Tucked away in the trendy Stoneybatter neighbourhood, The Glimmer Man is far more than just a pub—it's a sprawling, chaotic wonderland of Irish eccentricity. The front bar retains a classic Victorian feel, but head to the enormous back bar and you'll find yourself surrounded by a mind-boggling collection of oddities, from pianos and vintage bicycles to blow-up dolls and a bed suspended from the ceiling featuring wax dummies of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. It's a true local institution with a brilliant atmosphere, friendly staff, an excellent selection of craft beers, and a famous Vietnamese food truck (Vietnom) in the beer garden. Just remember, it's cash only (though there's an ATM inside) and be sure to look up—every inch of this place tells a story.
