Explore Dublin: Eating, Drinking and Live Entertainment

What to eat when in Dublin?

There are some tastes being offered across Dublin that you would regret missing. Chicken wings at the Elephant and Castle are a must try, if your taste buds prefer the explosion of spicy sauces in your mouth. For many years, the recipe of the sauce that was being used at Elephant and Castle was being kept a secret, until it was discovered by others and now the same wings are being offered in 10 other places in Dublin. However, Elephant and Castle manages to maintain the best and authentic taste like none other.

The Sea Salt Ice-cream at Murphy is also something that a person should try once. Although, the concept of salt within an ice-cream seems like an oxymoron at first, but you have got to try it once to believe in the idea of how these complex flavors complement one another.

The Trinity Beef Burger which is the offering of the Trinity Bar Venue is another thing that you cannot miss. The restaurant is located in the heart of the city and is known for serving the best burgers in town with bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and cheddar. It is served with fries on the side.

What to drink when in Dublin?

Nowadays, it is perfectly fine if you visit a pub and order water or freshly squeezed juice. No one would dare to bat an eyelid at you, for ordering non-alcoholic drinks because visiting a pub or a bar and not ordering alcohol is now turning into a norm in Ireland.

However, when you desire to order an alcoholic beverage, you need to be extra careful. If you prefer to consume alcoholic drinks, then go for pints and not half glasses. It may not seem like the ideal thing to do but ordering pints would cost you less money. You can also try more variety this way and even if you do not like a drink, you won’t regret it in the end as you have paid for the pint and not for a glass.

If you have no idea what drink you should order when you arrive in a new city, ask the bartender to recommend something. As long as the bartender is getting a good tip, he/she will not give you a bad advice.

Seeking Live Entertainment in Dublin

The culture of Dublin promotes live music as a major source of entertainment. The live music in Dublin is also attracting tourists towards the city. There are in fact, so many places in Dublin, which offer a complete package to the guests in terms of food, music and entertainment. Some of the best places that you can visit to enjoy live music in Dublin are Trinity Bar Venue, Quays Bar, The Cobblestone, Temple Bar and Whelsan. All these places are famous for the quality of live music they play.

Highlighting the Qualities of a Great Sports Bar in Dublin

trinityentrance

When it comes to their love for sports, there are very few who can claim to be better than the Irish. No one beats the Irish in celebrations and in drinking, which are two of their favourite things whenever their favourite sports team wins. It doesn’t even matter what sport it is, all Irish people love sports in general, and that is the way it should be. There are some great sports bars in Dublin, and if you want to really experience a game, then you need to check out the best sports bars in Dublin. Now coming up with a definitive list of the best sports bars in Dublin, can be a bit tricky, since everyone has their own preferences and it can be difficult to choose one over the other. So we have decided to skip the controversy and provide you with the qualities of a great sports bar in Dublin. That way you can visit and decide by yourself, which sports bar deserves the honor for being the best in Dublin.

Reasons why sports bars are popular in Dublin Sports bars provide fans with a place to come and enjoy two of their favourite things, sports and beers. It is a place where people from everywhere are welcome to come in, enjoy, get some beers, have the food, and watch the game. It is also one of the best ways to socialize, relax and unwind with some friends over the weekend. Here are some reasons why sports bars are popular in Dublin:

 Offer all the major sporting events in HD screen TVs

 Offer lots of side attractions, such as games and prizes

 Live music and performances from comedians and singers

 Great selection of beers and quality food

What makes a sports bar standout?

There are many sports bars in Dublin that claim they are the best in the city, but which factors define the quality of a sports bar? Here are some of them:

Quality of food

The quality of food is highly important for a sports bar, since people like to munch on food while watching the game. This is why the food in the bar has got to be delicious and well prepared, because if the food isn’t great, people will stop going to that bar.

Drinking options

Any sports bar worth their salt has to provide some outstanding selection and range of drinks to their customers. The number of options shouldn’t only be restricted to beers, and an assortment of cocktails, wine, and other alcoholic beverages will ensure that there is a never-ending stream of sports fans at the bar.

Atmosphere

What truly makes a sports bar special is the atmosphere in the bar on game day. There are plenty of sports bars that are showing the same game on match day, but not many of these bars are able to provide the sort of electric atmosphere that distinguishes the good from the great.

“I will certainly go back”

What surprised and impressed me about this place was the steak. Most steaks in Ireland tend to be a nice quality of meat improperly cooked. Yet with Trinity they bring the steak out on a hot rock so you can cook it yourself as you like it, which is what I did. I will certainly go back.
