If there’s one thing Dubliners have grown accustom to, it’s fantastic asian food. Thanks to the likes of Saba and their wonderful resident chef, Tao, we no longer have to travel far and wide for fantastic Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, with great restaurants popping up around the city, the food has finally come to us.

The whole city has gone absolutely brunch fucking mad. I remember the days a few years ago when Odessa was pretty much the only place in town that did a decent brunch menu and had a buzzing room.

So the Web Summit has been and gone. I hope you heard about it – how positive it is for Dublin, for Ireland, for entrepreneurs and local business. How the Taoiseach was there and rang the NASDAQ bell, how Eva Longoria ate her own body-weight in Tayto, how the Internet of things is the coming […]

The 7D cinema seemed to materialise from nowhere, fulfilling a need we never knew we had.

This Korean and Japanese gem has been a secret to many for a long time, but with more and more awards decorating the walls it seems most food lovers in the city are now wise to this spot.

The Dublin graffiti scene has exploded over the past few years, and Dublin is all the better for it – it adds a whole new dimesnion walking around town, never knowing what you might come across around every street corner.
