Marlay Park festival 2013, Marlay Park music, Accommodation near Marlay Park, Dublin Hotels, Dublin Guesthouses, bed and breakfast, hotels near marley park, hotels for longitude festival

Marlay Park festival 2013, Marlay Park music, Accommodation near Marlay Park, Dublin Hotels, Dublin Guesthouses, bed and breakfast, hotels near marley park, hotels for longitude festival

Marlay Park / Marley Park is located in Rathfarnham which is a short distance from and an easy commute to Dublin Central Hotels and Guesthouses, this means you can enjoy the best of both worlds, party in the country during the day and evening and return for some city living at night.


Longitude Festival: 19th-21st July:

This un-believable event features Kraftwerk, Pheonix, Vampire Weekend, HotChip, Villagers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foals, Jake Bugg, Tom Odell to name but a few!










The five stages of Longitude – and August shows for Marlay Park?

The licence application for the capital’s newest festival reveals more details of what to expect in Marlay Park in July.

Those heading to Longitude in Dunlin’s Marlay Park in July can look forward to spending their time wandering around five stages, according to the licence application lodged by Festival Republic, on behalf of MCD, with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.

According to the application and event management plan, we can expect “three music stages and two multi arts stages”, with all the stages bar the main stage to be tented. There is also a “children’s area” per the site drawings attached to the application. The site capacity is 9,999 people and they’re expecting a 50/50 male/female breakdown. Music will run each day from 2pm to 11pm and there will be no re-admission to the site. Security contracts have been awarded to UK-based companies SLS and Specialized Security and the security guidelines are very much in keeping with the post-Swedish House Mafia shows at Marlay Park last year.

The letter of consent included with the application from Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to MCD, giving them permission to apply for the licence, refers to a contract agreement from May 2006. It would be interesting to see that document and the terms, conditions and duration of that agreement.

It’s also interesting to note the existence of another licence application from MCD for “concert consisting of music performance” at Marlay Park on August 3 and 4. Application OEL 02/13 was lodged on May 24 and the relevant application is not currently online. Again, as has become the norm this summer, it’s Festival Republic who are taking the lead, a further sign of the Live Nation takeover of the Irish live music business.


Thanks to its investment in Festival Republic, Live Nation now has a hand, act and part in the Phoenix Park shows, Longitude, Oxegen and, most famously, the Electric Picnic. There is also the not insignificant matter of Dublin’s O2 and it’s believed that the company are the front-runners to buy Harry Crosbie’s stake in the venue from NAMA. It’s been a long time coming and they’ve done so with great stealth, but Live Nation are now very significant players in the Irish live music market.

Bad Ass Temple Bar Reviews, Dublin restaurants, Eating out Dublin, Michelin Star restaurants

Bad Ass Temple Bar Reviews, Dublin restaurants, Eating out Dublin, Michelin Star restaurants

A hardwood stage of quality food, great customer service and value for money

It was Tuesday, I had arranged to meet a friend for lunch, it needed to be something a little different and special, the last time we had eaten in Dublin it had not been a good experience, one of those un-pleasant ‘Irish’ style lunches with tired dancers beating leather off a piece of ply-wood.

9-11 Crown Alley, Temple Bar, Dublin 2: Phone: +353 1 675 3005



Our New experience would be the Bad Ass Temple Bar, I was unsure of the address, 9-11Crown Alley, sounded like a secret location in a Disney Movie. I quickly found the Bad Ass Temple Bar, right in the heart of Temple Bar, yet tucked away quietly off the beaten cobbled track. I quickly used my IPhone to send the Geo-location data to my friend, surely that would impress her.

Immediately upon entering the Bad Ass Temple Bar I was approached by a member of staff and offered a warm meet and greet. I was shown to a window table where I could view the passing sightseers and wonder at this historic place. The interior of the Bad Ass Temple Bar is soaked in a nostalgic ambiance that is set alight by the hard wood surrounds and ceiling art work, this is a place touched by the hands of imagination and style, yet the menu says value for money and variety to fit a variety of budgets.

I take a moment to step up to the restroom that is on the first floor, on the ascent, the walls are punctuated with a story of Comedy Club laughter each Friday night in the Bad Ass Temple Bar. I am yet again surprised to find an upstairs function room with funky red floor and soft glows of barley sugar amber light, a party of Italians are enjoying a birthday celebration. I am informed that the birthday cake had been supplied free by the Bad Ass Temple Bar as the birthday group was made up of 15 or more people, and this I am told is the norm.

The restroom, often the fall of many eateries, was clean, functional and regularly inspected.

When I returned to my table, my friend had arrived, menus were presented and specials explained. We both started with the Sea Food Chowder, which when presented offered a fresh and a delight balance of Salmon, fresh water shrimp and cockells, served with brown bread that had the aroma of my grandmother’s baking so many years earlier, this was a delightful start to any meal, and my friend agreed.



As my friend and I are big pasta fans we opted for pasta based main courses. My friend ordered Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Tortellini in a Chorizo and Basil cream sauce, I being awakened by the flavours of my starter ordered Penne Pasta with Smoked Salmon in a creamy courgette sauce. The silence that hung over our main dish was explained by our deep satisfaction with a dish that is often only served to such a high standard by Michelin Star restaurants.

We concluded our meal with an Americano and Cappuccino; conversation flowed easily as we looked about us and pondered upon the great history of this location that has paid host to so many cultures and traditions through the ages. Now Temple Bar is a major tourist attraction and sometimes in that commercialisation the true nature of Ireland is lost in a sea of veneer rather than being presented on a hardwood stage of quality food, great customer service and value for money, such a hardwood stage as can be found at the Bad Ass Temple Bar Dublin.

Cost of Our Experience

Starter: Sea Food Chowder €6.95 per person
Main: €12.95 per person
Americano: €2.50
Cappuccino: €2.70

“Delicious food!!!”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 - TripAdvisor-Geokmid

I have been for a while in Dublin and I have to say Bad Ass (profanity rules) has the best beef and Guinness stew!!! In fact the kickass burger and the stew are two of the most delicious dishes we have ever tried!!!! We ended up there after a very disappointing experience just across the road, as we tried to have lunch in another pub but the staff was really unfriendly....we were not in a really good mood but Bad Ass (profanity rules) guys made our day!!!! Strongly recommended!!!
