Some traffic delays are unavoidable – but some aren’t. And that’s definitely the case this afternoon, as an otherwise innocuous breakdown on an M50 off-ramp near the Red Cow Roundabout has led to delays stretching all the way back to the previous junction?

This one goes out to anyone fond of pizza and/or booze… Which, let’s be honest, are two of life’s greatest pleasures, really. The Yarn is the sister restaurant of The Woollen Mills (see the connection?), and has taken over the first floor of the premises, balcony and all, with a completely different gourmet pizza-based menu and cocktail list.  We haven’t […]

Everyone is a little but Pokémon Go-obsessed at moment. While we technically don’t have access to the app yet, lots of sneaky humans have managed to trick the Google Play Store into thinking they’re elsewhere. And it’s proving to be very fun altogether… Okay so this is VERY fun! #PokemonGO pic.twitter.com/LZIpfRWWPZ — Graeme (@DameGrowling) July 6, 2016 i am […]

Dear hard working citizens of the world, you get one hour for lunch if you’re lucky. You want to spend the majority of that hour sampling Dublin’s food scene, rather than pondering where to go and waiting in queues.  Capel Street is a thriving hub of activity, both of the work and food variety; so we’re here to marry the two.

If there’s one thing that long Irish summer days mean, it’s that the dog days are far from over my friends. Whether it’s wet or dry outside, you’ll find pooches being carted around for their evening constitutional one way or another.  If you can’t commit to a dog in the city, then there’s only one […]

Dublin just thinks it’s so great with its Spire, and the Liffey and Bunsen burgers doesn’t it?  The capital is always boasting about all the best brunches and tacos and pulled pork. But what about other places across the country? There are plenty of amazing things outside of The Pale, and Galway is home to […]

Last month we told you that Charlotte Quay would soon open in Grand Canal Dock.  And we can now say that it’s officially open and ready for business.  It’s owned by the Bereen brothers, who are behind Coppinger Row, and if the food and cocktails there are anything to go by – we are very excited for this […]

There’s something about buying Irish that’s just so much more special than heading into Topshop or Brown Thomas for your bits.  This stellar designer pop-up only launched last week, so there’s still plenty of gems to be found. And they’re offering up to 70% off, depending on the designer, and you can be guaranteed excellent quality with […]

Shit happens. And sometimes we screw up in a big way. It may seem like they’ll never speak to you, ever again.  But I would strongly advise you to try the following – as someone that can hold a good grudge, I can guarantee you that these would melt my cold heart. 1.
