Fidelity Bar & Studio

You'll find this sleek operation tucked away on Queen Street, where the industrial bones of old Smithfield meet proper cocktail craft. The space feels deliberately understated – exposed brick, clean lines, and that warehouse-to-bar conversion done right without trying too hard about it. The drinks menu is where Fidelity earns its stripes. These aren't your Temple Bar tourist traps; the bartenders actually know their way around a shaker and aren't afraid to play with house-made syrups and seasonal ingredients. Expect to pay around €12-14 for cocktails that justify the price tag. The wine list runs decent too, with enough natural options to keep the Stoneybatter crowd happy. It's the sort of place that draws industry folk after their shifts – always a good sign in this city.
