If you could spend one night...

YellowFeather

in a county other than Dublin (but easily accessibly from Dublin by rail/bus (but preferably rail)), and you were also going to spend the day there, and you would like to see some unique Irish sights (Giant's Causeway kind of thing), but were also worried about being rained on the whole time so indoorsy things could be good, and you'd like to be able to go to a good restaurant and then a fun bar and then a rocking nightclub, and you don't want to go to Belfast or Galway because you've been there recently, and also, the option of go-karting or something craic like that would be excellent - where would you go?

Just a general question - no reason - that I'd like to throw out to AH 'cause you're all so knowledgeable and/or attractive.

Please do. Especially those who spend their time of the year out of the year. That sounds impressive!

Nah. In this (hypothetical) scenario, it's you, as an Irish native, being a good tour guide for one other.

If you had one shot, or one opportunity to spend a night in another county. One moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

YellowFeather

Sligo is amazing but, unfortunately, you need to avoid Sligo 'cause of an ex situation.

Cork is the only answer to this question. If Dublin, Belfast and Galway is off your list for starters than that leaves Cork, Limerick and Waterford really as far as urban centres go.
Limerick has a far higher ratio of scum bag to normal person than Cork does and has a smaller murder rate despite being much bigger. It has by far the best night life outside of Dublin. Has as much beautiful scenery as Kerry. It's just fantastic.

I LOVE CORK!

Tuam?

Professor Knowall

Go to London. If you are only going for one night, you won't need to have any check in luggage so if you booked early, the flight will cost you the around the same as train fares around Ireland. The cost of a hotel will be similar when you add in the rip off Ireland balance and there will be LOADS to do. If you don't want to do sporty, scenery stuff or sit in a bar all day, Ireland is a bit crap. No contest.
