Has anyone here been to Dublin recently? We had a lucky twist of fate and are going for a few days next week, we were invited to a wedding!
Are there any Zoner recommendations, places to eat, music, art, history? All the wedding guests are getting tickets to visit the Guinness brewery, we have that covered. I hear the pubs in the central district frequently have live traditional music.
(We're not going to Ringaskiddy)

Guinness Brewery is ok but if
Guinness Brewery is ok but if you really want a 'real' Guinness get out of Dublin and hit the first country / local pub you find and the tap wont be nearly a mile from the kegs and the taste will be even better - Temple Bar is fine for a walkabout for some live music and locals/tourists but its touristic...head east along the River Liffy towards the Samuel Beckett Bridge, on the south side is The Ferryman bar and a few blocks from there is the Marker Hotel, great Rooftop bar at the Marker...There's a shit ton of stuff to do in Dublin - https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/16/travel/things-to-do-in-36-hours-in-du...
Whatever you do, dont order a Black and Tan in any proper Irish bar, especially if the bartender is on the older side unless you want to get a ration of shit...
Enjoy

We had a good trip although the plane flew way north to avoid a storm system in the North Atlantic. I think we flew over Greenland. First lesson of the day, Tacsaithe means Taxi. Gaelic is taught in school and most folks speak both Gaelic and English.

Teeling distillery is the
Teeling distillery is the first whiskey distilled in Dublin in like 100 years. Cool little tour, the poitín is great, it's Irish moonshine.
This year I am going north. Starting in Dublin then up north along the coast into Northern Ireland then to donegal and down west to Galway. After this trip, I will have traveled the entire coast of the Emerald Isle.
So so far my favorite towns are Dingle, Doolin, and Galway.
