Not sure if this has been mentioned before on here but interesting review in today's Independent of L. Muligans a new gastropub in Stoneybatter (Dublin 7). See link [url:3dk2096g]http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/day-and-night/refuel-l-mulligan-grocer-2313803.html[/url:3dk2096g]

They have a 'No Guinness Policy' (serving O'Haras instead) and a number of interesting other brews: "Big Daddy IPA, Payback Porter, Blue Frog Ale and La Chouffe -- a full-bodied Belgian Blonde"...apparently.

Has anyone been yet?

Before you get a flood of replies, I think lots have been to sample their wares. Great pub, good food, great beer selection, you should definitely check it out next time your in Dublin.

Thread here[/url:cp4b8y9m]. Great pub.

Visited the place for the 1st time yesterday evening, quite enjoyed it. Good selection of beer, the staff very friendly, and the food was nice although portions were on the small side i felt. Thinking i was just being greedy i listened to the reaction of the people beside me and the people beside them, and their 1st comments too were about the portion sizes. I'll definitely be back, although, despite the food being nice I dont think i'd eat there again. Didn't feel it was great value at all.

Ah now, the indo-review from hell...thanks for posting. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Lynchfella, portion size/too bistro-esque food was the subject of a discussion this morning. Thanks for the feedback, and stay tuned for a more pork-pie heavy menu in the coming week.

Haven't eaten there myself yet but the wife has and she enjoyed it. A group of 6 of us will be in on friday for dinner and drinks.
