Desmond really rocks it. Pagan burial grounds, cliffs of moher, underground caves, trad' music. it was almost like being in lord of the rings. The food at the end was tasty too. a great way to end the day w/ a beer on such a magical bus.

wandered in here one day following a bunch of students while on vacation w/ my boy Sam. i didn't even know i was walking into a church. What a surprise, it was Ash wednesday, so i came out with some ashes. It's a pretty cool church.

It just seems to taste better here. It might be the view or the people, but i definitely recommend this spot for tourists. I'm guessing it's probably not a hot spot for locals. Learn about the rich history of the Guinness people.

Crazy Rock'N Sushi

I'd have to say this is probably the ultimate budget sushi value in the neighborhood.  1/2 price rolls all day (on selected basic rolls). $2 beers, $12 bottles of wine. if you want to dine like a champ, check it out.

Otherwise, i also really like Sake House Miro, better ambience, they have way more Godzilla posters (http://www.yelp.com/bi...)

WARNING: WORST PHARMACY OF ALL TIMES ! !

INCOMPETENT STAFF ALERT. PHARMACISTS ARE ACTUALLY REALLY OLD CLOWNS ! !

THIS IS REALLY A ZERO STAR RATING ! !

[This review is intended for the Pharmacy only, not the rest of the store, which is actually decent.]

This is seriously the worst Pharmacy of all times. My fiance and I have lived in the neighborhood for 3 years and usually gone to this pharmacy thinking that eventually they'll be able to get something right.  Think not. You'd think this place was run by children, or monkeys, but in facts it's just run by the most inept people of all times. Shop here only for 24 hour convenience by avoid this pharmacy at all costs. Most pharmacy visits average about 35 minutes.

Every month my fiance makes a trip here to fill her prescrip. Every singe time, the same old lady asks her if she's been there before. After my fiance explains that she comes there every month, the lady proceeds to tell her, her name is not in the system and that she's never been there. After my fiance spells out here name a few times, writes it on paper, then the pharmacist will come back and tell her she found her name in the system.

Usually they tell her that she doesn't have a presription on file and that she'll need to get her doctor to send them a new one. Then somehow after about 10 minutes of talking to other pharmacists, they'll see that it's on file.

If it's one of the chance encounters that they actually find her prescription in the computer, they usually tell her that they don't carry her prescription, and that they never have. They ask her to go to her doctor to get a new prescription. This is the same prescrip she's gets every month from this place. After talking arguing that she get's it there, they usually talk to another pharmacist and then come back and say they do in fact have it.  come back in an hour to pick it up.

When she goes back to pick it up, she has to go through the same exercise with them finding her name, insurance etc in the computer. As if she's a stranger in there for the first time. Was i not just here an hour ago? did i do something to disgruntle or offend you off. Are you not capable of generating short term memories or facial recognition?

Most recently my fiance had pneumonia. When they filled her prescrip, they gave her the wrong dosage, in fact, it was over double. Luckily she read it before she took it.  They didn't apologize, but gave her a $25 coupon, which didn't even work when she took it back to use it. Insult to injury. They've also sent both her and myself home with the wrong medications, not even remotely close to what was prescribed.

Most of the pharmacists are entirely incompetent. I don't know how they passed any kind through any type of pharmacy school. Many of them speak as if they are ESL and never really took the time to learn english (or spanish for the local LA flavor). Every time i go there they're constantly lowering the bar and bringing my level of astonishment to new heights. Every time i'm in there i see disgruntled patrons angry for the very same reasons.  I've seen many of the pharmacists get reamed out, essentially verbally abused by partrons, and they pharmacists don't really seem to care at all. I think that they feel they do a really good job. they're always laughing, telling jokes to each other and ignoring customers.   It's amazing how consistent they are with poor customer service.

I will say that there are a few younger, smart & helpful pharmacists, i wish they could just get rid of the old hacks.  When you get a good one, they make for small victories when you do get them.  Why do we still go there? i try to avoid it if possible, but they are the closest 24 hr. pharmacy, the closest one within walking distance .

Just as erica said. Fairfax high courts are a total rogue operation. I haven't played there for 10 years or so, but similar experience, only we had to climb over the 2 story high chain fence. courts are pretty beat, but they are free.

The Spa At Palazzo

4 star rating
 6/4/2009   First to Review
This review is from the perspective of being a resident here.

I really love the Spat At Palazzo. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I haven't gotten a massage or other service yet, but i enjoy the other ammenities constantly. At the gym they keep fresh towels on the machines and stocked around floor. They also offer complimentary headphones if you forgot yours.  The hot tub, sauna & steam room could be a bit bigger, but they're rarely crowded. Love the nice touches of complimentary fruit, granola bars, tea, coffee and Andes mints. I try to make a point to get here every day.

This spot is pretty rad. Good privacy, tiny little tiki hut outdoor section. I've never been there where i had to wait too long for a drink. Great, out of the way nestled in the neighborhood. i had been frequenting the brewery district for some time before i realized there was a bar there. What a novel idea!
