Dublin was our first stop on the Europe whirl wind tour of December 2015 and although we weren't there long, they welcomed us in BIG. We stayed at the Dublin Citi hotel and the people were amazing. Hilarious servers and bar keeps, full of life and so playful. These people work hard and have all the fun doing it. Beautiful old building and in the heart of the city.
DUBLIN HIGHLIGHTS: Friendliest folk, BEST SOUP EVER and Guinness flowing almost as hard as the rain outside the pub windows. We walked through the Stags Head bar front door like lost puppies in our first hour in Ireland and made friends before we'd sat down. GO THERE. Eat all the delicious Fish and Chips you can and find Ruari (Rory) and enjoy the delight that is he. After you do that, head to the Guinness brewery and do the tasting tour. It's free and delicious and so so fun. Climb all the steps and head to the Gravity Bar at the top of the brewery. Turn in a circle and you will see Dublin spread out before you, gorgeous and gloomy. Make all the friends you can (which won't be hard). Everyone has a story in Ireland and stories go great with beer...
