going to cork city...what should I do,where should I go? (1 Viewer)

[BonsaiSuperstar]

impending controversy... lennox's ain't all dat. it's nice, very nice.. but it's not the best chip in the country/planet/universe like a lot of corkoidz might have you believe.

for sheer uniqueness (and a small, cheap and tasty portion of chips EATEN OFF THE COUNTER), matty kiely's on maylor street couldn't be beaten, but alas I haven't seen it open in quite a while now. aw.

oh, and fuck d'oval; place is ruined now. used to be a fantastic pub. used.

matty kielys - i used get a burger chips and a can for 2 quid.
he used to take your order, then disappear out the back and appear a few minutes later with what you wanted. tasty but highly suspect...

i think everyone loves their local chipper the most - mine was called magic chef

we had a theory that he had some giant lummox of a beast out back slaving over the frying pans; a kind of master blaster type setup. mastah blastah!

It's patchy; standards aren't as high as they were back before they expanded the place.

Brian's a scabby* fucker too, best to go to the other side when he's there.

*As in reluctant to part with too many of his precious chips. Not picking off scabs and putting them in the chips.

KCs. wow. must be illegal the stuff they serve up in there.

anyone ever doss into the Quin Ryan before it closed? Surreal. A ring toss board instead of darts and the most intimidating facade in the City. The other pub further up Barrack St. is still open I think, run by a huge sweaty betracksuited man, Beamish is crazy cheap in there too.

It only seems like yesterday i grabbed a burger and chips from kielys one friday and headed over to The Phoenix to eat them upstairs with the 'underage crowd'.
then i watched a young band called 'No Remorse', not the aryan metallers from germany - but an equally dangerous band from Passage West, play their first ever gig supporting "The Chew Lips" and someone else.
i remember talking to eoin before hand and his beard and made me think he was about 30, when in fact he was doing his Junior Cert.

Get the train out to Fota Island for the day. Last time I was there a monkey pissed on me. They have giant hamsters.

QuinRyan was great, pool with old 20p coins and bring yer own stereo and play whatever tunes you liked. Bradeys a bit up the road had even cheaper Beamish but there was a bang of death off the place the clientele were so advanced in years for the most part

The Quinryan was great. Bradley's is a bit too Deliverance for me though.
