This is a fascinating and entertaining museum with all kinds of things you've probably never seen before. Worth spending some time in to take it all in. Be warned though it is a fair bit of walking on hard stone floors so wear comfortable shoes (but that goes for basically all of rothenburg too)

This is the place for art lovers in Dublin. Admission is free which is a big plus. It's a reasonably sized art museum but still big enough to justify multiple visits. The collection has a few major works like the Caravaggio and the Vermeer, but also puts a lot of focus on Irish artists. If you can plan your visit around the times that "meeting on the Turret Stairs" is on display I would recommend it.

The best beer I tried in Ireland was here at the open gate brewery. I would absolutely come back if I find myself in Dublin again. They had a good variety on tap Including a very clever cardamom red ale and an excellent barrel aged ipa (wish they would distribute those!). The food was pretty good as well.

One of the best local breweries in the twin cities. They have a really good variety of beers on tap across all kinds of styles. When I visited I tried everything from a barrel aged barleywine to a fruit sour and everything was delicious. They do have some food available but you can also bring your own food which is cool. We came for trivia on a Wednesday as well which was fun. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in town.
