The Merchant Irish Bar

Head down to Eastborough and you'll find The Merchant doing what Irish bars do best—making you feel like a regular within five minutes. It's the kind of place where the bartenders remember your name, the Guinness is poured with actual care, and there's always someone playing guitar in the corner or a match on the screens. You'll get a genuine mix of locals and visitors here, all united by decent drinks and better company. It's unpretentious in the way that matters.
