Craig 6581 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I felt quite ashamed that in my 32 years, I'd never once set foot on the 'Emerald Isle'. Well no more! Friday and Saturday I spent in Dublin in a nice little place in Temple Bar. Fantastic day spent at the Guinness Storehouse (yes it really does taste considerably better than in the UK) and the evening in the bars around when I was staying. For those of you from over there, I can't speak highly enough - either of the place, nor the people. And to anyone who's never been and has considered it - do it! Yes it's expensive but it's fucking worth it.... (well what I remember of it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a few times and feel the temple bar area is one huge tourist trap and that the Guiness tastes absolutely no different. Other than that it is a brilliant place and if you ever go back go to the Brazen Head on a Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20420 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) I genuinely don't know what the fuss is about Dublin myself. If I was going back to Ireland I'd rather go back to Belfast than Dublin, at least that pleasently surprised me (Dublin being pretty much exactly as I'd imagined it to be).

Not from the bars, no although the traffic running on the road beside the river could be heard if the window was open. Canny place and I would definitely stay there again.
