Buskers on the Ball
I suggest trying out the food menu. The nachos were delicious, but avoid the wings—they took forever to arrive and weren't worth the wait.

If you're into a specific drink, check their happy hour times. I saved a few bucks on pints by coming during their specials, which was a nice surprise.
I think playing a couple of games on their classic arcade machines is a must! It's a fun break from pool, and it definitely made my night more memorable.

My advice is to bring cash for tips and smaller expenses. Not all the staff were great about accepting cards, which slowed things down a bit.
Castleknock Golf Club

I recommend arriving at least an hour early. The driving range and putting green are great warm-up spots, plus you can soak in the beautiful views before hitting the course.
I suggest booking your tee time online a few days before your visit. It can get pretty busy, and I barely found a slot the morning I went!

My advice is to grab lunch at the clubhouse after your round. I had this delicious burger, and the prices were really reasonable for the quality!
The Mardyke Entertainment Complex

If you're planning to eat, I'd recommend ordering early; the kitchen can get a bit slow when it gets busy, and I nearly missed out on my meal before heading to my next spot.

I recommend hitting up The Mardyke on a weekday evening if you can – it’s way less crowded than weekends, and you can snag a pool table easier.

My advice is to try their cocktails; they often have great happy hour deals that can save you some good cash!
I think it’s smart to check if there are any special events or live music nights before you go. We stumbled upon an awesome band when we visited!
The Hideout
Deer Park Golf

If you're looking for the best views, try to play the back nine. I think that’s where the stunning scenery really shines. Just be prepared for some challenging holes!
Croke Park
Leisureplex Blanchardstown
Bushy Park Petanque

Try to visit on a weekday if you can, the weekend gets super busy and it can be tough to find a free court. I went on a Tuesday and had the place pretty much to myself!
Aviva Stadium

My advice is to download the Aviva Stadium app before you go. It showed me my seat location and all the facilities, which saved me a lot of time wandering around

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! I was walking around for ages, and my feet were killing me by the end. I’d definitely avoid high heels next time.
Glenbeg Point Petanque Court
don't forget to pack some snacks and drinks... there aren’t many places to grab a bite nearby, and you'll want to keep your energy up while playing!
