Food and Drink

Dinner at The Vintage Kitchen - Sara and Sean highly recommend this eclectic hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the heart of Dublin. Tucked away in an alley outside of the touristy area, The Vintage Kitchen offers a cozy and intimate dining experience—it quickly became our favorite restaurant in Ireland. Reservations are essential, as the space is small but well worth it!

Bread 41 - Dublin’s most talked about bakery. We discovered Bread 41 through our favorite Atlanta Bakery, Colette Bread and Bakeshop in Poncey-Highlands.

Activities and Places to See

The Guinness Storehouse - Naturally, no trip to Ireland is complete until you’ve toured the Guinness brewery in Dublin and enjoying a proper pint.

Dublin Literary Pub Crawl - Since 1988, they’ve been rambling the streets of the capital and bringing to life the literary history of the city. This walking tour will stop by The Duke, one of our favorite pubs in Dublin, and is a wonderful way to experience the culture and history of the city while also enjoying a few pints.

The Book of Kells Experience - If you’d like to step away from the pubs and see some history, the Book of Kells Experience is a great way to tour the historic Trinity College Dublin and it’s famously stunning library.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral - Standing for 800 years as a tribute to Ireland’s patron saint, this Gothic masterpiece is Dublin’s largest cathedral and a must-see while in Dublin.
