Wax Museum 2 Foster Place On a leafy cul de sac in the dead center of town, Dublin’s wandering Wax Museum finally found its new home a few years ago. Over four stories of a beautiful Georgian building on Foster Place, visitors can take a stroll through scenes from Irish heritage, discover our scientific history or simply ogle some never aging celebs. A healthy mixture of cool and kitsch ensures that the Wax Museum will keep both the young and not so young entertained of an afternoon.
National Museum (Collins Barracks)
IMMA
Benburb Street, Dublin 7
Kilmainham’s Royal Hospital has been the home of Irish modern art since 1991, but it stands as the country’s most spectacular 17th century building. Indebted Paris Les Invalides, IMMA’s sprawling grounds and super-maintained cloisters and courtyard are as fascinating as the art contained within.
Collins Barracks is home to the Decorative Arts & History leg of the National Museum. Featuring a wide range of objects, which include weaponry, furniture, silver, ceramics and glassware as well as examples of Folklife and costume in one of Dublin’s most historically important buildings, Collins Barracks is an essential spot for any visit to the city.

The Long Hall
51 South Greater Georges Street Surrounded on all sides by boom-era glass and concrete, The Long Hall is literally a slice of the old Dublin in its prime location on George’s Street. Befitting of the name, the further you trod down the red-carpeted lounge towards the back, the more distant and inconsequential the hustle and bustle of the city centre seems. Catering equally to both tourists and locals, the Long Hall even earned an in-song shout-out from Bruce Springsteen during his last visit to the RDS.
Chester Beatty Library Dublin Castle, 2 Palace Street
Nestled in the grounds of Dublin Castle, the Chester Beatty Library is a stunning museum and library, featuring a mindblowing collection of texts and artifacts from religions and cultures around the world. The museum is a cornerstone of cultural Dublin, and one of the finest museums in Europe.
The Old Jameson Distillery Bow Lane, Smithfield, Dublin 7
The Old Jameson Distillery is the fount of the real ‘water of life’ in Dublin. An important and fascinating landmark in the history of the city, the old Distillery will also give you a chance to put your taste buds to the test and prove you know your whiskey from your scotch. Offering guided tours daily with a choice of bars to sample a Jemmie, lunch is also served from the mezzanine restaurant.
GAA Museum
Croke Park, Jones Rd., Dublin 3 The GAA Museum at Croke Park houses trophies, cups and medals won by sporting stars Christy Ring, Sam Maguire, Jimmy Doyle, Jack Lynch and Liam MacCarthy to name but a few. Hurleys, jerseys, publications and banners also document the history of the GAA and its unique role as an instrument of Irish nationalist fervour.
8 Words // Aoife Carrigy Any Dubliner can tell you that you won’t get a better pint of Guinness in any other city. And any Guinness drinker can reel off their top ten pubs in which to drink it. (Ours? See the panel below for the crème de la creamy goodness.) No other drink comes under such regular scrutiny from it’s quality control panel, made up of the producers at the brewery, the bar staff who pour hundreds of pints of it every night, and the discerning Guinness drinkers who will pronounce judgment on each and every pint that passes their lips. So, if you want to swill it like a local, you’ll need to know how to recognise a good pint. Fergal Murray is the master brewer at Guinness and the Global Ambassador for the black stuff (or “the black nectar” as he likes to call it). We asked him what the perfect pint of Guinness tastes like. “In terms of the taste of the perfect pint, there are two elements: there’s the sensation, and there’s the flavour. The nitrogenated sensation is crucial in Guinness to give the pint a slight effervescence as well as to achieve the right kind of head. The flavour is achieved through the balance of languid hops at the back of the throat, sweet malt at the front of the tongue and roasted barley along the side of the tongue. So the taste of the perfect pint of Guinness? A combination of sweetness and roasted flavours and those lovely refreshing flavours and sensations.” But the drinking is only the half of it. “We drink with our eyes. And no other drink requires the same visual impact as the perfect pint of Guinness. Part of the allure is witnessing the two-part pour, watching the pint surge and settle.” Having a bartender “who doesn’t disappoint” is crucial too, and “thankfully the bar service in Dublin is truly exceptional”. But perhaps most important is to enjoy your pint in the perfect environment. “This should involve an iconic bar, good people around you, a place that you’re comfortable and feel happy in. Adorers of Guinness have it in their DNA to instinctively seek out these kinds of places to drink Guinness.” Mulligans of Poolbeg Street is one such iconic bar. Gary Cusack runs Mulligans with his brother Ger, having taken over the business from their father Tommy who ran the pub with his brother Con for over 50 years. They’ve poured a few pints in their time. On a busy Friday night, the eight Guinness taps in Mulligans might dispense up to 700 pints of Guinness – each one of them as perfect as the next. Gary reckons that “Guinness have put so much into getting the pint right” so that “you should not get a bad pint in Dublin. It should be smooth and creamy when it goes down and taste like you want another swallow.” So, in a nutshell, what does the perfect pint taste like? Like another pint of plain, please.
THE PERFECT
Pouring the perfect pint There is a perception that Guinness doesn’t travel well, but master brewer Fergal Murray claims this is a myth: “Guinness travels fantastically well” so long as the bar follows these six steps to pouring the perfect pint. 1. The right glassware. You need a clean, well-presented 20 ounce pint glass. 2. The positioning. The glass should be snug under the tap at a 45º angle, with the spout aimed at the back of the harp logo. 3. The pour. The glass should be kept at this 45º angle until the liquid reaches the bottom of the harp logo, at which point you should slowly straighten up, aiming to stop pouring at the top of the harp logo. 4. The cascade. The pint needs to surge and then settle; this step is important for building the strength of the head, which should ideally hold its shape all the way down through the drinking of the pint. 5. The top up. Once the first pour has settled, the pint is topped up. A good head will be 15–18mm in height from the black stuff to the rim of the glass (or the distance from the bottom to top of the harp logo), but crucially it will have a dome of another 3mm beyond the rim of the glass. 6. The presentation. The barman should present the perfect pint with pride (and a steady hand!). If each barman completes each of these steps each time they pull a pint of Guinness, they can achieve and retain the long-term recognition any self-respecting Guinness serving Irish bar could hope for.

& Shane MacGowan has beautiful blue eyes. They’re as clear as seawater and bright like a child’s. They stare back at you from within deep sockets and mesmerize. For Shane MacGowan is a legend in all poetic, charismatic and chaotic senses, and it’s not every day that you find yourself in the home of a legend. For all the reviews, the camera phone images and the two-minute clips on YouTube that point to the contrary, he’s looking pretty good. On Christmas Day he turns fifty and for a fifty-year old who’s spent most of his life touring around the world in bands and doing every drug known to man and beast, Shane MacGowan looks great. Rested, rejuvenated, fresh and smiling. Shane MacGowan could do adverts for Lancome. He’s renting a semi-d in Donnybrook. It’s a nice spot with a long kitchen, hardwood floors and two flatscreen TVs. There’s a post-it on the fridge door saying ‘remind Shane to call dentist’. Shane looks like he’s off to a rockabilly festival or a Blockheads reunion. He’s wearing blue turn-up jeans, a cowboy shirt with red rose motifs and around his neck a madcap collection of jewellery that includes feathers, lockets and bright, white Rosary beads. His hair is greased back into a duck-tail. He slips into a huge leather coat and a mad hatter’s cap and we’re off. “Have you got a car?” he asks. We’re going to Madigan’s, about a hundred yards from where he’s staying. This is Shane’s sense of humour. Like the way he asks for a lot more drink than he actually consumes. So after an hour into an interview, while the journalists are getting drunk, Shane has barely touched the large
gin and tonics and pint of cider in front of him and is stone cold sober. Initially he’s a briar. Diffident and irritable. You’d have thought we were intruding on his Sunday afternoon if it weren’t for the fact that he’s shaved and got dressed up just for us. But still, interviewing him is like trying to make up with your girlfriend after you made a comment about her best friend’s ass, and so you persevere. There were the Pogues, and then the Popes and now it’s the Pogues again, but through it all Shane MacGowan has been the big draw. Even when the Pogues toured the States with Joe Strummer on vocals, there was still a big gaping hole where Shane once stood. He’s one of the few musical personas with the ability to unite three generations of fans. And those fans fall into one of two camps: those who see him as the natural heir to James Charles Mangan and Brendan Behan, and the rest who go to see him perform in the hope of witnessing a car crash. Shane scratches at the stains on the table, pulverises beer mats, runs his long nails round the rim of the glass and eventually mellows and starts talking. He talks about people he’s met. Van Morrison: “When he’s good he’s very good, and when he’s bad he’s horrid”, Sid Vicious: “He was a good friend of mine. He didn’t kill her either, you know? It was set up.” Mickey Joe Harte: “He’s a hell of a lot better than David Gray or Justin what’s his name, ‘Your beautiful, your beautiful’ Blunt.” and Damien Dempsey, “He’s fucking great but he’s too fucking real for people.” He talks about literature. The Beats: “Neal Cassidy was the real thing.
A Sunday afternoon with Shane Patrick MacGowan Words // Conor Creighton Picture // Steve Ryan Kerouac was just a mammy’s boy.” William Burroughs: “You know why he lived so long? He chose the right drug, morphine.” Charles Bukowski: “He was white trash who couldn’t decide whether to fuck or drink.” And he talks about history, a subject that he can speak about for hours. Michael Collins, DeValera, O’ Higgins, Kashmir, the Middle East, Hugo Chavez – somehow the English always crop up. “We haven’t got the stigma of the Brits, which they deserve for going round everywhere and being cunts.” Even when the conversation turns to producing bands he can’t resist a dig. “A good producer is someone who translates what the band wants to the engineer. Someone like Rick Rubin, that’s a producer or Louis Walsh. Whatever you think of him, it’s not his
12
fault there’s a boy band craze but the Irish boy and girl bands were miles better than the English.” Shane grew up near Nenagh in an open house. When the bars were closed people went there to drink, play cards and music. It was also a safe house where IRA men, on the run from the North took cover. Nenagh is a dump. You don’t believe me? Then believe the NRA who had the good sense to construct not one, but three by-passes round the place. “It’s some of the worst farmland in the country,” he says. He remembers climbing into the chasm behind the hearth to get warm in the old family farmhouse. In Shane’s place in Donnybrook, the heating’s at max but he still sleeps with a hat on his head and wakes up at five from the cold. The stories in his songs often have their roots in rainy, cold settings. Somehow you can’t imagine Shane anywhere warm, but then he tells you he’s been going to Thailand for the last twenty years. Him and his girlfriend, Victoria Mary Clarke. “If you go you have to do this retreat in a Buddhist monastery for two-weeks. But it has to be two-weeks,” he says. It’s hard to picture Shane on a beach in summer wear, let alone, cross-legged at the foot of a fat Buddha statue, lost in meditative contemplation. But there’s stage Shane and then there’s regular Shane, the guy who lies across his girlfriend’s lap while she pets his hair and the guy who offers to pay for our taxi home. “You’re not going to walk home are you? Healthy bastards, well that’s encouraging to hear.” And at the end of the interview he offers me his hat. “Take it if you like it, I know where to get ‘em. I’ve had about five at this stage. People are always taking them like this one kid who robbed me when I was at Croke Park last. I chased after the cunt but lost him in the crowd.” Shane MacGowan belongs to an Ireland that most of us would rather forget. The Ireland where grandmothers made petrol bombs, “Milk bottles were better than whisky bottles because the glass was thicker… they used jam rags, as they say down here, as a stopper and a mix of pink paraffin and blue paraffin,” where runaway gunmen were received as heroes in places like Dundalk, Kerry and Nenagh and where the IRA had more meaningful struggles than beating to death 21-year olds in hay barns in Monaghan. Shane MacGowan belongs to an Ireland where you can still smoke in bars. When he goes outside for his first cigarette, he instantly attracts fans looking for autographs. “You’re a gentleman,” they say. Shane MacGowan has black dirt under his nails and his shirt is wrinkled and stained but yes, in all but the most cosmetic of senses, he’s an absolute gent. A guard car zips past. They’ve pulled over
some kid smoking a joint. It’s nothing. The joint is in the gutter before they’ve managed to pull into the footpath. And then they see Shane, and unintentionally of course, Shane saves the kid from getting shit as they circle back and drive towards him. Presumably looking for an autograph. Shane nips back inside before they get the chance. My favourite Shane MacGowan song is ‘A Pair of Brown Eyes’. He says it’s a great leg-over song but that’s as much as he’ll say about his music. He offers to write something for the magazine, something about Rody Boland the IRA man from Nenagh or maybe a travel piece on the good things in Ko Phangan. “Think of your Irish mushrooms times a thousand. You get up to have a slash and suddenly you realise you can’t make it, and this is before you even go to the fucking rave and it’s every fucking night.” Bernadette Devlin, Laurence of Arabia, Wolfe Tone and Ian Paisley: “A showman; a big man with an empty head,” talking to Shane MacGowan is like a history lesson – a manic lesson in Republicanism and socialism and the evils perpetrated by the Brits, punctuated by curses and laughter that discharges from his mouth like air releasing from a tyre. Shane does an impression of Jim Morrison on stage. He adopts a West Coast drawl and lets his arms jiggle free at the shoulders like a preacher caught up in a frenzy: “Hey you there what’s your name? What age are you. What school do you go to? Okay now we know each other a little better why don’t you get up here so we can get dooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooown!”
Unchained Melody comes on the bar’s sound system. Shane sings along to ‘I need your love.’ He gets us to sing along too. So at five ‘o clock in the afternoon the three of us are in a practically empty bar in Donnybrook serenading the bemused Eastern European bartenders who have no idea who Shane MacGowan is, and could probably never fathom our nation’s affection for this guy who can’t reach the Righteous Brother’s high notes. We leave and Shane invites us back to his. He gives us marinated artichokes and beer and we have a smoke while someone in the house plays The Holohan Sisters and the Dubliners from a laptop. Shane isn’t listening to the music he’s too busy trying to explain how James Joyce taught the rest of the world how to use the English language. People around Shane tend to magnify their Irishness, similar in the way that even non-practising Catholics monitor their language and adopt a tone of reverence when around priests or nuns. Shane MacGowan says he’s a little boy inside. It’s true, mischief is written all over him from the way he piss-takes with Victoria and rips the shit out of his entourage and plays up for the camera, and the dictophone. But he’s also got the mind of a brilliant man. He says he’s not writing anything at the moment but the conversation ends with a criticism of contemporary Irish literature. “It’s all agony and the ecstacy,” he says, “I just want the ecstacy.” I ask him would he write a novel himself and he looks away, and for the first time all day he’s left speechless albeit for just a few beats. I’m hoping that silence means yes.

Neary’s
1 Chatham Street, Dublin 2 There’s a reason that Neary’s has remained so consistent over the last few decades – the formula works. Housed in an elegant slice of Edwardian Dublin with its old-world interior still in pride of place, the early evening buzz in Neary’s is a rare sight to behold. With a crowd ranging from theatregoers to thespians from the nearby Gaeity to local suits and Grafton shoppers, Dave and his team of old-school barmen will take care of all your needs.
Mulligans
8 Poolbeg Street, Dublin 2
The International
Originally a shebeen, Mulligan’s has been legit since 1782, making it one of the oldest premises in Dublin city. A magnet for both tourists and natives, traditional pub and sometime Bachelor’s Walk set Mulligans is as renowned as watering holes in town come. Mulligans perfects the basics and in the grand Irish tradition avoids ‘yer fancy stuff’. It’s nonetheless a welcoming refuge for all patrons with an unbeatable back story.
Pygmalion Powerscourt Townhouse, South William St, Dublin 2 Unfolding through the belly of the old Powerscourt Townhouse, Pygmalion is a kind of catch-all venue. By day you can chomp on one of the delicious in-house pies or loll on the pavement seating on a sunny afternoon. By night, armed with dancefloors up and downstairs, the venerable building is transformed into one of the cities most thriving and throbbing clubs, patrons will sweat it out to DJs or take a short break to guzzle a cocktail.
23 Wicklow Street, Dublin 2
Famed for both its earnest singer-songwriter nights, as a great place for a close-quarters guffaw with local comedic talent and even as a small theatre venue, the International has always been a bit of an off-beat, if not quite bohemian place. It has served many patrons in its many guises but has always maintained its understated, proper pub vibe. No fancy makeovers here, just an endless stream of stories and laughs to behold.
The Duke
8-9 Duke Street, Dublin 2 A classic post-office haunt if ever there was one, barely hidden just between Grafton Street and Nassau Street, the Duke is one of the best places in Dublin to indulge yourself with that well-earned pint of a Friday (or indeed any) evening. Combining a prime location with all the fundamentals - plenty of comfy seats, wholesome carvery grub and honest pints - let The Duke be the recipient of your blown-off steam.
16
McDaids
3 Harry Street, Dublin 2
The Lost Society
McDaids is, if we’re honest, the kind of place where you’d call yourself lucky if you’ve nabbed a seat early in the night. It’s a very cosy, shoulder-toshoulder affair where an unbeatable Guinness is only a quick shuffle away and commenting on overheard banter is de rigeur. The perfect place for whiling a night away righting the world’s wrongs with a few close friends or a quiet pint in Brendan Behan’s memory.
Powerscourt Townhouse, South William St., D2 Lost Society is situated in one of the finest 18th century town mansions in the heart of Dublin City, Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. This bar encapsulates the original grandeur of the bygone Georgian er with a modern twist while honouring the heritage of the building. Lost Society is best known for its cocktails - you can even learn to make your own with the bar’s experts mixologists with midweek lessons.
Workman’s Club 10 Wellington Quay, D2
A fairly new nightspot that opened last fall, the Workman’s Club attracts a typical inner-city late-bar clientele in their mid to late-20s. A music venue by design, first and foremost, with a larger main bar downstairs and a smaller area upstairs that both come with no pretensions.
The South William 52 South William St, D2
Established in the boom times on one of Dublins trendiest streets, the South William quickly established itself as a firm favourite with locals. In more trying times, The South William’s staying power is testament to the fact that folks just keep coming back. Early in the evening you can lounge and sip on cocktails or pints to your hearts content while later on a riotous soundtrack of funk, soul and afrobeat from a selection of regular DJs gets the punters’ off their backsides.

18 The Temple Bar Pub 47-48 Temple Bar, Dublin 2
The pub named after and set deep in the heart of Dublin’s most celebrated district is a permanently popular haunt with locals and tourists alike. Convulsing constantly with the sound of chatter, craic and 7-days-a-week music sessions, The Temple Bar also boasts a suntrap beer garden for revellers to enjoy some fresh air and a celebrated whiskey collection (Ireland’s largest, ahem.) A handy suggestion – treat yourself to the oysters, washed down with a Guinness: top notch!
The Schoolhouse Bar 2-8 Northumberland Road, Dublin 4
It can feel like crossing over the canal brings you to some countryside lodge when you step into the sliver of bucolic bliss in the city that is The Schoolhouse. If lounging on a leather sofa by a fireplace in the lodge furniture surroundings under the high ceilings is your cup of tea, than this is the place for you. Also home a French cuisine restaurant (Olivier’s) and hotel.
Camden Palace
J. McNeill’s
Based in the old Theatre De Luxe from which it takes its name, the Palace lives in the original lavish theatre auditorium of the old Dublin institution. After dark, the Palace is one of the most packed-out clubs in Dublin – if you want to spend a little more quiet time, arrive early and bag yourself a pool table.
In a former life, McNeill’s plied its trade as a one of Dublin’s most famed musical instrument shops, and a window full of banjos, bazoukis and bodhráns still belies that image to the world outside on Capel Street. Inside however, the place has been reborn as the home of some of Dublin most highly-regarded trad sessions with music on a nightly basis, as well as a daycent pint of plain to go with it, as you’d rightly expect.
84/87 Lower Camden Street, Dublin 2
140 Capel Street
Acapulco Mexican Restaurant, an authentic, colourful and lively restaurant situated right in the heart of Dublin on South Great Georges Street offers the very best in traditional Mexican cuisine. Sizzling fajitas, our famous homemade nachos and our tacos with fresh soft corn tortillas (gluten free by the way) complement the most mouthwatering of salads. In the evening our Margaritas (made from 100% pure Agave tequila) are the perfect accompaniment to the spice!

DAX
23 Pembroke Street Upper, Dublin 2 In an atmospheric basement of a plush Georgian building on Pembroke Street, just off Leeson Street, you find one of Dublin’s finest restaurants. Named Dax after the owner’s home village in France, it deserves the same good reputation as the French cuisine. If a formal restaurant is not for you, step into their new upstairs venture Dax Cafe Bar that will provide you with a warm tapas-and-wine shaped welcoming hug. Regardless of your preference, neither place serve disappointment.
Dillinger’s
47 Ranelagh, Dublin 6 Dillinger’s is situated in the heart of the nice Ranelagh village. A small and American influenced eatery of great popularity among the locals. The food is great, prices modest and it has a good atmosphere. In case you are a militant carnivore, their sister restaurant The Butcher’s Grill down the road might be a better choice.
Bloom Brasserie
Teddy’s Ice-Cream & Grill
Bloom Brasserie is a restaurant with lofty ambitions. With an excellent head chef well versed in the traditions of French cuisine, Bloom’s offers up accessible cuisine that accentuates their quality local ingredients. Head chef Pól Ó hÉannraich has lovingly assembled a menu that sees Angus Beef carpaccio alongside Caramelised King Scallops, and Roast Seabass. All dishes are freshly prepared and cooked to perfection.
99-cone institution for nearly 60 years in Dun Laoghaire, Teddy’s Dundrum Grill offers another side to one of Dublin’s most-loved establishments – Teddy’s offers steak, spare ribs, and burgers par excellence, without destroying your wallet. And yes, they still do the best ice cream in town.

Leo Burdocks
2 Werburgh St, Christchurch, Dublin 8 If you like some history with your chips, Leo Burdocks has as much backstory as it does salt and vinegar. Its Werburgh St. branch has been chopping potatoes for almost a hundred years now, and the chips are only getting better. Pay a visit, and ask about their celebrity fans.
Pacino’s
Salamanca
For over 15 years Pacino’s has been a family-run restaurant known for its delicious ‘Classic & Gourmet’ pizzas and pastas, steaks and salads. It serves traditional, fresh, quality Italian cuisine. Its beef is 100% Irish, and sourced from reputable suppliers, and its pizza dough made fresh, inhouse, daily. Pacino’s offers a modern dining experience, with an old world vibe – stylish brickwork, wooden floors and soft lighting all combine to create a relaxed, rustic, informal atmosphere.
Salamanca Tapas Bars and restaurants, offer fantastic value, great quality food, service and atmosphere. They pride themselves on a wide variety of menus and great value deals, that offer creative, innovative, delicious dishes. Visit either Salamanca and be prepared to be whisked away from the mundane to the excitement of the warm continent, in either of two prime city centre locations.

Eden
Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin 2 The acclaimed, award-winning Eden restaurant serves contemporary food with a distinctive Irish flavour, overlooking the vibrant Meeting House Square in Temple Bar. With a set of mouthwatering dishes available for mains, from mushroom tarts to duck confit, and a stunning location, Eden is one of Dublin’s must-eat experiences.
24 Pablo Picante 131 Baggot St, Dublin 2 4 Clarendon Market Dublin 1
Mexican wrestler Pablo Picante is the poster child of burrito bars across California, northern Mexico and, surprisingly enough, two spots in sunny Dublin. Serving up cheap tortilla-wrapped treats, rolled with delicate style, and spiced to your liking, Pablo should be the first port of call for a busy tourist with an empty stomach. The flavours of Baja California – frijoles, chillis, carne asada, fresh vegetables – are the main staples. Vegetarian options exist but we suggest trying the masked warrior’s signature dish – the beefy barbecoa.
Eddie Rocket’s City Diner Citywide
Eddie’s manages to escape the trappings of restaurant franchising - its 100% fresh Irish beef burgers are consistently as excellent as most designer burger joints in town, and its (brilliantly-designed) menu diversifies seemingly by the day, making it the perfect stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night munchies, parties, and family days out - we couldn’t hope for a whole lot more from an Irish-owned business.
Le Cafe Des Irlandais
12-13 South Great Georges Street, Dublin 2 Located in one of Dublins oldest and most beautiful dining rooms, Le Cafe Des Irlandais serves French style rotisserie food using the best of Irish ingredients. Open from 8am for a delicious Irish breakfast and brunch at weekends. Lunch from 12-5 serving reasonably prices soups and roast sandwiches. The a la carte dinner served nightly from 6 with fresh fish and vegetarian specials.
Havana Tapas Bar South Great Georges Street, Dublin 1 Havana is a lively tapas bar and fully licensed restaurant that specialises in simple, appetising food with an authentic Spanish flavour. Open from lunch ‘til late, Havana excels in both its spread of nibbles and its range of wine and cocktails.
Coppinger Row
Off South William St, Dublin 2 The Bereen brothers from the South William Urban Lounge have created an exciting new option for dining out in Dublin: fresh, simple Mediterranean dishes, perfect for diving in and sharing with friends, family and work colleagues alike, in the funky laid-back atmosphere of Coppinger Row, slap-bang in the middle of the coolest quarter of south city Dublin.

The valley is home to a ruined Monastic city in which an immense round tower stands, 30 metres high (originally constructed to hide from Vikings). The valley was carved out by glaciers, and is also home to Glendaloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gigantic scary lakes. Depending on if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mood for a relaxed amble or a longer trek there are nine different walking trails varying in intensity.
