The Builders' Arms

You'll find The Builders' Arms doing exactly what it says on the tin—a proper neighbourhood pub where locals actually want to spend their time. Derry Street's got character, and this place leans into it: solid grilled fare, decent beer selection, and the kind of vibe where you're not paying for Instagram credentials. It's the sort of spot where you can turn up alone or with mates and feel equally at home, whether you're after a quick pint or settling in for food that doesn't mess about. The reviews speak for themselves—856 people clearly know what they're getting, and they keep coming back.
