Home is...
I'm currently living in Bray with my Dad and my doggo.
How I get around the city:
I normally use public transport if I am headed into the city but if not I just have an auld stroll to where I need to go.
The best place in the city for a date:
I highly recommend Token [in Smithfield] as a place for a date.
They have unreal craft beers, whopper food and more games then you could possibly imagine. It's the perfect place for a flirty date!
My favourite pub in the city:
You are always guaranteed a delish pint in Grogan’s and the tunes are always banging in P. Mac’s but my favorite hidden gem is The Blue Light in the Dublin Mountains.
There is such a stunning view up there and at night-time you can see the Dublin lights glistening like glitter.
The best meal I've ever had in Dublin:
The Hungry Duck in Perrystown. Order the asparagus if you are going, YUM!
My go-to café or coffee shop:
It used to be Bewley’s sitting out on the James Joyce balcony, but you can't go wrong with Kaph around the corner. The staff are always super-friendly and the coffee is always perfect.
Where I get my exercise:
I'm loving the home workouts at the moment, to be honest. I have a great app and I also love a bit of Yoga With Adriene most mornings.
On a decent day what I've started to do is walk down to the beach, jump in, have a swim and then jog back home to warm up, ‘cause it's freezing!
My favourite shops:
Finders Keepers, Om Diva, Tower Records, Stock and the Health Shop.
My favourite place for a haircut or pampering session:
Tropical Popical to sort out these guitar fingers.
My favourite place in Dublin to get away from it all:
Bray Head. It's so peaceful up there and I find it quite easy to meditate and let go of any negative thoughts.
My favourite place to let my hair down:
The Harbour Bar, Bray when there's a band playing.
The last live event I went to before lockdown:
The Scratch and what a gig that was. This band has such high energy and are super-talented musicians. If you can get yourself to one of their gigs, you won't be disappointed.
Dublin's best kept secret:
The Blind Pig on a Sunday. Delish cocktails and chill jazzy tunes, what more could you ask for!
Wyvern Lingo are due to play the Button Factory on October 25th and 26th, two shows each night - all are sold out.
