What this pub offers
Nearby pubs
The Wren's Nest
Established in 1588, the Wren's Nest is one of the oldest pubs in the Dublin area. Set on the Strawberry Beds along the Liffey, it has hosted everyone from Mick Jagger to Julia Roberts. The beer garden overlooking the river is one of Dublin's best-kept secrets.
The Carpenter
A popular local gastropub in Carpenterstown with a strong community following. The Carpenter delivers on food, drink and atmosphere in equal measure, and the beer garden is a much-appreciated amenity in a part of Dublin not overly blessed with pub options.
The Beaumont House
A sizeable Northside pub that does double duty as a neighbourhood local and a proper gastro spot. The Beaumont House serves reliable pub grub alongside well-pulled pints, and the beer garden catches some surprising afternoon sun.
The Bloody Stream
Tucked right underneath Howth DART station, The Bloody Stream won Best Outdoor Space in Dublin at the Irish Pub Awards 2024. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is lively, and the location could not be more convenient for a post-cliff-walk pint.
