The only pubs i come up with when i try and think of the area are the Millhouse and Bolands (i think thats what its called, never go in there). Can't place blakes.

If I remember correctly if you are coming out of Dub on the dual carriageway...take a right..off.. to the shoping center direction... the next left takes you to the Blakes car park.

yip ur correct about directions....even if u didnt know where it was its easy 2 spot once u go the shoppin center direction.its all gud but the word needs 2 be more spread about it.i go every sunday.

Across the road from the plex. Also across the road from Bolands.
It's if you come straight down the lower kilmacud road and when you get to the lights where Bolands is, take a right and then it's the first left turn. Pings and Papagallo's(sp?) are also in there.
From what I hear the place is crap.
I know people that have gone there and ended up in Club92 or town about an hour after going there.

Makaveli · 21-08-2002 4:32am

BTW what's roughly the age group that go there?
And what are the closing hours?
Sounds like it's just like the Mad Hatter or Missing Swan to me.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 27-08-2002 2:09pm

All sorts really. I try to make it out there whenever I am home, drink is good and food is excellent.

If you are anywhere near it ya can't miss it, big sign up front etc..

Pepe LeFrits · 13-09-2002 1:19pm

Ahhh yeah, i saw it there the other day. Used to eat there lots with my family when i was ickle.

Lisa Lavish · 18-09-2002 6:23pm

every1 still thinks its the family atmosphere restaurant...dont get me wrong they still go but the crowd is really mainly pub goers in the evenin plus there still changin it...was talkin 2 the manager&there gettin a live dj in there&its so big with so many seats that they have finally decided 2 push a few aside 4 a dancefloor!!!

Samba · 19-09-2002 12:15pm

Please god tell me i finally have a decent local pub!

Im gonna go down tonight for a few, ill give it a rating tommorow

I presume its a late bar on the weekends, considering it is still serves food?

Lisa Lavish · 20-09-2002 7:56pm

yip still serves food but after 9pm its all pub goers

Pepe LeFrits · 20-09-2002 10:31pm

the millhouse is alright

Samba · 22-09-2002 5:11am

Mill house is pants!

Blakes is looking very nice I must say, but the eeeeeejits have advertised it really poorly, firstly just by keeping the name, could be a sweet place for gigs but it just needs a crowd oh and be sure to wear your shoes, my shiny white addidas got some dirty looks and warnings from the bouncer

Pints are reasonably priced too

Makaveli · 28-09-2002 12:36pm

The Millhouse is pretty good alright.
Blakes is shit. I was gonna go in last week but saw the place was empty. Friday nights must be slow or something. :rolleyes:

No the place is nice, just seriously lacks a crowd.

Jesus man, you come to Stillorgan to drink in the Millhouse, good taste in pubs :rolleyes:

Pepe LeFrits · 06-10-2002 11:07am

Is there anywhere else ?

The Millhouse is a nice enough place.

Samba · 06-10-2002 12:56pm

DONT DRINK IN STILLORGAN!

Phillies up by the race course is a very nice pub.

The Leopardstown in serves dodgy pints which taste of beer liner cleaner(a friend of mine got alchohol poisoning after drinking 3 pints).

Pepe LeFrits · 08-10-2002 1:25pm

too far away

Ah Blakes. Many a fine steak have I had in that establishment. A pint in the bar before being seated and then lovely tender steak for eating. Yum.

Must pop in and see what it looks like now.

And now, this post, in mobile text speak for the hard of reading:

Lisa Lavish · 17-10-2002 11:02am

Er, well where am I supposed to go?
I'll only go to Fillies if I'm going to Club92, it would make no sense to go up there and then into town.
It takes 10 minutes to get to the Millhouse walking and now that the LUAS people have built a massive wall behind my house, nearly about 30 minutes to walk to Leopardstown.
I could go to O'Dwyers, it's the closest, but it sucks.

The only other pub in Stillorgan (excluding Blakes) is Bolands, and well thanks but no thanks.

Samba · 29-10-2002 10:06pm

Not at all, Bolands is the best pub in Stillorgan!

Stillorgan is an awful place to go drinking(imo), I Usually just go to town for before and after.

Otherwise if i am staying localish i hop on the 46a and go to Dun Laoghaire, there are plenty of nice pubs down there.

Note on the 40 ft, if you don't wanna get ripped off don't drink there on weekends after six, they jack up the price to 5.20 or somthing ridiculous, otherwise its the usual.

Walters is nice, as is the Cosy.

Sorry i didn't realise you lived so close, but thats still no excuse!

I live 5 mins away from the place and i never step foot in the in it.
(i think its a joke the way they have the place layed out, 50/50 modern and old skool.

+last last bus from Dunlaoghaire to Donnybrook isn't until 11.45/50 mon-fri. and depending on what taxi driver you get it will cost ya 7-12 Euro(Takiing a taxi is like playing poker, you win or you lose).

One last note, watch out for all the Junkies down there

What is the usual for a pint nowadays though. There seems to be a fairly big price gap between pubs atm. I know a pint of Carlsberg cost 3.65 in my local which btw is cheaper then DCU "student"* bar.

*Student bar my fúcking ass! Pints are 3.90 and i am of the firm belief that the lines were imported from the 6th century:mad: :mad: :mad:
