Dublin - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
I like to play poker here and there is a nice little scene but it's not for everyone. The bars and live music are ubiquitous...head down to the Temple Bar area and buy a drink...instant friends. There's plenty of cultural, music and sporting events. The Irish are a social race and if you have the personality to suit you will have a great time. Especially singles and couples. I would highly recommend going to a hurling or football game in Croke Park or watching a rugby game at the AVIVA stadium. There is a popular derby game here every year between Leinster (where Dublin is) and Munster a southern province. Apparently it's quite the rivalry and all the locals go hoping to see Munster get beaten, which rarely happens from what I hear. - Jul 2016
You name it, Ireland has it. The Irish are very fond of having "the one" drink after work, but be warned: one beer often turns into a full night out! There are plenty of cinemas around the city and a lively local theatre scene - Dublin does a great job of pulling in shows from London and around Europe. - Jun 2014
