Like something out of a horror film |
Despite seeing this place at least 4 times I week I had not, until very recently even known it was a restaurant. If you ever drive along Columbia I am sure you have seen a big looming castle like structure just before Cumberland. For those of you taking the Millennium Line, you can view it in between Columbia and Sapperton Station.
I do not know a lot about the history of the place but there used to be a prison in the area and the building the restaurant was in was formally the B.C. penitentiary guard house building . My girlfriend and I were meeting my two friends.gotta think of nicknames now, Meathead and Steller.
Upon entering the building there really was not a clear direction of where to go but we made our way into the restaurant. The waitstaff was very friendly however I did not really get an "Irish" vibe. I have red hair and it typically goes a couple shades redder when I am in an authentic Irish joint, it did not today though.
There was quite a few items on the menu, moderately priced but a little too much for my liking. I went with one of the cheaper items the Fish and Chips.

My girlfriend ordered the Cesar Salad, not a lot of vegetarian options for her, oh well.
Steller ordered the Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwhich. He raved about it and said it was fantastic.It did look very good.
I don't really have much else to say about Dublin Castle, would I go back? Maybe for a dinner special but there wasn't really anything about it that drawed me in.
