Pub with good food and atmosphere The "Best of the Best" - Only the very best establishments across various categories have been chosen for this accolade

Mulligans - L Mulligan Grocer

An old grocers that’s been converted into a quirky gastropub with lovely character. Over 150 whisk(e)ys and a selection of Irish craft beers complement the artisan-inspired food
Food served Mon-Fri from 5pm, Sat, Sun & bank hols from 12.30pm. A la carte. abbreviations

Tucked into a traditional residential area behind the north quays, this former grocers is handy to the Four Courts, the Corporation Fruit & Vegetable Market (currently wholesale only, but due for upgrade to include retail space for artisan producers) and, of course, the redeveloped Smithfield area and its young population.


Even if you don’t have so much as a bite to eat, a visit here would be well worth a small detour just to absorb the atmosphere – and maybe sample a drink from their extensive range of ‘Libations’.


The team behind the venture - Michael Fogarty, Collin Hession, and Seaneen Sullivan – have worked hard, and earned a following for the ambience, craft beers, and local and artisan foods.


With a dozen or so Irish craft beers to choose from, including a guest cask, and many more by the bottle, plus a collection of over a hundred whiskeys/whiskies from Ireland, Scotland and other less predictable countries (Wales, Japan...), they offer the discerning drinker plenty of choice – and a lovely old time pub atmosphere to enjoy it in, albeit updated a bit to provide for eating (not an activity associated with old Irish pubs).


Menus are presented inside old hardback books (on topics including cookery and farming), one of many unusual details which customers find intriguing, and there’s plenty of reference to fresh produce and artisan producers.


Kish Fish text daily to advise what’s just in, black pudding is made in Fermanagh using fresh blood (which is the exception rather than the rule nowadays), sausages come from several respected producers incuding TJ Crowe and Jack McCarthy - and, of course, any booze used in cooking gets a mention too, with whiskeys from Kilbeggan, Connemara, and Inishowen just some of the flavours to look out for.


Specialities include starters of scotch eggs (very generous and with either rare breed pork or vegetarian options) and Garrynahinch mushrooms served with Crozier blue cream.

A particular mains speciality is Irish lamb rump with cauliflower and goats cheese puree, mash, carrots and ‘lovely gravy’. Other mains include fish and chips, smoked ham Kessler and cider and sage roast chicken supreme.


Desserts are mainly home made, but they offer Murphy’s ice cream alongside in-house favourites like Irish cream cheese and chocolate brownies and semifreddo – meringue kisses, Irish plum sauce, sea salt caramel & brown bread icecream

 


Friendly staff know their food and drink (bearing in mind that craft beer and whiskey are the main focus here) and, although cooking and service can be a bit hit and miss, especially at busy times, the speciality drinks and quirky atmosphere remain key reasons to visit L Mulligan - people like it and there’s a sense that everyone wants this big-hearted place to succeed.


They also host fortnightly beer tastings, whiskey and beer dinners and special events.
