DUBLIN, IRELAND
The good times have always rolled in Dublin, but with inventive eateries and bars popping up quicker than you can order a pint of Guinness, now’s a brilliant time to discover the city beyond the well-trodden pubs of Temple Bar. Find burgers and beer at street-food market Eatyard, or splash out at Heron & Grey, whose fine dining has already won it a Michelin star. For a tipple, head to the Teeling Whiskey Distillery, the first to open in Dublin for 125 years – steps from where a Teeling made whiskey 230 years ago. It’s a fine aperitif to a night sampling the city’s most imaginative entertainment – from cooking your own cut on a volcanic slab at Rustic Stone to partying like it’s 1499 at the Vintage Cocktail Club, whose drinks list takes inspiration from eight centuries’ imbibation.
