I don't swing that way :-)

I'm also going to actively campaign Mulligan's to get a TV in and show every match from around the world and encourage all the hooligans in lol

Fair play to them. It's great to see people getting up off their behinds and achieving their goals.

That's the way I meant it and to let them know that the flyers are getting delivered.

I heard the Voodoo was reopening so I'd imagine it's that site.

Nope, it's the far end of Ellis Quay it used to be called McAodhans?

Oh and the reason I hate Mulligans is the wankery of it. And no Guinness!!!

Any bar in Stonybatter with no Guinness should be dragged by the hair to the court of human rights in the Hague. Loved Walsh's on a Friday night - pints, chat.

I might hit there on Saturday or should I do the brunch.

I had Guinness in mulligans last week.

Not mad about the place itself though. Where so all them poseurs come from? They must get out of the cab and run directly into the pub. Not exactly your usual Stoneybatter citizen.

Mr Whirly

Stoneybatter is hipster central these days.

What the jaysis is "wankery" about Mulligan's?

I'm genuinely baffled here - I'm no "hipster" - I'm a man in my 30s from Coolock, living in Finglas. I couldn't even think about wearing skinny jeans. And I don't even wear glasses!

They do absolutely delicious food, and offer a great range of beers, seriously, those of you who think "Guinness" is some kind of pinnacle of alchoholic drinks need to widen your horizons just a little, teeny bit.

The food is overrated pub grub, I have had very similar meals in pubs for less and the staff are really slow! Every time I am in there, our drinks arrive after we get our food despite ordering them a good ten minutes.

And I am no stranger to experimenting with different beers, wines, cocktails whatever - I just happen to enjoy a proper pint of Guinness.

But my main problem with Mulligans is that it just feels too formal for a pub, I always feel like I am in a restaurant taking up a table if I stay there more than an hour and I just don't like the atmosphere.

Lots of people love it, it's just my preference.

Mulligans?

For me, its the best pub in Stoneybatter and I would disagree with everything Lux23 had to say bar the food being slow. It is. Never had to wait until after my food to get my drink. The food is, imo, well above normal pub grub and I enjoy the fact that there is a range of pints other then the usual boring choice that you get in every pub.

Lux23

Well they do well, so I am in the minority - I like their chips and that's about it. I also couldn't imagine having a night out in it. But as I said most people disagree with me!

AsianDub

I'd be another! Love everything about the place!

david75

That's grand though lads! It just means you're 'the type' of people you'd find in Mulligans. All im saying is youse arent usually 'the type' of people you'd see on any given moment in stoneybatter, is all. Hiding up in the terraced houses on the west side of manor st towards the park, yeah maybe but living and working in stoneybatter/manor street? Hardly.

The lawyers have discovered it.

Reprazant, take a day off

I don't know, after say Portobello and parts of Dublin 6 - Stoneybatter is probably the hipsterish place in Dublin. I always think it's a very diverse neighbourhood.
