    Hi all

    Would anyone know of a place that does good steak and pints in the city centre?

    Not too overpriced. Just a decent sirloin or T-Bone would do the job.

    A few of us want to get a few pints of stout in as well.

    Thanks

    The Bull and Castle at Christ Church. FXB steak house and decent boozer!

    Thanks - where is the FXB steakhouse? Christchurch as well? Might be a bit far out no?

    Bull and Castle beside Christchurch.

    Owned by FX Buckley the butchers and over 100 beers to choose from.

    Crashplan beat me to it.

    The steakhouse is the pub. There's a "beerhall" upstairs.

    You'd have to have a very limited view of where the "city centre" is, to think Christchurch was a bit "far out" imo.

    Oh right thanks.

    Just think it is a bit of walk for the main city centre area thats all.

    Might be worth the walk by the sounds of it.

    Sure it is the city centre. We're talking 5 minutes from Temple Bar or Stephen's Green.

    Indeed. The city centre is more than the shops on O' Connell Street. Haven't been to FXB yet, but I certainly plan to.

    Other option for good steak is at Carlos restaurant on O' Connell Street. I've been there a couple of times, but it's a restaurant, rather than a pub. They have good deals often on the like of menupages.

    Christ Church has been the city centre for a lot longer than O'Connell Street or Grafton Street.
    +1 on the Bull and Castle - you can't beat FX Buckley's meat.


    err....that came out wrong..

    LOL :D

    Reminds me of a chap on Liveline a few years ago when the discussion centred on "shop local" for Christmas. He informed Joe Duffy that he was from Pearse Street and proudly claimed he did all his Christmas shopping locally, but, if he couldn't get something locally, he'd head into Dublin for it.
