the three tun tavern (jd wetherspoon)

great place to go for a few drinks! a bit reserved a first about a thewetherspoonschain of pubs opening here, but when you go to the place, you cannot fault.

excellent choice of difficult types of beers. great deals on the food, however, sometimes the food does taste a bit reheated. but with €2.50 pints, you can't really complain, and they definitely serve up better grub then local pubs in the area.

recommend for cheap eats and drinks.

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 very good in 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 stunningly good too.

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

i never thought i'd see the day awetherspoonsopened in dublin. but i am often wrong and here we are. having lived in london for a few years i quickly grew to hatewetherspoonsas 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 a good first 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 bywetherspoonsin the uk and given it's reputation there, i didn't have great expectations. however, i couldn't have been more wrong. true to thewetherspoonsstyle, 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 also good for large groups because of it's size.
