Hi guys. Travelling to Dublin for a couple of days in August (from 15th to 18th) with my wife. Staying in a hotel near Aviva Stadium.
I will take a look at the places section later but, Is it updated? Any new good venue in the city? I am specially interested in a place with craft irish beer and good live Irish music. Any idea???
Also, we are going to The Big Grill Festival (https://www.biggrillfestival.com/) on Saturday. Is not a strictly craft beer festival but there will be a good range of craft beers and ciders.
The Cobblestone pub is famous for it’s traditional music and has some decent (Irish) craft beer.
The Porterhouse (Temple Bar is my fav but Central is also good) have live music and good beer. The music will be “Irish” (in that it is performed by people from Ireland) but I seem to remember sometimes the styles vary. I’m not really there for the music so I don’t always pay attention
A new-ish venue is The Big Romance http://thebigromance.ie/ but I haven’t tried it yet - not too many Irish beers by the look of the menu online at least.
I’ve also been meaning to try J W Sweetman https://www.jwsweetman.ie/ - they have a range of their own beers plus some other Irish ones, as well as an international selection.
@Taboada You can check my place ratings from 2017 when I was there. Tried to visit a lot of places so maybe that will help! We probably had the same hotel, I was there for a concert back then, stayed at a hotel very close to Aviva Stadium
I went to Dublin in Feb and had a one day stay I would suggest must-see Temple bar there. I was on a business trip so just had 2-3/hr.
