The Local Authority Member Awards (LAMA) highlights the work done by communities and councils all over Ireland, bringing national recognition to projects and developments that may otherwise go unrecognised.

The Best Connected Community awards recognises “the community that is connected to councils, businesses and each other, can access services easily and quickly and communicate activities and events taking place in the area with the click of a mouse.”

Local member of the business group, Kevin Arundel of The Chop House said, “Over the past few years the Beggars Bush business group has grown into a thriving network of active and engaged stakeholders. We all feel incredibly lucky to be a part of the vibrant community of Beggars Bush which is an area of great vitality and abundant community spirit.

The Worst Kept Secret of Beggars Bush – Junior’s Café and Deli

Usually, the combination of a small space and loads of people is a recipe for a headache. Somehow, the tiny Beggars Bush staple Junior’s manages to draw a crowd that feels less like a soul-sucking mob than a lovely community of sandwich lovers. Here’s why waiting in line at Junior’s is so incredibly worthwhile (and even a little magical).

Business as usual!

A photo posted by Juniors (@juniorsdelicafe) on

1. Sandwiches of lore

On my first day in Beggars Bush, a local showed me around the area and pointed out Junior’s as the best sandwich place in the neighbourhood (maybe even in all of Dublin). Since then, I’ve heard many awe-inspiring tales about their legendary sandwiches – and now that I’ve tried them, I can honestly say that they live up to the hype. The deli serves up high quality ingredients prepared with care, putting a twist on classic sandwich combinations (lemon and basil mayo, anyone?) . . . these big, hearty sandwiches indeed fit the bill of “New York style” fare, and do deserve to be discussed with a certain degree of reverence.

2. Order with abandon

Restaurants usually end up having a signature dish (aka, order their specialty or you’ll end up envying the smartie at your table who did while you pick at a subpar choice). Everything Junior’s does, they do well, which makes eating there feel incredibly freeing. So go ahead, order the craziest or most out of season dish on the menu! Feel the thrill that comes with ordering something unusual (with the security of knowing it’ll taste delicious)! Never before was it so easy to be a restaurant risk-taker. Go ahead, be bad, you dining daredevil.

Post event dinner! Legit. #acmetravels

3. Originality factor

Junior’s claims its inspiration as New York style deli by day, Italian café by night. Indeed, their menu reflects these unique influences and makes for a lunch and dinner experience you won’t find anywhere else. Instead of going out to eat at any old restaurant and ordering the usual, why not try for something a little different? Say “buongiorno” to a dining experience that’s out of the ordinary.

4. Deals (hooray!)

O, ye of little faith, I’ve spotted the glimmer of skepticism in your eye. “Suuuure,” you think, your brow furrowed with disbelief. “I bet the food is great . . . and greatly overpriced. ‘New York style’ is just a euphemism for overspending on a sandwich.”

Well, not so, you cynic! Junior’s sells all of their huge, filling sandwiches for under €7. Dinner is more expensive, with entrees coming in at around €20, but the price seems reasonable for the food quality. And, a tip for the savvy eater – Junior’s does a coffee and scone breakfast combo for just €3.75!

Blt, sultana orange and almond scone, croissant plus pancakes today surprise surprise! #brekkieisserved

5. Smiles all around

The real reason to go to Junior’s during the insane lunchtime rush (or for a delicious dinner) is the sense of community. Being packed in with the rest of the lunch crowd reveals that we, as humans, all have at least one thing in common: a love of sandwiches. As everyone gets in everyone else’s way and servers weave in and out with apologetic grins, it makes you feel like everyone in Junior’s is an old friend. (Who you may or may not accidentally bump into on your way to a sandwich.)

Why a Pint Tastes Better at Ryans Beggars Bush

There are hundreds and hundreds of pubs in Dublin, and picking a place to enjoy a Guinness is sometimes much more complicated than it needs to be. Well, let us take the guesswork out of your evening plans – Ryans Beggars Bush is an institution that’s been serving up great food and drink since 1913, and it’s a neighbourhood hotspot for a reason.

Cherry blossom storm in #Dublin!

1. Classic charm

Ryans is steeped in history, and it shows. There has been a pub on the site Ryans currently occupies since 1803, and it’s been owned by the Ryan family for over a century. The pub reflects this rich past – it embodies the feel of a classic Irish pub, and has that lovely old timey vibe that makes a pint that much more enjoyable.

2. All day all night

Anytime you need a bite or a drink, you can pop over to Ryans. They’re open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks, so you’ll be welcomed in at anytime. Plus, if you stop by for breakfast, you can try a yummy pastry (they get all their baked goods fresh from Bretzel Bakery).

Treats! (Photo credit: @le_globalista)

3. Let’s get together

Ryans has a very friendly neighbourhood feel. It’s a place of community, and you’ll always feel welcome in the cosy bar or out on the patio. On any given day, you may find yourself in the company of faithful regulars, enthusiastic Ireland fans, wonderful couples and families out for a bite, and those seeking a lovely spot for a drink. Plus, you can further become a part of the Ryans community (and get out on the golf course) by joining their Golf Society.

Enjoying the beautiful day!

4. So good they put their name on it

The Ryan family have long standing associations with Irish Whiskey going back to a time when they bottled their own Ryan’s Malt which they produced in association with The Dublin Whiskey Distillery until the famous distillery closed its doors in 1946. To celebrate the Ryan’s Beggars Bush 100th Year Anniversary in 2013, the family identified an opportunity to revive their Jack Ryan’s Malt. In 2014 the whiskey was awarded the coveted title of ‘Best Irish single malt whiskey’ in the 12 years and younger category after beating off stiff competition at the prestigious Irish Whiskey awards ceremony. Clearly the Ryan family have some serious credentials!

Found some of your whiskey @jgrryan21 in a pub in Dublin! #goodwhiskey #dublin #beggarsbush

5. Match days

On match days, it’s crucial to find a place to cheer on Ireland with fellow fans. If you’re seeking for a vibrant and spirited group, look no further than Ryans. The place is packed on game days, and the camaraderie is palpable. Go Ireland!

What more can I say? Even Google agrees that Ryans is simply one of the best.

The Old Spot should be your new spot

I walk past The Old Spot’s lovely blue exterior every day but until recently, hadn’t ever been inside. It’s one of those spots you hear about, and peruse the menu, and hem and haw over dates and times, but end up forgoing in favour of leftovers at home because you’re too lazy to go out to eat. Take it from someone who has recently eaten there for the first time – my only regret post-dinner at The Old Spot was that I hadn’t visited sooner. Here’s why I’ll be making another trip over as soon as possible, and you should too.

1. Dine in indulgent comfort

When it seems like a lot of work to get off the couch and go out for dinner, keep in mind that sinking into a booth at The Old Spot is just about as close as you’ll get to dinner in bed. The homely seats are cosy and soft – it’s impossible to be on edge when you’re snuggled up in one of their booths (feeling delightfully cocooned by the high seat backs). Give me a cushy seat, a drink, and a plate full of food, and I’m in heaven.

2. Check a hotspot off your list

It may be cosy inside, but don’t think that means that this Beggars Bush institution is musty or out of date. Quite the contrary, the dinner rush buzz made me feel – dare I say it – pretty trendy! Stepping inside, I felt welcomed by the familiar pub atmosphere, and fell in love with the odd collection of items that lined the walls. Books! Black and white drawings! An old clock! Somehow, the crowd of hip diners seemed just right for this perfectly lovely spot.

Brilliant atmosphere in The Old Spot today and we have perfect conditions for the game. Enjoy

3. Mix it up

Enough about the ambiance. Let’s fast forward. I’m in, enjoying the atmosphere, loving the cool crowd, cuddling up in my booth. I pick up the drinks menu. And holy Hennessy, is the cocktail list impressive! If you’re looking to try something new instead of ordering yet another pint of Guinness*, this is the place to go. Anything on the drinks menu is sure to satisfy your eyes and your taste buds (read: the Instagram opportunity of a lifetime).

*Disclaimer: You love Guinness, I love Guinness. We all love Guinness. But it would not kill either one of us to try a cocktail once in a while. Have some fun, for Pete’s sake!

4. Pub food level: expert

Ah, pub food. That fickle mistress. Even when we get burned and end up paying way too much for a few slices of bread with ham between them, we keep going back for more. Pub food can be a gamble, but at The Old Spot, they’ve perfected the formula. Go for the fish and chips, or a good ol’ ribeye steak, and you won’t be disappointed. They’ve found the perfect mix of hearty and subtly delicious – gastropub is a title they’ve certainly earned – and they’ve got the Michelin recommendation to prove it.

5. Most importantly: they have goat cheese, and all that implies

Not only does The Old Spot serve up solid pub food, but they also offer mouth-watering combinations that will make you feel like a real foodie. When a list is required to properly explain the different flavours that go into a dish, you know you’re in for an exciting eating experience. This menu gets my Goat Cheese Stamp of Approval©, awarded to restaurants serving up interesting menu options (that actually taste good – in this case, positively delicious).

The scoop: go to The Old Spot for comfort and style, classic eats and fancy dishes, and to see a fish displayed in a glass case on the wall. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, dinner, or drinks, it’ll be a singular experience – I promise you that. And whatever you do – don’t miss out on their Sunday Lunch, it’s a thing of legends.

O’Connor’s Pharmacy – an Oasis in Beggars Bush

Chaos is all around us.

Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. But the truth is, little daily disasters are unavoidable. And there’s no way to be prepared for every possible problem that could crop up on a given day.

In my opinion, far and away the best spot to head in a pinch is O’Connor’s Pharmacy. Over the years O’Connor’s has surprised me on so many occasions, there seems to be no end to their services, products, gift ideas, medical advice and treatments. Here are just a few ways O’Connor’s can help you make your way through the chaos of life!

1.Beauty remedies

Regardless of gender, we’ve all experienced the moment of sheer panic that follows breaking a nail or looking in the mirror and spotting an unseemly facial blemish. Luckily, in Beggars Bush, there’s no need to lose your head and go into hiding over a jagged nail or a breakout. O’Connor’s has a great selection of cosmetics and nail care products, and I’ve never been disappointed by my options or the price tag that comes along with them. Plus, if you’re looking to try out some new makeup or find an old favourite, this spot is perfect for a browse.

2. Gifting solutions

One of the worst feelings in the world is the moment you realize you’ve forgotten a birthday. Even if you’re one of those people who always knows when everyone’s birthday is, it can still be a real struggle finding a suitable gift that won’t leave you bankrupt. It may sound surprising, but O’Connor’s is a go-to gift spot for me – they often carry gift packages of yummy-smelling lotions and shampoos that anyone would love to receive (and will actually be able to use). These make perfect gifts, and can even satisfy friends and family who are particularly hard to shop for. Plus, O’Connor’s stocks cards for all occasions  and will wrap your gifts for free.

3. Medical fixes

I’m incredibly clumsy, so knowing where I can get bandages and other first aid items nearby is a must. O’Connor’s carries enough first aid supplies to satisfy even the most accident-prone klutz (they certainly get my stamp of approval). They also make filling prescriptions and picking up over-the-counter medicine easy – they offer a wide selection of products, and are staffed by pharmacists who can give you tailored medical advice (just one among a wide range of services the pharmacy offers). What’s more, it feels good to get great deals while supporting a local, independent business.

via GIPHY

4. Lack of sun solved

Ireland’s constant cloud cover does not bode well for my tan (or lack thereof). Luckily, O’Connor’s carries a variety of self-tanning moisturizers that can help you get that sun-kissed summer glow, with no actual sunlight needed. Some even have SPF to protect you from UV rays (which can be even worse on a cloudy day than a sunny one). Also, if you are lucky enough to be jetting off to the sun you can get your passport photo taken in O’Connors – eazy peazy!

5.  Take care of yourself

You hear time and time again that it’s important to be proactive about your health, but it can be hard to know where to start. O’Connor’s makes looking after your health easy and simple. Their health professionals conduct check-ups on site and can give advice on medical concerns. Plus, they stock vitamins and daily supplements to make sure you’re getting the nutrients you need.

The bottom line: consider stopping in O’Connor’s. Whether you’re in desperate need of a nail file or seeking a medical consultation, they’ll be able and happy to help you out. You can also check out O’Connor’s Facebook page – not only do they post deals and specials, but they also share articles and tips that relate to living a healthy lifestyle.

5 Reasons Farmer Browns is the Place to Be

Dreams. We’ve all got ‘em.

Growing up, sisters Grace and Finnuala dreamt of opening their very own restaurant. In 2012 they opened the doors to Farmer Brown’s, Bath Avenue where they serve up hearty dishes using local, home-grown Irish produce with an American twist. The love they have for their craft infuses every bite of food served up at Farmer Browns, and the attention to quality is apparent in each meal, making this restaurant a must.

1. Nutritious and delicious

Browse the Farmer Browns menu, and you’ll find yourself in a healthy food haven, where well-rounded meals are plenty and there’s enough quinoa and avocado to please even the most fervent health nuts. If you’re dining on a budget, no worries – pop in for lunch with plenty of yummy options under €10.

Our Moroccan salad is light and tasty and perfect for a day like today!

2.  Freshest food in town

“At Farmer Browns we believe that the best meat comes from happy animals and veggies should be grown without any pesticides or genetic modifications. And above everything it should all come from our beautiful Island.” – Farmer Browns’ website

Ugh, that is practically poetic. Restaurants this committed to sourcing great food are few and far between. Artisan, free range, organic, home-grown Irish produce? That’s alright with me. Plus, they grow their own herbs and vegetables in their little garden in front of the restaurant  (typical Irish weather permitting) to make sure only the best produce ends up on your plate.

3. Brunch to your heart’s content

Ah, brunch, that magical time of day when the world seems to stop spinning as you relax (with close friends, family, a hot date, or even your dog) and indulge in yummy breakfast food and mimosas. If you really want a good meal, head over to Farmer Browns, the most recent recipient of Lovin Dublin’s Finest Brunch Award. What makes them the BEST brunch spot in the city? A menu that’s got a wide variety of options, tried and true favourite dishes like the Farmer Burger, and lovely indoor and outdoor seating options.

4. The family that eats together, stays together

When you have little kiddos, it can be really stressful to try to go out to eat. Top-tier restaurants can be unwelcoming to your unpredictable fun-sized bundles of joy, and it usually just doesn’t seem worth the effort to make it out for a subpar meal. Lucky for you, Farmer Browns welcome families with open arms, and their menu has enough variety to satisfy eaters of all tastes. So treat your family to a meal out – and treat yourself to a night free of washing dishes.

via GIPHY

5. Liven up the office

Gray skies, long days at work, sleepy co-workers . . . what your office needs is a little time to re-energize and re-connect over some yummy food. The good news: Farmer Browns make up and deliver food direct to your door. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, you name it – they’ll whip up whatever dishes you fancy and run them over. Your new status: office superhero.

via GIPHY

At the end of the day: We’re so thankful that Grace and Finnuala followed their dreams, because they provide us with heavenly, wholesome food. So pop in for a meal at Farmer Browns – experience for yourself what it’s like to eat fresh and if FOR SOME REASON you’re not in Beggar’s Bush – you can also visit their new outlet in Rathmines!
