7 Breweries in Dublin That You Shouldn't Miss
You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

We had heard about Porterhouse on a video while preparing for our trip to Dublin and planned to make a stop to try the Plain Porter. We stumbled upon it and decided to stop for lunch and a beer, and were not disappointed. The Celebration Stout was excellent, as was the porter and lived up to its hype. The beef and porter stew was also excellent, very tender and flavorful. Our waitress Maria was top notch and gave us a few samples of other beers to try as well. We will definitely be back to try a few other beers before heading back to the states.

We love Boco pizzas and Harry Byrnes so it was only a matter of time before we came for a visit. We went on Thursday evening just after 5pm and it wasn't busy when we arrived but by the time we left just before 7pm it was packed. They have the place so well set up to comply with all the government Covid 19 guidelines. It feels safe and well spaced out but you definitely don't lose any of the atmosphere that Harry Byrne's always had. The pizzas were amazing, the drinks were perfect and the staff were so friendly. We'll definitely be back soon.

I visited during covid lockdown to pick up some beers to take home. There is a really good selection from on premises brews and guest beers. All the beers are distinct and very tasty, from solid IPAs and helles larger to more interesting pale ales with fruity notes. Definitely worth the trip to pick up something a lot more interesting. The people running the off licence made it a great overall experience. The smell from the kitchen was amazing - will try to coordinate with dinner time when I go back to restock the fridge and it’s on the list for a proper visit when restrictions allow.
