What this cafe lacks in comfort it makes up for in charm and the friendliness of the staff. Not a bad coffee either!

If your stuck for anything in the west of wicklow this store has it all.... even an ATM, a rare thing for this end of the country!

Has great selection of food, drinks and some locally produced stuff too.

This is a gem of a place to stop off for a coffee in Dublin's city center and it is also one of the liveliest venues in town. Coffee made and served by "The best" barrista in Ireland (and one of the best in the world!).
Not only is it the best value coffee in Dublin it is probably the best you'l...

This place is pretty dead. It's been done up pretty nicely but needs to get the punters in to get a bit of an atmosphere.

Food is grand and price is reasonable enough.

Check it out after a Leinster game for it at its best!

High: Location, decor and free wifi!
Low: Atmosphere, hotel guests!

If you're looking for one of the best quality and best value pizzas in Dublin you've come to the right place. Although you can get panninis, pastas and numerous other mediterranean dishes, it's the pizzas that get people coming back for more. Only problem can be the lunchtime rush as if you haven...

This place can fix anything to do with watches at a large discount to a jewellery store. I've used it for watch strap repairs and to buy button batteries for watches and bicycle computers and the cost has been very low compared to others prices in the city.
Highs: quality and price
Lows: Very d...

The lobby has the best sandwich in this part of the planet!

Comes with a tasteful bit of salad and shoelace chips (for those (un)health consious out there).

Best recommeded pre-cinema snack if going to Savoy or even Cineworld or Screen.

5 out of 5
and 10 out of 10 if it was possible!

I don't think this store could be any better. It's got everything a store, smaller than most peoples bedrooms, could ask for.
You want a fresh, quality coffee or tea, it's here. It does wines, fresh fruit and veg, fresh breads for all tastes a...

This place (i might be a bit biased) is great for the early birds but the pizza is the best in town!
Best tried after a good swim in the 40 foot on a sunday, book table to avoid being disappointed :-)

Alas, this Borza's is no more.

Building knocked and awaiting development!

Tried this place out this week.
We tried the earlybird and it has to be said the service was very good.
The choice of food wasn't vast but if you go a la carte it does give a good variety of food.
Would probably go again but there are equally good places close by so competition is good.

Classy seafront hotel in easy reach of everything Eastbourne has to offer.
Highs: Library, bar, lobby
Lows: Can be pricey, a bit old school

A great hotel but some of the rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. The spa on the upper floor is also in need of a bit of a revamp in places but the view from the outdoor Canadian hot tub is worthwhile.

Located on Eyre Square it's location close to the heart of Galway is unbeatable...

Good food and good atmosphere means this place is worth a visit if in Galway and wanting a bite to eat. Pricey for a few of the items but location can't be beat.

One of Ireland's most historic landmarks is definietly worth a visit, even if it is only to buy stamps!

This is a great place for young and old alike!
Everyone will learn something new from this interactive museum. It also holds free special seminars for students, academics and the general public. It's worth signing up on line to join the forums and recieve a free membership card which gives a 10...

For one of the best places for tea/coffee or even a glass of vino, check out this place. Its athmosphere is always lively and the only trouble can be finding a table. Prices reasonable for the area and the decor is very fitting for such a historic building. Some nice art work also worth checking ...

This pub has improved greatly since its revamp. Extortionate prices have given way to sensible prices that make it more student accessible. Food was good but seems to have stopped being open at lunchtime. Great spot if you want to escape the packed athmosphere of Pav or Kennedys.

What ever you're looking for food wise this place has it all. Lots of variety and cheap as chips. Mix of turkish, italian, mexican, irish, asian, bagel-ian and fish and chips.
Highs: Sushi for under a tenner.
Lows: Finding a seat when busy.

The Shelbourne is renowned for being one of Dublin's top hotels. Its recent revamp means more bars and choice. The restaurant is expensive but the quality of food reflects this. While not a place for (the average) student to hang out, its cocktails mean there is a good mix of young and old.

this golf course is close to town and has a legendary club house. definitely worth giving it a go if you like a challenge on the course.
highs: great staff, tough course, caddy cars!
lows: v hilly, the rough, finding the place!

Rathsallagh is hidden in the hills of west wicklow with scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The course is great value at present and there are plenty of deals available for tee times online or by calling the course. If you go don't miss the club house special burger!

If ever a college needed a decent sports centre it was TCD. After years of students paying for a decent college sports centre it has finally arrived (though not quite as large as origionally planned!).

Its major pluses include a fantastic pool and decently equiped gym with very helpful staff. ...

As libraries go, this is as good as it gets for college folk. Although it does involve the least memorable memories from college the Trinity libraries are still one of the most used facilities in the college. For all those final year students out there, you'll be seeing alot of these so chose y...

This historic park is great for a lazy day (weather permitting). Just opposite the Dublin City Gallery (aka Hugh Lane), this park mixes water, greenery and granite into a fusion of modern landscaping with a twist. It was built in memory of Ireland's freedom fighters.

With free internet access and free printing (within reason!) this facility is much used by students and other peple alike. It has a vast range of environmental literature and can help children with environmental related projects up to proffessors in environmental managment.

This is a new hair stylists first venture in Dublin and it looks great (as you will after trying it out!)

Cineworld is one of the largest cinemas in Ireland and has plenty of screens for all tastes. It also has a bar and a decent selection of food for cinema. Booking is recommended for new releases and weekends.

One of Dublins best kept secrets for Modern and Impressionist art. The current full collection of the bequest from sir hugh Lane is on show now for the first time with impressionist classics instantly recognisable.
Try out the cafe/restaurant if you've time.
Highlight: Francis Bacon room

Biggest screen is excellent for epic movies. Popcorn so-so but worth it for the screen sizes. Can be quite warm if cinema is full but well worth a visit. Also check out the Gresham hotel for food before hand as a tasty treat!

Great modern Irish cuisine with a twist. Originally a book store, converted into a restaurant. Very busy most nights so booking ahead is recommended.
Try the: Mussels!
Avoid: turning up without a reservation!
