It wasn’t somewhere you’d go for craft beer, and a steak sandwich with triple-cooked fries served out of a welly… and that’s precisely why we loved it. But as of some point last week, Fallon’s – the snug little bar on New Row South in Dublin 8 that specialised in excellent Guinness and even better […]

I’ve absolutely no doubt that the article I wrote a couple of years ago about Matcha helped the legal green cocaine take off here in the capital. The main supplier into the country has told me as much, and while you only used to be able to get a cup in just a few shops […]

It’s a well known rule in the game of love: the location you choose for the first date will make or break you. After all, it’s the first in a string of crappy decisions that your date will use to judge your potential – and one wrong move and you’re done for. So to prepare […]

Craft beer is all well and good, but this one takes the biscuit. A pub in Wellington, New Zealand is soon to launch a “milked” stout that contains stag semen.
