If there’s one thing that Dublin does well, it’s drinking. This is the city of 751 pubs, and barely a street exists without a watering hole somewhere along the way. The more authentic, older pubs have barely changed in the decades they’ve been open—and no matter the time of day, you’re likely find old men propped up at the bar with a pint of Guinness in hand. A flurry of new cocktail bars have opened across the town, perfect for when you want a change of pace (and a break from the dark ale). Just be sure to avoid the pubs in Temple Bar—generally speaking, they’re overpriced and bawdy.
