Ben Engen: They've really done a great job with the experience at the place. Ton of different activities beyond boring old tours and a cool bar area to just hang out at.
Ben Engen: I was skeptical at first, but holy cow is this place amazing. Probably the best fries I've ever had. Not to mention best breakfast I've had this side of the Atlantic.

Ben Engen: I'm always a wee bit surprised when I manage to get a good steak outside of the U.S. and this place definitely raised my eyebrows. Worth going to.
Irish Pub · South-West Inner City · 195 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: The oldest pub in Dublin. Typically crowded tourist hub. Food isn't bad but I'd eat elsewhere and do your drinking and music listening here.
Coffee Shop · South-West Inner City · 12 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Probably my favorite cafe in Dublin. Great food and coffee offerings, friendly service, cozy setting, and it's got a true neighborhood hub vibe.
Ben Engen: Yet another Irish Pub with live music. This one has a unique and interesting history and it's a bit off the main drag with all the craziness, both factors make it better than average.
Ben Engen: This is an actual church converted into a bar and restaurant. It's definitely a tourist trap and the food is average, but I do think it's worth going maybe just for a drink to see it.
Smithfield Village, Unit 3, block C, Dublin, Dublin City
Bistro · Smithfield · 4 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Decent place but a wee bit overpriced in my book. I can't really tell what kind of restaurant it is either, like the Dream Cafe or something.
Ben Engen: No frills, not a single frill in sight. But if you're in the neighborhood and need a quick drink... well there are better places right next door.
