Visit Ireland’s cosiest bars to enjoy a drink by the fire

Embrace the festive season by relaxing in our favourite Irish pubs

With summer firmly behind us, gone are the days of soaking up the sun in beer gardens. However, that doesn’t mean the socialising needs to come to an end. Chilly winter evenings are the perfect excuse to seek shelter in a bar or snug. These Irish pubs are the perfect spots to have a spot of lunch, catch up with a friend, or simply relax with a drink and a new book.

Is your favourite bar missing from our list? Leave us a comment and we’ll add it to the list!
