The Wave Bar

You're walking down Ranelagh Street in the city centre and you want a pint that doesn't come with a side of guilt. The Wave Bar is tied to Green Drinks, a global network of environmentally-minded folk who actually know how to have a laugh. It's not some joyless temperance hall—this is a proper pub where sustainability runs through it like a stick of rock, but they're not boring about it. The crowd's a good mix: locals who care about what they're putting in their bodies and the planet, students, professionals ducking out of the office. Decent beer selection, straightforward pub food, reasonable prices for the location.
