BAGGOT STREET WINES [OFF LICENCE OF THE YEAR 2016]

Baggot Street Wines was awarded ‘National Off-Licence of the Year 2016’ and being a regular visitor I can understand why. They have an excellent selection of wines and it is where I go if I am planning to give wine as a present.

As the majority of my followers are based outside Ireland it may be necessary to explain what an Off-Licence actually is.

Off-licence is a term used in  Ireland, the United Kingdom and New Zealand for a shop licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises, as opposed to a bar or public house which is licensed for consumption at the point of sale (on-licence). The term also applies to the licence granted to the establishment itself. Off-licences typically are specialist shops, convenience stores, parts of supermarkets, or attached to bars and pubs. Prices are usually substantially lower than in bars or pubs.

EATHOS ON BAGGOT STREET [FOOD FOR THOUGHT]

As you may have guessed I visited Baggot Street a few days ago but unfortunately I did not get time to visit any of the nearby restaurants.

Located on Upper Baggot Street, eathos is a café, eatery and patisserie that, as the name suggests, has a particular philosophy at its core. They undertake to make thoughtful food specially for their customers.
