    Yup Raymond St. is a nice road, very quiet aswell, if you drive though parking can be a pain in the arse. Need to know anything about the area just ask, only live a few roads away from you.

    Cheers mate, parking was my one concern about the place. The people living there reckoned they could get free parking at the end of the road. I presume I can get the residents parking permit too??

    So what's the best local Gavin?

    Best local hmm, I'm more of going into town kinda guy being 18 and all, but Leonards Corner (http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/leonardscorner.html) is suppose to be good obviously depending on your age. How old are you and what would you be looking for in a local?:D

    Current local is The Players Lounge in Fairview, comfortable place to watch any and all sports is the main requirement, not getting shot or bust up is secondary to that!

    Ah I'll be heading into town for nights out, just looking for a spot for Tuesday night pints, guess I'll just have to try them all out and work from there.

    Players Lounge, nice pub indeed. Suppose the Headline or Leornards Corners would be grand for a few socialable pints, and Dublin 8's Players Lounge. Well if you're looking for a younger more livelier scene you have Camden St/Wexford St and also Bernard Shaws up on Richmond Road (closes at 12.30 though).

    Take it you know you have a butchers, chipper, two chinese take-aways (China House is nicer than the Full House imo), two pharmacies, Pinheads Pizza, bookies, Londis, Stephanies Cafe (great hangover brekkie), internet cafe, bank all at Leonards Corner which is 2 mins from Raymond St and then in the other direction 2 mins away a Spar, O'Neills Offo (one of the best in Dublin) and the National Stadium.;)

    Weird. I think I know the house you're moving into. Sharing with three other lads, yeah?

    You have 12 posts and 6 of them are on that pub

    You're clearly a fan :)

    That's a good bit away from Rialto.:D Ye the area around there does be usually very quiet, in saying that if you do happen to move there you'll gradually see that there will be alot of guards in the area mainly because you have some of Dublins biggest gangsters who are involved with this whole Drimnagh - Crumlin gang feud and members of the INLA within a stones throw away from you.;) Don't let ye put you off though.

    ah the Crumlin -Drimnagh feud, god bless the herald for ruining the names of two generally grand areas of dublin. amazing it has that name when many of the main players are from and live in the south inner city...pisses me off.

    anyway the whole liberties area would get my vote for proximity to town and having stuff going on....if you want some where quieter id say drimnagh or kilmainham
