I'm off there for 4 days at the end of next week for a mates 40th birthday thing and were on the look out for some decent places to go of an evening and some interesting time fillers for during the day....

Basically there's 8 of us going (all chaps ) and none of us have been before but all fancied a taste of some Irish lol

So any suggestions on places to eat, drink & dance?

Were staying in the Abbott Lodge Guesthouse, 87/88 Lower Gardiner street, D1 Dublin.

Whats the nightlife like? Any good clubs and maybe **cough** Gentlemans clubs **cough** lol

Looking to hire a limo as a surprise to collect us from the airport and take us to the hotel also

 

ye sound like candidates for copper face jacks and flannerys, ye will enjoy yerselfs in those two alone
im sure other dublin members will give you more suggestions

 

Thanks Alan!

 

i'm going in december for a long weekend for a xmas drink with old friends.

can i ask where your staying mate? is it cheap and cheerful or a nice hotel? i'm just after a place to rest my head but Ireland doesn't seem to have an alternative to a travelodge or ibis etc etc. i've just found privately run hotels which to me seem reasonable, but its more than i want to pay


ooh, and why not do the guinness factory tour? i want to do that.

 

If your looking for hotels I stayed at the Grand Canal Hotel which was nice. Got a bar there which is ok (not for a whole evening but not a bad place to start).

Mr Orionmojo... See the 'were staying in the....' part in my first post lol

 

Just find Temple Bar, like a mini strip.

Also there was this mad pub down there (i'll try get you the name) but when instead of a kicking out time they had a trap door that lead to a club under the pub in what i can only assume was a massive celler. Shit was off the hook!

Day time activites, the guiness factory is always good plus the bar provides good views.

 

and take a mortgage out, the irish still think they living in the boom, its expensive. i travel there alot
