Dublin?

Just there a fortnight ago. Better than I remembered. Basically avoid Temple Bar and you'll enjoy a perfectly serviceable time. Really good pub called The Porterhouse just on the edge of Temple Bar does all its own ale, just nearby is a big Lebanese sort of cafe place for a good cheap feed. Keep to the pubs that look like normal people might be in them and aren't full of English and it ain't the worst place.

Would personally agree with staying away from Temple Bar, loads of other places and depends what you want, but would recommend you try the Brazen Head and/ or O'Donnoghues if you fancy something different and trying live trad Irish music, great atmosphere and not the hiddley diddley you might associate it with.

Loved the place.

Ate well and drunk well. Spent over a grand in a weekend with the wife.

Talking to a mate today, he's just spent 600 quid in two week in Thailand. That includes internal flights, ferrys and digs.

Dublin is cold, expensive

 

Thailand is warm, cheap

 

No contest

 

It's like comparing Bolton to Barbados.

went the other month 

 

it's isn't that expensive 

 

and temple bar was great

 

if you go and avoid temple bar there's a good chance you're a nonce

 

stayed in the north star, 20 mins from airport, if that. close enough to everything you need to

Best city around IMO.

 

Cheap flights, great pubs, good music and beautiful women.

 

I stayed in the Maldron hotel last weekend which was good for the money and a short walk into town and temple bar.

 

Get a bus pass from the airport for the length of your stay, covers all of your transport and sight seeing plus gives you discounts to attractions...go to the jail it's amazing.

 

And say hi to Sinead for me :)
