Delights of Dublin

Hi,

On sunday, I'm off to sample the delights of Dublin for a few days. A mate of mine is having a 40th birthday & has booked a few of us on a trip to this fine city. As we are going to be there for a few days, do anyone have any recomendations of places to drink, eat & be merry? Any decent sites to look at? Any decent record shops? etc, etc.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Dean
Not been myself, but watched a tv prog about Dublin delights a while ago.
One thing that really appealed to me was a tour of the city in a WW2 duck, amphibeous landing craft. Tour starts in the canals and then moves onto the streets, all in the same vehicle.
Obviously proper Guiness has to be done

 

I spent six weeks in Dublin in 1983. Can't remember anything, which is surely a good sign. I think it's a bit like Switzerland, only fun ;-)

 

take the tour around the jamosons distellary,half way round they'll ask for volanteers,get in quick as its to undertake a whiskey sampling at the end of the tour Kilmainham Gaol is worth a look.pub wise definatley pay a vist to the porterhouse,at one time they claimed to be the olny pub in town not selling guiness
