Where to stay?
There's no hostel more central than Abigails,
round the corner from the Temple Bar (think
Camden style). It's got a lounge for a great
chat after a night out.
Where to visit?
At the Guinness Storehouse not only do
you get a slice of history at one of the best
known breweries, but you get a few samples
thrown in.
And just a mile away is the National
Leprechaun Museum (nope, I'm not kidding),
filled with tales on Irish folklore. So get stuck
in for a really fun time, if a little barmy.
Where to eat and drink?
For a step away from the city's Irish roots,
Neon's tasty Asian street food is for you, but
if you want traditional, head over to Boxty
House for everything from colcannon to a
warming lamb stew.
Meanwhile Southwilliam's 'martini menu'
offers a fancier bevvy along with sofas and
funky lights, making it a great spot to start
your big night out.
Where to party?
The Button Factory is a top choice, with DJ
sets, live bands and reasonably priced drinks.
Or let the Gaelic traditions get deep into
your soul with some traditional music. So try
out Gogarty's upper room to dance with the
locals until the early morning!
