The Beer Terrace
What is it with our Irish Summers that we just seem to get a blast of good weather then its back to October conditions again for an even longer stretch! In the early weeks of the summer The Terrace area here was jammed everyday from early till late. There was a brief time when we got to realise how wonderful Dublin city can be when the weather brings out the best in us. On a fine day Dublin is as good; if not even better than any of our European neighbours have it!
And as a people we look great in the sunshine; the barbeque area of The Terrace was a wash with the reassurance that we as a people now at last know how to pull off the ‘Summer Look’! No longer is it the lime green Penny’s pedal pushers, white socks to the knees and the standard issue Italia ‘90 tank top.
Throughout the fine spell we enjoyed recently people who came to visit us were casually attired in white linins, Prada sandals and designer eyewear. Ok so we get just under half a million people through the doors here each year, so lets assume that some of the cool kids here were from over seas and just visiting us; but get a little closer to the tables, closer to the conversations and the unmistakable ‘Dub’ accents leave you in no doubt that yes indeed these sophisticated beings were our own!
Needless to say; as soon as its time for the kids to get back to school the sun will make a return to our lives! So when it does you know where to come to hang out and enjoy an ice cold beer from our outdoor bar and a delicious barbeque selection cooked to you liking right in from of you.
On a completely different note; we are delighted to see that so many new people have joined our Social Media family on Facebook and Twitter in particular. Maybe all this SM stuff is as good as people say it is! We hope to deliver content to all of you in the coming weeks and have already posted the first in a series of ‘Church How To…’ guides on You Tube. Have a look and let us know what you think.
