    Go on a nice long hike in the Dublin / Wicklow mountains. Great to get out into the fresh air, bring the dog (or someone else's dog) for some more craic and finish it off with a nice cool pint in the local pub! Tiring but good fun.

    How about going bowling OP? It's great craic for a date -isn't weather dependant, dont have to teeter around in high shoes, not too expensive -plus gives a good talking point so no awkward silences and plenty of opportunities for a bit of "show me again how to do it" body contact ;)

    Have a great time whatever you choose -and let us know how ya get on! :)

    -1 for the zoo, I hate the place, I'd pick no date at all over a date at the zoo!

    +1 for picnics though, they're relaxing and cheap and you can just hang out and chat or play frisbee or whatever.

    Yep went to the zoo the other day and it was great. We tried on a sunday and the que was about 1.5 - 2 hours long. Tried again on a weekday and walked straight in. Oh and bring your own food with you. Save you money and queing for crappy food.

    And the baby elephant rocks!

    Things like ice skating, art exhibitions, IFI isn't bad, christmas market in the IFSC isn't bad (hmm to mulled wine :))...

    got to love when the guy puts some effort into the dates and it's not just a pub.

    The International Comedy club on Wicklow St is a great spot for a date - its only a tenner in and the show last 2 - 2 and a half hours. Some new and veteran comedians there every week.

    + 1 million for the zoo - savage place to go on a date!!!

    -1 for the Zoo.. Fcuking hate the place, it's a big spread out load of nothing, animals were all asleep last 2 times I went.. Overpriced and overrated IMHO..

    Went two months ago and I was so bored and so was the guy we left and went to Howth and had a better time. I would say Howth or concert:)

    Cocktails in the G works well also, its usually very quiet and plenty of space so nice and private, and dare i say it, intimate!!

    They also do morning coffee for two which is lovely apparently, so that could work, or theres the afternoon tea which i've heard is lovely.

    Javas can be a crusty and/or teen fest sometimes but if its quiet its ideal!!
