About Granny Annies Kitchen
Granny Annies Kitchen is a casual, quirky gastropub in St. George's Market that has carved out a loyal following for its eclectic decor—think repurposed farming tools and factory machinery built into tables—and lively atmosphere. The kitchen delivers solid comfort food: burgers, steaks, chicken wings, and fish and chips earn consistent praise, alongside standout dishes like chicken escalope with pepper sauce and sticky toffee pudding. The bar punches above its weight with a curated beer selection (including craft finds like Clonmell), well-crafted cocktails, and a respectable wine list. Live music and DJ sets are a regular draw, particularly on weekends and Sunday afternoons, creating an energetic backdrop for everything from casual lunches to group celebrations. Staff warmth varies by shift, but the venue's casual, cozy vibe and willingness to accommodate groups—even when busy—keeps both college students and tourists returning. Vegetarian options and kids' menus round out the offering, while breakfast and brunch reservations are recommended given consistent demand.
