    Egg Sandwich and Ham & Cheese Sandwich.
    Cindy Z.

    First of all, I can see how easily lost one can get trying to find this lounge. Let me try to help you out --it's between security check. Yup, right inbetween all the security and screening machines. Look for an elevator that will take you upstairs to the lounge. If you see signs that show a U-turn, it's literally behind you. Hope that helps! When we first arrived, they were at capacity for Priority Pass members, so they told us to return an hour. We had a 5 hour layover at DUB airport, so no big deal. When we returned in an hour, they weren't as busy and checked us in. The lounge splits in half with both sides offering food and seating. The right side has more hot food items while the left side has the bar, but you can go back and forth as you wish. There was plenty of food options with prepackaged sandwiches, salads, wraps, and more. Plus, they had a few hot dishes like soups and stews along with pastries, dessert, and charcuterie. This was perfect since we had so much time here as we filled ourselves before our long flight.

    I've been to this lounge before using my priority pass, sometime last year. It has improved quite a bit since. The space is larger and there are more available seats, almost all with direct access to plugs. All chairs have comfy, colorful, upholstered backs for relaxing before your flight. The food situation is above average - fruits and cheeses, crackers and hummus, soup, salads, pound cake and pastries, and of course a wide selection of beverages (sodas, fancy coffee machine, ginger ale/tonic, beers and wines). Despite the foot traffic and size, it's a very quiet area. Attentive service and great amenities make this a great lounge to visit.

    Nice clean and spacious lounge with decent drink and snack selection. I spent a few hours in this lounge while awaiting my international flight and found it to be clean, quiet, and relaxing. They offered various snacks including cheese and crackers, soup, muffins, etc - as well as a diy bar for making your own mixed drinks. The servers were friendly and attentive, and they had flight information available on tv screens. If you've got some time to kill, this is much better than hanging in the main concourses.

    This lounge serves many different airlines (over a dozen) and it seems crowded and not very well kept. The food presentation is subpar compared to dedicated airline lounges. The bathroom also needs some TLC. Overall a nice place to get WiFi, a drink and a light snack. Maybe read the paper. That's about it.

    Having been here a few times in the last six months it's now time to give it a well deserved top review. It's one floor up from the security checks. The reception area is quite.cramped. The staff are consistently ace friendly, they keep the supplies topped up and keep the place very clean. There's WiFi and a tv screen advising flight departures and the check in staff announced flights. On the savoury side there's always a selection of cheese with pickle and a choice of crackers, and they routinely have my favourite blue cheese, any blue will do as well as wheaten bread, sandwiches and wraps. I got a darn good mushroom soup, a small bowl of tasty potato chips and an ace cappuccino too. So quality level is quite high. There's a full-size fridge housing canned soft drinks & fruit juices, it's not easy to bend right down to pick up the soft drinks on the bottom shelf. There's a full bar with bar service. There's still and sparking water on tap. There's a good choice of teas and plenty of sweet treats including brownies and shortcake.

    Cappuccino and curried nuts

    Nice little airport lounge located to the left, straightaway after you exit security. There's signage, but easy to miss as I walked past it and then had to turn around. The hostess at the entrance explained that drinks were to the left, while the food was located to the right. I went to the bar first and got myself a decent cup of cappuccino and a wonderful small bowl of curried nuts. Then headed to the right side of the lounge and food wise, it was a trio of sandwiches types - chicken salad, BLT and Onion Bhaji (it made me smile to think how throughly Indian food has made an impression in Ireland that no explanation is needed to explain what Onion Bhaji is, and the assumption is made that everyone will understand what food item is being talked about). There was also delicious malt cake, chips and a wonderful selection of crackers & cheese (the blue cheese was a clear winner in the taste department for me). Lots of good reading materials, including the Irish Times, was available near the check-in desk. My only two issues were that there weren't enough charging stations, and secondly that while lots of seating options, I personally would have preferred more proper dining option rather than the predominant easy chair types. Other than those two minor quibbles, it was good to be able to spend an easy relaxing couple of hours in this lounge before my flight. Yelp 124/ 2019

    Hubby and I were originally bummed out to find that the expensive Sky Club pass did not have a club in the airport. We had a really early flight and without some snacks and hydration, it can make for a long day! What I love about airlines in other countries is that they truly have great service.... unlike the American way of gauging for every last amenity. Upon check in, the lady asked us to check out their lounge, free of charge, due to my husband's status. I almost feel in love with her! The lounge was very cozy, and also very empty first thing in the morning! I love the fact they had sparkling water ON TAP! It was my ticket for hydration! They also had wonderful snacks and fruit! I glanced through the pictures while we were in the club, the lunch items look really yummy! They also have a fully stocked bar, so hubby and I had to do just one last nip of Jameson before heading home (that doesn help the hydration... but sometimes you just have to do it!). The snack that were offered included crackers, cheese (the cheese was top notch), pasteries (hubby loved the danishes with chocolate chips!)! I understand this place cost $30ish if you do not have a membership. It would be totally worth it as you could spend that on a simple sandwich and drink in the airport!

    Signage

    BMI's lounge, and therefore Star Alliance's lounge, in Terminal 1 of Dublin airport. Very good signage, the SkyTeam lounge is just across the hall. Set up as others in Europe I've been to, they have fridges full of sodas and beers, as well as self-service mixers and help-yourself spirits. Peanuts and chips available, as well as an automated latte/cappuccino/espresso coffee machine. A couple of TV's tuned in to the local and international news channels. Lots of seating space available, but during rush hour (17:00 to 18:00), the place fills to the brim. There are two 18:30 departures - one to London and one to Frankfurt, the two main Star Alliance hubs in Europe. Once they're gone, the place is a ghost town. Restrooms are outside, secured by a pin-lock door. Get the code from the receptionist.

    Exceptionally limited lounge, with basic seating and few food options. It is quiet, though, and fine for a short stay and quick drink.

    The restaurant was within walking distance of the hotel. There were many locals and families here…read moreenjoying their time here. I wasn't too hungry, so I just ordered the spicy chicken wings. The wings were quite small, maybe because I'm use to GMO wings. I enjoyed them enough though. I also enjoyed their fries.

    We stopped here, travel-weary, for a first dinner in Ireland. We ordered the roast beef with…read moreYorkshire pudding, peas, carrots and potatoes (fried whole and mashed) and the chicken curry with half rice and half chips. My friend ate a side of onion rings. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, very tender and juicy. It is pretty unsalted, which I like, but my friend said it wasn't enough. The side of rich, brown gravy made up for it adding the right amount of saltiness to the beef. Carrots and peas were a tad soft, but flavorful and good mashed potatoes. I wasn't wild about the whole fried ones. The Yorkshire pudding was pretty dreadful and seemed to be backed hours prior because it was rubbery and chewy. The chicken curry was good, a little sweet, but good amount of curry flavor. Chips and rice were great. The onion rings were good. Not stellar, not bad. Just solidly good! Guinea's was perfect in terms of being served at the right temp and they have half pints, which made me happy! This place was very, very loud. It was distractingly loud, but if you want sports and good beer, you are in the right spot. Lots of families with little ones for dinner. Service was good.
