Like neighbouring England, some of the best food in Ireland is of the simplest kind. Then what better place than one of the old-world pubs to try some local food with the drinks?
TimeOut had recommended the Porterhouse in the Temple Bar area, so after a walk through Dublin Castle and Trinity College here I was. The Porterhouse is a large pub with three levels, an excess of wood and lots of old-world charm. It is also Dublin's oldest microbrewery pub that only sells its own beer labels.
