Keep it traditional:

(1) Kehoes
(2) McDaids
(3) O' Donoghues
(4) Toners
(5) Mulligans.

If you want a late night bar Go to No Name Bar.

The upstairs area/balcony bar in the Jar is very good if you can get it booked.

The Liquor Rooms freaks me out. Ceilings are too low and I don't like how there's curtains and shit everywhere.

Not a bad list. Liquor Rooms should be good. Was in the No Name Bar last weekend and it was better than I remember it to be. Never been to a private thing there though. Have heard good things about the Jar. Can't go wrong with the beer selection in Against the Grain. Hot staff too. Bit more down and dirty overall, assuming your mate doesn't mind that.

Nightmarket.

It's Thai, run by a Cork guy and his Thai wife who previously had a restaurant on Capel Street.

It's fine, I've eaten there twice, and no doubt will go again, as it's now on our rota of neighbourhood restaurants (which An Bhialann never achieved).

I see there is a Bunsen there now across the road. Have to give that a whirl over the weekend.

Have you been to Wow Burger? It's nicer.

Bunsen obviously trying to compete hard there, and tbf they're doing a decent job.

Frequently and skillfully.

There are, after all, 7 days in every week.

I haven't been to either. Good to know.

I've heard Wow Burger is the greasier, less healthy option which is how I like my burgers but the missus has other ideas.

The Brazillian BBQ place Rio Rodizio has closed down and Savills are now looking for € 135k pa rent for it !

Very difficult for any restaurant, I'd have thought especially a new non-franchise.

Rent in Ranelagh is becoming prohibitive for new independent places. It's why so many places are unexpectedly failing and you still have a number of empty units. Rathmines is starting to wipe the floor with it.
