A classic student spot: The Pavilion Bar @Trinitycollege

Location: College Green, South-East Inner City, Dublin 2

No student’s experience in Dublin can be complete without a trip to Trinity College’s famous Pavilion Bar. Offering stunning views of the university’s green sports field and into its campus, the bar is open for everyone, not just Trinity students (although, you should bring a form of valid student ID).

The drinks are relatively cheap for Dublin prices; a pint of Guinness will set you back 4.10 euros while cans of cider are available for as cheap as 2.90 euros. The venue also boasts a reasonably priced food menu. All profits go directly to supporting local sports clubs, so you can even give yourself a pat on the back for doing good when you drink that pint!
