Dublin

[Captain Oats]

Going to Dublin this weekend for a bit of a pissup with the lads. All i hear is its massively expensive! but surely there are some places we can get a cheap guiness?

Any advice on where to go, what to see, where to drink, what clubs to go to on fri/sat/sun.
We're all early twenties, student hangouts could work, normally go clubs like 5th ave in manc, but any will do that are decent. We're not a fussy bunch!

cheers guys

Unfortunately anywhere in the Eurozone is expensive these days. I went a coupla years ago and found the back street pubs in the city centre to be a little cheaper than the ones in Temple Bar etc. Big tourist areas like Temple Bar will empty your pocket pretty quickly, you can still get a good atmosphere just have a good wander about, we tried a lot.....in fact, a hell of a lot of back street pubs when we were there!

Just off Stephens green the Dawson lounge Irelands smallest pub and a lovely pint of guinness plus tourists get a shamrock on top.Any time I'm in I go for a pint.

It doesn't have to be as expensive as people make out.

Check out this website for deals on food, early birds etc.

Stay out of temple bar as far as pubs go, here's a quick list of the best central pubs

O'Donohoes
Stags head
Kehoes
Mcdaids
Bruxellles
Hogans
Camden street (good for late bars)



Don't mind the knockers, it's a great night out and stick to the Guinness, it's cheaper.

It seems to be for cheap student drinks head into The Basement Bar on Dame Street they have cheap beer on Friday nights pitchers for €10 and 3 Jagerbombs or Goldshlager for €10. This seems to be the new student hang out from what I have heard. Not too far away from the City Centre and if you get there you will find more student spots or a decent club that they all go to.

I think the name may be wrong but Dunne & Crescenzi is just down from Trinty College whenever I walk by it it is always packed in the summer there was at times people waiting outside for seats on good days. Never been in it not a big fan of Italian food but the prices seem decent value. I am normally a pub grub fan myself with the odd curry thrown in for good value maybe other Dublin blues have been in there.
