ICTJohnboy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Mr & Mrs Johnboy are off to Dublin for the weekend thanks to a special offer Ryanair flight from Manchester which is working out at less than £40 return in total. Anyone got any suggestions for pubs worth a visit? We both love Irish traditional music. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus and me took my parents there a couple of years ago and it was magic. The night took a slightly bizarre turn after we left when Neil Lennon appeared from behind a bush beside us. We tried not to let it spoil our night though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Any particular reason for reaching that conclusion?I was there for new year 10 years ago and thought it was shite, completely overpriced and tacky. The Guinness tour was alright i suppose but I wasn’t a fan of the city at all and spent an absolute fortune when there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah I liked Belfast and I’m sure I’d like other parts of Ireland and would like to travel about there but I wouldn’t want to spend a second in Dublin if I didn’t need to be there. I hate to bang on about how expensive it was but there is absolutely no way that a city of Dublin’s calibre should be as expensive as London/New York. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Not a massive fan of Dublin either, having been twice. Temple bar area is fucking horrible at night, full of utter fannies and any Irish I've encountered there seem to want to be bitter about all the foreign drunks taking up all the room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know he's going to Dublin but Ryanair will probably fly him to Belfast and bus the rest of the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish they call it 'Stab City' The locals must be hard and quite gritty, Dairs more to Ireland dan dis, Hence I'll give it a miss, As Limerick sounds rather sh*tty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Wishing I hadn't booked this now. [emoji20] Memo to self. Next time you fancy a weekend away, ask P&B first. I have been to Dublin twice and had a great time both albeit with a squad from work and for a Scotland game. The Temple Bar is what it is, a tourist trap. But you can still have a fantastic time there. Bit of snobbery kicking about here IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
