  Now you can play ‘The Back Nine’ in The back Page. We’ve seen a few pubs have small putting competitions in the bar, but this new venture really takes the cake. Games of pool, table tennis, darts, and even shuffle board have been around in pubs for years, but now you have the opportunity […]

Here’s an interesting looking food and drink event that was sent into us.     Dingle Distillery and Native Waves are delighted to present ‘Of Land & Sea’, an unique collaborative culinary experience celebrating Dingle Gin, Dingle Peninsula and it’s passionate artisan food producers. On Sunday 29th April in Lucky’s, Meath St, Kevin Murphy (Idas, […]

The Dublin bar scene has been growing and growing in recent years with pubs changing hands and some sites being brought back from the dead through extensive renovation. Some are ready to go and some are just about to open. We’ve put together a list of 8 new spots to try out around town.   […]

  The Barbers in Gragegorman has gone down a storm since first opening. They nailed the design, atmosphere, and ambience from day one. It’s slightly quirky and has plenty of character. It has proved popular for people just popping in for a drink, but also for bigger group bookings.     They’ve unveiled an amazing […]

  You’d be forgiven for thinking that the fine example of a Victorian era pub downstairs in The Palace is all there is to see, but there’s another area upstairs that some people are unfamiliar with. Upstairs is the Whiskey palace, a small, comfy, carpeted room with a bar of its own and a character […]

  The Lucky Duck is the new pub from the PressUp group who are behind Marys, the Workmans, Liquor Rooms, Vintage Cocktail Club among other bars and pubs around town. Since September of last year they’ve been renovating the old Aungier House pub on Aungier Street, transforming it into what looks set to be a […]

  We’re big fans of how 57 The Headline on Clanbrassil Street have made use of this slightly raised space in the main bar. The pub is known as one of the best pubs in the city for gin and they have a dedicated gin bar upstairs offering the best of Irish gin and tonics. […]

  We were in Luckys on Meath Street as part of our new pub pub pub crawl a few weeks back and had a great time. One thing we didn’t do properly was check out their beer garden when there was a bit of sun and sample the pizza selection. Both looked like they warranted […]

    We recently got a private message through our facebook page from Crystal Claire asking us to help date a cocktail menu from one of the Jurys hotels in town. We said that we had no idea when it might date from but we’d create an article on it and hopefully someone more knowledgeable […]

  Doyles Corner in Phibsboro has recently changed hands and is set to reopen shortly under new ownership with a fresh new look. The pub has been taken over by the crowd who have had recent success with The Barbers in Grangegorman and Oscars in Smithfield and Christchurch. The Barbers very much hit the ground […]

  The beer garden of the Glimmerman in Stoneybatter might not be the first place you’d expect to find a Vietnamese food truck, but it’s very much a pub full of surprises. Inside is one of the most eclectically decorated pubs in the city, including a bed hanging from the ceiling that contains Margaret Thatcher […]

Oscars Christchurch     Oscars in Christchurch have signs and posters all over the bar encouraging you to hold your pub quiz event there. It’s a very large space that can hold around 40-250 people over 2 levels. They have a PA, and a big screen. They donate €2 from each pizza sold to the […]

  On Tuesday night of last week The Rag Trader on Drury Street was named ‘Best whiskey bar in Ireland’ at the Travel and Hospitality Awards. We thought we’d give you a quick look around to see what all the fuss is about.     The bar is a wonderful recreation of an old Irish […]

    Every year a celebration of the life noted Irish author of Myles na gCopaleen/ Flann O’Brien/ Brian O’Nolan is held in The Palace Bar on the 1st of April. This year (2018) it’s happening on Monday the 2nd of April just to make things easier and so it doesn’t coincide with a rugby […]
