The best ----- in Maynooth

irish_goat

Right folks, tell us where you find the best of whatever it is you like in Maynooth. Spefically where on campus does the best coffee? I've recently got into the stuff.

Best pint of Guinness for me is in O'Neills, not only cause it's tasty but the staff and owner are really friendly. And there's a cute girl works there too.

I've found that O'Briens do the best coffees.

Best for a cheap lunch is Elite... mmm toasted special and cuppa tea!

I found myself missing the rye café terribly recently
What I wouldn't give for a competitively priced plate of nuggets and chips with curry sauce...and on fridays, the SU is closed, so nuggets and chips is off the menu entirely

Best Chinese has to be Lotus:)

Great idea for a thread!

Bookshop down the end of main street (past londis) does cheapest stationary.

Personally, I think the best coffee on campus is from Bewley's in the arts block. Also, Nnew O' Brien's opening in Manor Mills today i think, must check it out!

Best hot chocolate has to be in the café at the back of Manor Mills mmmmm

Best free wifi: O'Briens in Manor Mills.

Campus is surely better?

Ooooooo thats lovely!

But I'd say twisty's would give a it a run for best in Maynooth. Especially its Hot white chocolate.

Not White Hot Chocolate :P

Wendero

Best chicken: The Butcher's block in manor mills I think I buy like 90 % of what I eat from there;)

Campus wireless sucks. It's so slow in the apartments anyway.

whaaaat? My apartments wireless is really fast! But it also happens that I am the only one in apartment that uses it

Best breakfast: Supermacs Muffins and Ice cream :cool:

This thread made me laugh after a long day, the big swing is DEFINITELY the best ride, just don't do it after a bottle of wine.

A dinner date you mean? that chinese beside supermacs does the nicest satay and I don't even like satay all that much! Other than that, The middley bit of the roost, up the little stairs but not up the big stairs is a good spot for a quiet drink (I know you said you didn't wanna be drinking but even to get some of their bar food and sit there, you can actually have a conversation even if it's fairly busy)

The Wine Cellar = Nicest food in Maynooth. We're going there for a Christmas meal. Early bird menu is €20......garlic mushrooms with a delicious sauce and bread for starter, pasta and chicken in white cream sauce for main and profiteroles for desert. Heavenly....
That's just 5 or 6 pints if you think about it. Really nice place too. Greta service.

Thwip!

Have a chat with Lorenzo Mizzoni am sure he'll let ya spend the evening there!

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Royal City yet for the best Chinese. Scruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumptious.

Downstairs in Brady's is the best place for Saturday night tomfoolery, B2 is okay as well, but sometimes it gets packed too quickly and the DJ seems to play the exact same songs in the exact same order every week... Still, Brady's remains the pub for me, and O'Neill's a very close second. The Roost tends to be better on a Sunday than Saturday, although try to leave before that "musical" duo show up... "Anyone ever hear of Stereophonics/Eagle Eye Cherry/U2/Aslan? Okay this one is for you..." :mad:

Worst - As a chipper, I think Romayo's is disgusting. Bland inedible chips, fish dripping of grease, queasy snackboxes, and disgracefully overpriced.
