    The Porterhouse on Grafton Street is a good spot. Nice food, lots of drink.

    Saba seems to be constantly booked out, no recession on in there.

    +1 on this, great food and drink. Or try their spanish cousin The Port House for tapas and large jugs of mojitos.

    Pity you want that area of town specifically because Parnell St/Capel St area has a plethora of Korean/Chinese/Thai places, that have great food, good value, and serve booze, and karaoke!

    It's a shame they're all horrible little run down dives on one of the least aesthetically pleasing streets in Ireland! I can't believe how so many people wet themselves about that dump of a street.

    That's not my experience at all. I've had a nice time in at least three of those restaurants, well run, friendly service, good prices. There's so many restaurants in the area I refer to, I've no doubt some are a bit dodge. Also, it's two streets I'm talking about, which one are you referring to as one of the least aesthetically pleasing streets in Ireland?

    The East side of Parnell st, total dive.

    I keep promising myself a night out in one of those places, I've only heard good things said about them.

    And I agree with the other poster, its a pity they're located in a sh*thole part of town.

    Capel Street is one of the few nearly intact streets left in Dublin. It's a melting pot of historic streetscape, ethnic diversity and old school Dublin. It's full of decent pubs, great resturaunts and a great mix of services and shops. I can't for one minute think why someone would dislike it. It's minutes away from Dame St, on the red line Luas and affordable. Parnell st, I agree, needs work, but leave precious Capel street alone please.

    Capel st is ok yes. Although the only decent pub I can think of is The Boar's head? What great restaurants are on this st too? It's a shame Spar and Centra jizzed all over the street too, but it does have a lot of independent shops alright

    Nealon's and MacNeill's are nice. O'Byrne's at the top of the street was good too although I think it's gone now.
