Catching Up

We have been busy vacationing and have neglected posting. Since then we have visited O'Neills, Doyle's and Darkey Kelly's. (I could not find a good web site for Darkey Kelly's.) It is an great little pub that is attached to the hotel we are staying in. We have only visited once and that is only because it was so close and we wanted to visit as wide a variety of pubs that we could. We found an older crowd with an interest in conversation. This place shares the kitchen with the Harding Hotel and Copper Alley Bistro. Food is generally good.

O'Neills was great. Thanks, Tommy for the recommendation! We walked in at lunch time and had no trouble getting a pint and getting a place to sit. Even though it was busy, it was a very easy place to have a relaxing conversation. We found O'Neills on our return from visiting Trinity College. Definitely a great place to sit and enjoy a beer and/or have a meal.

We found Doyle's on our way back to the hotel after leaving O'Neills. Doyle's is another great place to grab a beer. The service was excellent and like many of the pubs we visited, has a diverse crowd. It is an older pub (I think they all are!) in a very interesting location in the middle of everything.

We did all this after visiting Dublin Castle and giving Dad a break while we checked things out. We picked Dad up on the way to Darkey Kelley's. Once we arrived we found out that he spent a couple of hours there while we were visting pubs in the Trinity College area. Glad he managed to get some rest!!!
