Are ye talking about the former Ballsbridge Hotel on the corner? Why did that close?
I used to love going in there before ROI Football International’s. Before the Denmark play-off they’d a live band playing real proper Irish rebel songs circa 5pm-7.30pm and I have never experienced an hour or two of pure proud to be Irish like it. Hairs standing on the back of your neck stuff.
Pity it all unraveled very quickly down the road.
It’s an exec room in the River Lee, not the George V in Paris.
You missed the gym brag.
It was Jurys before it was the Ballsbridge Hotel. Not sure what happened. I know Charlie Chawke took parts of it on at one stage. And there was articles going around where homeless folks were able to book rooms in it for 20 quid a night a few years back as they just gave the rooms away below cost.
have you tried the dean yet?
No. I’ve not been there. Apparently very similar to one in Dublin albeit it’s not built on a nightclub.
It’s nice. Had a night with the Mrs down there in April.
How the brekkie?
Heading down next week for bidness
Missed the brekkie (maybe we hadn’t it booked in?) Might have been hangover and/or romancing at that stage. Had a nice breakfast sandwich somewhere across the road alright.
Turntable in the room with a couple of records. We got The Bends and some Arctic Monkeys shite
Thats an interesting development. Hopefully i dont get artic monkeys
A poor tribute band in fairness
Didn’t the Dunner’s ex-wife GK have a posh supermarket there for a while too.
One of the great records.
Stayed and ate here last nt. Room was huge and v nice with massive bath and great shower. Food was grand in Sophies, probably 20 better places to eat within 15 mins walk but twas handy out.
Good breakfast
Any tips for the Europe lads?
Enjoy the outdoor pool mate and just relax.
If you don’t post a pic on your socials with the lake in the background then you haven’t been really there
Stay there and don’t bother with Killarney Town.
Spa is lovely. Pints out the back and relax is lovely.
Edit - book a boat trip
Head up to Muckross
It’s a very sterile place to hang out in
