    Being a Galway girl I feel bad giving this place a bad review, but it really is complete and utter crap. Like most people I am only ever in here when waiting on a train, and now I don't even bother going in. I'd rather sit on one of the hard, metal, uncomfortable chairs in the waiting area of the station. It's just a bar really with crap food.

    I would only ever drink in here if I was waiting on a train, no other reason to hang around. It's pricey and the food is unspectacular. Thankfully the bartenders are a handsome lot. That reminds me of an interesting fact that some of you may find useful. If you are the type that craves a drink on Good Friday then come here. In Ireland you can't buy alcohol on Good Friday but oddly you can purchase it on a train... We really are a wonderful little country.

    Ah Brady's, Terenures busiest and most well known local. Another establishment I might as well have…read moreshares in I've spent so much time in the place over the years. Now theres nothing at all flashy about Brady's, which is kinda the point. This is no superpub. Its very much a local. Having said that its always busy and got a great buzz, with most of the local punters and older folks heading into the side bar. A refurb a couple of years borough the lounge up to date. The back room was opened up and the snugs taken out. Its modern and spacious and never feels too packed. The front room is a bit more lively and always busy on Friday and Saturday nights. This being south Dublin, expect to find the place wedged on a match day especially if Leinster are playing. Great for a pint any day of the week, or on your way out somewhere else on a weekend night.

    I have decided that part of being a grown up is having a local, and although Bradys is not the…read moreclosest pub to me I have chosen to bestow the dubious honor of Aoifes local in this establishment! Bradys is actually 3 pubs in one, with a lounge part, a trad area and a kinda more pub section, with a huge part covered smoking area. Food is served and I've enjoyed anything I've ever ordered, even tho I've had a burnt mouth one or twice! Blow on the food people, blow! They also have quirky evenings, including a chess night and a free Thursday quiz, really making the effort to keep patrons coming back, and I for one will continue to do so!
