That's just up the road from my house Stephen... very fancy hotel too
It seems you're in my neck of the woods this weekend and I'm in yours!My weekend goes a little something like this:
Friday - Comedy club then cheesey club with friends
Saturday - Flying to Dublin (hopefully) for a night on the town with Jon's cousins. I've heard that Dublin are playing in the All ireland Gaelic football quarter finals so aparantly this should be a good game, and an even better p1ss up!
Sunday - Find a nice Irish country pub for a roas and drinks
Monday - Train down to Waterford on the coast of Ireland for two days relaxation, country walks and horseriding
Can't wait!

I know I feel someone is trying to tell me to stop taking so much time off work or something lol.
I'm flying from Luton, it's not one of the major airports so fingers x'd it wont be too bad by Saturday.
I almost booked flights from Heathrow though, glad I didn't now!

How funny!! Im up by you in Watford and your off to my home town.
Dublin are playing this weekend so should be a good time for all in Dublin. Im sure tickets will be scarce but if you or Jon get a chance to go you should really try and go. Croke Park is amazing for any GAA game!! Its the 4th largest stadium in Europe after the Camp Nou, San Siro and I think the main stadium in Kiev........which makes it such a joke that they havent allowed soccer or rugby to be played there (that is up until next year!!).
If your looking for suggestions for country pubs, you cant go far wrong with Johnny Foxes in the Dublin mountains (www.jfp.ie). It should only take you about 45 mins to get there from City Centre if your driving.
Hope you have a great time.
Yay the weekend 8)

I’m from Dublin and agree Johnny Foxes is great craic. They usually have Irish dancers and a band playing all the old Irish songs. Johnny Foxes is the highest pub in Ireland.. if its really old Irish craic your after go there.
Theres plenty of old Irish bars in the city tho.
The main bars I’d go to would be on Georges St. Hogans, The Globe, The Village, Whelans. These are all great bars. Ri Ra’s is pretty cool aswell. It’s a nite club downstairs in The Globe. These pubs are all pretty casual but theres always a good crowd.
For a nice restaurant I’d suggest Elephant and Castle in Temple bar. Its cheap and cheerful.. you must try their famous Chicken wings. I think they put in a magic sauce to get people addicted.. yummy…

If your looking for somewhere to go the pod never lets me down. Crawdaddy is a great spot. It’s cheap enough and it gets a nice crowd. Saturday nights are usually funky house. Dublin’s not great for big clubs we’ve only one main one called Spirit which is good but sometimes can attract the wrong crowd. But we’ve some really cool small venues.
