The Guinness Storehouse

No visit to Ireland would be complete without having sampled the sights, smells and tastes of one of Dublin’s most famous attractions, the Guinness Storehouse. Bond with your clients over a pint of this iconic black stout and prepare to be amazed by the brewing process.

The City By Bike

For an unconventional approach to getting to know your guests, why not escape from the constraints of the office and take in the city by bike? Many local companies now offer tours and guided routes by such famous locations as St George Bernard Shaw’s birthplace and the famous Merrion Square. If your clients are environmentally savvy or health and fitness-conscious, this is a unique and entertaining way to welcome them.

Live Music

Once the introductions have been made and business for the day is done, sample the inimitable delights of traditional Irish music over a Guinness and amongst the warmth of the locals. O’Donoghue’s pub is particularly famous, hosting live music a staggering seven nights a week, but you are spoilt for choice along any of the city’s streets. Even the buskers in this city prove well worth listening to.

Delicious Dining

There has arguably never been a better time to explore Dublin’s dining options, with a diverse range of cuisines available for even the most difficult diner. Rustic, hearty food is something of a speciality, but Italian restaurants in Dublin are also especially popular and respected. Options such as Toscana and Il Posto will require you to book in advance, so be sure to avoid disappointment.

Dublin Castle

To leave a lasting impression, ensure your guests visit the unconventional Dublin Castle, built across two medieval courtyards and popular for prestigious recitals, black-tie events, and conferences. The stunning interior of the castle does require a fee, but in good weather you can freely wander the grounds and discuss ambitions and successes with clients and friends alike.
