The people of this city love to drink.
Ireland is usually associated with clover, whiskey, beer, bagpipes and unbridled joy — and, apparently, not in vain.
About their experiences from the night Dublin Alexander Belenky, aka macos:
“Dinner at Church, public house, crowds of drunken, glamorous homeless and “Guinness” river. After dark, the Irish capital drops the mask of decency and shows a different face. That’s what awaits those who dare to leave the hotel. Bold offer to walk”.
Wherever you stopped for the night, all roads lead to the bar. It all starts well.
Then, after a couple of pints of Guinness (in addition to the usual, there are several types of this famous stout), you’ll want something unusual. For example, to dine in the temple!
In Russia, only one thought about the sedition is almost a crime. In Dublin — please book a table, people will be Packed.
This is the real Catholic Church converted into a restaurant. There is even a working body.
And this despite the fact that Ireland is a country of very religious and pious. They just believe that God is still, to pray people come here or eat. Most importantly — what they have in mind.
On the first floor instead of the confessionals now a bar with a dozen Beers. And so many hidden stories every night hears the bartender — not every priest is as typed.
The food here is good. Will show you my dinner: filet Mignon with mashed potatoes with bacon and fresh mussels with garlic croutons.
It was the eve of Halloween, so one of the waiters decided to play the visitors got out in a black sheet from a well. Some got scared, others laughed. Yes, we are still in the Church.
After a hearty dinner, you need to continue the journey to bars. The local kids even have their own Olympics: who tonight will visit more bars and thus be able to stand on his feet. Each need to drink at least a pint of “Guinness”.
Maybe not such a game. But I would like to be.
Irish bar — it’s not only drinking, but also the interior.
And good company.
Yes, I tell you: who of you has never been in an Irish bar?
Go here everyone: students, prostitutes, and bespectacled. Good bar unites society more than the search for an external enemy.
“Travel services inside.”
It ends with a visit to several bars in one evening? You will cease to fit on the wide sidewalk, as your company will go arm in arm, supporting several snipe drunken friends. This necessarily as loud as possible to shout the song. These singing I love you baby.
Tourists who visited Dublin, to talk about the famous “temple Bar”. Tourists who have visited Dublin not in vain, saying that “temple Bar” is a district autenticata Kabakov, each of which is worth a visit. This that photos, called Stag’s Head. I wrote about it last time.
On the second floor of the pub in the evening folk concert without applications: each brings his guitar, violin or ukulele, and plays the notes of familiar songs. This time brought friends, but, alas, no music was not.
I always feel sorry for young girls working as waitresses in night clubs or bartenders in taverns. But not from the full life they go there. Well, that waitresses: could be worse.
But pub entertainment not only for the young. Irish old ladies are also not averse to tilting the mug.
And, as I wrote, at the bar everything is just beginning.
The mountain of empty kegs of beer — a familiar phenomenon on Dublin sidewalks. Beer here for the evening, I drink so much that none of the warehouse or rear yard may not fit.
Found a pedestrian street, “our local Arbat”. The name can not remember, was drunk.
As in all normal cities, Dublin is full of homeless people. Most just on the Arbat.
They have chosen a space between the shop Windows, hiding there from the wind and the feet of passersby. So they spend their nights, leaving with the dawn.
The paradox of the Irish homeless: many of them look too well to even suspect them of vagrancy!
Some even wear suits and tie! Maybe I abominably cheated, but said that now the rent in the city worth that kind of money that people cannot afford adequate housing and social sleep in shelters, working for decent jobs in offices. To go them after work nowhere, because they spend more time on the street.
And as a flophouse — a place of very specific, some people prefer to sleep outdoors, not yet entirely cold.
The girls went out to smoke and “update the contents of the glass.” Tricky life hack to sit in the bar longer, but not to buy the Supplement.
