| Pretty good place. Usual array of bland, nitro-keg drinks but the food was decent enough and the staff friendly. AleKing - 27 Aug 2008 16:52 |
| The name of this pub might suggest a gaudy over the top victorian establishment with little snugs everywhere and those stupid pictures of dogs and monkeys playing billiards gracing the walls, but its not like that at all. The Gin Palace in Dublin's Abbey St is as much in the 21st century as most other pubs in this area. And in that sense it is no more interesting or boring than the rest. But this pub shines above the rest when it comes to drinking Gin & Tonic. Not so much for the quality of the Gin (Cork Dry Gin which is ok) but for the price. �4 for a G&T in the heart of Dublin is not to be scoffed at. Expect to pay �6+ elsewhere. And I'm not talking about any old yellowpack tonic water either but a proper little baby bottle of Schwepps. Although come to think of it, Schwepps is sold in yellow packets. But anyway if you like G&T (and I love the stuff),then The Gin Palace is your only man. And its not just gin for good value here. A Jameson and Coke is only �4.50 and again its a bottle of Coke. None of that dash lark from a tap. In a city where pubs are recieving an increasingly bad press for charging over the top prices, The Gin Palace is a reassuring sign that there is still some places left in the centre of town where you can enjoy a drink without being ripped off. The pub is located just a few yards from Abbey tram stop on the red Luas line. The_Inspector - 26 May 2005 20:44 |
