“The night will fly and the craic
will be mighty if you sit in on a
traditional Irish music session.”
7. Score at Croker
Essential to understanding the passion of Ireland’s national
games is an access-all-areas tour of Croke Park Stadium.
You’ll learn all about hurling and Gaelic football from
ancient times to the modern day. Walk through the
dressing rooms and take in the view from the top tier of
the stand.
8. Kayak on the Liffey
See the city from a completely different angle on a kayak
– it’s one of the best things to do during the day and in the
evening too. City Kayaking, beside the famous emigrant
tall ship the Jeanie Johnston at Custom House Quay, will
get you afloat in no time.
9. Dine somewhere cool
Great hang-outs for a trendy night of great food include
Fade Street Social, where top Irish chef Dylan McGrath
has combined a tapas bar, restaurant and cocktail lounge.
Bear probably has the best beef in Dublin. Try the
succulent feather steak and chips, or its sublime rib eye
dishes. For gastro-pub food taking it to the next level
L.Mulligan Grocer is big on the scene.
