These are the restaurants and pubs we visited during our trip to Dublin in August. Once again before the trip Becky and I spent some significant time researching the pubs, cafes and restaurants of both Dublin and Edinburgh. We also reviewed our previous notes on London. We marked good places on a Google map that we would later download to our phones to guide us in these cities. We also marked museums and other attractions and then selected nearby places to eat and put them on the map. It all really helped.

We stopped for a nitecap down the street from our hotel to end a very busy day in Dublin.
This bar was in the same building at the Urban Brewery from the previous evening. It also contained the Stack Restaurant in the lower level which was actually a grotto. We walked around down there and planned to come back.

We had a tour guide drive us around Dublin all morning as part of our travel package. It was nice. It was just us and the guide in his van. Later he dropped us off at the Guinness Storehouse where we took the tour of the brewery and had a bite to eat.
