Unsurprisingly, Guinness is an extremely popular tipple of choice in

visiting its home. You might even find that you like it! The Irish swear
that it tastes different when poured in Ireland. If you’re really not a
beer drinker, or you simply fancy something sweeter yet still

(also known as Magners). If neither of these take your fancy, you’ll find
that there are plenty of drinks available.

may vary. If you’re visiting Dublin, you’ll find that the price of a pint
is around €5.80. However, this price may increase or decrease depending on

than other locations. However, you’ll find that the atmosphere, huge range
of things to do and incredible nightlife certainly make up for this and
make the trip more than worth it.
