Upcoming Events

Helen Turkington, Mint, GMale

Posted Monday, May 11, 2009

There's a good bit of coverage of Ranelagh businesses in yesterday's Sunday Business Post - Helen Turkington is profiled, there's word from Dylan McGrath on why Mint closed, and there's a story about GMale, run by Gavan and Joe Glynn. The Glynns clearly know their audience:

"an Xbox is available to play at reception, while beer is offered in the afternoon and sports generally feature on GMale’s plasma screens."

Mint Restaurant Closes

Posted Thursday, May 07, 2009

There's some coverage on the Herald of the closure of Mint, Ranelagh's top-rated restaurant, and a bit of speculation as to who to blame. Interesting material, and of course, there's the question of whether the next business in that premises will survive long - I've seen three different businesses in there, as well as a period when it was unoccupied.

Bistro Bianconi Chef to enter World Championships

Posted Thursday, February 26, 2009

Bistro Bianconi's Fran Carroll is to enter the world pizza championships in Las Vegas. Apparently, his entry is the Jameson & Black Pizza,

"An unlikely combination of Jameson Whiskey, Clonakilty black pudding, Cashel blue cheese, bacon and apple"

If that makes it to the menu in Bistro Bianconi, I'll be trying it. If it doesn't, I may have to try making it myself...

Tree Down

Posted Tuesday, January 27, 2009

There's a fine image of a tree down in Ranelagh Gardens in Speak from the Hip. It's been a long time since I've seen trees coming down in Ranelagh, but since this winter's weather has been a lot colder and windier than the last few, I suppose it's not surprising.

Ranelagh Balloon Flight & Pearse Schools

Posted Thursday, September 25, 2008

There are two Ranelagh mentions in the Irish Times today. One concerns Patrick Pearse's legacy as an educator, with regard to the school in Cullenswood House, and the other is an entry in the Irishman's Diary column about the unveiling of a statue in Ranelagh Gardens to commemorate the balloon launch there in 1785 by a fellow called Richard Crosbie.

Pint & A Picture

Posted Monday, September 01, 2008

Howard Linane's Pint & A Picture returns to Ranelagh today, the 1st of September, with highlights including Yellow Gate Women (and a Q&A with the director) and Happiness, and by the sound of things, a lot more as well. That's in Russell’s of Ranelagh from 7pm onwards.

Ranelagh Arts Festival 2008

The programme has been announced for the Ranelagh Arts Festival 2008. The festival takes place from the 23rd of September, at various venues around Ranelagh. From the announcement:

"This year, the emphasis is on the village, with loads of events around Ranelagh, making the festival hard to ignore. Walking tours, cycling tours, comedy circuits, an art exhibition that will loop around the village, street art and a magnificent engine puffing away on the Triangle – yes, folks, you are going to see plenty of activity."

Last year's festival was a great success, and it looks like this year's is going to be even better.

Charleston Road Listed Building

Posted Friday, August 08, 2008

The Dublin People has an article up about the entry of 34 Charleston Road on the Record of Protected Structures. It seems the owner wasn't correctly notified when the building was listed, and in any case, says that the house has "no particular architectural merit; that there was no historical association with a famous person or event; that it was not part of an interesting group of buildings; that it did not illustrate any point of social or economic history and that it was not built with any technological innovation or virtuosity."

Dublin City Council seem to differ.
