## Details

Officially the Castle Lounge but known to all Dublin as Grogan’s, this South William Street institution is the favoured watering hole of artists, writers and locals. Renowned for a peerless pint of Guinness and classic ham-and-cheese toasties toasted behind the bar. There is no music, no television screens, and no food beyond toasties, fostering rich conversation.
