Ah the grange. Ya lil cutie, you :)…read more The only reason I've been here is because my nana is obsessssssed with it. That should be a clue in itself of what the place is like. "Will we go out for lunch?" "Sure nana, where?" "The grange for a quick carvery" Standard nana, but in fairness to her small and picky appetite, It's so perfect for her. The carvery is actually quite delicious. Classic Irish pub roast dinner carvery, but they do it very well. It's very decent value, for good qual grub. The do half portions also which are soooo perfect for elderly, or if ur Tryna go easy on the carbs. Interior is quite depressing, old pub style. Every time I've been in ther I have been at least 30years younger than anyone, Barr the staff. I wouldn't be grabbing all me mates and running down to the grange, but for a lunch with the grandparents it's perfecttttt!

Naturally, the tickets being free, we assumed it would be shit and spent the day wandering around all the brilliant, equally free, street performances. How wrong we were.

It's a funny feeling, knowing you probably just missed the best gig you'll ever attend. Still, they were a great two songs.

Which I think is the highest form of flattery. They usually have the odd acoustic set downstairs, with louder gigs and a club upstairs. It wouldn't be my first choice for a night out though, as it's empty midweek. The smoking areas, both up and downstairs are excellent. This is a great night out just waiting for the right promoter to come along and fill the place.

Located in the residential streets of Booterstown, the Old Punch Bowl is quintessential Dublin pub:…read morecharming, historic, and full of character. The exterior has that classic brick-and-wood look you'd expect, hinting at a cozy, timeless space inside. Once you step in, low ceilings, vintage décor, and warm wood tones create a welcoming, traditional pub atmosphere, as football matches play on TV screens overhead, and the fireplace crackles in the corner. It's lively but not overwhelming, with chatter and music that feel proper for drinks and casual dining. At 8:30pm on a Friday night, our party of ten wanted a traditional Irish pub dinner (our first in the country). The pub was about ¾ full, but with some clever table rearrangement from the flexible waitstaff, we were able to be immediately seated. The menu is classic pub fare (fried appetizers and hearty entrees) - food and drinks aren't cheap by American standards, but given the ambiance, it hits the expected value. I ordered their Beef & Guinness Pie (€23.50), which is a hearty beef stew topped with a flaky piece of puff pastry. The dish comes with fries, though they were more than willing to substitute a salad at no additional cost; the salad tasted fresh, although I think it had a bit too much mayonnaise. The stew itself was warming and perfect for a chilly January night, with huge chunks of lean yet tender beef, simmered vegetables, and a savory broth with a hint of that classic Guinness flavor. I wish the puff pastry on top were flakier and less flat, though it was tasty when dipped in the stew. While it's a steep price for a pub entree, it's an incredibly large portion that I could barely finish, with a generous helping of meat. Another delicious dish was their Beer Battered Cod & Chips (€23.50), consisting of an expertly-fried large piece of cod with a perfectly-crispy exterior, chips, salad, and mushy peas. Their chips are thick-cut with a crunchy skin, yet tender, soft interior, and great when paired with their tangy, mayonnaise-based sauce. This is a lovely spot for generously-portioned pub fare in the charming neighborhood of Booterstown, and I'm more than willing to pay a premium for its fun, laid-back atmosphere, fast and friendly service, and tasty dishes; we'll certainly be returning to attend one (or more) of their various themed nights!
