Guidebook for Dublin 4
Food Scene
This is one of my favourite restaurants and is only a 15 minute walk from the apartment - a great spot for brunch or dinner. My two favourite dishes: french toast and the buffalo wings.

The views here rival the Gravity Bar at the Guinness Factory! You can get a panoramic view of the city from this restaurant, which is on the top floor of the Dean Hotel. The food is nice (I recommend the pizza) and on weekend nights there is a DJ and dancing. If you're going for food, make sure to make a reservation (Open Table).

If you're in Dublin on a Sunday evening, the trad sesh (traditional Irish music session) at Cassidy's is a must. The music starts around 8:30PM, but it gets very packed so it's recommended to get there a little bit earlier if you want a table or seat. There are several restaurants less than a 5 minute walk from here, if you're looking for dinner prior to the show.

The bar looks like a Spanish house in the center of Dublin and you may walk right by it if you didn't know it was there, and it's right near the Jameson Distillery.
