Charlies II

It’s Charlies. It’s over priced Chinese grease and MSG. BUT it is delicious at 3am when you are gee-​eyed.
Staff are not terribly pleasant but VERY efficient. They are like German-​Chinese hybrids.
I always get a 3 in 1. It’s really nice but would I go in there sober? No. MAYBE whilst hungover.
Avoid the toilets [they are like the toilets in the classic horror movie Candyman] and try to take the food with you if possible because there are copious amounts of drunken morons and a higher chance of irritating hens and stag parties as it is in the centre of Temple Bar.
So best to queue, order, pay, grab your food and run for a taxi!

I’m not sure if Charlies actually do any business before eleven o’clock at night. I know they’re open, but unless somebody is sloshed in the middle of the day, they’re not going in there for their lunch.
Charlie’s two survives off the drunk population of Dublin with a vicious appetite who are seduced by the sweet smell of MSG and carbs that waft through the Temple Bar streets and down past the Purty Kitchen.
The food is pretty crap, unless you’re hammered, which let’s face it, you will be if you’re in here. Also the staff are rather unfriendly. I was once slapped in the face by a woman who worked here for trying to get a plastic fork. I’m sure there’s more to it than that, but I can’t remember.
