The Cobblestone Pub doesn’t have much for curb appeal but I heard about it on Anthony Bourdain’s Dublin layover show and it was a short walk from our Airbnb in Smithfield Market area (check out map above). Great music, beer selection and nice outside area. This was our last pub stop while in Dublin so […]
The Church is a beautiful bar located away from the Temple area (but within walking distance). Check out the map to see the location in relationship to Temple Bar/Trinity College/Jameson/Guinness Storehouse. We walked there on the way back to the Smithfield Market area. Always interesting […]
The Palace Bar was established in 1823 and is a beautiful bar inside and out. Worth a stop if you are in Dublin. Check out their website for more info: http://www.thepalacebardublin.com/#home/
The Porterhouse Brewing Co. is a brewpub located in the Temple area of Dublin. This was the only brewery I could find in Dublin (besides Guinness of course). The bar opened in 1989 as a craft beer bar importing various beers from around the world and then they became Ireland’s first brewpub in 1996. According […]
Grogan’s Castle Lounge was recommended by a bartender we met at The Green Hen. They had lots of taps which was nice. We stopped and had a couple pints before moving on to our next stop. We did have a great Italian dinner at La Cucina restaurant on the same street. Stop into Grogan’s […]
The Green Hen Restaurant became our favorite pub in Dublin. We made two stops during our 5 day visit to Dublin. The staff were very friendly and the space is beautiful (and not as busy as some of the other “popular” Dublin pubs). We did not eat here but their food also looked […]
The Brazen Head bar is a short walk from the Guinness Storehouse and is the oldest pub in Ireland (established 1198). We stopped in for lunch and the space is large and awesome. I ordered the beef and Guinness stew and my wife ordered the steamed mussels. Both were great. Our other travel friends […]
The Guinness Storehouse is the top tourist attraction in Dublin and is on the grounds of the Guinness Brewery. Apparently Guinness is only brewed at this location and in Africa. The museum is probably the best beer museum I have ever visited. You don’t get to tour the brewery but you are on the grounds, […]
The Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland is definitely a must visit spot if you are ever in Dublin. Established in 1840 so it has lots of character. I heard a statistic (not verified) that Dublin has one bar for every 100 people that […]
