Having read a lot about the George in the Rough guide to Dublin, we thought we would give it a try. The "Pink" bars in Dublin are not numerous, but we gathered that this was one of them. Located on South St George Street, central- near Temple Bar.
WHAT'S IT LIKE? The pink neon lighting high up on the walls of the more modern bit gives the game away a bit- a pink coffee cup and the mention of the word "polari" might suggest that this is a gay bar.
There are two parts to the George, the older more traditional Pub and the part that has been done up to be a "bar"..being older and more traditional we opted to go in the pub bit. You have to get used to the dim lighting when you first enter.
Being women entering a busy pub can be a bit traumatic..but not in the George. The atmosphere is mellow and quiet. And the music was muted. I have to say that we were almost the only women in there but it wasn't a problem- the barman was lovely and the drinks were served quickly. They do coffee as well- and we had one.
It's a traditional small pub, with panelled walls, a wooden floor and a fascinating bar with lots of tiny wooden drawers making an attractive scene. Some small wooden tables and chairs are placed around the outside of the walls and there are stools at the bar. There were some "interesting " paintings on the wall that I didn't really notice until my partner pointed them out. They were well drawn male nudes!
Next door is more stylish with polished wooden floor, a larger area for people to drink and a longer more modern bar. This was much noisier and seemed to be where the younger gay element hang out (so to speak!) You can get coffee and food here, but as we didn't go in we don't know what the range is..although the rough guide says it's stylish!
Not many women- so I guess they have their own favourites. It's a shame because we felt that it was a welcoming atmosphere and we enjoyed our visit.
A good place to go if you want to experience the "gay scene"- especially if you are a bloke.
Advantages: Good music, friendly and interesting guests Disadvantages: Attrocious security staff, bullying regular customers
...in order to protest against the attrocious treating of regular customers in the oldest Irish gay club, in the George.I am a regular customer of that club. I have been frequenting that club on Saturday nights, almost on a regular basis, for almost fife years by now.I always enjoyed that venue. It has a particular flair, a kind of culture associated with the fact that it is the oldest gay club in Ireland..I always felt like at home in this place because ... ...in the same way as I feel about life.I liked to express myself in an artistic fashion by dancing on the stage. I do not want do boast but I am a good dancer and many times I have instigated people to start dancing when the stage was empty.As such I think that I the deserve some sort of respect from the management of that club. However last night a terrible thing has happened. I mistakenly took my drink to the smoking area and a member of security ...

Advantages: Great value for such a fascinating collection Disadvantages: Really, there just aren't any!
Ireland is full of literary heritage and no fewer than four deserving Nobel prize-winning writers fill it?s history. It is no surprise to learn that Dublin housed more than it?s fair share of these literary luminaries, due in no small part to the warmth of it?s people and the plentitude of it?s Guiness?
I can?t help but think in terms of the great Irish writers when I think of Dublin ? of James Joyce and Brendan Behan, of George Bernard Shaw and Sean O?Casey, W B Yeats, Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde.
So when I found myself with an unexpected couple of hours to spend in an otherwise whirlwind business trip in that fair city the place that I returned back to after many years away was the Dublin Writers Museum.
The museum is about as central as it can be, situated at 18 ...
Advantages: Central Location Disadvantages: Car parking
a television. We found the staff not very helpful and this opinion was backed up by lorry drivers who regulary stay there.
We were given no information about safes or lockers available to us, we took the risk and left things in the room so I'm unsure about where to leave valuables here. Also we were told by the receptionist as we waited outside on a taxi to move down the street because one member in our company was smoking, she came outside on a freezing cold night to tell us this - very pushy!!!
Location:
Mount Eccles is located in North Great George Street just off lower O'connell Street, one of the main shopping areas in Dublin and smack bang in the centre of things. A leisurely 5 minute stroll will take you there. The street the building is in is a Georgian street and very pretty. At the end of the road there are many Chinese takeaways ...
Advantages: Specialist shops for specific markets Disadvantages: not always stuff you want or need
In a nutshell, Rose Street is Edinburgh is very similar to Dublin's 'Temple Bar'.
Rose Street runs east-west, between and parallel to Princes Street and George Street
The physical relationship to the two larger streets is entirely reflected in the businesses which have established themselves there; hotels, bars and restaurants at the edge of the business district, centred on George Street, and smaller independent specialist shopping establishments which don't pack sufficient retail 'punch' to have an outlet in Princes Street.
Many of the 'simplified' city centre maps don't even show it at all. This, I would suggest is a regrettable oversight.
From memory, the sections between Castle, Frederick and Hanover Street are pedestrianised.
The street forms an integral part of the 'downtown' shopping experience, but from my initial ...
