The Lord Edward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
23 Christchurch Pl, Wood Quay, Dublin, D08 RK00<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lord Edward is the home you wish you had. It lives up to the \u201cpublic house\u201d origin of the word \u201cpub\u201d, with its carpeted floor, low ceilings, and tiny stools and round tables that customers move around depending on the size of their group\u2026.or to get closer to the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a busy pub, even on the coldest days, The Lord Edward can really heat up as people pack in and fill up the small space upstairs. Naturally, places by the fire get snatched up fast, but after a few hours, you might even find it a bit too toasty and have to shuffle off closer to the windows and escape the sauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McGrattan's<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
76 Fitzwilliam Ln, Dublin 2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
McGrattan's blends the old and new in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their smoking area has a formidable enclosed stove, which seems to be a bit rare. While it doesn\u2019t fit the archetype of a hardwood mantle and blazing flames peppered with the cracking spits of logs burning, it serves a utility beyond its appearance. It allows people to stay in the smoking area in style, not huddled beneath an electric heater, fumbling for the button to give another 5 minutes of neck blistering heat from above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
McGrattan's fire is surrounded by a stylishly mismatched set of furniture that would otherwise be more comfortable in a suburban conservatory. The setting encourages sitting back and sinking deep into the furniture, pint in one hand, dragging deeply on a cigarette with the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whelans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
25 Wexford St, Portobello, Dublin 2, D02 H527<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Camden Street can be host to an aggressive wind tunnel that roars all the way down the Centra on Dame Street. Whelans offers locals a safe haven with its large space, plenty of cosy snugs, and a range of different craft beer and drink options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fire isn\u2019t as consistently lit as others on the list, but if you\u2019re lucky enough to be there when it is, it throws a great glow across the large interior of Whelans, bouncing off the low ceilings and reflecting in the dark mahogany furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a soothing bunker feeling to place when they get the fire going that makes it hard to leave, and easy to buy another round!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dalkey Duck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Castle St, Dalkey, Dublin, A96 RY62<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dalkey Duck is one of the most recent complete pub renovations in Dalkey. It changed from a traditional pub called McDonaghs in the early 2000s to a Celtic Tiger bar called The Ivory during the boom years and then fell into obscurity.
It has since been bought and renovated by the owner of Whelan\u2019s<\/a> and given a Whelan\u2019s style makeover with lots of old furniture, dark lighting, snugs, music, and of course, a gently burning fire to seal the ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the staff are famously bad and might leave you waiting an unnecessarily long time for a simple Guinness, the atmosphere is welcoming. And the Dalkey Duck can accommodate large groups as well as more intimate gatherings. In better weather, when the fire might be more of a curse than a blessing, their beer garden is second to none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McNeills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
140 Capel St, North City, Dublin, D01 F9R2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
McNeills ticks all the boxes, pub, fireplace, old wooden interior, and trad music six nights a week. Capel Street is a bit of a Mecca for fireside pints, there are at least three pubs (Slattery\u2019s, McNeills, and Jack Nealon's) with fireplaces nestled amongst the Asian eateries on Capel Street<\/a>, but McNeills has the best atmosphere to suit the mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fire sits close enough to the bar that you can gesture from the flames for another drink, and the barmen load it up with coal, turf, and logs for a pleasant aroma and mix of glowing embers and flames. Beware though, the trad musicians have a claim to the fireplace and a sign warns that you will be kicked out of your seat when they arrive. If you\u2019re there for the music, it\u2019s best to take some of the chairs at the bar, or against the wall for the best view of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
