Simply the best Butchers in Dublin and always ready with a bit of advice and some chat.

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 ...

D'Orphan a Ballymoney institution. Currently its only open at the weekends and without Sky Sports not a place for a big match, but hell its got atmosphere with the best karaoke this side of Courtown every Saturday night. All Ages are catered for from 12 to 80 !!. The food is typical pub grub ther...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
