While Dalkey is best known for its traditional pubs, The Magpie appears to have jumped on the craft beer and brunching bandwagon to create a contemporary pub with plenty to offer. With drinks from Scottish brewers BrewDog and Trouble Brewing, an Irish group with plenty of interesting beers there is more than just a well-poured pint of Guinness on offer. When it comes to food, the menu could be described as 'Irish with a twist' and features some interesting brunch and dinner options. If you're staying nearby you might find yourself in The Magpie more than once during your trip.
