Even before we opened Pantibar, Capel St was always one of my favourite parts of Dublin. I love the streets livliness and it's great mix. The old traditional Capel St enterprises - the hardware stores, the furniture and upholstry shops, the workwear and uniform shops, the antique and second hand shops, the camping shops and Army & Navy stores, the rubber stamp shop, the model making shop, the tailors, Romano's the great family Italian restaurant, Fuscardi's the chipper... - cheek by jowl with the newer shops, the myriad Asian restaurants, the Eastern European supermarkets, the Polish cake shop, the sex shops... Capel St always feels like a world unto itself. Anything you want is available on the street, and there's a great energy about it.
And while Capel St, like the rest of the city has certainly felt the recession with closures and some empty shop fronts, it never feels defeated or down because new enterprises crop up all the time.
One of the newest is Musashi, a really delicious new Japanese restaurant that opened a few weeks ago a few doors down from Pantibar. And not only is the food great (they do it all - sushi, noodles, tempura, dumplings, katsu, rice dishes...) it's also cheerrfully priced and the interior is really cute. And it's BYOB so you can come out of there stuffed and well watered for €20.
Check it out.
Here's a few pics from when I was there the other night with a large group.
Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough off the mark with the camera before the beautiffuly presented sushi platter was demolished!
