Foggy Dew
1 Fownes Street UpperClassic Irish pub...always full of locals chugging pints and having a good time.
If cocktails and gossip are your thing, then head to VCC. Warning, you will have a hard time finding it because it just has a nondescript black door with the letters VCC on it. Also, you must book in advance and they only seat people a couple times a night. Worth the obstacles and memorable.
