Here's what I got from my coworker Patrick a few months ago:
Things to do in Dublin, plenty to do but here are a few
things that might be worth trying if you get the chance:
- Kilmainham
Jail – an old prison, meant to be a very good
- Croke Park
Stadium and GAA Museum – A view into the Irish national past time and one
of the biggest amateur organizations in the world. The equivalent to the
football play-offs is on over the next few weeks so well worth finding out
a time of the game and watching in a pub, very entertaining to watch and
experience the rivalries between counties rather than franchises!
- St.
Stephens Green – if weathers nice, it’s a fun place to walk through at
lunch
- Abby
Theatre – worth seeing if there is a good show on
- Jeanie
Johnston Tall Ship and Famine Museum
Pubs to visit in & around Dublin
- John
Kehoe’s (9 South Anne Street) – a great little “old man pub” for Guinness.
A place visit when I am home. Great spot any evening of the week, there
will always be a nice crowd in there and traditional music often just
starts up out of nowhere.
- Stags head
– Victorian era place
- Brazen
Head (20 Bridge Street) – oldest pub in Dublin. They have Irish folklore
story telling one or two nights a week which is something different.
- O’Donoghues
Bar – 15 Merrion Row – great live music, very popular pub
Cork
- Cobh –
last port Titanic stopped in before it sank.
- City of
Cork
- Sine E
Pub – Irish music a number of nights a week
- Gougane
Barra – picturesque area
- Kinsale,
West Cork (costal town).
- Inchydoney
Beach – surfing
