London Paris & Amsterdam (Moderate) 2009

Dublin Pubs: At one time Dublin had over 4,000 pubs where locals could indulge in their favourite tipple. As time passed laws came into being to control the amount of pubs in the city. Now Dublin has almost 750 licensed pubs, each with its own style and particular clientele. The Dublin pub is far from being a mere drinking emporium alone. Each has it own special character, and many have developed far-flung reputations for specialising in specific aspects of Irish social culture - traditional music, song and dance, sport and literature and high quality cuisine served in a relaxed informal atmosphere. All, however, are centres of Irish community life where the art of conversation finds effortless expression and no one remains a stranger for long.
