On these long summery (and not so summery) days in Dublin, we’ve been asking ourselves what activities can we get up to in the evening that won’t have us in bits for work tomorrow. So, we’ve compiled a list of fun things to do in the evening this month that won’t eat away at your […]

We’ve all done it. We’ve all regretted it. But deep down, we’ve all loved it. There really is nowhere quite like Coppers – and part of the Harcourt Street charm boils down to the sheer predictability of the playlist, particularly as the end of the night grows near. Whenever the hell that may be. Here […]

Irish weddings, as much as we go on about them, we bloody love them all the same. They have the sophistication of a grown-up Debs and and the gusto of a real life Tinder, as well as a rock-the-boat or two in between. Sure what more could you want? Here are 11 reasons why an […]

This year’s Olympics in Rio has gotten everything all aflutter, with Irish athletes doing tremendously, and Irish pride at an all-time high. But, this has gotten us thinking – what if the Games were held in Dublin? It’d be quite different altogether. That’s for sure. 1. Dustin would perform the opening ceremony And Irlande Douze […]

I’d consider myself quite familiar with McGuinness’ Traditional Take Away on Camden Street. As a young wan I’d pop in for some chips after a fun filled night in The Palace, and as I got that bit older I’d even call in for a slice of pizza after gettin’ the shift in Coppers. After all of The […]

The one night we decide not to go… RAGE. Ryan Tubridy, the O’Donovan brothers, Annalise Murphy, Michael Conlon and comedian, Al Porter, all hit up Coppers after The Late Late Show last night. And it looks like they had one heck of a night. Livin’ the dream lads… livin’ the dream. PICS: Thanks Al Porter for […]

Dublin has various historic landmarks, a plethora of literary geniuses to name drop, and a host of established universities. However, can you get a Belfast Bap down there? You bet your ballix you can’t. Here are a few things the Big Smoke doesn’t offer that the smaller, yet equally smoky, Belfast has got in its locker. 1. The […]

We thought the days of spending over the odds on a pint of beer were over – but it seems like they’re back with a bang. This receipt was sent in by Lovin Dublin reader Nigel, who said, “We had a great night in the Chelsea Drugstore, but wow, it’s not cheap!” Are you ready […]

The city is currently empty, leaving the unlucky ticketless sods among us with serious doses of FOMO, rage, envy, bitterness, anger, and whatever intense negative emotion you’re having yourself. HOWEVER. Every cloud, they say, has a silver lining – and for those of us who are manning the fort and keeping the city safe for […]

Being Irish is more a state of mind than a nationality. It’s the cups of tea, the Tuiseal Ginideach, the colcannon and flat 7-up for every ailment. We took to the streets of Dublin to ask the people of our city what it is that makes them proud to be Irish. And the results? We fell […]

If you don’t feel warm and fuzzy inside after watching that then there is something seriously wrong with you. The smiles, the moves, the characters – it’s all absolutely endearing. This rendition of the Macarena went down in Our Lady’s Hospice, and it ain’t half bad. This lot wouldn’t look amiss in Coppers with those […]

Ahhh Coppers… the home to some of the best, and most horrific, nights of our lives. And they’re already welcoming jersey-pullers with open arms ahead of today’s All-Ireland replay between Mayo and Dublin. To those unfamiliar with the term: a jersey-puller is a creature who gravitates towards jersey-wearing humans based on their GAA profile and capabilities, with clear intentions […]
