Lads weekend in Dublin
-
07-07-2008 12:23PM#1I thought this should go here rather than the Dublin forum, I thought the Bruvvers here would be able to offer the best advice. Anything that doesn't involve beastiality (well, not too early in the day anyway) or getting arrested would be appreciated.
I'm looking for suggestions on what three fat balding blokes can do in Dublin on a Saturday all day session, I know Temple bar and I know its where most of my fellow countrymen will be hanging out, so I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.:D I know (of;)) the pleasures found in Leeson street and the coffers won't stretch to that
Also, can anyone tell me where i can get the best Kebabs in Dublin, I really don't like abrakebabra, they are to Kebabs what Mcdonalds are to burgers imho:eek:0

best kebabs - zaytoon or uhm the place beside the mercantile
boozing - bull and castle up near christ church, huge selction of beers
porter house, 3 locations, nassau street, one beside zaytoon in templebar and one in phibsboro. Other choice boozers, hmm not so sure.
hhmmm, not been to a porterhouse yet, they brew their own beer don't they:cool: and there's one next to a kebab shop....this is why i posted here
Thanks:cool:0 -

Iskanders for the kebabs anyway. I recommend Grogans, The Foggy Dew, Porter house (although don't go in too late, get pissed there early before the music goes all gay), The Bull And Castle for some proper pub grub alrthough its pretty expensive and the one is Dame Lane that i keep forgetting the name of (someone help me out there). Whelans is good craic now as well but I don't know if you'd take the advice of a 21 year old hippy living 4 decades ahead of when he should
. If you have cash in the wallet, head to Valentinos 
on the queys. 20 quid for some brest and 40 for the whole chicken. There'll be better advice on the way I'm sure. 0 -

Not on a Saturday afternoon, I'd say it'll be fairly empty. Toner's next door is a nice old man type pub too. The Dawson Lounge, the original Ron Black's and the tiny pub you mentioned, was a great little pub at one stage but now it's so touristy it's not worth it. The last time I was there the barman put a shamrock on my pint and I nearly walked out. Kehoe's on South Anne Street is a proper Irish pub and will always have a bit of a crowd, Nearys on Chatham Street has a nice Saturday afternoon crowd, Bia bar does good food deals even if the food itself is quite average. The Bailey on Duke Street, around the corner from Marks & Spencer is good for people spotting and Davy Byrne's across the road was mentioned in Ulysses. Others worth going to are The Stag's Head, Grogan's (most tourists walk straight back outFratton Fred wrote: »now that's a thought, maybe a good place to start out.
What's the score there, will i need to book a table on a saturday afternoon or do you think we could just stroll in?
I was also thinking of that tiny pub at the top of dawson street, is it just a tourist thing or is it worth going for the craic? ) and maybe Mulligans but that's a bit out of the way. The above advice is for laid back, older crowd pubs without blaring music etc
Avoid Break for the Border and nearly everywhere in Temple Bar (the Porterhouse is an exception).0 -

Nah you wouldnt need to book a table on a saturday... you need a credit card (as insurance...)... you put the CC behind the bar (I think) and they charge you 25e to start with, pull your pints for as long as you want, the tap runs a meter like on petrol so you can see the price then when youre leaving you go up to the bar and if you've spent less than 25e they return the balance or they charge the rest to your card if its more. The table rotates so you dont even have to get off your seat to pull your pint, ultimate lazy-man style.
that sounds like a must. Where is it, is it by the Bank of Ireland? I guess the best dart will be Grand Canal Dock and walk along the canal.
ahh god I'm getting thirsty 0 -
Walk on to Dame Street, turn left, the street opposite City Hall is Parliament Street. Walk down here until you come to a junction, on this junction is Czech Inn, Porter House, Zaytoon, Turk's Head.
Actually, head into the Czech Inn too, some deadly Czech Beers for €3.50 a pint.
Fred ... that's yore weekend ... right there. Good times will be had by all. 0 -

good man, you've obviously had plenty of practice in this drinking lark:D
We will probably end up in Break for the Border though, it's the sort of trashy nightclub I like:D
The first time we came to Dublin (The start of a long journey for me:rolleyes:) we had a very very good night in there....but what happened that weekend shall never get mentioned 0 -

B the Dawson Lounge - They will put shamrocks on your guinness. Be warned.
C Davy Byrnes / Bailey (if you're interested)
D Grogans.
E Stags Head
F Porterhouse (just across road from Zaytoon yum yum)
G Czech Inn
I know that's a lot of walking which is why I've put in the pit stops. You could ignore the Bailey and head to the top of Grafton St and get an eco cab (free cycle taxi) to the Castle (Grogans). Then stagger to the Stags Head, stop off at Iskanders for a kebab on Dame St beside the Merc then cross over to Parliament St and get to the Porterhouse and then to Zaytoon.
Of course you could just take Trout's advice which is also good.
I am speachless. You should be flogging your advice to stag parties!!
Brother, my heartiest thanks to you, in fact to you all.
If you see three fat English late thirty somethings in a gutter saturday night somewhere around this route, please pick us up and point us in the direction of our next stop
BGRH comes up trumps again 0 -

Have a good one guys. I know the price will hit you, but the enjoyment will be great. Have fun.
Tell me about it. I am back in london for a few months (Riding out the recession) and I had a few in my local JD Weatherspoons. £1.69 for a pint of Rebellion Blonde :eek: (http://www.rebellionbeer.co.uk/beers.htm), great excuse to get legless
Went to my local on Saturday night once I got back to Dublin and came back down with a bump:mad:0 -
LiB ... I don't know what you do for a living ... but you'd make an excellent BGRH tour guide.
I think you've identified a niche in the market, and you have an excellent value proposition which is bound to increase shareholder value while maintaining our unique brand in this challenging space.
To the marketing dept!
Sorted, you do the marketing and I'll do the eh . . . . . . . research.
Don't mind Zaphelina she's just jealous :cool:
Fred, BGRH tours takes paypal

So if Leslie91 wanted to find said establishment, where in Dame street would he find it 0 -
