Dublin To-Do List

Food:

  • Pho Ta – best Vietnamese food I have ever had, 12/10 recommend getting a crispy noodle cake
  • Pitt Bros – good BBQ
  • Murphy’s – handmade ice cream, expensive, but worth it. Recommend Cinnamon and Irish Soda Bread
  • Jo’Burger – unique burger place
  • Arthur’s Pub – the Shepard’s Pie is AMAZING. This restaurant is really close to the Guinness Storehouse

Activities:

  • Cliffs of Moher – a MUST do! Paddywagon Tours was a great company to go with. I would book this before the end of January if you are going for St. Patty’s Day
  • Guinness Tour – buy your tickets online ahead of time (~2 hours)
  • Patrick’s Cathedral
  • Trinity Library
  • Dublin Castle
  • Copper – a really fun bar / club to go out to

St. Patty’s Day:

  • The liquor stores don’t open until 12, so buy your alcohol the night before
  • Nothing really opens until 12, so pregame in the room and head out to the temple bar area at 11:15ish
  • People go all out, so dress up
  • Everyone will be in the Temple Bar Area and at Temple Bar. Temple Bar is fun and worth checking out but it’s super expensive. I would drink somewhere else before going to Temple Bar
  • MOST BARS ARE 21+!!!! BRING THE RIGHT ID!!!
