As Irish people, there are two things we love more than anything else in the world
A drink or two, and a bargain. As most of us know, these two things aren’t usually conducive – we all know the feeling of heading out for “just the one” and end up spending the bulk of our wages in one whirlwind evening. This is where bottomless brunch comes in. It’s all-inclusive, so no need to worry about bankrupting yourself. All you need to focus on is getting a cute outfit together and you’re good to go. Haven’t been to your favourite brunch spot in a while, and wondering if it still has a bottomless option? We’ve got you covered with this handy list.
