It’s been over 30 years since The Goonies gang unearthed One-Eyed Willy’s lost treasure in what has got to be one of the best movies of the ’80s. And guess what? It’s being screened in new hot-spot Token in Smithfield tonight and we are exciiiiited. As part of the gaming bar’s community events, the flick will be […]

First off, if you are one of those ridiculously lucky people who have both Good Friday and Easter Monday off work – we hate you. That aside, we still want to do our civic duty and make sure that you know all of the amazing things going on around the city this weekend so we’ve […]

Every week, we’ll look at a village along the Dart line and see what there is to do there for the day. Dalkey is where the other half lives. The place of €10m mansions, the area has a vibrant food scene so it’s definitely worth checking out. The village is also very picturesque. Start the day off in […]

Located in the basement of Cliff Townhouse on Stephen’s Green, you’re not likely to stumble upon Dublin’s most exciting new bar and restaurant without being pointed in the right direction.  Ladies and gents, this is Urchin. It officially opened its doors in the last few weeks and you can expect to be hearing a lot about it. What’ll strike you first upon […]

Every week we’ll look at a village along the Dart line and see what there is to do there for the day. This is a review for Shankill and Killiney, but it’s mostly about Killiney. However, if you’re in the Shankill area, make sure to head to Brady’s Pub, a proper old-man pub that is a good ten-minute walk from […]

As part of a new series on Lovin Dublin, we’re catching up with a various selection of prominent, sound city folk to talk all things Dublin, food (obviously) and a bit about themselves too. We thought better than to rendezvous in some stuffy hotel room but rather, given the theme of the website thus far, […]

You may not have won our TGIF competition on Friday just gone, a prize that’d put an end to all those sleepless nights over Mother’s Day worries (no but really, if you lost sleep over this you should really get out more), but fear not, there’s still time and there’s plenty of options. So you […]

I think it’s fair to say that over the last few years salads have transformed from something lame that we used to eat as a punishment into something exciting, fresh and delicious. Things have advanced leaps and bounds from the limp Caesar salad that used to be the token salad option on menus, thanks to […]

It’s been a few years since the craft beer craze kicked off in Dublin, and from the looks of it it’s not going anywhere soon with more micro-breweries and craft beer pubs popping up all the time. The Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fair is returning to Dublin for the third time this weekend, which […]

The most difficult thing about simplicity is sticking to your guns. Restaurants might love the idea of taking a minimalist approach – focusing on just one thing, and doing it really, really well – but there’s something in the human mind that causes us to gravitate towards bells, whistles and add-ons we don’t really need.
