there is lots more to dublin than pubs but there are great pubs. It has gotten expensive in the last few years especially property. It is quite small but compact. It may take a little while to scratch under the surface to get to the creative underbelly but there is lots going on. As a capital it is fairly chilled but has it's usual problems of traffic and crime.
the weather is no worse than most places in western europe. In fact it is not as cold and wet as most places in Europe - it just has a bad rep for rain - the whole green fields thing.
I'd say visit it for a short while - soak up some of the vibe in the better pubs (i don't mean uber posh) some of the smaller regular clubs and restaurants etc.
to be honest, and i know it's a total cliche, I had to leave to realise how much i like it. Apart from all the really annoying aspects it is a great place - so if you can rise above the annoying crap (like any city) you'll get on fine.
