Eating
Dublin has a great choice of places of interest when it comes to
eating. Cuisine from all around the world is to be found in the city.
If you want however to experience this famous ‘cafe’ atmosphere, you
could try The Cobalt Cafe (16 North Great George Street), the Winding
Stair Cafe (40 Lower Ormond Quay), Avoca Handweavers (11-13 Suffolk
Street) or even the more warehouse-style Bad Ass Cafe where Sinead
O’Connor was once a waitress (9-11 Crown Alley). |
Please note that most
cafes are not open after 6pm.
Leo Burdock’s (2 Werburgh St) is well-known as being the ‘best chipper
in Dublin’. Its delicious fish and chips cause serious congestion at
its door at any hour of the day.
Drinking The pub is a focus point in Ireland, where people get to
‘socialize’ be it with friends or strangers. Pubs generally close at
midnight Thursday to Saturday and at 11.30pm on Sundays. Please be
prepared to order your last pint(s) 30mn before closing time. Dublin is
jammed packed with pubs and listing them all would be tedious and
almost impossible. Here are a few places of interest although you may
find a tiny local pub much more to your taste. Some of the best
old-style traditional pubs: Patrick Conway’s on Parnell St, John
Mulligan’s on Poolbeg St, the Stag’s Head on Dame Ct, the Dawson Lounge
on Dawson St (the smallest pub of the country!), and so many more…
Some of the best live music pubs: The Cobblestones on North King St,
Oliver St John Gogarty on Fleet St, The International Bar on Wicklow
St, Bruxelles on Harry St, O’Donoghues on Merrion Row, Mother Redcaps
on Back Lane, Christchurch, the Brazen Head on ???, and again so many
more…
A growing number of trendy bars are also to be found around the city.

Shopping The main shopping streets of Dublin are Grafton St and around
on the Southside and around Henry St on the Northside. Both areas are
packed with shops and department stores, but you will realise that
Grafton St shops are more expensive and posh. Temple Bar and the area
around Grafton St are a very good spot to shop for designer clothes,
either new or second-hand. You will come across Irish Crafts &
Souvenirs shops all around the city.
Markets are also very popular : the Meeting House Square Market
(Meeting House Square in Temple Bar) takes places every Saturday and
offers top organics produce from around the country, as well as many
snacks, fresh bread and cheese. George’s St Arcade (between South Great
George St and Drury St) is packed with second-hand shops and original
stalls. |
