Bison Bar BBQ - Dublin

Yesterday was my brother in laws birthday so we went to Bison BBQ for dinner http://www.bisonbar.ie/
I had read a review of this bar a few months ago but I had forgotten about it......Lucky it was remembered!!

Its centrally located on Wellington Quay, right beside the Clarence Hotel/

Kitchen is open till 9pm and gets very busy about 8pm but you can put your name on a list and they will call you when your table is ready.
You can eat in doors or out doors.

We sat in doors and at the window. Very casual dining but comfortable.

The menu has a choice of Sausage, Brisket, 1/2 chicken, Pulled Pork & Ribs. You can get either for €13.95 with a choice of 2 sides. Either Potato Salad, Coleslaw, Onion Rings, Fries & Burnt end Beans.

You can get a choice of 2 meats and 2 sides for €16.95.

I personally went for the Brisket & Pulled Pork to which I was not disappointed.

I would say I actually thought the Brisket was my Fav.

The bar itself is a Whiskey Bar so they had all types of Whiskey's from America, Canada & Ireland. Very reasonable from €5.20.

If your not into Whiskey you can get draught beers which we got. They had Heinken, Coors Light, Tiger, Guinness and more on tap.

You can go into the Workmans club from there as its attached or do what we did and walk around the corner to Temple Bar.

Seabreeze Restaurant - Portobello

Seabreeze Restaurant - Portobello
Went to Seabreeze restaurant for my friends 30th birthday.

Apparently it was supposed to be Gaelic Mediterranean but it wasn't Mediterranean at all.

Company was amazing but food was so over priced.
They explained that it was expensive because it was BYOB but that is ridiculous.

We were given a set menu 2 courses €27 & 3 courses €33 and €6 supplement for the steak.

I can't personally eat 2 courses and as it was 8pm I asked for a different menu and I was told I couldn't have one.
The waiter was very nice though and we came to a deal that instead of getting 2 courses I would get the steak and not pay the €6 supplement.

The food was very good and people that got the 2 courses were generally full after the first course so I was delighted I didn't get it.

All in all I will never be back
