Sure look, you spend enough weekends behind a butcher queue on Manor Street and you end up with strong opinions about where to go for the pint after. These are the ones I actually go back to, from the old-man snugs to the spots with a bit of craft on tap. Mostly Smithfield and Stoneybatter because why would I go anywhere else, in fairness.

Smithfield pints — 4 items
Name	Address	City	Vibe	Pint quality	Good for a book	My take
1The Glimmer Man	14-15 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7	Dublin	Cluttered, cosy, fire going most of the year	Solid, no complaints	Yes, the back room by the fire is made for it	This is basically my front room at this stage, paperback and all
2The Cobblestone	77 King Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7	Dublin	Trad session every night, front bar for chat	Excellent Guinness	Not a chance once the music starts, go early if you want quiet	Deadly spot but you're there for the tunes, not the TBR pile
3L Mulligan Grocer	18 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7	Dublin	Old grocery shop turned gastropub, dark wood, craft beer wall	Best craft selection on the batter	Decent during the week, bit busy weekends	Go for the beer list, stay because the food's actually great
4Walsh's	6 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7	Dublin	Classic old boozer, match days get loud	Properly good Guinness	Midweek afternoons only, forget it Sunday	A proper local, sure look what more do you want
