Pull up a chair
Fitzgerald's has stood on Sandycove Road since 1861 - the sort of pub where the Guinness settles before you've found a seat. No frills, no pretence. Just well-kept pints, a solid shelf of Irish whiskies, and the kind of warmth that doesn't need to announce itself. No kitchen of our own - but order excellent smashburgers and fries at the bar from our friends at Sandycove Yard, just down the road, and they'll deliver to your table. We show the live sport on three large TVs - a great spot to watch a match with a pint in hand. Five minutes from the Forty Foot. Ten minutes from the DART. Around the corner from Joyce's tower. Everyone's welcome - step-free access at the side door, accessible bathroom, tables at various heights. Bring the dog, if you want. Whether you're drying off after a swim, walking the coast from Dún Laoghaire, or just looking for a decent pint in Sandycove - you've found it.

Around Sandycove
We're at the heart of it all. Five minutes from the Forty Foot - check the live swimming conditions before you swim, and read our Forty Foot swimming guide for safety, parking, and facilities. We're the natural pub after a swim, around the corner from James Joyce's Martello Tower, and a fine spot to mark Bloomsday in Sandycove. Want to stay near the Forty Foot? Rooms above the pub are coming soon. Read a little of our story on Sandycove Road, plan your visit from the Dún Laoghaire cruise port, or just come in for a pint.
