In a thread about Dublin?

There is a reason why we discuss Belfast. It's where dubliner's go to shop as everything is so blooming expensive

[suityou01]

Where else would you recommend in central Belfast? The cafe in the town hall is also very nice.

Belfast has a few decent restaurants but still rather lacks friendly bars and lets be honest many don't exactly welcome unknown faces....

I'm not really looking forward to our next visit now the eek jrs go to a catholic secondary school. Some of our irish friends were a mite unhappy.

Even though the tight market at the moment I have the chance of a gig in Dublin. Had a call from the agent on Friday (junior person), who then asked if I was free for a call on Sunday. Of course.

Just had the Sunday call. I know the firm they are hiring for, and previously was accepted at interview but the project was canned (this was 2 years ago, and I found out from another contractor why the project was canned and it was common sense).

So this project in Dublin sounds like a real prospect, considering my niche BPM skills. And there is plenty of work.

So my question is, where is best for a pint in Dublin.

Ask anyone that lives in Dublin and they will laugh if you suggest Temple bar for a decent pint. If you want a good night out then for sure go there, but a decent pint? I don't think so.

Anywhere NOT in Temple Bar.

Didn't Stek do a stint there?

Guinness was 4.80 Euro a pint in local boozer, Heineken (90% of the lager is Heineken) was 5.40 Euro, in the city there's Temple Bar as others said or the Porterhouse on Nassau Street near Trinity, lots of variety but not cheap. In South Beacon Hotel Bar, one of the watering holes on my walk home, Peroni was 7.40 Euro, and in the Copper Bar, craft beers 300ml, about 9 Euro.

Don't expect to get any bar food for less than 12 euro, or a meal in restaurant for less than 20.00.

Takeways charge for delivery and taxi's are freakishly expensive, 12 euro on the meter before you've got anywhere...

Dublin is great though, stick to City Centre and avoid Tallaght! (Pronounced Tallah - the caught me out). Dublin Airport is North of the City, most of the work seems to be South, takes 90 mins to to get across the City. If you take your car, the signs are in kms, a red light means stop but six cars can go through after, you can turn left on red if no traffic, and there are Road Tolls everywhere.....

Its expensive, just bear that in mind...

Innit

Not got it yet though.

I knew this thread had a theme.



Suity you plonker.
