DUBLIN CITY GUIDE

BY

www.wunsystems.com www.cloudvo.com This year’s Coworking Europe Conference is in , , held at the iconic Croke Park Stadium.

With 500 delegates from over 50 countries expected to be in attendance, we know we are participating

in a must not miss event. Together, we will share in the rise of the Coworking movement and

how it’s transformed entrepreneurship, innovation, and the overall culture within the workplace

for companies of all sizes.

This conference will feature unique insights from the best in the industry, including various speakers and

panelists offering their thoughts on the best practices, what the future may hold for coworking and new

ideas of all sorts to an audience of operators, facility managers, real estate developers, city council

representatives, entrepreneurs, and various public development agencies.

Regardless of your experience in Coworking, this may even be your first time attending a conference, we are certain this will be a ‘disruptive’ experience, and we mean that in the best way!

To better prepare you for Dublin and all that she offers, here is our handy City Guide.

Dublin: City Guide | 04 Places to Eat

Breakfast and Lunch

► The Lovely Food Company: located in Drumcon- dra (read: a few minutes from Croke Park), this cozy café is perfect for an on-the-go breakfast. Try the eggs benedict! €€

► Beanhive: this coffee shop serves traditional Irish breakfast. €

► Whitefriar Grill: this steakhouse serves up delicious brunch. We recommend the lobster hash and truffle French toast. €€

► 147 Deli: popular spot for their infamous sand- wiches and coffee on Parnell Street. €

Dinner

► The Barge: is a local spot in the Charlemount /Portebello area located on a canal. €€

► Camden Kitchen: the menu here is French- inspired modern European. €€

► Coppinger Row: an upscale, Mediterranean place for cocktail, extensive wine list, and small plates. They have an Early Bird Special on week- nights. €€€

► Matt The Thresher: a seafood spot located in the Baggot Street area. We think it’s worth the walk. €€€

► Seafood Bar: seafood lovers will swoon. €€€

Sweet Treats & Bakeries

► Murphy’s Ice Cream: located off Grafton St., this place makes their own flavors. €

► Queen of Tarts: tucked away in Temple Bar in Cows Lane, this café is famous for their baked goods. €

Dublin: City Guide | 05 Places to Drink

► Vintage Cocktail Club (V.C.C.): located on a side street in Temple Bar, look for a black, unsuspecting door with VCC written on it. Ring the doorbell to be let in. Reservations are highly recommended. €€€

► Sophie’s Bar: this trendy bar is on the 5th floor of the Dean Hotel. Great views. €€

► O’Donoghue’s: this pub on Merrion Street is where you’ll find locals rather than tourists, and good live music. €€

► O’Neill’s Bar & Restaurant: off Grafton Street, featuring live music and a great mix of people. €€

► The Blind Pig Speakeasy: this place has password and codes to get in, but this underground speakeasy is worth the effort. €€

Dublin: City Guide | 06 Prepare for your Trip!

Let’s Get Packing

► November is chilly. Pack a waterproof jacket and/or an umbrella. A scarf will help with the windchill. ► Dublin is a walking city (several streets are cobblestoned), so comfortable shoes are a must. Boots are highly recommended. ► Exchange your money to Euros before you get to Dublin. If you choose to exchange at the airport and or inside the city center, you will be charged a higher commission. While most places accept major credit cards, cash is best for the public transportation, smaller shops, and tipping. ► Bring a travel Adapter for your electronic devices that is specific to the U.K (three prongs). ► Passport. You may leave your passport in your room safe. It is not required while you are out and about, however, carry at least one form of photo I.D. with you always (Driver’s License is best).

Tipping Norms

It is not customary to tip in Ireland. Service charges are often included in the bill. However, if you would like to leave a tip for your service, 10% is normal.
