The answer isn’t really clear or straightforward; but not to worry……it’s pretty hard to go wrong. At last count there were almost 7200 pubs in Ireland, over 2400 restaurants, and nearly 1000 hotels. Needless to say there is no shortage of options, or for that matter a great pint of Guinness.

Some are driven by the local music, and authentic traditional Irish music offerings. Others are interested in the historical ageless pubs in Dublin where authors, politician’s, and celebrities were known to wet their beak through the years. Some of the most famous coastal villages and towns, are as renowned for their pub offerings, as they are for the scenic attractions nearby. The atmosphere and feel may differ from county to county, but rest assured that you’ll always receive a healthy dose of Irish hospitality.
