Grateful for any tips on bars, restaurants, nightlife in Malahide

Got to be suitable for a golf society ( 12 of us)  age 40-50

We are essentially a group of over-the-hill amateur footballers who think they've still got it - we will be there in the middle of May

thanks

Gibneys is a great pub.

Then onto Tamago's nightclub in Portmarnok..that used to be the double header.  Don't now how the crowd would be there these days.

Grand spot, Malahide.

Best bars are as Ozy says Gibneys (beer garden best and always good crowd in summer, inside a bit dated and dark), Fowlers across the road has plenty of big screens to watch any sport. Duffys on Main st pretty dead.

If your group want to be twice the average age of the clientele by all means head to Tomangoes. A better bet is to head next door from Gibneys to Wrights which might be more suitable as plenty of women there also reckon they still have it!

Only 30 minutes spin on train into Dublin if you're looking for something more lively.

Restaurants Kajal (Indian/Asian), Cape Greko and Seabank Bistro are all solid options. Bon Appetit has a michelin star but that might not be what you're looking for on a lads weekend. Need to book Kajal as popular.

If you want to clear the head the next day in the castle grounds, Avoca is fine if somewhat pricey for a spot of lunch.

Everything is within walking distance while both Portmarnock courses and Malahide are only a couple of minutes spin in a taxi.

Enjoy the trip.

H,

Island View Hotel (if not already booked into The Grand).

Nautilus Restaurant (Formerly Ciao) and/or Seabank Bistro - both tops

Gibneys is your only spot - front bar with the auld stock (and Laddies bookie next door, across the laneway)

Friday 8th May - Ire v Eng in one day Cricket.

The Island GC (must play ! twice, it's that good) and/maybe Portmarnock GC if money/tee time no problem. Also Baltray, Co Louth is not that far.

PM if you need anymore. Devil

Is the Island a good course , catchme , presumably you have played it ? I have connection with one of the members there , often wondered how good it is . I have played Portmarnock 5 times , Royal Dublin once . Great golfing terrain that part of north Dublin .
