 | Dublin Drinking Reviews | 1 - 10 of 12 |  |
If you have read my tips under local customs this one might seem a bit strange, but my biggest problem in Dublin wasn't all the over drunk people, but the fact that both clubs and pubs were closing way too early.
It's one thing that the pubs are closing around 1.30-2am, but it's a scandal that all the clubs are closing at the same time!
In the summer! In the middle of the tourist season!?
Hello...? There was one club next to the Liffy River that closed around 2.30 am, but it was very snobbish and seemed to be quite expensive.
Apparently the Irish goes out to the pub at 6pm, and then stay there until it close.
Sorry for me being swedish, but I'm not used to go out until 11pm.
So don't do my mistake, and go out early! Otherwise you risk to go home way more sober than you had planned to do. Leave a Comment

- A True Dub! by orlikins
Naturally a UK Dublin stag or hen party is not complete til someone has puked their guts up in the middle of the street - the ultimate sign of a good night out, right?! No wonder stags & hens are practically barred from the city.
I was once told in college, that you can't consider yourself to be a True Dub until you've barfed on O'Connell St on a Saturday night. :-)) If you're out in Dublin at 2am on a Saturday night, you won't believe the amount of public dumping (from top and bottom) that goes on. It's not just the locals, you tourists do it here too.
To be honest, it is rare for me not to encounter urine or vomit in the streets of Dublin City Centre. Why don't people have the manners and the self-control to use a bathroom or not drink so much. Oh I don't know, I must be getting old ;) Leave a Comment

We found Dublin quite an expensive city to drink in. I'm not sure if we were just unlucky in the places that we went to. We made a point of avoiding Temple Bar as far as drinking was concerned, thinking it would be more reasonable but still found it a lot more expensive than home.
One thing we did notice though was that when ordering spirits and a mixer, say vodka and coke or a Jimmy & Ginger [Jamiesons whiskey & ginger ale], they charge you for the mixer as if its a seperate drink so it does make it a lot more expensive than we were used to paying at home. Pints of Guinness seemed more reasonable though. Leave a Comment

 The Black Stuff! by orlikins
You have been warned, mes cheries.
A new law has been passed banning "Happy Hour", so there is no chance of getting cheap drink around here now.
Oh yeah, smoking is banned in pubs and restaurants! Leave a Comment

Do not try to keep up with the Irish drink for drink. This not a good idea, however, good it may seem at the time. Leave a Comment

Keep your wits about you around Temple Bar on Friday and Saturday nights. The area is these days full of people who are horrendously drunk, and occasionally aggressive. My last Friday night there, I saw two ambulances and three police cars pull up in the space of 20 minutes.
