Me and a few mates are off there tomorrow for the weekend and i thought i would ask NSC if anyone knew of any decent bars / clubs to go to, or if there is anything worth visiting / seeing.

Cheers

What kind of clubs are you looking for? Easy score, any particular kind of music, etc?

As goes seeing, the tourist trail is usually the brewery (Guinness), the distillery (Jameson), the museum (2x national history, 1x art, 1x modern art) and the art gallery (which has Francis Bacon's studio in it).

Oh - and I'd avoid Temple Bar. Its full of pissed up Welsh (and English but to a lesser extent) stag parties vomiting in the street. And its very expensive.

Grafton Street and the streets off it are your friend.

I liked Bruxelles (downstairs in there is pretty good) and The Duke is a pretty sweet pub. There's a massive place up that way that isn't worth going to which is good as I've forgotten what it's called. The club we went to was called Copper Faced jacks I think and it was okay in there although we were utterly destroyed by this point and just wanted to get on the sleaze express. The Porterhouse was an interesting pub on the edge of Temple Bar, anything else in the area is pretty swag to be honest and seemed full of people from Bristol for some reason. If you are in that area go to Fitzsimons which is nicknamed Fartsimons for obvious reasons, it's STINKS of arsefaries in there. Dublin is f***ing expensive by the way.

Copper Face Jacks is what I was going to recommend if 'easy score' came back as the answer. The Gaiety down off Stephens Green is somewhere I've recommended on here before to a few people, most like it - some don't.

Theres a few branches of the Porterhouse - Nassau Street, one in Temple Bar, one out north of the city; unfortunately none are brew-on-site anymore as they got too big but they're all microbrewery beers/ales/largers/weissbiers/etc from their own brewery in Bray now.

Be warned that there is insanely early closing times now - at least until we get rid of the tee-totaller Minister for Justice. 2:30am everywhere.

Go to O'Niells and get the club sandwich, I promise you it is the BIGGEST sandwich you will EVER see. POrterhouse is good, and as Max said, everything is around Grafton Street

it is not the chain O'Niells like we get here

There is a pub underground near St Stephens Green which was 4euros a pint of Guiness which was pretty good going

I liked that Porterhouse in Temple bar because of the layout, shame about the lack of onsite brewing nowadays.

As far as I recall, there aren't really any. You might be better of heading out into the suburbs.
