Paul BG posted a new review on Messr Maguire, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Have been in here a few times recently and have to say that while it wouldn't be top of my list by any means we had a great night here. Its a decent micobrewery and their pints of Plain Stout are well worth tasting- not mad on their Weiss beer but a friend of mine raves about it and won't drink...

Nigel D'Arcy posted a new review on Wilde & Green, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

I have heard this place raved about, so I went here for a brunch /breakfast with a friend .Lovely day, friend found table outside- rubbish on it which was not cleared in the entire hour plus we were there.Long delay at the till -someone having a long semi-row about reward points she was due -our...

Sarah O'Malley posted a new review on Cafe en Seine, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

As far as decor goes this place would be one of the best, but its always packed, granted most places in dublin on a night out are packed but this place is narrow enough that you get squashed and the people who associate there are those of whom think they of a higher class than others, been there...

Paul BG posted a new review on Brown Thomas - Dublin, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Maybe its just me but I think this store is much more appealing to women - much more in their way in regard to clothes, shoes , accessories and cosmetics. Nevertheless has some good sections, bought a quality Gaggia coffee maker in here about seven years ago and its still going strong. Its...

Sarah Jane English posted a new review on The Blue Light, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

None of your contrived wannabe Irish pub paraphenalia here (ahem Johnnie Foxes!). The Blue Light is a great pub - especially during the day after an amble in the hills. Great Guinness and Beamish on tap! Live music every night and turf fires all day every day. What more could you want? Amazing...

Sue O'B posted a new review on Odessa Club & Restaurant, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Great Sunday brunch here - we had to queue but staff were great at remembering our request to avoid being seated in the dingy basement area...on a sunny Sunday you need light. Food was great, brilliant selection and huge portions, best eggs benedict in town. Bit pricey but great for lads with big...

dub girl girl posted a new review on Odessa Club & Restaurant, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Enjoyed a yummy brunch here with friends one sunday. We had booked for 12pm which seemed like a good time as it wasn't overly busy - it certainly picked up! All of us really enjoyed the food - they made changes to meals (chips instead of salad etc) with no problems. Service was friendly and...

dub girl girl posted a new review on Dakota Bar, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Stopped in here a few weeks ago on a sunday for a quick drink and ended up staying for about 4 hours!! We were sat outside under the covers (it was raining on and off) watching the world go by. They had a list of cocktails for just E5 which we thought was great value. When it got a bit chilly we...

Mary O'Sullivan posted a new review on The Church, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

i have been here a few times! for nights out and also for lunches! the food is gorgeous! we got the chicken burger which they serve in the bbq area outside! it was €10 and well worth it! yummmy! there is also a nightclub whih i have also been to and it is quite cool! it is lovely to look...

Mary O'Sullivan posted a new review on Cafe en Seine, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

this is a cool spot! the decor is pretty cool and ornate!! the crowd are quite sophisticated which suits! the prices of drinks used to be very high,but i was there recently and i noticed that they have decreased which is cool and appropriate due to the recession etc! its a good place for the...

Mary O'Sullivan posted a new review on Dakota Bar, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

dakota is a good spot to head in to for a ouple of drinks!!! its not the kind of place i would spend the whole night but its good for a couple! the atmosphere is quite buzzy and kind of businessy during the week!! i like the furnitre and the lightings!!

Mary O'Sullivan posted a new review on H&M, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

i love H+M! it is a great shop which normally has something for everybody! the prices are generally quite reasonable!! I was so excited when i heard that this one was coming to the southside, but i must say that the selection is definately better over in Britain, which is kind of annoying! they...

Mary O'Sullivan posted a new review on Korkys, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

this is a place where you can sometimes pick up some original pieces!! they have shoes which are quite different to the orhers available in shops! i have found the staff to not be the best! they tend to stand behind the till talking amongst themselves and you have to interrupt them if you need...

Mary O'Sullivan posted a new review on Topshop, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

like the fashion in topshop!! they have some really funky on trend clothes and accessories which are always a crowd pleaser, however they are quite expensive! they do offer 10 student discount which can come in very handy if you are buying something expensive! i do like topshop, but the prices...

Michelle Barrett posted a new review on Milano (Dundrum), that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Milano's is the same all over you cant really fault it. Went to Milano's in Dundrum, yesterday as part of a girlie day out, we decided to sit outside as it was a lovely day, staff were friendly. Tables are grand, but there were a lot of tables that needed clearing down before new customers...

Anna Mc Dermott posted a new review on Odessa Club & Restaurant, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

What a disappointment. Many floors of the creme de la creme? I think not. First of all- Overpriced. Expensive with no bonuses. The cocktails lacked alcohol. The service was shocking. The aura of obnoxious snobby Dublin's finest occupies the many floors. Not the nicest atmosphere. One needs to bend...

Margaret O posted a new review on Marks & Spencer Food Hall, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

Wonderful selection of food. There is nothing you cannot find by way of meat, fish, desserts, vegetables, juices, sauces, ready meals,cakes, breads etc. One of my favourites is the gammon with parsley sauce. If I had an endless supply of cash I would not cook for a whole month and would buy...

Margaret O posted a new review on Jervis Shopping Centre, that Joanna Barry also reviewed

I just love this shopping centre. It has a great number of shops, lots of nice places to eat and also a food court. Bright and airy feel to Jervis Street shhopping centre as you never feel cramped there. Toilets are always very well serviced and clean which is a major plus. Nice juice bar...
