Our favourite pub. Traditional, beautiful and with a hearty welcome. Great Guinness and try the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to look like a local

Exquisite fresh produce that always delivers. Grano brings people from across Dublin to Stoneybatter so perhaps one to plan ahead with and get a booking in.

If you've enjoyed Stoneybatter and fancy a bit more of "cool" Dublin, we really enjoy visiting Phibsborough. Make sure to grab a coffee in Two Boys Brew and pick up some delicious baked goods.

Grainne is from Castleknock - the other side of Phoenix Park. It's a lovely suburban town if you're in for a destination to take a stroll to.

This is a hidden gem so keep it quiet. A nice walk from our place, this basin is a tranquil oasis in the middle of bustling Dublin.

City/town information
Jack is from Kildare so he insisted we write this. Kildare is the horse capital of Ireland and is an easy train ride from Houston station near our house. We would recommend a trip to Firecastle for food, Kildare Village for shopping and the Irish National Stud or Curragh Racecourse for a great day out.
