Virtually every major city in the world boasts an Irish pub, but never again will you view an Irish pub in Paris, Kuala Lumpur, New York, Cape Town or Santiago as a coincidence or a lucky find.
Instead, after this one-of-a-kind experience, you will view it as evidence that Ireland's hospitality culture is perhaps the most durable in the world. You will understand how and why an establishment on foreign soil can both soulfully and joyfully retain and reflect the social fabric of Ireland that was held dear by those resettled in the post-famine diaspora.
Explore Ireland's authentic pub culture with a Perfect Pint Connoisseur and sample the best pints of Guinness from the most iconic, traditional Irish pubs in Dublin. The Fair City also offers a true Dublin foodie experience, handily administered at the same time, so that the pairing happens naturally.
Visit four traditional Irish pubs to undertake a valuable education on the pivotal role of these establishments in this country's culture. You will become a connoisseur in your own right as you learn, from a very skilled bartender, how to pull (pour) the perfect pint.
Enjoy your well-earned beverages with some delicious Dublin dishes at two of the pubs — an oyster sampling and a bowl of Irish stew or a traditional Dublin coddle (sliced pork sausages and bacon with chunky potatoes, sliced onion, salt, pepper in a tasty broth). Listen to traditional Irish music and raise a glass to this extraordinary country and its "grafters" — the Irish workforce that continues to build a great and resilient nation.
Notes:
Beer, cider, wine, or a non-alcoholic drink are available. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Food dishes listed are an indication only and may vary on the day.
