    Well obviously it's Dublin, but the anti Dublin brigade will say it's Galway or Kilkenny with their 2 streets and 7 different restaurants! Don't get me wrong they're nice places but they're more like small towns than cities.
    Dublin is an average sized city on a European scale but I've lived in London and other cities for years and Dublin has a lot going for it these days, lots of variety in bars and restaurants and a really eclectic mix of people.
    There are countless restaurants I still want to try and I keep on finding new cool pubs and bars in and around the city centre.

    You sound like a wind-up merchant that is unfamiliar with western civilization.

    If by that you mean, I'm not on board with glamourization of ruralization as tends to happen in overly culturalized towns, then yes - but it's not a case of unfamiliarity as much as, I'm just not down with that.

    What in the standardized fortified fuck are you talking about?

    I find the casual dining scene in Dublin to be way more varied and high quality than most similar sized cities in Europe. I would say even better than some 'mega' cities. The club scene could be improved, I think it's held back by restrictive opening hours and high taxation on alcohol.

    sorry?

    I was of course referring to your attitude to girls of questionable age and homosexuals and as evidenced from other threads your general lack of believability.

    It's held back more so by atrocious taste in music.

    Opening hours don't bother me that much.

    If I don't manage to get laid within 2 hours, another 4 hours probably isn't gonna make too much difference.

    PS - no one ever got laid by sitting at a table eating food.
    Nightclubs are all that matters.

    It's basically code for, "I'm trying to dodge the small town feel. My activities require anonymity, not every 2nd sumbitch recognizing who I am".

    Not by strange.

    Not unless the waitresses are moonlighting for extra cash after hours (which happens more often than you'd think).

    Consider the logistics of affairs, not to mention - what self respecting restaurant serves a bunch of chicks wearing hot pants?

    I think he meant a different type of nightclub, where people dance and take drugs and they go on till all hours and have good DJs.
    You can get your culchie nightclub fix up in Flannery's or Harcourt Street.
