I have some business I'll be doing in Northern Ireland in a few months. I've never left the country, so I figure either Ireland or Northern Ireland will be an awesome place to start.
Has anybody ever been to either Ireland or Northern Ireland, and if so, any suggestions for cool shit to do?
Drinking a genuine Guinness is already on the agenda.

Obviously, getting wasted on alchohol is like a fucking way of life there.

Yeah, I think other than U2, Seannad O'Conner, and The Cranberries, the rest of their chart topping songs are drinking songs.

Are the Dropkick Murphys legit Irish or do they just sing Irish ditties about drinking? Either way, I plan on listening to that while I drink whiskey.

You could make a tour of Dublin if you get there, visiting the locations of James Joyce's Ulysses. That's what I would do if I went to Ireland.
But then again, I'm a dork.

True story  . I like Flogging Molly quite a bit. The best part is that my adviser I'll be going with is Irish. I'm really hoping he's willing to drink with me, and better, to sing drinking songs.

He could be... he just hangs out waiting for a note. What else is there to do but to beat it?

Stop being gross, that is ERROR, and if you have played through Zelda II you would know who he is.

As much of a Zelda fanboy as I am, I've never attempted to play through Zelda II because I hate it with a fiery passion. Sorry guys!

If in Dublin I can recommend a few restaurants.
No I have not been but these were recommended by guys I know that have been.
The Purdy Kitchen
34 35 East Essex St.
Temple Bar Dublin 2
L’Ecrivian
109a Lower Baggot St.
Dublin 2
The Windjammer
Townsend St.
Dublin 2
The first and last are pubs, and the 2nd is a quite fancy restaurant. Good stuff in all, but I can't guarantee that any of it is reasonably priced. My buddy likes to spend when he is away, and he makes a hell of a site more loot then I do.
