Haven't noticed any time-warp here myself. Must ask Marty McFly, he's just outside.

Poor Marty. I bet he misses the wild west now.

Less of a smell.

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.

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!

Fighting Irish · 11-12-2013 11:06PM

Carlow

hungry hippo 4 · 11-12-2013 11:19PM

Would you not consider a short flight.

Ireland is ****e in fairness!

that town the travellers own, whats it called??

Anyway, I wouldn't go there!

Tuam?

Professor Knowall · 12-12-2013 02:14AM

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.

haha Tuam is one alright. Athlone too. Oh and Sligo. Come to think of it you boys in the wesht have abit of a problem. Place Im thinking of was on one of those ****e tv3 programmes.

Anywhere Northeast of Dundalk. Carlingford seems like good fun with their pubs and old ruins everywhere (and that's just the locals). 20 minute drive or so will take you up to the top of Clermont Carn with views of Dundalk, Carlingford Lough and up North. Newry is within about 15 minutes for go-karting as well.

Meangadh · 12-12-2013 02:59AM

My votes would be for Kilkenny (serious amount of good restaurants and pubs, voted friendliest city in Europe and 9th friendliest overall in the world!), Killarney (beautiful scenery, loads of hotels to choose from), Ennis (sound people, good craic, loads to do in the greater Clare region- Burren, cliffs etc) or Derry (great nightlife and really interesting history- I really noticed when I was there how much I hadn't a clue of about the North growing up in the Republic).

There's flippin loads to do in Ireland, I can never understand anyone who says there isn't. Sure, the weather is often crap but that's well known. There's still plenty to do regardless of the weather.

Hotels in London are mostly way more expensive than in Ireland, particularly if you want one with good public transport options nearby. Travel around London is dear too. Don't get me wrong, I love London and go there a few times a year- and there's still so much I want to do every time I go- but each time I go I spend so much (and that's not including shopping, I generally don't bother shopping in London).

I do love it though so if you have the money, go for it!

christine86 · 12-12-2013 04:03PM

I am asking along the same kind of lines....but I would like to know of the best nights out had in towns outside of the main cities of Ireland. Places like Dingle that have only one nightclub and where you could come across anything or anyone...but most importantly all the whilst having a top class night.
I would be interested in hearing where the best small towns (with nightclubs) to go out in are in Ireland?

The weirdest night I ever had in a small town was Shannon, I recall a place called the nights or knights. But that was many many years ago, before the burst and before the bubble.

sebastianlieken · 12-12-2013 04:11PM

Hold on a second...

you mean to tell me... there other places out there, that arn't Dublin?!

Roberto91 · 27-01-2014 01:58PM

One stop shop for scenery ,atmosphere,excellent pubs(40 or more),and you wont get your head kicked in as with many towns ie Kilkenny it must be....DINGLE.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 27-01-2014 02:12PM

Roberto91 · 27-01-2014 02:45PM

Roberto91 · 27-01-2014 02:53PM
