Our amazing city has more restaurants, pubs and clubs you could shake a stick at. But unfortunately, some of them have to close. And when that happens, oh boy, it really hurts. Like really, really hurts. And we’ve lost some good ones in the past few years… 1. District 8 This was just an unreal […]

Dublin 8 is such a spot. This historic area in Dublin has a special place in my heart for its old Dublin charm, the sound of horses clip-clopping down cobblestone streets and the incredible culture surrounding it. Made up of Dolphin’s Barn, Inchicore, Islandbridge, Kilmainham, Merchants Quay, Portobello, South Circular Road, the Phoenix Park (bet you […]

One of the best shifts we’ve seen in the Dublin food scene as of late is the warm welcome to our furry friends. It started in trendy pubs and bars such as The Bernard Shaw, The Gravediggers and Frank Ryans and now it’s passed on amongst hip Dublin cafés. For dog owners, meeting for brunch […]

Finding a good sandwich is an essential part of city living. You need to find that special place that can satisfy your lunch needs when they are at an all time high. Sometimes that soggy shredded lettuce you bought for 49c in the supermarket down the road just wont do for lunch and you crave […]

Demanding booking systems are the biggest thing in Dublin restaurants these days as far as I can see. I’ve been waging war with several online ones of late which I have to admit has seen me get very cranky along with my usual hangry. Admittedly most of the systems are in place for quite sensible […]

The much loved Sunday market was on hiatus since May 2018.

Us Dubs know all too well how the heavens tend to open and pour down endlessly on us every so often. If you’re missing the sun and feeling stuck for something to do, don’t forget that Dublin has loads of free stuff to do when Mother Nature is treating us less favourably. Natural History Museum […]

If you haven’t guessed already I’m Lovin living in Dublin. Problem is, often times when you’re working and living in a city, you don’t get to see much of it. Think about it, when you’re travelling, you go to all efforts to see everything the destination has to offer. When you’re home, you tend to […]

Brunch in Dublin has been needing a firm kick up the arse for a long time now. The offering in recent years has veered between overwrought or underwhelming with little in between. With the introduction of the bottomless Prosecco offers, brunch in the capital has steadily devolved into an up-market dystopian nightmare with shakey drunks […]

As Friday comes to an end, I started thinking to myself “what are my weekend plans?” It was my first weekend since taking on Dry January and I actually didn’t have much on, which at first I thought was a blessing in disguise. No major weekend plans = easier to stick with Dry January, […]

If your head is anything like mine after the Christmas break, even if you’re not doing Dry Jan, you’ll definitely want to stay off the sauce this weekend. In saying that, we need to get out and enjoy ourselves. Whether it’s to get fit, feel fresh again or to simply keep you entertained, I will […]
