    My cousins say that I have to go to the Palace Bar which is a 'real pub'? Anyone know about it? Is it near (or in) the city?


    The Westin hotel is less than a minute walk from the Palace bar but that's at the very edge of an area called Temple Bar which is the most toursity place in the whole city. So it will be convenient for you and might be a nice place to finish off your night before you retire for the night. Temple Bar will be packed on Friday night so if you want pubs that are less tourist trap like, I'd head over to the Baggott Street area. It's about a 10-15 walk from your hotel.

    Palace is good, just make sure you go to Palace on fleet street, not palace on Camden Street. They're very different places!!

    For a different kind of pub, try Against the Grain on Wexford Street (or their other pubs The Black Sheep or Brew Dock). They're nice pubs that serve Irish craft beer and good food. Be warned though, no Guinness on Draught (some great Irish Whiskey's though). Here's their website. Enjoy your visit.

    What are the chances of picking up tickets on the day lads? I just spent half an hour on ticketmaster refreshing to see if I could get two seats together

    You will pay over the odds off touts on the day judging by the mad sales on ebay and other places.

    Mulligans on Poolbeg St is very close to you, great pub. The Palace Bar in Temple Bar is very good, one of the very few places in Temple Bar worth going to. The Garage Bar at the far end of Temple Bar is lively and not too touristy if you insist on staying that end of town, thats just before the Clarence Hotel. Avoid most other bars though, they are a kip in Temple Bar.

    Head up Grafton St and try McDaids (Harry St- the right turn off just before HMV) or Keoghs (St Anne's St- the left turn off after Bewleys/Cafe Bar Deli on the right hand side of Grafton St).

    Bowe's is also handy for you, around the corner from the Westin.
