We’re saying hello to some new restaurants and shops, and goodbye to a few cult faves.
There have been a lot of Dublin openers to buzz over, and unfortunately some very sad closures as well. While we say goodbye to cult favourite spots in Crumlin and Tallaght, we say hello to a few new foodie spots in the heart of Dublin, as well as two new vintage stores, and the opening of the third largest Penneys in Ireland.
If you’ve missed some of the hospitality headlines this week, we’re here to catch you up.
35 Vintage
Opener
Dublin’s wealth of vintage stores is slowly but surely growing, and always welcome in the city centre. Which is why we were delighted to see Mayo store Thirty Five Vintage have recently opened a Dublin branch on Fade Street.

Wobble
Opener
Former Dublin GAA footballer Philly McMahon, who also co-owns the ready-meal brand NutriQuick, has opened a new brunch spot in Finglas. The café has a very apt name, Wobble, as its speciality are soufflé pancakes.

Fooderia
Opener
Perhaps the most exciting opener of the month is Fooderia, a sexy bakery that’s just opened on Capel Street.
What is served at a sexy bakery you may ask? Well, to put it plainly, pastries in the shape of dicks and vaginas.

The Big Smoke Vintage
Opener
If there’s something that Dublin has a wealth of, it’s vintage stores. Fans of rooting around for their fashion are spoiled for choice in the city centre, with shops such as Tola Vintage, Nine Crows, and Dublin Vintage Factory, to name but a few.
Well now there’s a new spot open the next time you embark on a vintage store pilgrimage around Dublin – The Big Smoke Vintage in Temple Bar. This the second vintage shopping opener of the month.

Closure

Mulligan’s
Closure
Mulligan’s pub is a key part of the Sandymount landscape for locals. Opening in 2007, it had been a staple for the community, streaming the biggest sports matches and serving delicious pub grub for 16 years.
Sadly their time in Sandymount came to a close earlier this month; Mulligan’s quietly closed their doors to make way for a new opener – The Chophouse.
