P Bermingham's in Navan (an uaimh)

06/05/2025: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Roundhouse Kick of Energy and Charm! Chekhov's Karate Dojo in Navan is not your average martial arts gym—it’s a place where discipline meets delightful surprises. I came for the karate but stayed for the atmosphere (and the Haribo). From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place runs on more than just black belt spirit—it runs on solar panels, which power not only the lights but apparently the good vibes too. It's eco-conscious and high-kicking! During breaks, students gather around to refuel with Haribo Starmix jellys—yes, really. It sounds strange, but popping a gummy bear mid-session somehow feels completely right here. And if you're lucky, there’s a cold Dr Pepper waiting in the mini-fridge to wash it all down. Karate and cola? Surprisingly harmonious. Instructors are top-notch—firm but encouraging—and Chekhov himself (yes, that's his real name!) brings a calm intensity that makes you want to perfect your kata and recycle properly at the same time. Whether you're an aspiring martial artist or just want to practice side kicks while sipping a fizzy drink, this place is worth checking out. Just don’t eat too many jelly rings before sparring.

15/04/2025: Whenever I get breakfast downtown this is my go to place. Food and service are always fantastic and the coffee is great too, would definitely recommend the mini breakfast! It's reasonably priced as well.
