However, whenever I travel internationally, I always look forward to trying new snacks that are not available in the United States. So I did find some Doritos flavors at Spar that i hadn't seen anywhere else during my time in Dublin. It's a fully stocked store with an array of items from chips, candy, and cookies to an assortment of grab&go sandwiches and instant ramen. This location is nestled on the corner of a busy, crowded street. No self-checkout. You have to pay at the register. The customer service was a bit lackluster.

Spar is basically like a quickie mart…read more This is a great place to load up on snacks and beverages if you need them. We hit the Spar to have stuff in our hotel room, for when we get hungry between meals. And the Spar did just that! They also sell random things that you might run out of on your trip. Great spot to replenish your essentials! You can't beat the open 24 hours convenience!

They recently did the place up and expanded into the premises next door; now they have a shiny new deli and a comfy sit-down/cafe area. My only real issue with this place is that I have gone in there a number of times looking for something only to find that they have run out or just don't stock it. For example. they sell hotdogs but they don't stock hotdog buns at all.

Their deli is very impressive, their wraps, sandwiches, salads are very fresh and good value. They also make fresh pizzas, but I haven't tried them yet. They have an ATM at the back of the store, but this is often out of service, but there is an outdoor ATM just up the road a little (a minute's walk or less). They've got groceries, off-license, newspapers/magazines, lottery, almost anything you could want, but I wouldn't do a full weekly shop here! They are open 24 hours, which adds a star for me!

It has a large shop which has everything from cards to groceries. The shop is a bit haphazard with stock and shelving in the middle of the floor but it makes for a more homely feel to the shop. Everywhere has gotten so clinical and uninviting but this place is fine. There is also a cafe attached on to the right of the shop but for some strange reason it never seems to be open? I see signs saying coffee and sandwiches for sale, and a smoothie bar but the other day at 3.30 in the afternoon it was closed. The staff are pleasant and have always had a smile when i was there even if they don't speak perfect english. I prefer pleasant over bored faces any day.

What they may not be aware of is that P&P Barry, as well as being one of the smallest newagents in Dublin, sells all manner of pipe paraphernalia. This tiny, wedge shaped shop with standing room for three at the limit sells all the confectionaries, papers and soft drinks you'd expect. On top of this, they have a window display chock-a-block with every conceivable cigar or pipe accessory I could think of. Though I have yet to ask, I would imagine this probably means they also stock a wider range of tobacco than elsewhere. So four stars for P&P Barry's for being tiny and catering to the dying breed of pipe smokers out there. [Brian P in no way condones any type of smoking, excluding kippers and parma ham.]

It kind of makes you feel like your actually supporting something or someone! kinda like the ol "buy irish" thing I suppose!

Do i just look gullible or something? I dont agree with under age smoking why will i support there habit! i often feel like going in to the shop to warn the worker in there but then i always fear that i will have some little kid with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth ready to hassle me when i come back out if i do.... damn kids ruining my newspoint experience!

The Chinese people who work here are very nice and efficient as well. If you come here often enough (I used to live around the block) they'll remember you and your daily order. Another great thing about this place is the night time hatch. Late into the night, On the Run stays open but you need to order through a speaker and collect your purchase from a hatch. Although the night time staff can be a little difficult. On several different occasions, one worker pretended not to have a specific chocolate bar or nacho chip when I could see the item through the shop window. I suppose this guy's impatience stems from dealing with a lot of drunk customers.
