Where can I disappear in Dublin?

Simon's Place (it's a cafe) - George's Street arcade. Downstairs especially. Their chicken sandwiches come a second after Poulet Bonne Femme.

What is this comment in reference to?


Anyway OP, if you're based in the city centre.. there's loads of cafes or pubs you could go to without meeting people you know. Unless you really know a lot of people. You can get the Luas out to Renelagh, Dundrum, Sandyford. The DART out to Dun Laoghaire etc

Id imagine this is to do with a new fad where teens are going missing for a few hours/days but are actually out of harms way. Probably meant tongue in cheek in relation to the OP's thread title

Not always a game.
That lad from Ennis was found dead a few days later.

Disappear off paddy's radar by going inside a hobby shop:
Oddly enough I don't mean a store like "The Art & Hobby" shop as this sort of establish ment is trying to pretends to be a really sophisticated toy shop to children - Paddy will have his hands full talking to little Jonny and Mary what fairy accessories they want to get on thus particular visit
As a grown up, Paddy will be frequenting the likes of Sports Direct and Vodaphone
when he's not in the pub for Sunday breakfast with or without said offspring in tow.

The main library in Pearse St.

The Library Bar, upstairs in the Central Hotel.

Library in Dun Laoghaire is big enough to be not found in!

Obscure bit of the Chester Beatty Library or Dublin castle in general, the coffee shop is nice or if it is a nice day the gardens. Marsh Liberality and or St Patrick cathedral.

The issue your going to have with cafes and the like is lots of students work in them so you might meet someone you know it's the same for all popular place so thinking outside the box only go where the tourists go.

Upset someone called Kinahan or Hutch then you're guaranteed to disappear OP.

Might be for quite a while though...:pac:

Are you just hanging around cafes in the south city centre area? Grafton/dame st/templebar? Like everyone else in the city seemingly
Its funny how dubliners stick to such an incredibly tiny area of the city centre and then places a stones throw away are completely dead. Sometimes I actually feel claustrophobic at grafton street and college green!
I bet you if you wander up to some cafes around parnell square, or the liberties or a bit further out in some nice planes like harolds cross or blessing ton basin or phibsborough you won't run into anyone you know

So many nice areas in the city that don't get nearly the footfall they deserve !

So you just moved here and you keep bumping into people you know in town? I have lived here most of my 37 years and work in the city centre and it's extremely rare that I randomly bump into people I know. It's a very bustling busy centre we have. I don't really understand what you're looking for.

Ah lads come on now. It has improved recently and they are really trying.

We're talking to ourselves, lads. Muuurph hasnt been seen for a week!

All the main galleries & museums have cafes

The National Library on Kildare St has a nice one. Or Collins Barracks. Or IMMA. Not to mention the National Gallery, National Museum Kildare St. The Hugh Lane on Parnell Square. A couple of good cafes in the IFSC including the usual Starbucks/Costa/Nero/Insomnia chains if that's your thing.

You can sit all day in CHQ without having to even buy a coffee as far as I can see. Then there's Dublin 7 and Dublin 8. Ever tried either of those huge central parts of town?

I could go on all day, but as another poster suggested I imagine you're restricting yourself to your own perceived and very narrow definition of where central Dublin actually is.
