10 Pubs In Ireland You Need To Drink At On Your Next European Vacation

scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net

As you may know, Ireland has an incredible range of beer products. That was something I was looking forward to on my epic vacation to the country. (A vacation I've written plenty about already).

Now I'm over 21 so I don't have to worry about buying and consuming beer, but for any readers who are in the purgatory age range between 18 and 21, Ireland is THE place to go to drink.

If you ever happen to have the fortune of visiting the beautiful country, here are 10 amazing bars and pubs where you can drink and have the best of times!

1. The Temple Bar - Dublin

The Legend of Temple...

The signature bar of Dublin, The Temple Bar is about as good as it gets when it comes to meeting Irish people and experiencing the culture. Feel free to come down, chug a Guinness and sit next to a statue of James Joyce.

2. Top of The Guinness Factory - Dublin

Even the Obamas were there!

The Guinness factory is not just a fantastic museum, but going to the very top of the building leads to free Guinness! What's better than that?

3. Matt The Millers - Kilkenny

Walk across the nice bridge and gaze across the pond as you enter and exit Matt The Millers, and look out for drunk naked men jumping off the bridge!

4. Beachcove Cafe - Waterville, Kerry

While walking on the Charlie Chaplin Walk you'll see the Beachcove Cafe. We went there on the day some wedding happened in England.

5. Gus O'Çonnor's Pub - Doolin

The Pub of the Cliffs

Once you're done walking around the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, come on down to the chill at the pub and tell stories about the beauty they witnessed.

6. O'Connor's Famous Pub - Galway

The Junk Museum

Gus O'Connor is so famous he has TWO pubs named after him. This popular pub in Galway has a bunch of antiques and junk items all over, making you weirdly comfortable to the atmosphere.

7. The Shire - Killarney

Another great Lord of The Rings trilogy!

I didn't know how good the Ireland trip was gonna be until I heard that we'll be near a pub in Killarney called The Shire. This pub was inspired by JRR Tolkien's novels and Peter Jackson's film adaptations of The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings, what more can I say?!

8. The Skeff Bar - Galway

Center city Galway

Nearby the docks of Galway, this place has great wings. And nearby this pub is a bust of one of America's most famous Irishmen: John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

9. O'Sullivan's Court House Pub - Dingle

Leaving a mark

A small pub in Dingle with nice live music and odd bathrooms. Also I got to write my name on the wall! Philly Philly!

10. The Kings Head - Galway

The King's Head

Not much else to say about this.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
