Just For One Matt & Owen

Oho, look what the ghosts dragged in! Pardon our little hiatus the last while - we were busy changing a few kegs and polishing off the bar ahead of pubs reopening proper!

In this very special episode we are pleased to be in the company of Mr Jimmy Kavanagh and Robbie Doyle Esq. as we navigate all that Smithfield has to offer! We set records on the Dance-Dance Revolution machine in Token, followed by a few tasty pints and blues in Frank Ryan's just around the corner.

So, what’s the real story behind Tetris? Should you interrupt a couple on their supposed first date? And what do you do when you’re on a night out in New York with only your Age Card handy for ID? Grab your bag of arcade tokens and hit play to hear it all!

Next stop: Westmoreland. An chéad stad eile: Westmoreland.

Finally, a pub that Owen and Matt have never been to before - and in such good company! This week we dive into one of the dive-iest spots in Dublin, nestled conspicuously between a wider-than-longer bridge and a wax museum, Pillar Bar. What wonders behold us? Tune in to hear the lads and the effervescent Ping chat Blue Lagoons, why Matt hates the idea of teaching kids, the joys of the Hong Kong metro, and come to the bottom of deciphering Alan Cumming's nationality. 

The Costa del Smithfield!

If Narnia had a bar, this would be it. Located just off the dirty Streets of Dublin City Centre, The Hacienda is one of Dublin's best kept, yet best known secrets. A Spanish villa in the middle of D7, who would have thunk it? This week, we take the dive into the deep end and enjoy a few pints of Guinn with the illustrious Grace Morgan, where we unravel what makes this spot so popular, chat broken bones, why not to do sports, and whether it's weird to sleep on one, two, or no pillows.

And On The Third Day...

It's finally our double digits and we got our thinking caps on - if we had the chance to visit a pub that is no longer with us, where would we go? It didn't take us long to settle on wanting to spend one last night in a fan favourite of ours, The Long Stone. Tune in to relive a night in one of D2's most loved bars with the gracious company of the Chat Shit! gals, Lisa Nally and Allie Whelan. We talk about our favourite rooms and memories in the Long Stone, tips for starting a podcast, and your ideal 3-stop pub crawl.

2 Cocktails 2 Many!

Deciding to take a break from pints, this week we stumbled into Fade Street Social with Jen Aust for a cheeky cocktail with, famed for its rooftop smoking area, 2-for-1 Tuesdays, and terrifying staircase up to it. Grab your nearest shaker tin and some ice as we shake up a few fun tales about the Edinburgh Fringe, missing your friends, and how to best deal with meeting your old school-teachers on a night out!

Tip for life: don't work at the Disney store. This week we've found ourselves in the heart of Phibsborough at one of the most sublime spots Dublin has to offer - The Back Page. One of Rían Hamill's favourite pubs to soak up some G&Ts, water polo, and sweet pizza, dive into The Back Page with us and get out of the rain for a quick pint. Ever played Settlers of Catan, or wondered which pub you think has the best smoking area? We talk about it all this week!
