A haunt of many an artist and writer dating back to Oscar Wilde, I'm told (by an Irish-born editor friend). Wonderful old-world atmosphere with AMAZING stained glass windows throughout! Also houses a lunchtime theatre.

O'Donohughe's Bar, Baggot Street Lower, the bar where the Dubliner's played. It has a nice alleyway area that's a little less crowded than the bar itself but which lacks the photos. Great traditional/trad musical selections on the speakers. I heard one New York trad band called Shilelagh Law one night there. Friendly bartenders.
The passage tomb at Abbeyquarter North is amazingly situated on a roundabout in a housing estate named Garavogue Villas in the centre of Sligo Town. The tomb is the same type of boulder circle seen not too far away at Carrowmore with an original cruciform shaped chamber at the centre.

An abbey from the 12th century, I believe. Lots of surviving headstones and picturesque skeleton of the main building, the area where students lived, etc. I saw my first Celtic Angel gravemarker here! Bring crayons and make stone rubbings, if that's allowed (and it's not raining).
