Bad Ass Café

Bad Ass Café Review

If you want to make a Dublin native wince, mention with excitement that Sinéad O'Connor used to wait tables at this lively café in a converted warehouse between the Central Bank and Ha'penny Bridge. (A Rock n' Stroll tour plaque notes O'Connor's past here.) Old-fashioned cash shuttles whiz around the ceiling of the barnlike space, which has bare floors and primary colors inside and out. You can indulge in some great people-watching behind the wall of glass here. The food—mainly pizzas, pastas, and burgers—is unexceptional, but the Bad Ass can be a lot of fun and appetites of all ages love it.

    Persionally I cannot understand why this place is still in business. Food quality is low, crummy shabby decor and I ate here a few months back at lunch and it was pretty grim. Little kids might like it but for the money there is far superior places in the area.
