The Little Pig Speakeasy, Dublin

You'll find yourself ducking through an unassuming doorway on Glendenning Lane—the kind of spot you'd walk past a dozen times without noticing—and suddenly you're in something genuinely intimate. The Little Pig does that whole speakeasy thing without the pretension; it's dark, candle-lit, and packed with the kind of people who actually care about what's in their glass rather than just looking the part. The cocktails are proper serious—bartenders who know their business and aren't afraid to go beyond the usual suspects. It's the sort of place you come back to because it feels like your place, not Dublin's place.
