GUIDE TO DUBLIN
Hiya! 1 #LOVEDUBLIN
WELCOME
Dublin may well be steeped in history and can boast of austere authors and architecture but for us at Le Cool, it’s the contemporary crackle of newness and the cultural niches that can be found in Dublin’s nooks and crannies that are of most interest. Despite its ability to host Europe’s largest tech conference in The Summit, Dublin is still perfectly small. As such, it’s light on its feet and versatile, making it hard, sometimes, to catch its true essence. So what to do and where to go? Dubliners are a disruptive bunch when it comes to city innovation, always gently ushering out the old generation while making room for the new. It’s in that spirit that The Summit, Le Cool and Visit Dublin present this booklet on the very best, the coolest and the down right unmissable things you need to see and do while you are here. Sample our amazing food scene, our burgeoning coffee culture, our standard of live music and the quirks, curios and characters that combine to make our city great and one which we are proud to call home. For the next few days it’s your home too.
GETTING TO YOUR HOTEL FROM THE AIRPORT
On landing in Dublin Airport, there’s no need to panic. It is well served by several Dublin Bus routes (dublinbus.ie), queues of taxis at the ranks, and the incredibly reliable Aircoach (aircoach.ie), which runs roughly every fifteen minutes. When booking online, use the code ‘summit’ for a 20% discount, and allow about an hour for your journey.
GETTING AROUND DUBLIN
Dublin’s a small enough city, making it easily enjoyed on a Dublin Bike (dublinbikes.ie). Register your account online, and the world is your oyster. Another great resource for getting around the city is the Hailo App (hailocab.com/dublin). Order your taxi online, and you’ll be ensured a registered driver, and you’ll have all their details before you even jump in. The smart, streetwise way to get around.
BLENDING IN
You won’t stand out like a Tony Tourist with our guide to blending in. First thing’s first – if ordering a round of drinks, order the Guinness first. We always thank the bus driver when we alight the wagon, and we’re known to utter “sorry” to excess. When not saying sorry, we’re talking about the weather, or describing things as ‘grand’. Follow these steps, and you won’t even need to put on a Darby O’Gill brogue to pass for a local. You’re very, very welcome. dublin.lecool.com @lecooldublin

SPEAKERS The Summit may be 9 to 5, but it sure ain’t the daily grind. The Summit is a conference without borders, attracting tech startups, media enthusiasts, philanthropists and entrepreneurs alike. AARON LEVIE Box Thursday

When you’re all tuckered out from a day of being fed exciting new ideas and inspirational anecdotes, it’s time to leave the RDS, and traipse into Dublin town, because The Summit isn’t just about perplexing the little grey cells with interesting lectures, enlightening discussions, and intense networking; it’s also about enjoying the party atmosphere that Dublin offers in spades. The hi-jinx from 7pm on Tuesday night will be focused in the regions of Fade Street, in Dublin’s Creative Quarter. By night it’s a buzzing convergence of Dublin’s hippest bars and restaurants. Good times also abound on Dame Lane, where much of the post-summit activity is concentrated from 7pm on Wednesday evening. On Thursday night, The Summit will be holding a bash in Temple Bar’s Meeting House Square, from 7pm until ‘late’. Late sounding pretty ominous in a good way, eh?! Prepare to dance like a loony with Le Galaxie...

EAT D
ubliners have the glow of the supremely satiated right about now. The explosion of hip, varied and affordable eateries in the city in recent years is testament to those spearheading this revolution from the kitchen to front of house, it’s also a marker of the fickle nature of the food game. Businesses thrive on buzz and recommendation – if it doesn’t cut the mustard, it won’t last long. If Dublin looks to anywhere for its thoughts of food, it’s to New York. The burger is back and is taking on the falafel and the burrito, even the cronut has reared its sweet sugary head here. Keenly aware that whatever is brought to the table, even if that table is an up-turned door with a glass top, will be judged by internationally savvy diners. The source and provenance is of upmost consideration to chefs and proprietors at the head tables.

COFFEE D
ublin has come a long way since the first recorded coffee shop – Cock Coffee House – opened on Cook Street in 1660. And though Dublin has had coffee for 300odd years, it's really only in the past few that we've fostered a bean-scene worthy of international buzz. Why? Because conditions are perfect here. Our tap water quality is the envy of New York, London and Paris and Irish milk is seen internationally as a premium product. That, coupled with our new found fad of recreational tasting, makes it fair to say that, yes, it's business time. For those of you who cannot survive without the daily grind, let us put forward the argument that Dublin has the opportunity to be one of the world's best coffee cities. Our baristas are now competing well on an international basis and with the World Championships coming here in 2016 we've got the time, the enthusiasm and the focus on quality to make Dublin famous for a different type of black stuff. In the meantime, though, here is your list of the top places to go for a cup of joe.

DRINK A
s uneasy an honour it is to carry sometimes, there’s no escaping the fact that Dublin is the world’s drinking capital. Had religion not played such a dominant role in Ireland’s history, Dubliners would surely be praying to a some sort of Guinness God by now; a drink deity that granted wishes on those who sacrificed each evening at the bar altar. The pub is our real church. Not only is it the natural home of the confessional but there is no other congregation as willing to sing in harmony as one that gathers of a Saturday night in the many ‘locals’ to imbibe.
#LOVEDUBLIN
In James Joyce’s Ulysses, Leopold Bloom muses that a good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub. But that misses the point, the real puzzle is figuring out how to traverse Dublin knowing which pubs to enter. Thank heavens for Le Cool then, here is our top Summit tips to tarry for a fragrant hour (or two). Sit at the bar, strike up a conversation and leave knowing the a visit to a Dublin pub is another thing off your bucket list. Soak it up.

SHOPPING Shopping in Dublin is a dangerous pursuit; there’s so much to tempt the smitten visitor. While our high streets continue to thrive, the small, independent retailers are where it’s really at. The emergence of hip hang-out spaces which offer attentive and knowledgeable service as well as being clued into the provenance of what’s on sale – whether it’s far-flung or local is key. The best Irish makers and doers will be represented at The Summit’s own in-house shop, Crated, with a range of goods that are set to seduce you. Of course, we can’t mention shopping without bowing down to Ireland’s oldest and wisest high-end department store, Brown Thomas. It’s the jewel in Grafton Street’s crown, and don’t even try to resist, ‘cause it will always get you in the end!

THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL D
ublin has ‘weird and wonderful’ written on its forehead. It offers a multitude of experiences for the inherently adventurous and knowledge-hungry visitor. With a history tinged with the spooky writings of Bram Stoker, which are celebrated with a festival in his honour, bars and pubs in which stories of the late, great Irish writers still abound, and a theatrical bent that may well see you subsumed into a Grafton Street performance, Dublin’s a no holds barred city. Dance on the cobbles if you dare, stumble upon some retro Nintendo in the R.A.G.E, or get daredevilish with some spray paint from All City Records (although not in an illegal manner.) Dublin’s your oyster, so dust it with some Tabasco, wash down with a Guinness, and enjoy…

ESSENTIAL DUBLIN Dublin’s a small metropolis surrounded by a varied landscape; the city-scape is lined with long, sandy beaches and quays, and punctuated with the city canals and the Liffey. Beyond that, there are the rolling waves of the Irish sea, and the rocky summits of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains. With such variety comes great responsibility, if you’re into channeling your adrenaline into outdoor pursuits. Grab a Dublin Bike, and saunter the cycle lanes – the Grand Canal was made for lazy cycles – or grab a good-time pal and try an extreme sport for an inimitable rush of energetic excitement.
