    Some nice photos there, but those panoramic ones get very annoying after a while. It's like whoever took them got a new camera that could do that and went on a binge. I'd much prefer that site if there were more 'normal' photos.

    Wouldn't catch me going inside there. I always thought the place looked fairly dangerous from the outside but after seeing the photo's going into it seems pretty stupid to be honest. One wrong step and it's an 8 floor fall.

    As a Dubliner!

    I haven't set foot in The George, Copper Faced Jacks or St James's Gate yet. I am sure there are plenty more institutions I haven't tried but can't think of at the moment. I know people say you're not missing much, but I still feel I must grace their doorways at some stage or another. Anyone have any places they feel they should visit as a Dub?

    The George is brilliant, seriously go, and it's old, lotsa history, especially with Bridies Bar used to be underground.
    Cheap Vodka, and good entertainment every night Wednesday - Sunday especially.

    And Nando's, people keep talking about it, so I looked it up, wanna go try it for myself.
    Growing up my nanny dragged me to everything, so I haven't seen anything on the list except The Casino in Marino that I haven't been to more than once.
    Oh and Bolands Mill, but I live near it, and would love to own it and turn it into a giant pub!

    Mount Jeromes good to walk around and see how old graves are, and some famous people are buried there too, not sure of the names, but the man in the top hat that rings the bell will tell you. You'll see him at the entrance gates probablly!

    To be honest I doubt Boland's Mill will ever be renovated in the near to medium future. I'd say it'll be close to 15-20 years before anything happens to the site, if at all.

    Always thought Bolands mills would be a great setting for a horror movie.

    Ongar: Had never heard of it before I started seeing it as a destination on buses. What kind of destination, I've never had (and probably never will) the opportunity to find out. Actually, the same goes for Poppintree. An interesting name, though.

    More touristy places would include:
    Kilmainham Jail
    Clontarf Castle
    Any of the islands in Dublin bay
