Thought you folks might like one or two tips when visiting Dublin. I'm just back, so wanted to share what I'd learned.

Good accommodation outlet: http://www.graftonguesthouse.com
Hip niteclub: http://www.rira.ie
Good reasonable restaurant: http://www.cafebardeli.ie
Excellent bar: http://www.globe.ie
More up-market restaurant: http://www.odessa.ie

Looks like you spent most of your nights out round Georges St then!!

Good reccomendations!

stay away from temple bar. it's as if all the english chavs were squished into one small place, the girls all wearing too much white and faux louis vuitton; the boys all wearing hair gel and fake gucci trainers - yuk!

I found Dublin fine as a city break, but if you're looking for the cosy Irish craik [?] stay away - it's not particularly friendly and it's expensive. Just like most other cities really.

I would also recommend going on the Guinness tour. Lovely to have a nice relaxing drink when you get to the top with stunning views.

If you wanna good Irish City for nightlife

its defo either

-Dublin

or

-GALWAY

Guiness tour was fab, queues for it though, free pint of guiness at the end too.

Take loads of money, food and drink are really expensive.

Hi, I'm a Dubliner and I have to agree with what is posted here. I agree, stay away from Temple bar for nighlife. It is very expense, however, for anyone planning a visit freedublin.com lists plently of hidden gems and ways to get to know the city for Free.


P.s Craic is the correct spelling.
