Patrick Kenny Ideas

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
