The Shack

posted by irishiiiiiis on 7 May 2009 at 14:43

This place is not going to make it to any fine dining experience list for anybody, but it is a fun place to go to for some laughs. The Shack is right in the middle of the Temple Bar district which is a hopping area to be in. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the restaurant has comfortable seating. The staff are fun and attentive. The food, well is average. But there is a wide variety of stuff, so if you are in a large party, everybody will be able to find something to enjoy.

Discovery Cove

posted by irishiiiiiis on 7 May 2009 at 13:33

Discovery Park is an all inclusive day of adventure. The park is run very well, and quite honestly there are no mice running around which after a few days over at Disney you are over it. I was quite surprised by how enjoyable this place was. The park has snorkeling areas loaded with fish for you to enjoy, a petting tank where you can pet the sting rays etc, and of course the main attraction, getting to swim with the dolphins. This is all coordinated by the staff at Discovery Cove so you are not waiting on lines all day. You simply know where you need to be at what time and you do it. The food is ok, and the staff are very good. The park only takes limited amount of people a day so you do need to make a reservation. They offer a wide array of packages depending on what you would like to do.

Universal City Walk

posted by triplecrown on 7 May 2009 at 04:13

This is the "shopping district" of Universal Studios. You will find fun shops for souveniers, plus great little places to eat including our favorite: Tommy's Burgers. It is not the original Tommy's from East LA, but the burgers are the same. There are often special musical guests playing outside for the crowds passing by. There is even a movie theater.

Traditional Irish Music Pub Crawl, Dublin

posted by gsteele on 2 May 2009 at 13:11

This traditional Irish Music Pub Crawl is a very fun night. The cost for the pub crawl is currently 12 Euros. The "crawl" starts at John Gogarty Pub in the Temple Bar District of Dublin. In each of the 3 pubs that you visit the group has a private room. The two tour guides assigned to our pub crawl provide the entertainment as well. They give you a a little history lesson along with some great Irish music. You then leave for the Ha Penny Bar and again the group has their own private room. The tour ends at Brannigans Beer emporium where they opened up the entertainment to the group. It was a lot of fun, just wish it was longer.

Sticky Rice

posted by kswartzbaugh on 18 April 2009 at 09:41

Sticky Rice is a wonderful restaurant and sushi bar featuring the best sushi in Richmond, Chesterfield and Midlothian (believe me I love sushi and I've tried everywhere) and the best prices. Make sure to get there Monday nights between 10 and 12 pm for half price sushi - the same excellent quality at half their already low prices. They have a HUGE selection of vegetarian and vegan foods and sushi (avocado rolls!). The Orange Ginger salad dressing is the best dressing I've ever had and you must try 'the bucket' - tater tots with an amazing dipping sauce. I'm not a tot fan and I love these. It also has a great bar featuring all kinds of drinks from Bud Light to Saki! The wait staff is friendly and cool and the people who make the sushi right in front of you are outgoing and entertaining. If you're in Richmond make sure to stop here!
