Hi oggy
You are staying in a nice place..(but I am bias, I love the area) The dubliner has been taken over, but it is very much open. Do nice fish and chips on a Friday. (Prd book is needed)
Alfie's bar is great, quiz on a wednesday.. plus other entertainment on other nights.
There is a great Indian/Mediterranean restaurant, plus another called soul kitchen (above the Dubliner) all very good food and priced well.
There is a pizza restaurant and takeaway. Then... you have other bars and restaurants on the other side of the road in front of the new Iceland, as was Aldi. So you have lots of entertainment on offer, and food. From breakfasts at the Yorkshire tea rooms, to the street for main meals.. outstanding as far as I'm concerned.. to relaxing bars or a sports bar.. or a burger on the end..
The road to the strip... I've not done it, but plenty do, including my partner, at busy traffic times of day, i would highly discourage you, but if your willing, why not, it's down hill, and like I said, although I wouldn't, lots do.
Your going to have a lovely relaxing break.. hope you love it like I do.
