The Things To Do And Drink When Visiting The City Of Dublin
Ireland definitely is not your typical, run-of-the-mill vacation destination. There are two faces to The City Of Dublin. Over a third of its population is aged 25 and under, and this means the nightlife is alive and well. However, these aren't your typical Rio or Cancun parties. Instead, parties are more of a cultural thing, taking place in old pubs and in the hundreds of music venues around town. The nightlife is famous here, but the landscapes are as well. Make sure you have a United States passport if you plan on traveling here.
Traveling around the world means you need a passport. You can know order passports online, and this means that long lines in post offices are no longer necessary. All you do is go online, fill out an application, pick when you'd like your passport delivered, and then you're finished! Urgent passport renewal is also available from these sites, meaning you can get a passport in as little as a day.
Because The City Of Dublin is so historical, it's a good idea to visit some of the museums to see just how Ireland has evolved. The National Museum, the National Library and the National Gallery are three museums located very near to each other, and the admission is absolutely free. Castles are some of the more interesting places in Dublin to explore some of Ireland's history as well.
Simply walking along with streets of Dublin is a great way to get to know this city. This is how the city was meant to be seen, walking along the stone streets, doing lunch at a little cafe, seeing firsthand the signature Dublin architecture. A good way to plan out your day is by picking a few attractions you'd really like to see and walk to them instead of using public transportation. You might even find that getting to the attraction was more fun than the attraction itself.
If a cold beer is something you know and love, Dublin is the right place to be. The Guinness Storehouse is a popular destination for beer lovers, as Guinness is Ireland's most famous drink. Here, you can learn a little it about how it came into being on a self-guided tour, and once you're done, head up to the Gravity Bar on the seventh floor for a free pint of Guinness to sip on. This bar is also a great place from which to view the entire city of Dublin. Head to the Jameson Distillery if you'd like to sample some whiskey.
The beer culture of Dublin, as previously stated, is definitely worth note. If you're looking for a big mug of Guinness, head to Kehoe's. This particular pub is almost a step back in time. The old wood walls and floors surround groups of people sitting around and drinking beer, laughing and talking about anything and everything. The oldest microbrewery pub is The Porterhouse. They made their own beers and stouts here, and if you're feeling a little adventurous, give the Oyster Stout a taste. This stout is made with oysters, and is supposedly very good. The Brazen Head pub is said to be the oldest in Ireland - 1000 years old.
Dublin is a place to eat and to eat a lot. If you're looking to sample some traditional Irish cuisine, head to Gallagher's Boxty House. You can find the best Italian food at Dunne & Crescenzi, as well as the best seafood at Aqua. Bobo's is famous for their incredibly juicy and delicious burgers; and The Bald Barista is a trendy coffee joint where you can get some light snacks and lunches. Chapter One is an expensive restaurant that is famous for their gourmet menu.
Dublin is definitely a lively city, and there is a lot that you should take the time to see and experience. Make sure you have your passport with you, however. Urgent passport renewal is always ready at your fingertips should you need a quick passport turnaround.
Drinking in the UK?
The UK is known for pub culture and ale drinking (at least in the US). But I am wondering if most British people actually drink in pubs or even go to pubs as much as they are reputed to. Just how popular is ale, beer, pints, etc. in the UK? And if it is popular, what affect do you think it has (or doesn't have) on the health of British people?
I often go to pubs, mostly over the weekends, and I drink, but rarely touch the booze. I just like the socialising. My partner likes a drink, so it's easy enough for me to drive and let her suit herself.
Like anything else, I think booze is okay in moderation. The trouble is, whole swathes of British society have divorced themselves from moderation and behave like complete morons, binge drinking and generally behaving like animals. And booze has always been a popular excuse with women and kiddie bashers, and all other types of worthless reprobate; they simply say the booze made them do it.
I tend not to give a toss about the health of those who abuse themselves with booze, or any other drug. They all get their choices, I have no sympathy for those who make the wrong ones. I really don't care if these muppets dissolve their livers and die young - all I do care about is keeping them under control when they go on their sad little benders and ensuring that they only manage to hurt themselves.
Though I would like to see long prison sentences brought in for those who drive whilst under the influence, especially the creatures who turn a mix of booze and an internal combustion engine in to a murder weapon.
Drunks.
I just can't stand them.
Beers in Baghdad: Remembering the World’s Most Dangerous Bar (Wired)
The U.S. has left Iraq -- and with it, the memory of the Baghdad Country Club,
the one bar in the heart of the highly fortified Green Zone. During the worst
years of the insurgency, contractors, aid workers and diplomats headed to the
Club for a pint -- and to hear Blackwater mercenaries cover Nickleback jams.
