Dockers

You're sitting right on Sir John Rogerson's Quay with a perfect view of the Liffey and the Samuel Beckett Bridge stretching out before you. The outdoor seating here is absolutely class when the weather's decent – you can watch the boats drift by while nursing a pint of Guinness that actually tastes how it should. The crowd is a lovely mix of tech workers from the Docklands offices and locals who've been coming here since before the area got all fancy. Inside, it's got that proper Dublin pub feel without trying too hard – dark wood, decent taps, and bar staff who know what they're about. The food is solid pub grub that won't break the bank, and they do a cracking Sunday roast. It's one of those spots where you can settle in for a few hours without anyone bothering you, whether you're watching the match or just having the chats.
