The worldwide phenomenon that is Pokémon Go has well and truly taken hold in Dublin, and local businesses should really try and get in on that action – just like the White Moose Café has.
The Phibsborough brunch spot (which is known for pancakes and courting controversy) is a Pokéstop in the world of Pokémon Go, meaning a location where players can find loot for their pocket monsters, like Pokéballs, snacks and medicines (you can find the full lowdown on the game here).
After getting hooked on the game, owner Paul Stenson announced this week that the café would be offering discounts to players who stop by.
Ok guys. I’m getting very excited about this Pokémon Go. Other businesses are giving out about it, telling you to get out of their kitchen etc. We say BRING IT ON. We are not a gym, we are just a #Pokestop, but I am going to buy a shitload of lures when the app is launched here in Ireland and have different discounts in the café for each team while the lures are active.

P.S. I knew nothing about #PokemonGo a few hours ago.

The sun was shining, the ribbon was cut, and the tarmac was freshly poured – all was ready to go when I queued up among plenty of eager visitors to be one of the first to try out Emerald Park’s two new roller coasters, Na Fianna Force and The Quest. The two rides are part […]
The problematic portal opened back up on North Earl this week, and although we’re glad to see at least one Dublin project come to fruition (unlike the ones below), it seems everyone is still scratching their heads trying to figure out why exactly we need it. Whether you’re a lover or a hater of the infamous […]
