A friend once said to me, “Italians are good at cooking, and that’s why there are Italian restaurants everywhere. The Irish are good are drinking, and that’s why there are Irish bars everywhere”. He had a point. Dublin is heaving with pubs and its nightlife is unrivalled in Europe.
Just as with restaurants, most of Dublin’s pubs are located in Temple Bar, although this part of the city is almost exclusively populated with tourists all year long. On weekend nights it can get particularly rowdy due to noisy crowds of stag and hen parties who sing their way through the streets.
Instead Georges Street, just south of Temple Bar, has got some of the city’s best bars. Two streets parallel from here is one of the city’s strips – South Wiliam Street which has bars from top to bottom. Wexford Street and Baggot Street are another two of the city’s streets famed for their selection of bars.
One of the biggest changes in Dublin’s social life over the last number of years is the emergence of trendy bars all over the city. But of course, the biggest change is the fact that, just like as in California and New York, you can no longer smoke in the city’s bars or nightclubs.
For up to date listings for whats going on in Dublin, pick up a copy of a free fortnightly publication called ‘The Event Guide’ which can be picked up in Tower Records on Wicklow Street.
