Honey Martin is the kind of neighbourhood pub where everyone’s either a regular or about to become one. Tucked into NDG, it’s small in size but big on character—bartenders who actually chat with you, a steady flow of Guinness, and a clientele that ranges from local musicians to night-shift industry workers looking to wind down. The crowd is a mix of 20-somethings making noise and longtime patrons who’ve perfected the art of closing out a bar. Live music keeps the place lively, trivia nights bring in a dedicated crew, and the walls are packed with enough warmth—paintings, memorabilia, a diorama over the bar—to make it feel like an old friend’s living room. If you’re coming from outside the neighbourhood, don’t wait too long to claim a stool. Once the night gets rolling, space is a luxury, and you won’t want to be left standing.
