Off to Dublin at the end of May for work. Any qbn'ers out there? Drinks?
Also first time visiting... a little nervous to be honest. I think I knew one black guy who visited Dublin, he didn't tell me much about his experience.
- we're everywhere but just curious.notype

- Dublin is international, on the EU tourist map.shapesalad
- there's a few dubliners on here, but you don't see them on that often. i'm in the north, don is talking about the west (which is like another planet)...kingsteven
- dublin has some beautiful spots but it's just a big european city really. you'd be grand in rural ireland too, not at all the same racial tensions as the US.kingsteven
- I've only ever been to CA, Sweden and Netherlands I'm so fucking excited to renew my passport, haven't gone out of the country for 8-long-years (long story)notype
- Eye opening to hear that there's not the same racial tensions as here. Mind boggling that the US is so far behind in its thinking and its policies.notype
- The tensions are within regions is that right? In any case I'll be on the Northside of Dublin :) feel like a kid about to board a rollercoasterin my excitement!notype
- Head to Temple Bar if you want to party like a tourist. The National Gallery of Ireland has an impressive collection. The library in Trinity College..garbage
- ..is really impressive as well. Also Joyce Tower is nearby, if you're into that sort of thing.garbage
- love checking out libraries in diff cities & countries to see how they run things... totally up my alley. and yeah, if dancing is a thing i'd be remiss if inotype
- didn't party it up like tourist, but i'd like to be where the locals are ;)notype
- I haven't been in years, but I remember Temple Bar being kind of like Bourbon Street in NO. Loads of drunk Americans.garbage
- Look up the Trinity College Library, it's intense.garbage
- Not into partying with drunk Americans, avoid it like the plague here.notype
- ...the library is beautiful!notype
- yeah temple bar is a bit of a tourist nightmare. unfortunately most of the locals are priced out of the city. bit rougher in the north part of the city but somekingsteven
- nice spots. dublin also has some lovley coastline that they don't tell the tourists about and a lot going on in the suburbs out to the south like rathmines.kingsteven
- there's a great bar on the north side called the hacienda, it is an absolute gem but the owner will only open the door if he likes the look of you...kingsteven
- if it's close you may as well give it a go but be warned he turns away a ton of folks every night/ occasionally it's private parties.kingsteven
- hah, kingsteven i'll report back and let you know if he shut the door in my face.notype
