About The Gasworks Bar & Kitchen
Over in the East Docklands at Point Village, The Gasworks Bar & Kitchen stands as a hearty contender among the best pubs in Docklands Dublin. Part of the Gibson Hotel empire, it's got that industrial edge nodding to its gasholder past , think rusted metal beams, vast warehouse space, and a massive outdoor terrace perfect for 3Arena gig-goers. Right by the River Liffey and a stone's throw from the O2 (now 3Arena), it's the go-to for pre- or post-event pints. The Guinness flows creamy here, but they shine with gastropub fare: wood-fired pizzas, gourmet burgers, and fresh seafood platters.
What to Expect
The vibe shifts from chilled daytime coffee spot (hello, H Bar next door) to lively evening hub with DJs, sports on big screens, and occasional live bands. Food is elevated pub grub , try the pulled pork belly or truffle fries, all locally sourced where possible. Service is spot-on, even on busy nights when Point Village pulses with energy. Rooftop-ish terrace views catch the wind but offer epic sunsets over the Liffey.
Insider Tips
Local lowdown: book the terrace for summer BBQs or winter igloos , heated and cosy. Happy hour 5-7pm weekdays slashes cocktail prices. Pair a pint with the €12 lunch special (mains under 30 mins). Walk from Luas Red Line Point stop, dodging gig crowds. For quiet, hit mid-afternoon; for craic, Friday nights. A solid pick for pubs in Docklands Dublin blending history, food, and location.
