The Bath Pub

You'll find yourself gravitating towards this Sandymount corner pub more often than you'd planned. The kind of place where the barman knows your usual after three visits and the Sunday roast draws queues of families who've made it their weekly ritual. The beer garden is where you want to be on any remotely decent day – it catches the afternoon sun beautifully and feels worlds away from the city centre madness. The crowd is a proper mix of young professionals from the surrounding flats and longtime locals who've been propping up the bar since before the area got trendy. Food is hearty pub grub done right, with their roast beef on Sundays being particularly sound. It's the sort of pub that makes you understand why people move to Dublin 4 and never leave.
