Bombay Pantry

Bombay Pantry Take Aways · Clonskeagh

4.0 on May 11th, 2009

The doyen of Indian Takeaways in Ireland. The food is top quality and unlike other indian takeaways it always looks fresh and natural - no pink tikka masala here!! The only downside is their delivery service which can be very slow. So I try to pick it up instead. Its good value too.

Tried this great bistro in the heart of Dun Laoghaire last Sunday night. The food is hearty and well presented. The value for money will be hard to beat. with €16 for two courses or €20 for three. I went for the main and desert while my sidekick went for a starter and main course. We shared the ...

Croke Park

Croke Park Stadiums & Arenas · North Strand

5.0 on October 27th, 2008

The home of Gaelic Games. Its a credit to an amateur organisation that they have one of the best stadia in the world and still continue the tradition of having terrracing (Hill 16). Its at its best during the Championship held in the Irish Summer and there is no better atmosphere in the world of ...

Don't GO EVER. When I was living in the apartments behind the cafe. I decided one Saturday to go for lunch. Worst mistake of my life to present. Ended up getting serious food poisoning which kept me out of work for nearly a month. Lost nearly a stone in weight which I did not have to lose, as I'm...

Castleknock Golf Club

Castleknock Golf Club Golf · Castleknock

4.0 on September 30th, 2008

Excellent parkland course opened in 2005, well designed, great variety. Short and long Par 3, 4 and 5's. Greens are top class. There is plenty of water on the course and as the course matures it will only get better. Being so close to Dublin it is well worth a visit and within couple of miles of...

Movies@ Dundrum

Movies@ Dundrum Cinemas · Dundrum

3.0 on August 30th, 2008

Well what can you say about a Cinema Complex, They are without fail dark and always sell popcorn at crazy prices. Dundrum is no different and I find no difference between this cinema and the next. Its box office is badly positioned and only has two people working in it so you always have to queue...

I was a big fan of the one in Dun Laoghaire and was delighted to here when this one opened around the corner. Unlike the one in Dun Laoghaire you should always get a table here as it is a much bigger premises becuase of this the atmosphere suffers slightly. There is a wide variety of burgers fro...

Glencullen Golf Club

Glencullen Golf Club Golf · Glencullen

3.0 on August 25th, 2008

A 9 hole course with great views of the surrounding Dublin/Wicklow Mountains and Dublin Bay. This course is great value with a round costing as little as €18. It is usually pretty easy to get your name on the timesheet (avoid Saturday and Sunday mornings members time). Glencullen has a great vari...

Tulfarris Golf Resort

Tulfarris Golf Resort Golf · Blessington

3.0 on August 22nd, 2008

As you can imagine for a course based on a peninsula, water features come into play in many of the holes. There are some excellent Par 3's and it would be hard to find three finishing holes with such variety. The Clubhouse is adequate although a bit of a building site at the moment. The staff a...
