Java Republic | Ballycoolin Café and Head Office in Dublin

09/06/2026: Grew up beside it in corduff ,i was looking forward to going back after many years .My daughter booked the upstairs for few drinks after grandsons christening in corduff church facing leonards, saturday evening ,booking was free as 50+ were attending so that was a bonus, platters of chicken wings,cocktail sausages etc were served and much nicer than expected..excellent day ..then moved to centre seats when numbers dropped, major mistake as we could smell toilets more than beer,impossible for owner/staff not to smell -moved downstairs to main lounge around 9pm...i was then shocked how quite it was as i grew up there and it used to be a good busy spot...there was maybe 15 other people there on a saturday night..wow! Singer started singing- nothing but des o connor songs -way too loud,i walked outside and spent the remainder of the night outside front doors standing...if its not pulling in locals on a weekend night then something seriously wrong apart from that smell....staff were absolutely brilliant 10/10,they couldnt be faulted so thank you lads ...
