too good for the "the"
cocktails galore barmen skillz
can't speak for much else

time for sexy girls night.  where do we go?  The--er--I mean, Apartment.  I mean, we are WAY too refined for the "the".  Anyway, this place has an extensive cocktail menu, and that's what we came for.  Crazy cocktails.  Decently priced, delicious, friendly barmen (see what I did there).  In fact, they accidentally made two of the same one, and let my friend keep both.  CLASS.  

Don't be afraid of those listed with "egg white".  After some persuasion, the bartender explained that they just use it to add some fizz.

homely wee food place
quintessential hole-in-wall
happy chicken pie

Quiet.  Comfortable.  Super Cheap.  Sweet little lady serving us.  Just take a look at what you want, and get it.  I got the chicken pie, salad, and tea.  Generous portions, and the best looking salad I've seen in Ireland.  You're plate will be filled, and your tummy full, for less than a fiver.

spanish speakers hub.  
amazing hot sauce/salsa.  
feeling latina

Came in on St. Paddy's Day.  I think Dublin is the closest to authentic American Mexican you can get on this island.  Needless to say, I was pleased.  I actually hoped for a breakfast burrito, and I bet if I would have asked, I could have got it.  Instead, I asked if they would add egg to the ham and cheese quesadilla--tada! Breakfast quesadilla!  Added the flaming hot salsa, and I was in breakfast heaven.  Very friendly.  Fast.  Centrally located.  Lots of latin food stuffs... Thank you, Dublin... for diversity.

canal seating here
get a dutch lesson in beer
worth the walk off path

A tall ginger was amused by my dutch pronunciation.  very friendly.  great selection. decent prices. not very busy. overall great experience off the beaten path and on a canal.  would highly recommend the any beer snob/lover.  selection of whiskey to be proud of as well. though, i kind of want to keep it as an amsterdam secret... too late.  Cheers!

hoping for yuengling
but fancy yank breweries
get a beer lesson

Good selection of some crazy american beers, but is really missing some others.  maybe it's due to laws in the states or something, but i was pretty sad that my beantown brewers weren't on tap here. oh well.  it's expensive too...

snuggled up with a coconut porter, sierra nevada, and called it a night.  if only they served american burritos here too...
