Cork City Gaol (Museum)

Located in the Sunday's Well area of Cork, Cork City Gaol is currently a museum and visitor attraction. Visitors can step back in time and witness what life would have been like for both prisoners and guards of Ireland's most famous gaol. Open 1824 to replace the old Gaol of Northgate Bridge it soon became seen as marvel of architecture and a feat in logistics for its time.

Franciscan Well Brewery & Brewpub

Dick Macks Pub

Want to taste some locally brewed Dingle beer? A visit to Dick Mack’s Brewery should be on your itinerary! Part of the very famous Dick Macks Pub, which we included in our “top places to visit in Kerry“, this Brew House dates back to the 1850’s and is now open year round. They’ve only been running brewery tours since last year, but you’ll find many of their brews in the local pubs around town. They also have some food trucks and serve up some mean pizza on sit

Foxy John's

Granted, we’ve listed quite a few great pubs on this list and we wold hate for you to think all you should do in Dingle is crawl from bar to bar but, BUT, there really are so many gems to visit that we simply have to share our favourites with you! The funny thing about many of Dingle’s best bars is that they date back many years and have had two main purposes for as long as they’ve operated. Foxy John’s is a great example, as it is still to this day half hardware store and half traditional Irish pub. Only in Ireland will you find such authentic gems! Also recommended by my friend Nadia, travel writer over at The Daily Self. One of the most unique things to do in Dingle for sure!

The Boat Yard Restaurant

While there are lots of great seafood restaurants in Dingle, The Boatyard is probably our favourite for a fancy night out. The decor is bright and beautiful, the seafood is sensational and the location and those views really are unbeatable. Be it something simple like Fish and Chips or a bowl of freshly caught Mussels from Dingle harbour – the food here is melt in the mouth delicious. The Crab Claws with a Galway Hooker bay, ideally consumed outside in the sunshine, would be our idea of heaven.

O'Flaherty's Bar

You can’t come to Dingle and not spend at least one of your evenings listening to trad music. While there are many great pubs in Dingle, many of which you’ll find on this list, O Flaherty’s is one of the best spots for live music. Located close to the pier, this authentic and charmingly rustic pub will have you coming back through that red door many nights a week! There’s memorabilia all over the walls, kegs have been transformed into tables and even the exterior of the pub is pretty much a photographers heaven.
