BEST PUBS IN DUBLIN, IRELAND! Better than the Temple Bar!

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

We think these pubs are better than most of the pubs in Temple Bar for two reasons...1. Cost. Pints in the Temple Bar area are more expensive. 2. Locals. The Locals rarely, if ever, go to the Temple Bar. And that's the fun of hitting the pubs in Dublin...drinking with the Locals!

[@daveflanagan4213]

I personally only rate the Palace Bar in Temple Bar. Best live authentic Trad music at the Cobblestone in Smithfield

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

@@daveflanagan4213 We agree...the Cobblestone felt really, really authentic. Although it was a long walk from our hotel, it was worth having a pint there and listening to the music. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

We went on a family trip to Europe this past summer and we started in Dublin. We loved going to so many of the great pubs there, and yes, the Guiness is excellent there!

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

I know right? We love the city. We love the people and the pubs were spectacular, and we hope to go back someday. Visiting Dublin was on our bucket list and we hope to scratch off another bucket list item visiting the Christmas markets in Europe this December. Wish us luck.

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

I love any Pub for that matter. Just not those who have a problem with the music. Since - wherever in the world - amateur musicians who are offered a public platform tend to get carried away enjoying themselves too much and tend to forget to check whether the audience is still with them or whether their art has turned into an annoying noise that prevents people from having some personal dialogues. The funniest moment I experienced was when guests offered two fiddlers two pints of Guinness pints if they would stop fiddling.

[@hwtours]

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

This is the first video I watch on this channel and I like it very much. Last observation first - try to get more "stability" into the way you cut the clips. A video is not a slide show - it takes away from the serenity and the mood of the ambiance in which you are working. This video contains a tremendous amount of information, facts, and researched content and overall - is capturing the attention of the viewers resulting in some kind of time traveling. The viewer forgets about watching a video - the way you choose the graphic angles from which you shoot, combined with your talent to use the light like a brush with which you perfectly highlight and downplay the objects, the forms result in what we see - a master piece of a Travel Blog.

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

Hey thanks for your input. Unlike many other travel vlogs (which are often "look at me" with no information) our videos are designed to give the viewer information about where we travel in case they plan to visit the same place. Glad you could see that! Thanks for watching!

Hello Steve and Sue! Thanks for your Best Pubs review. Did you use credit cards at the pubs you visited or did you use euros? We will be in Dublin in September of this year...

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

We used credit cards everywhere we went. It was easy...at the bar the bartender provided a card machine, and it took two seconds for the transaction. We paid as we went and they did not hold the card to "run a tab" as they do in the US. When buying a drink at the bar, no tip was expected but we sometimes gave 1-2 Euros in cash after a few drinks. At a table in a pub when we ordered food and drink, we always told the server to add 10% to the bill when settling up after the meal was done and we were ready to go. Hope that helps! Enjoy your trip in Sept! Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any other questions that come up!

The Temple Bar as an entertainment area is completely fake, created in the 1990s as an "Oirish" tourist trap. You won't find any locals there, except perhaps the pickpockets. I know, because I worked there in my studio throughout tle late 80s and 90s and watched the transformation from an old business area, with no cobblestones, to the tourist hell it is today. The only pub that has survived the desecration is The Palace Bar.
