Scotts Bikes

Scotts Bikes Bike Shops · Rathgar

5.0 on July 30th, 2012

I've had a couple of bike services and puncture repairs here and I'd be surprised if anywhere else charges less or does a better no nonsense job. My last puncture was repaired on the spot which was nice and handy.
No sales pitch involved, just good honest service.

The Underground

The Underground Nightclubs · City Centre (South)

5.0 on September 28th, 2009

This club is a rare gem in the city. It's all nicely understated, but solid electronic tunes (thanks to the Lunar Disko dj's) and chilled out crowd can make for a top night. And the cover charge tends to be reasonable for dj's on offer.

Project Arts Centre

Project Arts Centre Theatres · Temple Bar

4.0 on April 29th, 2009

There's something appealing about the design of this venue as an urban arts space. The main theatre upstairs is a good big size and well decked out. There is a bar upstairs too, but beware of the house white wine as we were nearly poisened! Ah maybe we were unlucky. Keep on eye on the events here...

As a gig venue this place works well if it's not too packed and you're not too far back from the stage. Visibility can be a problem as there are large pillars back from the stage. But they have a great big bar, good service, and there's a big downstairs sections as well that's all opened up at th...

Tripod

Tripod Nightclubs · City Centre (South)

4.0 on April 29th, 2009

This is my favourite gig venue in the city. It's big without having a warehouse feel and has a second bar and back section away from the main stage area for taking a breather. I find there's more of a big night out feel in this venue than in Crawdaddy downstairs. I'd even give it a 5th star if it...

Kebab K-lub

Kebab K-lub Take Aways · City Centre (South)

3.0 on December 16th, 2008

Don't judge the book by its cover, the food here is far better than Abrakebabra. That may be setting the bar low but try eating the Taco Fries with a beer induced appetite without finding wholesome satisfaction.

The Crow Gallery

The Crow Gallery Art Galleries · Temple Bar

3.0 on December 15th, 2008

I'm being harsh with only 3 stars, but found the gallery ferociously difficult to find! After walking by it a few times I finally saw the name on a sheet of A4 selotaped to the window (on the left near the bottom of the street)!

But once you get up inside it is a very nice space for viewing. B...

The Bernard Shaw

The Bernard Shaw Pubs & Bars · Portobello

4.0 on December 15th, 2008

There's nothing typical about this place: neither the pitchers of beer and buckfast nor the banging tunes with a decent crowd in a local low key venue. On a weekend night anyway, it's a fine spot to warm up before a club or just as an alternative to a big night (it closes at 1:30am).
