One of the most popular capitals in Europe, Dublin is a city steeped in history. Huddled together within a small vicinity you’ll find Viking remains, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian squares and excellent museums. But it’s not just about buildings – music, theatre, literature and pubs play just as strong a part in Dublin’s atmosphere. These highlights are the must-sees for any visitor who wants to truly capture the variety and vibrancy of the city.

Located off the tourist beaten track in the working class district of Phibsborough Bohemian FC provides a flavour of the lives of ordinary Dubliners north of the Liffey. Dublin is the heart of football in Ireland & provides three of the country’s biggest clubs: Bohemians, Shamrock & Shelbourne. Bohemians play at Dalymount Park, until 1971 also the home of the national side. The ground is hemmed in by terraced housing & can only be reached by walking down menacing little alleyways. There is one large modern stand, known as the Jodi Stand, the rest of Dalymount is unattractive & decrepit much like Phibsborough itself. Dalymount Park can be reached easily by taking a bus from O’Connell Street. The season runs from march to November, matches are usually played on Friday evenings. Tickets are 20 euros for the Jodi Stand, 15 euros for the Des Kelly & Connaught Street Stands.

Part of a chain of 1950's themed American Diners with red vinyl booths and chrome counters. Massive portions including hamburgers, hot dogs, fries etc and milkshakes made with real ice cream.
" There ain't no finer diner" -
Excellent food in a very convivial atmosphere in the heart of Temple Bar. If there's more than two of you, though, you will need to book.

The best place to eat wings - anywhere!!
As an amateur conoisseur of chicken wings I can tell you that these are the best - no words can accurately describe their greatness. Don't be put off if you don't like to use your fingers to eat (fingerbowls are provided anyway) - there are plenty of other tasty items on the menu. The salads are very tasty - we like to share a main course salad as a side dish between a few of us. Burgers are very filling - especially the Elephant Burger!
There's a nice Pinot Grigio on the wine list that seems to go with everything plus they offer cute elderflower and ginger drinks too for the tee-totallers.
I don't think I've ever made it to dessert here so can't comment - coffees are good and they used to also serve bowls of coffee & hot chocolate (as they do in Europe) which I always thought was a lovely touch.
Situated right in the heart of Temple Bar, you can go for a long walk about to walk off the meal when you've finished!
