“Great way to start in Dublin - We often like to start our time in a new city with a food, pub or walking tour. Our guide, Rob, was great and had his night cut out for him as we were having torrential rain. On the plus side, the pubs were not as busy. Despite the rain, we still had 12 of us in our group. We had several stops including The Black Sheep, Jack Nealon’s, Slattery’s and ended the night with a pint and live music at J. McNeills. It was great to get introduced to some local pubs, chat with the group and enjoy some beer and music.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-16
