J.W Sweetman

Formerly known as Messrs Maguire, this place is great because they brew their own beer on the premises. You can book tours of the brewery and learn about how they make the beers, or a “Brewmaster’s Dinner” to see how their beers pair up with food. Another great thing are the unbeatable prices of their own beers: 4.00 for their Pale Ale and 4.50 for the other Sweetman’s beers. They often do seasonal specials and their whole range is extremely good quality. The place is huge, there are 3 floors and there are great spaces available for reservations upstairs. The food is very good as well, and from the upper floors you have amazing views of the Liffey, O’Connell Bridge, Spire, and O’Connell Street. Another thing is that unlike most other craft beer bars, they also sell non-craft beers, so even if your mates have not awoken to the loveliness that is craft beer, you’ll have a very easy time getting them in here. Lots of screens as well for watching matches. They open late, too. What more could you ask for?
