Nothing helps the work week go by that bit quicker than a few midweek events to help you through. Living in Dublin’s fair city, we’re positively spoiled for choice when it comes to finding things to do. But sometimes there’s so much to choose from that we end up doing the same old things every […]

There’s nothing better than a good glass of vino and nothing worse than a disappointing one. I can sometimes be wary of ordering wine in bars for this reason. When my heart is longing for a crisp, tangy glass I have to go to one of my few handpicked venues that I know won’t fail […]

The weekend is fast approaching and the main thing on our bucket list is a steamy bag of fluffy chipper chips of a Friday evening. Laced with salt and vinegar, of course.
