They have good Guinness so there’s really only one choice 🙂 What to eat. I’ve heard good things about the food as well -compared VERY favourably to other type Irish restaurants. Andy, you aren’t too biased against us micks are you? I got a wonderful chuckle when on 60 Minutes recently, they showed building sites in Dublin with Englishmen stacking bricks 😉 ---

If we’re talking proper chips with curry sauce, you can forget speaking to me for a good hour or so while I indulge my curry desire…mmmmmm…curry sauce. Seriously, I doubt I’ll be there early enough to eat, but I’ll try. ---

Yes **Andy** , proper English chips with lovely curry sauce!!! they’re finally starting to show up on the Irish restaurant menus. **Piney** , think thick cut chips ala fish n’… with a mild yellow curry sauce on the side . That and a little vinegar and I’m set to go! Chip buddies too…dunno if I spelled that right ---
