Fish Shop

You'll find this compact wine bar tucked into Benburb Street, where the Smithfield crowd knows to book ahead for good reason. The space feels properly intimate without being cramped, and the team behind the bar genuinely knows their stuff when it comes to natural wines and clever food pairings. The menu changes regularly but expect smart small plates that actually complement rather than compete with the wine list. Think seasonal Irish ingredients done with a light touch and zero pretension. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between buzzy and relaxed – you can settle in for a proper session or pop by for a quick glass and bite. It's the kind of place that makes you feel smug about living in this part of town.
