Dalgety Bay TA Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Are you in the apartments above it mate? That's where we are as well. Penthoose. GTR know you have said you hate this place but looks like we are pretty close to plenty of other decent boozers anyway? I am in the actual hotel, AFAIK!. Didn't realise there was apartments too.

Green_Tide_Rising Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Temple Bar Inn. Will have a look how far the nearest bus stop is to it. To be honest the cost isn't a factor it's more getting to the hotel and the out quickly. Thanks for info. The number 16 bus (WWW.DubinBus.ie) leaves the airport and will drop ye literally right beside Temple Bar , it will also depart right beside there and drop ye to the Airport.....price is about 3.30 eur Ye can also use these guys - who will do the exact same as above but as its more comfortable travel..it costs about 6 eur each way http://www.aircoach.ie/ Equally ye may find a taxi just as handy .....but good to know all your options!

Angus_Young Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Dont get me wrong mate - if ye head out in T.B , im sure ye will have a good time. I often Drink in the "Quays" bar in T.B.....and always have a good laugh. The reason i am so anti - T.B is the price of drink there...............SCANDALOUS!!!!! PLUS there are 100's of better boozers in Dublin. Dont worry lad - even though ye are close to it, ye are also in the city centre........LOADS of other boozers nearby so ye can stay out of T.B if thats what ye want Ye are close to O'Connell St, Dame St, Nassau St, Baggot St, Georges St , Wexford st ,and many more locations which have great boozers. Great thing about Dublin is that it has loads of great bars all within Walking distance to each other....ye wont be left short Never eaten in their mate, but have had the "odd" pint in there....not somewhere i frequent often tbh But the Inn itself is nice and i can imagine their food being good , especially considering their location (Nassau St) , which is city centre and wud appeal to tourists...so good food would be a priority im sure As for the nightclub - been over a decade since i was in that .So cant really comment. Im sure its fine.....worst case scenario....as i said to Angus, ye will have a 100 other options of places to go all within walking distance or short cab ride Thanks for this mate. First trip to Dublin for me so I'm sure we will have a ball either way. Can't wait now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd advise against the No 16. Could take anything up an hour to get into City centre. Aircoach nice and quick but if your in a group then taxi would work out not much extra per head..

Glasgowmancity Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Mates have booked the Egali Hostel on Parnell Street. I think from what Green Tide was saying earlier, that's probably not in the best location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from what Green Tide was saying earlier, that's probably not in the best location Parnell Street is grand.....not as nice as the other areas mentioned...but there will be no issues for ye. Right beside O'Connell Street (Dublins Main Street) and only a short walk into all the other areas mentioned. No shortage of pubs around the Parnell area either Ye will be fine staying there so dont worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Any recommended places for the dancing ? I like to dance at some point during the trips. Dundonians can't dance, Dundonians can't talk.

ARFC Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Dont head out up in the DCU area........theres a few bars.....but your better travelling to the city centre .....thats where the craic will be No need to book a taxi at airport.....depending on how many of ye there will be ......there will be loads of taxis waiting outside arrivals.....if ye have a very large group then there are numerous very good bus services which will take ye into the city and beyond if required....these buses all depart regulary, so ye wont be waiting around Thanks mate.

Depends where your hotel is.We always jump off at O'Connell Street and if the weather is nice walk down to Temple bar and then on to our hotel in Exchequer St. If you are nearer to the ground (near the pubs you were drinking in last time) I recon you want Kildare St (just looking at Google maps).

Get off on O'connell st mate If your going commando ....your more likely to find cheaper accomodation on that side of the River Liffey. Once you get off there .....your only a 10/15 min walk across the river to Grafton / Kildare St If you need any other info ....just ask!

wanderer Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Is the 72 hour transport pass really worth buying? Think its something like 19 euros and can be purchased in the Spar at Dublin Airport I know it includes your travel to and from the airport (which I think is something like 10 Euros return?) and as planning to travel around the city a little bit, just wondering if its worth buying or not.

Ormond Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Green Tide, I seem to remember the last time I was there, the cheaper swally I found was on the North side of the Liffey. Is this generally true or was it just coincidental that I walked into a cheaper couple of pubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Its 30eur mate http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Fares--Tickets/Tickets/Tourist-Tickets/ Personally i thinks its good value as it offers alot of travel for both night and day But in your case...you have to weigh up a few things? Will you use it to get to and from the airport? Will you use it at night to get back to the hotel from a night out? I know your getting a bike to travel around the city for one day...so will you really need it to explore greater dublin on other days? Use it to get to and from the stadium? If the answer to all the above is NO , then i wouldnt bother with it. IF the weather is nice, then Dublin is a great city to walk around in from pub to pub so u wont really need the bus once your inside the city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this generally true or was it just coincidental that I walked into a cheaper couple of pubs? Yep this is true. Dearest beer tends to be in the southside areas of Temple Bar, Dame St, Nassau St, Grafton St, Georges St, Baggot St, Stephens Green But equally there is ALOT of great pubs in those areas and they have great nightlife so there is a pro and con to Drinking in those ares or not drinking in those areas , if ya get me!
