hugh maguire posted a new review on Pravda, that michelle martin also reviewed

Pravda is just across from the Hapenny Bridge and is one of the better themed bars that arrived during the Celtic Tiger. Its a Russian themed bar with loads of posters and fittings from the soviet era. The food in here has always been one of their strongpoints - their bowls of jumbo wings are...

Sue O'B posted a new review on RTE Guide Magazine, that michelle martin also reviewed

The RTE Guide has had it's day with the onset of newspaper supplements with weekly programmes listed. It used to be a good buy for the celebrity interviews but they are so tame now, always flattering to the person interviewed and RTE Guide tends to repeat them. Also lets not forget the price of...

Niall Doherty posted a new review on Bruxelles, that michelle martin also reviewed

Nice spot to stop for a few beers after work. Sat outside and mostly enjoyed experience except for random homeless people hassling us for 'money for a hostel'. This happened about three times per hour. Waiter was Australian, would have been nice to have an Irish person serving seeing as so many...

Cat W posted a new review on New Look, that michelle martin also reviewed

After working my way through the whole of Liffey Valley looking for the perfect pair of shoes I remembered New Look was upstairs. It must be one of the largest New Looks in Ireland and has the best selection of shoes for any occasion. They are very reasonable, a bit different, will have something...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Arnotts, that michelle martin also reviewed

There are a lot of rumours floating about at the minute in relation to the its precarious position in relation to the banks, just hope to god that there all unfounded cos I'd hate to see store going by the wayside. Its part of Dublin. Theres everything in here - the best sports section in any...

K S posted a new review on Blazing Salads, that michelle martin also reviewed

I go here all the time because I really do love their food, but the prices are a bit too much for what you get. Really lovely staff though, and nice to have an alternative to spars/centras on your lunchbreak!

hugh maguire posted a new review on The Church, that michelle martin also reviewed

I can't comment on the food as I've never eaten here, but as a place to go out for a few drinks I would have no problem in recommending The Church. Ok its not located in the best part of town but its not far to walk. The decor is amazing - with tons of old features and restored stonework. Excellent...

Marianne Cassidy posted a new review on Cafe en Seine, that michelle martin also reviewed

I really dislike this place, I find it quite stuffy and pretentious. The over-the-top decor is interesting at first but loses its sheen after about fifteen minutes and leaves you with the impression that you have wandered off Dawson Street and into a faux-luxurious Parsienne brothel. The five euro...

Marianne Cassidy posted a new review on Jimmy Chungs, that michelle martin also reviewed

... but my figure really really doesn't. Easily the best all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet in Dublin, with a huge variety of food on offer, with all the old favourite like springs roll and sweet and sour chicken and also some more surprising dishes... I once tried a spicy clam and noodle dish! It's...

Marianne Cassidy posted a new review on Doyles of College Street, that michelle martin also reviewed

Doyle's is a really great compromise between the pub and the club. Downstairs has plenty of snugs and corners where you can comfortably chat, and upstairs has a real indie club vibe with a decent-sized dancefloor. It has a floating population of Trinity students, which mean the crowd is always...

Charlotte H posted a new review on Clerys Department Store, that michelle martin also reviewed

Dublin offers the keen (especially female) shopper this fabulous department store when Arnotts, Debenhams and BT's get inevitably stale. A classic and elegant redemption on a disgraceful and embarrassing "central" Dublin street. Clery's boasts an impressive makeup selection with...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Porterhouse, that michelle martin also reviewed

The original of the Porterhouse chain and a quality pub. Its kind of awkward in layout, over a number of floors and can get a bit cramped sometimes, but the huge selection of great beers the live music and the superb food make up for this. Love the Porterhouse Red Ale and their Oyster Stout both...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Big Tree The, that michelle martin also reviewed

Located in Drumcondra and not far from Croke Park the Big Tree pub attracts a decent mix of sports fan and college students. Match day - especially when the Dubs are playing, sees this place at its busiest. Its a large pub on three levels - all open plan.Good atmosphere in here on Friday/Sat night...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Foggy Dew, that michelle martin also reviewed

This place has definitely earned its four stars - its a great pub. Their sunday music sessions are legend and your always guaranteed a great night. Seen the Bionic Rats in here - they do some brilliant Specials covers and they had the place hoppin. The bar is more quiet and traditional during the...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Bad Ass Cafe The, that michelle martin also reviewed

The Bad Ass Cafe has been around a long time now and used to be one of the in places to go. Was in here a couple of months ago with a few friends and while we enjoyed the food - it was really good, no one had any complaints, the pricing is ridiculous. Pizza's at around 15 euro , a side of mashed...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Metro Cafe, that michelle martin also reviewed

Have been coming here for a few years now and never get tired of it. On a sunny day in Dublin this is one of the best spots for coffee and an hour or two of peoplewatching. Reminds me of a small Parisien cafe. Always busy with a predominantly young crowd, very popular with students. Food is good...

Alison Matthews posted a new review on Cactus Jacks, that michelle martin also reviewed

My boyfriend and I went to Cactus Jack's the other night and I was very pleased with the experience. First of all, I know that the variety of Early Bird offers on weekends in Dublin can be lacking, so I was pleased we could even get in as we arrived just at 7pm. The deal is 19.95 for starter, main...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Dublin Skylon Hotel, that michelle martin also reviewed

The Skylon Hotel is situated on the main Drumcondra Road next to St Pats College. Its upgrade is now complete and the rooms and facilities are much improved. Its an ideal location ,close to the airport and near to town, Croker etc. Many locals would also use the bar in here. Haven't eaten in their...

hugh maguire posted a new review on Clerys Department Store, that michelle martin also reviewed

Clery's has been a Dublin institution which seems to be around forever. Used to meet my first girlfriend here UCC (under Clery's clock) when I hopped off my bus into town. Has got a complete makeover in recent years and can now compete with the best of them. Loads of high street brands instore,...

E N posted a new review on Eddie Rockets City Diner, that michelle martin also reviewed

i loved the chips at eddie rockets especially as they come in such a wide variety of different ways such as chilli chips or cheesy chips etc. They also make really nice milkshakes and their portion sizes are quite generous. some of their foods can be a bit pricey for a fast food diner but i think...
