a stool by the fire, and nobody bothering you with your book.

Pints I keep going back to — 3 items
Name	Address	City	Best For	Atmosphere	My take
1The Glimmer Man	14 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7	Dublin	A quiet pint and a paperback by the fire	Cluttered, cosy, candle wax everywhere, snug little nooks	My actual local. Deadly fire, deadly staff, nobody minds you reading in the corner for three hours
2The Cobblestone	77 King Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7	Dublin	Trad sessions, proper ones, not for tourists	Packed front bar, musicians in the corner, no stage needed	Two minutes from my own front door and still the best craic in Smithfield of an evening
3Walsh's	6 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7	Dublin	A no-nonsense local pint after a long shift	Classic old boozer, regulars at the bar, telly in the corner	Sure look, sometimes you just want a plain pint and no fuss, this is that pub
