Popular Post El Presidente Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Posted June 19, 2019 it looked great. A big room in the heart of Dublin on top of a famous pub. Price was sweet Well "The Temple bar" is the central heart of the Dublin party district. 100's of people partying and band playing until 2am....just before the cleaning crew moves in. Our apartment is this one Earplugs didn't cut it. Noise cancelling headphones + earplugs did the job. Not my smartest play but fun all the same. Tapping this out having a Por larranaga 5th Avenue regional at the Morgan Hotel down the road (Thanks Andy for the tip!). I think that I will stay here in the future. Time to catch up on some posts. 5 6
JoeyGunz Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I'm jealous, I bloody love Dublin and I love that pub you're above I could happily spend 2 day's straight in there. You should have just admitted defeat and headed down for some guiness and oysters and their own whisky's great...

When At University, I was set to do an Erasmus exchange scheme and do a part of my degree in Amsterdam. Anyway went the the University secretary in Manchester, and asked "can you give me the details for the Uni in Amsterdam?" she gives me a contact name and a street address. I was teetotal at the time, and wanted to avoid any noise or partygoing, so I booked a Christian Youth Hostel in the centre of Amsterdam, hoping the most evil entity in the building would be my good self, and I can have a peaceful nights sleep...........wrong! I was in an 18 man dorm surrounded by homeless smackheads, all burnouts from the red light district Nighttime was pretty tense, with the definite feeling that everyone was waiting for me to fall asleep and rob me blind..........well they didn't...............not until I went to go and have a shower anyway. Came back to find my locker crowbar'd open. Joy the kicker was, the secretary had arranged a 6mth Erasmus stay NOT in Amsterdam!!.......but 100miles away in a sleepy town called Enschede!!! On the upside It turned out to be exactly what I needed

BoliDan Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 The Arlington across the street, decent price, also has live music in their pub, but they stop around 10pm. It's across the Liffy from Fleet Street/temple bar so no drunken noise all night. More locals tend to hang out at Camden Street if you want to be around a more Irish crowd at the pubs. Fleet Street can be a bit overwhelmingly touristy, but still great fun. I love Temple Bar for day drinking (music still going on at 1 in the afternoon on a weekday) Camden Street is about a 15 minute walk from JJ Fox. ? If you have some shopping time, take Di to a store called "Penneys" right in that neighborhood up O'Connell St. Designer clothes for super cheap. I found some Ralph Lauren slacks for $13 with zero flaws. my wife went nuts. Hope you get to see the country too! Love me some Ireland. 1 1

benfica_77 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Dublin is a good time! Check out Dicey's! Hell of a club/bar, went when I was single with my best friend and we learned quickly that Irish gals are very friendly and very direct.....one asked my best friend and I if we wanted to "Eiffel Tower" hahaha...I will leave you to your imagination to figure out what she meant. 1
La_Tigre Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 How funny! We stayed at the Fitzsimons Bar about two floors higher than the view from this photo. Also not the best choice for the night before flying back to Dallas.... All sounds great on paper “staying at the Temple Bar in Dublin!!” until.... ? ?. ? 5 hours ago, Fuzz said: 2am? Why are you sleeping at 2am?! This is where I was at, I’ll sleep when I’m dead.

wineguy Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I’ve consumed a few beverages there- it should be a great time! I once was trying to talk up a young lady who pretended she didn’t speak English and then my friend heard her speaking perfect English... ?

Didn't want to lock eyes during the building of the structure My friend had a solo adventure with her. He made it up later on the trip wingmaning for me. Fun adventures.
HDGSN Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Sounds like our apartment in Bratislava last summer. Literally 2nd floor of the tower looking down the center of the big bar street. Had no idea Bratislava:Stag Parties::Nashville:Bachelorette Parties

If Di needs some nice woolies, we recommend Cleo just off St Stephens Green at 18 Kildare St. Don't forget the Cobblestones for the real Irish music.77 King St N, Smithfield, Dublin Great hanging with you in Maiori. Oh, my suitcase finally got to Minneapolis today. As soon as I unpacked my clothes, one of the cats pissed in it... 4 1
Rrm7284 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 The Church Bar about 2 blocks behind the Morrison (right across the river from Temple Bar) has a great outdoor section with heated umbrellas. My go-to for smoking cigars in Dublin.
