  We’ve long been calling for pubs to make more use of the versatile and tasty spud. Some pubs that don’t have the capacity to offer a full menu sometimes opt to specialise in pizza or sandwiches. One new pub has opted to trial something different. The Piper’s Corner on Marlborough Street is a recently […]

  A few weeks ago we let you know about a new massive bar and venue opening on Hawkin’s Street. We didn’t have too much detail at the time, so we’ve returned now to fill you in. Tramline is split into tow main large areas, the venue with a stage and impressive capacity, and Matzaluna, […]

  The laneway beer garden in Ned O’Shea’s on Lower Bridge Street is a great asset. Half covered, half exposed (But with the option of a retractable awning) it makes for a good spot whatever the weather. It’s especially welcoming when their mock Guinness gates are inviting you in.     If you’re looking for […]

  We had the pleasure of attending the launch night of ‘Urban Brewing’, a new bar in and under the CHQ building in the IFSC earlier this week. We though we’d share a few photos and thoughts with you.     Upstairs the bar opens out onto a terrace area, getting plenty of sunlight and […]

  We heard someone say a few years ago that it was no longer a case that individual pubs competed with each other for business, but rather that it was a case of competing areas. Perhaps it’s not so much a case of areas competing, but areas coming together. One of the best examples of […]

  The Cat and Cage in Drumcondra is one of the cities oldest pubs, having its origins in the 17th century. For years they’ve done a great trade in food and drink, and even welcomed some famous faces through the doors. Sean O’Casey drank here frequently and wrote about the pub in one of his […]

  It might come as a shock to those familiar with the Temple Bar district that hens and stags were once considered not the kind of business wanted by the businesses of the area. An Irish Independent article from 1998 that we recently came across details the plans set in motion by the ‘Temple Bar […]

  This is one of the more fascinating and odd pub related videos we’ve come across over the years. Apparently there was an Opera made in 1965 based around O’Donoghue’s pub on Merrion Row, starring Ronnie Drew, The Dubliners, Johnny Moynihan, the McKenna’s, and a slew of other influential Irish musicians. The website itsthedubliners.com describes […]

  The Headline have sent us a photo of the beef that they’re going to be using to turn into burgers for National Burger Day (all stand for the anthem) on Friday the 25th of August. It’s a 50 day aged bit of beef that looks like it has the perfect ratio of meat and […]

  Pifko Bar on the south quays have been serving up Czech and Slovak food and drink for a good few years. Now they have a burger challenge that would be tough on any stomache. They want you to eat 1.5kg of burger and fries AND drink a pint of beer in 20 minutes. As […]
