Tap ass (02 October 2009)
by: Luke
in:
Public House
I came here looking for a pint, not some fucking tapas-wank with oysters-left-over-from-the-day-before (according to barmaid). That said, once I escaped the posturing cod of the the "lounge" and penetrated the adjacent bar proper - that is,... Read more...

"When the world is too dark, and the need the light inside of me, I'll walk into a bar and drink 15 pints of beer." - Shane MacGowan. (02 October 2009)

So there I was, crawling around Dublin pubs as is the wont of "cool" Irish teenagers like me, struggling in vain and occasionally in vein to find the finest Guinness in the land. Sounds like a dream come true for some. For others, there are... Read more...

Don't come here to charge your phone (06 September 2009)
I was once told by a friend who used to work here that he had to clean shit off a seat on one occasion after a screening. He never told me which film it was, as if this was somehow irrelevant, but I will allow you, the reader, to draw your own... Read more...

I think I just got a bit sick in my throat (24 August 2009)
by: Luke
in:
Night Clubs
I haven't been to 21s since I was a child, but the one thing that jumps out at me every time I walk down D'Olier St and see the gaudy XXI sign is the unrelenting memory of Indian dwarves. Every time I was dragged into this club, I can distinctly recall,... Read more...

Better than sex (24 August 2009)
by: Luke
in:
Wines Spirits & Beer - Retail
If Willy Wonka was an alcoholic who decided to fuck the whole chocolate thing and get into something less sexually dubious (gobstoppers clearly an excuse to groom children) and more fun, he might very well have come up with the Celtic Whiskey Shop. Never... Read more...

Water, water, everywhere but not a drop to drink. (23 August 2009)
There comes a time in every young man's life where a growing disenchantment with the deep fat-frying trade comes to a head, and he just has to lash out against the grease. For me, a regular at chip shops across the capital city, this fateful occasion... Read more...

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar (18 August 2009)
by: Luke
in:
Tobacconists - Retail
I don't particularly like cigars, and I have no idea why rich arseholes feel so regularly compelled to spend the GDP of a small country on these glorified cigarettes. They are, however, the ultimate status symbol (just topped by, say, a couple of... Read more...

Perfect for drinking pints, over other drinks containing alcohol. (16 August 2009)
by: Luke
in:
Public House
"Now here's a pub," I thought as I first stepped into the famous South William St watering hole. Overpriced toasted sandwiches that I will probably buy for years to come despite their innate mediocrity, very rude managerial staff and the... Read more...
