Artichoke Gastropub

You'll find Artichoke tucked away on Clare Street, in that part of town where things actually feel like they're happening. It's the kind of place where the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing — the sort of gastropub that's moved on from tired pub fare and actually cares about what lands on your plate. The vibe is unpretentious but confident: locals perched at the bar, couples at proper tables, groups of mates who've clearly made this a regular thing. It's got warmth without being try-hard, the kind of neighbourhood spot that makes you wonder why you haven't been in sooner.
