BelloBar

You'll find yourself tucked into one of Dublin's better-kept corners, right on Portobello Harbour where the Grand Canal does its thing. BelloBar isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a proper spot to catch live music without the pretention of some of the swankier venues round the Quays. The crowd here is genuinely there for the tunes, not the Instagram moment. Pull up a stool, order your pint (expect to spend around £5-6), and settle in for the evening. The space has that lived-in feeling of somewhere locals actually choose, week after week.
