A traditional local rather than a craft bar, though it keeps a couple of Irish craft lines (Trouble and Kinnegar have featured).

Traditional rather than craft-led, but it stocks Irish craft from Trouble, Kinnegar, Whiplash, Hope and Larkin's alongside the usual pints.

Mulligan Grocer](https://thecraftbeercrawl.com/dublin/venues/l-mulligan-grocer/) 18 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, D07 KN77 Pioneering craft gastropub with a strong Irish craft and whiskey list. [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=L.%20Mulligan%20Grocer%2C%2018%20Stoneybatter%2C%20Dublin%207%2C%20D07%20KN77) 7. ### [The Belfry](https://thecraftbeercrawl.com/dublin/venues/the-belfry/) 37 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, D07 X029 Rotating independent Irish taps. [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=The%20Belfry%2C%2037%20Stoneybatter%2C%20Dublin%207%2C%20D07%20X029) Walsh's and The Glimmer Man are classic Stoneybatter locals rather than craft bars. Come for the pubs themselves, with a craft tap or two on. The Glimmer Man is cash only. **Alcohol-free and pacing:** ask at the bar for alcohol-free beers and soft drinks, and remember a half is always fine. Eat along the way, drink water between stops, and skip a stop whenever you like. [More tips](https://thecraftbeercrawl.com/responsible-drinking/).
