Default What to do in Dublin?

Going on a works trip this weekend to Dublin, Friday to Sunday - whose got recommendations of things to do?

It will basically be a huge drinking session, intermixed with visits to lap dancers so if anyone could point us in the right direction it would be appreciated.

PS - any restrictions on dress code we should be aware of?

I used to go to a rubb-a-dub-a-lin four times a year and the only issue I noticed was that a lot of bars had issues with groups of lads... and I mean more than 2 lads at once!

I think you've covered all the options. Drink + lap dancing seems about right. Take lots of money though. No doubt you'll head for Temple Bar which is mega expensive these days.

If its just drinking, then temple bar is you're best bet.

Wearing organge colours would be fine nowadays, we're all over that Green/Orange thing - we'll at least the majority of us are.

However you'll hardly be too far out with the following areas
Leeson Street, Camden Street, Wexford Street.

As mentioned, its a pretty expensive place now too so bring lots of money!

There is F all to do in Dublin except drink. If you like getting lashed and singing footy songs at the top of your voice, you will love it!!

As other posts have eluded to, take out a 2nd mortgage, it's stupidly expensive over there.

Guinness over there is spot on!

Default Guniness Museum

If you plan on going to the museum, prebook tickets online. You get a 10% discount but the best thing is that you can go straight to the front of the queue which, when I went last November, was right round the block.

Open top bus trip fills the times between drinking!
