N0222 L Mulligan Grocer

Almost certainly the most gastro of Dublin's gastropubs; L Mulligans is located in Stoneybatter which is more generally a haven for traditional Dublin pubs. It still resembles one inside, having been one for many years, but a quick look at the food menu - or even the taps - changes that perception.

One wild boar burger and a pint of 9% Trouble Brewing Fresh Prince of Kildare later and any ideas that this is similar to nearby pubs (see next entry for one) are gone. The food menu is mostly Irish sourced and everything has a beer or whiskey pairing suggestion; and the beer selection is good and varied.

It doesn't have the market for craft pubs entirely to itself in the area - nearby N0196 The Barbers (which I tried to visit the same day, but it appears to have limited opening hours on bank holidays) would be somewhat similar;
