It may be more of a restaurant and wine bar than a pub, but the Dalkey Dispensary is a lovely place to knock back a few and get your dinner as well. Bookcases line one side of this charming bistro while bottles of wine stare back at you from the other. The weekend also provides live music nights to accompany your glass of vino and parties and events are also catered for if you're coming with a group. This is a really lovely place to start or spend your evening in a lovely, old building with a great ambiance to boot.
