Dublin is a city of pubs, and the best way to see them is on foot, from west to east and back again, with the Liffey as your guide. This route starts where Guinness is made, at St James's Gate, carries on to two historic pubs in the centre and heads back west for dinner at the Brazen Head, which has traditional music every night. At the end, the Trinity City Hotel, on Pearse Street, next to Trinity College.

## The afternoon, pub by pub

14:30 · Guinness Storehouse. Seven floors about stout, with a pint included at the top, in the Gravity Bar, with all of Dublin at your feet. From €26 online; allow an hour and a half at least.

17:00 · The Stag's Head. Half an hour's walk along Thomas Street and Dame Street. Tucked away in Dame Court, it serves food until 17:00 and has traditional music on Fridays and Saturdays.

18:15 · The Palace Bar. Ten minutes to Fleet Street. The Aherne family has run it since 1946; order a pint and look for the snug.

19:15 · The Brazen Head. Twenty-two minutes west, along the riverbank. Arrive for dinner before 20:30, when it starts to fill up; the kitchen serves until 21:00 from Sunday to Thursday and until 21:30 on Friday and Saturday. The music starts at 21:00.

22:30 · Back to the hotel. Almost half an hour on foot along the Liffey quays, or a taxi.

## Who is it for?

For anyone who wants to see Guinness at home and then hear music in a proper pub. There are three pubs and the pint at the brewery: one at each stop and you will be fine. With children the afternoon part works, because the Storehouse admits them with a soft drink, but the atmosphere in the pubs at night is for adults.

## Cómo llegar

### On foot
About 6 km in total, flat, following the Liffey.

### Back to the hotel
From the Brazen Head to the Trinity City Hotel it is about 2 km along the quays; if it rains, take a taxi. If you are staying far from the centre, the DART leaves from Pearse, next to the hotel.

## Consejos

### Swap the order at the weekend
On Friday and Saturday, leave the Stag's Head for last and listen to the music there instead of going back to the Brazen Head.

### Buy the Storehouse ticket beforehand
In season the afternoon slots sell out.
