The Harp Bar
Swords
04/01/2026: We arrived as a party of 4 adults and 1 child on Saturday evening.We we're promptly seated and treated extremely well by the staff in a professional and courteous manner. The food was excellent and all plates were served together. Based on this visit we would have no hesitation in making a return trip...especially for the wings & ribs
01/01/2026: I’m reviewing Envy Club, located beneath K Sixty Seven and run by the same management.
After returning from New Year’s Eve, my initial overall impression of the club would normally be 3.5/5 (or 4/5 if not for the very young crowd, mostly aged 19–25).
However, due to what happened last night, my final rating is 2/5. I may revise it in the future.
The main issue is cloakroom management — or rather, the complete lack of resources and planning. There is only one cloakroom window for the entire club, located in a very narrow corridor, which is already a poor setup.
While it was clear at entry that this could become a problem, what happened at 2:30 AM at closing time can only be described as chaos: panic, frustration, zero crowd control, and no meaningful organization.
When I left the main room at 2:30 to collect my jacket, there was already a long queue. I was surprised when a security guard redirected people away from the natural queueing side (closer to the main room) and told us to line up on the exit side instead. This later turned out to be a mistake, and one of the guards even admitted it contributed to the chaos.
In reality, there were two queues leading to a single cloakroom window, plus a group of people pushing directly at the counter between them. All of this took place in a tight corridor, so physical altercations were inevitable.
Security staff repeatedly intervened to break up fights, but no one actually controlled the queues. There was no discipline, no prevention of pushing or cutting in line, and no clear authority. The queues simply “lived their own life.”
It is unacceptable that a club of this size cannot organize something as basic as coat collection, especially when it creates real safety risks and extreme discomfort for guests. At one point, I genuinely thought I wouldn’t get out until morning.
I overheard one security guard say to another:
“What can you do? There’s nothing you can do here.”
And unfortunately, that perfectly summed up the situation and the level of crowd control on display.

Panda Asian Fusion Chinese Takeaway
Swords
04/04/2026: Ordered the 4 in 1 and chicken with orange sauce with yung chow fried rice, curry sauce was standard, chips and rice were fine but way too much rice. The crispy chicken was horrible, rubbery, and hard to eat, so I left most of it. The chicken with the orange sauce was the same and the shrimps tasted off. I wonder how they even manage to get the chicken to come out that way, just not good enough.
28/03/2026: I have been Getting Take out from here for ages. I love that they have choices from a variety of Asians cuisines. Not many places can deliver both a spice box and a set of sushi to your door. The food is always tasty and they offer great variety... Be sure to download their app if you live in the area but also try the dine in.

Look Mam No Hands
Swords
20/01/2026: Brunch was really nice, really worth to give a try. Service was good and fast. Unfortunately, some drinks on the menu were not available. I would recommend it tho
17/01/2026: Where do I start never one to leave a review but the service was appalling, waiting 25 minutes seated for our order to be taken and 3 separate people walk in and get seated and served straight away so I decided to ask can we order as it's been 25 minutes already if I hadn't of asked the lady we would be left sitting there. We then get told there was no breakfast left even tho the previous 3 other people had all just ordered deluxe and large breakfast not even moments ago to be told there is none left disgraceful service to say the least will never be returning again.

Molly's Coffee Gallery
Balbriggan
24/11/2025: Lovely spot. Good coffee great service
14/11/2025: Frequent customer here, took my little sister here for her birthday today. We sat upstairs and waited for over 30 minutes while the waitress came upstairs 4 or 5 times and ignored us, not even acknowledging we were there. Another group came in and were immediately warmly greeted and served their food within 5 minutes. When we left the waitress said ‘bye’ in a passive aggressive manner with a straight face, the only time she even looked at us. Overall I’m so disappointed and disheartened by this hostile experience as mollys has been a family favorite for years.

New Star House Chinese Takeaway
22/03/2026: I order from here regularly and I absolutely love the food, it’s always really good and one of my go-to places.
However, the service from the current receptionist really lets the place down. Where the owners/other staff are very friendly. When calling to order, I’m never told how long it will take or how much it will cost I always have to ask before he hangs up. When collecting, he often comes across as quite rude and not very welcoming.
It’s a shame because the previous receptionist was much more friendly and social, which made the place more welcoming. I hope this improves, as the food itself is great and I’d love to keep ordering from here

Sale e Pepe
Malahide
16/01/2026: This place is very quaint, with an almost 'community' or 'family' feel that comes from being clearly bootstrapped and family-run. The service was excellent. The food wasn’t Michelin-star level and felt like something I could have made at home, but it was fairly priced for the area and for Dublin these days.
15/01/2026: Always lovely to arrive into Sale e Pepe as feels like home as know all the staff for so long now

KFC
02/03/2026: Visited KFC for the second time, and sadly, it was a major letdown. First time was amazing, but yesterday's visit was a disaster. Ordered fried chicken and overloaded fries, but the fried chicken felt steamed instead of crispy - super disappointing! 😔 Rated 1/10 for the chicken. The overloaded fries had cold chicken and fries, total fail. And honestly, there were like 10+ staff in the front, so can't blame it on rush hour. Hope they sort out their kitchen process.
01/03/2026: Place was really clean, food came quick.
