Guinness Storehouse: A Tour of the Dublin Brewery
The Guinness Storehouse is a seven-floor interactive exhibition about Ireland's most famous beer, set in a former fermentation house by St. James's Gate in Dublin. You dig your hands into roasted barley, walk through a whole floor of the famous toucan ads, and right at the top there's a drink with a view over the whole city. A corporate museum that can win over even a skeptic.
The Long Hall Pub, Dublin
These days an Irish pub comes as a kit you can put up anywhere in the world. The Long Hall in Dublin is the original all those copies are trying to imitate: a Victorian interior from 1881, a licence going back to 1766 and a name that probably comes from the corridor behind the bar. Plus two lessons: how Guinness is poured and why whiskey takes a drop of water.
The Cobblestone Pub, Dublin
Ask the guidebooks where to go for a pint in Dublin and they all say the same thing: Temple Bar. After two evenings of long lines and drunk tourists I gave it a miss and, on a tip I got over breakfast, ended up in The Cobblestone - a pub in Smithfield where they play Irish music around a table and the regulars borrow the band's instruments after closing time. The pub Dublin defended against a hotel.
Jameson Distillery: Tour and Tasting
The Jameson Distillery on Bow Street in Dublin is the birthplace of the best-selling Irish whiskey - except that the whiskey has been distilled in Midleton for half a century now, and Bow Street is a museum with a tour and a tasting. Plus the founder's Scottish roots, the difference between whiskey and whisky, and the angels' share you can smell in the air of the barrel warehouse.

In this article you'll find out how the Irish breakfast really differs from the English one, why the hash brown on the plate isn't Irish, how bed & breakfast guesthouses made its name, and which two Dublin places I ate it in alongside the locals.
Churros: Traditional Spanish Fried Pastry
Churros are traditional Spanish fried pastries. The first specialized chocolaterías offering churros and hot chocolate appeared in Madrid in the 19th century.
