The Green Room Bar

You'll find yourself in one of those rare docklands spots that actually feels like a neighbourhood pub rather than a sterile corporate afterthought. The Green Room sits on North Wall Avenue, serving the growing residential crowd around here with the kind of straightforward hospitality that's become harder to find as Dublin gets more expensive and precious. The menu does the classics well without trying to reinvent the wheel – think proper fish and chips, decent burgers, and Sunday roasts that'll sort you right out. The pint's grand, the staff are sound, and there's enough space that you're not fighting for elbow room like you would be in Temple Bar. It's the kind of place where you can actually have a conversation without shouting over tourists taking selfies.
