Ruby's Pizza & Grill Point Square

You're walking across the Samuel Beckett Bridge after a gig at the 3Arena, stomach rumbling, and thank God Ruby's is still open. This Point Village spot gets the basics absolutely right – proper wood-fired pizzas with decent toppings, not the sad affairs you'd expect near a major venue. The pepperoni has just enough grease to soak up whatever you've been drinking, and their garlic bread could resurrect the dead. The bar side of things holds up well too, with a solid selection of craft beers alongside the usual suspects. It's nothing fancy – think stripped-back industrial vibes with communal tables – but the staff are sound and the atmosphere buzzes when there's something on at the arena. Fair warning: it gets absolutely mental on concert nights, so book ahead or prepare to queue with every other punter who had the same brilliant idea.
