Irish Restaurants

[Sweaty Paul]

Pitmasters -

My family and I will be taking a trip to Ireland later this summer. I'm curious if any of the members of The Pit have been there and having any recommendations for good restaurants of any type. Good BBQ always appreciated, however, for this adventure I'm looking for places that are more native or have European influences. Pub suggestions welcome too. We will be in Dublin and then traveling to County Kerry and places in between.

Thanks in advance.

O’Charleys


(we were going to suggest McDonalds, but that’s more Scottish)

Thanks!

Historic place that is near Dublin. STOOP YOUR HEAD - Seafood Restaurant and Bar on the harbour in Skerries, County Dublin.

Loved it! I was taken there by locals (we worked for the same company).

Thanks for the recommendation! It's on the list to try to get to as it is close to where my son and I will be golfing!

Try going to the outskirts. A lot of Dublin is chain restaurants now. Try Monkstown

For pubs Temple Bar, and be sure to visit Guinness St James gate and the rotating bar at the top of the tower. It’s been a few years since i was there but most of the pubs were restaurants until a certain time when they became bars, a lot of them also have live music, the tables were more group tables rather than private tables but it works as it forces people to talk with each other. Have fun and enjoy.

Thank you for the recommendations! I had heard the Temple Bar was a lot of fun. Will have to try it.

Hmm, I can ask a couple of my friends over there. We had several Irish come here to the states on work assignments several years ago and we became pretty good friends. I’ll see what they say.

Appreciate your help!

I just got back a text from friends who said if you are Dingle, County Kerry, the seafood restaurants down by the harbor are good, especially for lunch.

[Sweaty Paul]

We will be heading in that direction! Will definitely check them out. Thanks so much!

Thank your friends for me too!
