I returned to this place last night for one or two and was surprised by the new layout. It has…read morechanged from before it looks clean and modern its half restaurant and half pub now new tables and areas to have a drink in very well done its very open but there is private areas too. The staff are very friendly but they still have the same old bouncers with will give some of the people who come to this place before and had a horrible time because of them a bitter taste towards the place they need to replace them so the place has a whole new feel. I haven't eaten here yet but after leaving the place in another pub we got talking to a couple and they couldn't stop talking about the restaurant and the food in the penny hill speaks for itself I suppose very cheap and tasty I didn't give it 5 stars because I haven't eaten here yet and the bouncers are the old ones from before and I've had a horrible experience with them so that stopped me from giving it 5 stars but i will return soon

Eat here 2 weeks ago. Had heard it was good and quite similar to carrolls in Lucan village. It was…read morenothing like it the place was jam packed I ordered Cajun chicken and partner ordered beef I have to say it was just ok nothing special. The Cajun was way too spicy for me and the chips were ridiculously big. Wouldn't be rushing back.

The Grasshopper Inn is one of the nicer pubs around Clonee & Blanchardstown with a good Carvery and…read moregreat outdoors space. On a sunny Sunday afternoon it is the ideal place to relax, have a pint in the sunshine and get some good mummy style dinner from the Carvery. My fav is the roast beef with tons of mash and cabbage. If you are not in the mood for Carvery, they also offer Bar food. The Sandwiches are nice (especially the trippel decker Club Sandwich) but the other dishes on the menu are nothing extraordinary and something on the slightly bland site. If you are in the mood for a pint on a sunny day and look for a pub with great outdoors space, this is where you should go if you are near Clonee.

Barbecue burger with smoky bacon was beautiful, came with a lovely crunchy salad and humongous home made thick cut chips. The wife had a 7 oz sirloin steak which came on the stone and was lovely as well. My little one had spaghetti bolognaise, a fruit juice and ice cream for desert all for €6.50 which I thought was very good value. Will be going back for sure.

Mmmm, spicy buffalo wings! That's the first thing I associate with the Carpenter, because they do…read moregreat wings, but the rest of the food isn't that nice. The pub is right behind a 37 busstop, so it's easy to get to and perfect for a wee break when you're waiting for the bus yet again. The Carpenter has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the staff are nice and efficient. It's a lovely spot for a few quiet pints in the evening, but if you want to have something to eat- apart from the wings- this is probably not the pub for you.

This is one of the most random pubs I have been to in a long time. The place is massive. When you…read morewalk in you are greeted by this wonderful fire. If only that was in the main pub rather than the hall, it would be amazing. The pub has loads of great little nooks and crannys spread out over 2 floors. You could easy get lost in here. But its the kind of place that you might have a chance at finding a free table, if you go searching. I have heard they also do a great Sunday Carvery, but I have not given that a go just yet. Watch the stairs, I did see someone fall down them, stairs and alcohol are not the best combo!

We made a reservation same day for 8 people and were pleasantly surprised. The place was pretty big, unlike a typical pub. It has high ceilings, very clean and did not smell like cigarettes. We loved the christmas decor and big christmas tree! We were served right away, our server was very nice, she even moved our seats because it was too close to the band and we would've been squished. The food was also excellent! Furthermore, we spent less than 100 euros for a full meal for 8 people which was fantastic! Would totally go back when I'm in dublin again, great for family meals!

Aaaand should the Sam Maguire ever make it back to Mayo, we should return and celebrate with Sean!

Sunny Day Central…read more Nothing beats sitting in a beer garden on a Sunday in Ireland. Absolutely nothing! Except maybe sitting in a beer garden on a Sunday in Ireland on the water. Now that takes some beating. McEvoys is one of those places that is just made for one of those ultra-rare-not-a-cloud-in-the-sky days. Set right on the canal just outside of Celbridge is this gorgeous pub. Full of walkers who have come along the canal on a stroll with their dogs plus lots of locals and even some lucky houseboat owners. The mood is always friendly and jovial, with an atmosphere that's second to none. Here you will find: - A pre-pint walk along the canal - A load of benches with a view of the boats and the water - A super cosy and comfy bar inside if it gets a tad chilly in the evening (you know it will!) - A great pint of the black stuff - A dog friendly bar To be honest, whether it's raining or shining, I'd still recommend this spot. Gwan the outskirts!

Just home from having dinner here with my other half…read more The menu here is HUGE. I can sometimes find it hard to find something on a menu that I like however the menu was that vast I couldn't decide between a number of dishes. I opted for the vol au vents with chicken, bacon and mushrooms in a white wine sauce which also came with a side of chips. The other half order the BLT and chessey bacon chips. We also ordered a side of battered onion rings. We could have done without the sides as neither of us finished our meals as the portions were so big. My other half also ordered warm apple pie with ice cream for dessert (I don't know how but he managed to finish every bit). All this plus a coke and one pint cost less than €40. So reasonable but yet the food was soo good! The layout is nice as they have some little cubby areas to sit away from people watching the big screans. All the staff were soo friendly, we had a laugh and a joke with them! There is parking in the back of the pub however it only facilates a small number of cars and you need to ask for a permit to pop in your window. Overall really impressed and looking forward to going back.

I work in Leixlip from time to time and when I am there and looking for a good carvery lunch, Murphys is the best spot in town. The staff is always attentive and the food is always good. The one thing I think that separates Murphys from other carverys is the fact they always have four or more types of meat to choose from. You are not limited to pork loin, roast beef, or whatever a normal carvery is having that day. They always offer roast beef, pork loin, and turkey crown everyday, so you can always be sure to have something you haven't had already that week. They are also right down the road from HP and Intel, so for those of us who work in Leixlip or find themselves on-site there its pretty handy sure.

It seems so long ago…read morethat I remember having my first pint there in what seemed, to a young man, like a dark outpost, far away from all civilisation. It was not without it's charms. Today, or post refurbishment, the pub has managed to remain a classic pub, retaining all the values things that made it and make it so good. The Guinness is among the tastiest in Dublin. The staff are great. Dropping pints down to you, clearing tables and asking "How's the father?" In top of this, there's never (excluding the rare band appearance) loud music playing. The only thing you have to talk over is the sound of other folk, having the best conversation they've had all week. So do yourself a favour. Call up that friend you're about to lose touch with, and get down to the Alley.
