Toners
Toners on Baggot Street is one of the oldest pubs in Dublin with a large beer garden. Serving customers since 1734, the pub draws large crowds on match days. The beer garden catches the sun with plenty of seating and serves pizza from Cirillo’s next door.
Bonobo
Bonobo in Smithfield serves a blend of craft beer and cocktails while serving homemade pizza. The beer garden itself is surrounded by greenery and most importantly, is dog-friendly.
The Manhattan
This gastropub in Raheny serves food and craft beer and boasts a large beer garden in the back. On sunny days, The Manhattan, with plenty of picnic tables, is a prime location on the northside, and just a stone’s throw away from St Anne’s Park.
The Living Room
Known for showing sports and pints, The Living Room, located on Cathal Brugha Street in the city centre, draws large crowds when the sun shines.
Drury Buildings
Often an overlooked gem in the city is the garden patio in Drury Buildings. The cocktail bar and garden on a patio area spread across different levels offers food with a Mediterranean twist. A new on-street dining area has also recently opened.
