Answer 2

depending on where you are staying will say where the best place to go is...

if you want to stay away from the tourist areas and want to see the real Dublin and like traditional music and atmosphere..I can recommend,

'the cobblestone' in smithfield

'O'sheas merchant' on the quays near christchurch

'the foggy dew' temple bar

'the flowing tide' abbey street lower

these all have traditional music nights

for clubbing and dancebars, try

'Pravda' at the ha'penny bridge/liffey street

'K3' also in liffey street

'the porterhouse' temple bar- brew all their own beers, great atmosphere- one of my favourites

'the globe' George's street

'bank' in dame street-

'dakota' in south william street- another favourite

drinking is expensive in Dublin, most places charge over 5 euro per pint of beer

enjoy your stay

Answer 3

Late clubs and bars are aplenty! Reynards is pretty swish and stays open late.

Then you have Bucks, Legs, and Rio's on Leeson St. Bucks and Legs are late Wine bars.

If you want a proper reali life Irish experience avoid temple bar like the plague, it's a tourist trap.
