Pubs in Ireland
Irish pubs (because every foreign student calls them Irish because they are very singular for us and they look very different to our typical pubs in our countries) are gorgeous.
You can find typical live Irish music and many kinds of beers. Guinness is one of the most drunk beers here, but one pint is a little bit expensive for students. Therefore, we prefer to drink other kinds of beers like Fosters, Carlsberg, etc.
You can find a lot of lonely men in the pub drinking a beer and listening to music or watching horse races. They could seem unfriendly, but they are really nice. You can practise your English for free with native speakers, if you sit down near these people. It could be a good experience, you are going to improve your English significantly.
In our opinion, we recommend The Hibernian, near the Dart station, because it’s very relaxing and quiet. The waiters are very friendly and prices aren’t very high.
You’re always welcome there. Visit it! It will be an unforgettable experience!
Personal experience in the pub
I am Tomas and I am studying in Bray. I’ve been here a week and I have visited some of the local pubs. Ireland is famous for being the country where most beer is drunk. That’s why there is a pub in every street. The most popular beer is “Guinness”. It has a special taste with less gas. The best place to have a Guinness is Temple Bar. It’s one of the best districts in the world, with people from every where walking and enjoying the night life of Dublin. In every pub and every corner of Temple Bar there are musicians playing different instruments and different kinds of music.
Music in Ireland
In Ireland, it’s very common to see on the streets different groups of people playing different kinds of music. For example rock music, pop music….it’s really nice! In general, these people are only doing that in their free time, but others are professional.
Especially, the people who play Irish music. In these cases, sometimes you can also see Irish dance at the same time. It’s incredible! The steps are very fast and the movements very rhythmic.
