Dublin is good for nightlife. Great pubs, singing etc. but I can't remember may other highlights. It's a nice place but not that special.
I thought the Guiness brewery was interesting.
I had a great dinner at reastaurant named Bruno's in the Temple Bar area. Without any doubt the best chocolate mousse I have ever had!!!!!
Now if you have some time try visiting the rest of Ireland. It's been 4 years and I have been wanting to go back since.
