Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond
-
@Mizmazzle Have a great time, I'm sure you'll love it.

@Mizmazzle For sure man! Ah nice, 3 days is great. Plenty of time to do Dublin well. Knowing you're there a bit longer than I thought, if you really want to check out the best Guinness/Pub in town, John Kavanagh's Pub "The Gravediggers" is probably the pub. Bit further out though, so the other ones listed will be just fine too.
If you're staying in Portobello (good location), I probably would recommend taking a stroll or LUAS to Ranelagh and walking around. There is a Brother Hubbard there, great pubs (McSorley's), and a cafe we love called Nobó (acai bowl, coffee, dairy free chocolate).
In Portobello, a couple of restaurants you could check out:
- Alma (incredible brunch, reservation!)
- Bibi's (brunch)
- Bastible
- Clanbrassil House
- Richmond
Note: for all restaurants mentioned, worth looking into reservations/availabilty. Most you wouldn't be able to wander up and get a table.
Not too familiar with Ballyvaughn, but I've got a restaurant/pub saved called Moran's Oyster Cottage which I've seen recommended a lot, could be worth checking out.
Obviously up to you, but as you're going to be so close to Galway, I think it'd be a mistake to skip it - even for half a day. It's not a big city at all, has great culture, and rarely disappoints. But if it messes with your itinerary, obviously do what you need to do, but just wanted to mention it.
For those couple of open days, I'd look into Lahinch (seaside town), Killarney (lakeside town, with a beautiful surrounding landscape), and yes Dingle, but that might add to your driving time quite a bit with Cork being the final destination.

@Mizmazzle the painful realisation how much room jeans take up in your suitcase!
