    The Celtic Hearth

    Head to The Celtic Hearth for dinner. It is a traditional Irish pub that serves food and is open 24/7, so you can arrive right after the sunset without worrying about closing times.

    The Ship Pub & Kitchen

    Move next door or nearby to The Ship Pub & Kitchen for a drink. With live music or trivia nights likely on, it is a lively place to end the evening.

Local tip

The walk from the botanical garden area to Bannerman Park is long, so starting at The Rocket near the waterfront saves time and energy. The Celtic Hearth is open all night, making it a safe bet for a late dinner after the sun goes down.
