the three tun tavern (jd wetherspoon)

one if the best places forgoodpub food and alcohol. they have a great variety of options in terms of food and serve the best burgers and chicken tikka masala. the ambience is amazing and the place has a great vibe to it.

always end up coming here even after going to other pube in dublin.
cheap alcohol,goodfood and really comfortable seating. if you're looking for a place withgoodmusic, i'd suggest you look for something else. however, if you're looking for a place to have agoodconversation with your friends it is the best place to be. a little away from the city but very accessible from the bus stop and dart station.
truthfully i know this place cause my college was in balckrock and then this became a hang out spot for all of us.

lovely little spot for a cheap and cheerful bite to eat! a lot of choice on this menu- i've tried a couple of dishes but the chicken goujons with jack daniels sauce is really nice! i got the goujons meal with chips and a drink of €7.95 so it's reallygoodvalue!

enjoyed a traditional breakfast here for just 4.95 including tea, free-refill-coffee or a soft drink, which is absolutely sensational value. the rumours that wetherspoon's microwave all of their food were absolutely incorrect in this case, as all of the food was clearly freshly prepared. the breakfast consisted of a tasty sausage, piece of lean bacon, nicely-cooked tomato, clonakilty black and white pudding (very good), fried egg, 2 hash browns, beans and a thick fresh piece of soda bread which was very verygoodin particular. the coffee, self-served from a dispenser at the bar was too watery, a little disappointing as lavazza coffee is normally much better than that, but impossible to complain given the overall price. 

my friend had the large traditional breakfast, which had an extra egg, sausage, hash brown and bread, but he couldn't finish it - just as well, given that it is 1,574 calories (all meals have a calorie count on the menu, which is another great touch).

the place is stylish and spotless - a little soulless without music or volume on the tv, but it's a great place to go on a weekday for some peace and quiet. ordering at the bar and remembering to note your table number takes a little bit of getting used to, but if it keeps prices down, then it's no problemo!

i have sampled their beers on other occasions, and at 2.50 a pint for a range of craft beers, the value there is stunninglygoodtoo.

roll on the opening of some wetherspoons pubs in the city centre - it will shake things up nicely!

i never thought i'd see the day a wetherspoons opened in dublin. but i am often wrong and here we are. having lived in london for a few years i quickly grew to hate wetherspoons as their pubs were grimy, uncomfortable and completely void of atmosphere. i was pleasantly surprised to find the first irish spoons was actually really nice inside. they're clearly trying to make agoodfirst impression, and with a bottle of goose island for four quid it's working on me. they could do with some music in there though.

my girlfriend and i went here for a drink one evening after work and i was pleasantly surprised. knowing it's owned by wetherspoons in the uk and given it's reputation there, i didn't have great expectations. however, i couldn't have been more wrong. true to the wetherspoons style, drink was very cheap compared to it's competitors around dublin. i had a pint of heineken which cost me a total of a whopping €2.95 and my girlfriend had a glass of pinot grigio(which was poured from a tap may i add - different) which was €3.95. so the cost for two was €6.90 which is unheard of in dublin. cheap as chips! interior is lovely as well. it's so big, plenty of seating available and very comfortable which i liked. we didn't have food but we did get a look at the menu. lot's of options and again so cheap..meal plus a drink is less than €10. amazing! we'll definitely be back to try out the food and have a few more drinks. perfect place for pre drinks before going into the city and alsogoodfor large groups because of it's size.
