Dublin or Belfast ?

Nothing wrong with Dublin as long as you stay away from the Temple Bar.

We are going on a stag soon. Is that area no good? Any recommendations for betters places for a beer?

It's a tourist trap pretty much...it'll be busy but it's expensive.

Now that the parameters have been expanded, definitely Galway.

Is it easy to get to Belfast

About half an hour on easy jet from newcastle.

depends on what days you coming over. Belfast is pretty dead on a sunday, yes you can do the pubs etc but not much atmosphere in town on a sunday.

If you're on a stag do, its the only place you'll get in!

In truth the Temple Bar is fine for what it is. Its like the Printworks in Manchester or Concert Square in Liverpool. But if you really want to experience Dublin probably you'll probably try to get out of there if you can.

Can't say I felt comfortable in Belfast, in fact it's the scariest place I've ever been

Galway class. Belfast over Dublin. All worth a visit at some point.

What’s scary about Belfast?

I lived there for 5 years, it’s a great city

Just the opposite for me, no concerns at all whilst I was there.

Should you go to Belfast - find a session to visit The Spaniard (bar/music/food/cocktails) - Skipper St BT1.


Wexford town is quite a boozy place and great being on the river - tons of history - plenty to drink, eat and see there on a weekend visit.

That is true literally everything is shut sunday morning and early afternoon.
