L. Mulligan Grocer

You'll find L. Mulligan Grocer occupying a charming corner spot on Stoneybatter's main drag, where the old neighbourhood charm meets serious culinary ambition. The team here has mastered the art of elevating Irish ingredients without any unnecessary fuss – think house-made black pudding with apple and hazelnuts, or their legendary beef cheek that falls apart at the touch of a fork. The craft beer selection is genuinely impressive, featuring both local breweries and carefully chosen international bottles that pair brilliantly with their seasonal menu. Service strikes that perfect balance between knowledgeable and unpretentious, and the atmosphere manages to feel both neighbourhood-friendly and special enough for a proper night out. Book ahead, especially for weekend dinners.
