As part of a new series on Lovin Dublin, we’re catching up with a various selection of prominent, sound city folk to talk all things Dublin, food (obviously) and a bit about themselves too. We thought better than to rendezvous in some stuffy hotel room but rather, given the theme of the website thus far, […]

We all love a good cocktail and unlike a few years ago where the choice was limited to shitty champagne Mojitos and crappy Sex on the Beach, the cocktail scene in the city is now exploding. Just like good coffee, quality sambos and food in general we are starting to be spoilt for choice. We […]

Last week we shared the top 7 places to eat chicken wings in Dublin and after a remarkable 10,000 shares on Facebook for that post alone we decided it was time to take on a much bigger subject…The best burger in Dublin. It is a subject that is close to many of our hearts and […]

Sometimes the restaurant scene in Dublin really fucking bores me. I mean we’ve made great strides since the celtic tiger with the recession bringing out the creative side in many and a return to good food, better ambience and more value for consumers.

No no, not that type of virgin, virgin cocktails. Being a non drinker in Ireland is a funny aul thing. People want to know if I’m up the duff, on antibiotics, very religious, Amish, the child of an alcoholic, in recovery myself, blah blah blah. I’m none of those things, I just don’t need alcohol […]

Having sky-rocketed to a level of international fame and acclaim, following her rousing words and viral videos on the subject of Ireland’s longstanding issues surrounding gay rights, an appearance on The Saturday Night Show that dominated our collective office conversation for the weeks that followed, few are as worth watching in Dublin as drag queen […]

You may not have won our TGIF competition on Friday just gone, a prize that’d put an end to all those sleepless nights over Mother’s Day worries (no but really, if you lost sleep over this you should really get out more), but fear not, there’s still time and there’s plenty of options. So you […]
