No argument from this quarter on any of those.
How about part II...
Doran's, Dice Bar, Sin É, the Swan, Whelans, Bankers, Foggy Dew to name a few. Could become a publication this.
They may appear in the 2010 version. I have, quite bizarrely for me, never been to Sin É.
O'Neills carvery...mmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, nice sandwiches too, but the place is too full of people I wouldn't have back in the flat.
Excellent description of O'Neill's. It's all corridors.
Sin É is what happens when student interior designers are given a budget for a trendy sports bar.
Holemaster - Cavernous for cavernous' sake.
Maxi Cane - I'll not bother if that's the case.
Peter's Pub - Nobody has ever met Peter.
I have met Peter on a very many occasion, a fine gent he is too and his grandson Peter is pulling pints there now.
(Stupid Ovak, rubbishing me...)
Thanks for the comment, Ovak.
(Fuckin' Ovak...)
Your welcome Radge and when I get the chance or the inclination I will pick more holes in your pub guide.
The guide is sacrosanct, Ovak, but work away. I look forward to your evaluation.
Why not takle a trip to John Kavanaghs, The Grave Diggers in Glasnevin? the locals are friendly..almost.
