Crescent Sports

Crescent Sports Fishing & Shooting · Monkstown

4.0 on January 22nd, 2012

Had reason to visit this little shop on the Crescent in Monkstown. The owner's knowledge on everything shooting is very good and he's actually interested in what you want to get/do and how he can help with advice etc., which makes a big difference when you're not really sure what you're talking a...

4.0 on January 17th, 2012

I went here on Saturday for a late lunch. It's a relaxed atmosphere and the staff were all nice and friendly. The food and service were good too which made for a good spot to spend a few lazy hours. I had their fish and chips in beer batter with pee puree etc and it was fantastic. Coffee was dece...

Cheap rolls. €3 for one meat and two other fillings. No extra charge for butter ;)

Not a new discovery for me but I've only recently started going regularly, so now's the time to write! I've never been here on an 'off' day. I've never been here on an off hour. The place is always packed, probably helped by the fact that it's tiny - there can only be seating for about 25 people ...

La Gondola

La Gondola Italian · Dublin

4.0 on September 9th, 2011

Was in here recently with a RateMyArea voucher. The food was decent (tasty chicken wings to start and pizza for a main), the place was alive with people (we had to wait 10 mins for a table to come free) and the staff were friendly and accomodating. When it was time to pay the bill they had under-...

Someone brought me here to try it the other day for a lunch takeaway - and I have only one regret. I didn't get enough. They have a load of different panino that I assume are the usual types (parma, rocket, pesto, etc) but I got a slice of pizza instead as it looked so good. I spent most of my lu...

Elephant & Castle

Elephant & Castle American · Temple Bar

4.0 on August 5th, 2011

Was in here on a Friday evening recently and have to say the food was good. I started with their famed spicey chicken wings, washed down by some nice German beers (which helped cool the furnace). Then I had a tasty tasty burger for my main. The staff were quick and friendly, and the prices were p...

Londis

Londis Convenience Stores · Dublin

4.0 on June 28th, 2011

Cheap, cheap sandwiches. Small shop packed with the usual newsie stuff, with the exception of cheap freshly made sandwiches. Not at the gourmet end of the scale, but for the price they can't be beat. Spar on Nassau Street give it a go, but their bottom line isn't in the same ball park. Well it is...

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'...

Rasam

Rasam Indian · Dun Laoghaire

4.0 on April 20th, 2011

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.

Woods Bistro

Woods Bistro European · Roundwood

4.0 on April 5th, 2011

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 · Dublin

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".

Dandelion Café Bar

Dandelion Café Bar Pubs & Bars · Dublin

4.0 on March 21st, 2011

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...

Venu Brasserie

Venu Brasserie European · Dublin

5.0 on March 14th, 2011

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...

4.0 on February 28th, 2011

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...
