3.0 on June 14th, 2011

Ticket retrieval was fine. The electricity stayed on for the duration of the movie. I got street parking, so that was good (and free). So far so good. My downfall came when I had the misfortune of sitting next to a pair of silver foxes that had decided to take their living-room conversation to th...

A good burger, but nothing extra-special. Was in at lunchtime and the service was alright. Took a few goes to get their attention everytime we wanted it, but when you did get them they were grand. Lots of outdoor seating so it's a popular place when the sun is shining, and the inside tables aren'...

Went for a mid-week meal here. Liked it alot. The food was top-notch as were the staff and surroundings. It was full too which can't be said about a lot of places there days during the week. The prices are a bit higher than other Indians in the area, but it's reflected in the quality of the food ...

Yeah, good coffee + hot chocolate. Other than that, seems like your standard café...

Better than before. Hadn't been through this station for awhile and they've done a lot of work in the meantime. Better flow of people and much more like a proper city centre train station, in a proper city. Finally.

I was here a while ago and again on Mother's Day last. I was impressed on both occassions. On Mother's Day the place was over-run by youngsters of various (st)ages and the staff coped well with the carnage. The food was pretty good - I had a warm chicken salad to start (could have done with a bit...

Burger King

Burger King Fast Food · City Centre (South)

3.0 on April 4th, 2011

Somehow quiker than the other BK at the bottom of Grafton St. I sometimes grab a burger from here when I'm in a hurry (going past) and they are always quick and fresh. Don't bother with Micky Ds - "I'm a Burger King".

I watched the glorious victory over England at the weekend here. Not the most traditional spot to watch a match, but good for atmosphere with tourists and locals getting equally excited. It's definitely a 3-star bar, but they gave out complimentary chicken and chips to all tables going into the s...

Helpful & friendly staff. Unfortunately they couldn't actually help me on my last visit, but they were still friendly! A good starting point if you have any questions about changing contracts or upgrading etc...

I can't find fault with Venu. I've been a number of times and have always been impressed. Their lunch-time burger is savage. Their night-time steak is immense. I haven't ventured further with the menu though because I keep sticking to the same picks every time I go. Maybe some day. The atmosphere...

I ate here one night (on a Monday); it was late and we were the last ones in the door but the service didn't suffer and was still with a smile. I was impressed with the quality of the food. It was all perfect, especially their mini burgers which were savage. The place is small and cosy with a few...

Meh - coin issues are a regular occurance here unfortunately. The problem seems to build up over a few days until the machines just stop working and won't accept any coins. It's inevitably fixed the next day (so kudos for that) but it's just a little annoying how regularly it seems to happen. Str...

Great service and always with a smile - TESTERATIONS.

I hadn't been here before but had heard mixed reports. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Went for lunch mid-week and got an old school standard, bangers & mash. It was nice and simple - bangers, mash and gravy. Sausages were tasty, gravy was slightly tangy and the mash was perfectly moist...

Bank of Ireland

Bank of Ireland Bank Branches · Temple Bar

4.0 on February 10th, 2011

Whatever about their larger ticket banking practices, their customer service in this branch is the best I've ever had in an Irish bank. Each time I'm in they approach me to see if I need help, which they are always able to provide and the counter staff are always polite and competent...

I used to love eating these when I was a kid. I hadn't been for years but they haven't changed a bit. Their price has increased (standard), but the eating is just as good as ever. One star reduced for their coffee - it's not too bad but this place is all about the croissants....particularly the m...

I'm with the Floundering cat on this one. Good quality sandwiches in good surroundings. It's a very popular spot so the queue at lunch for your sandwich can be a bit trying and the wait increases the closer to 1 o'clock you are. Avoid that and it can be a great experience. Worth giving this place...

4.0 on January 25th, 2011

Was here on Saturday. Parked my car for about 9 hours (approx) and was expecting the worst when it was time to leave but in fact it was okay - only €8......possibly the cheapest parking in Dublin. There was plenty of space up for grabs too and no trollys in sight, so it's possibly the only well f...

Not bad. Was in for lunch and had a pizza. It was decent enough but not the best I've ever had (but at €10 you couldn't complain). Service was good. I'd go again as the other dishes looked pretty good too...

Big fan of this place! Lunch would be my usual time for going, but I recently had dinner here and can now safely say that it has no weaknesses. All three mains served were top quality and the desserts were rich and tasty. Prices aren't too bad, and for the quality probably quite reasonable. It's ...
