DUBLIN’S TRIBES都柏林社區

DUBLIN DOESN’T REALLY do neighbourhoods. You won’t find a Soho here, and anyone asking for directions to ‘downtown’ will draw looks of confusion as everything is central and easily walkable.

You’ll surely have heard of Temple Bar, a strip of restaurants, pubs and shops on the south bank of the River Liffey that’s Grand Central Station for tourists, but most locals give it a wide berth on weekends.

Instead, for nightlife, follow the students and hipsters towards Aungier Street and Wexford Street, where casual food joints ( Dublin Pizza Company, Aungier Danger doughnut shop, Spanish restaurant Las Tapas de Lola) line up beside craft beer bars like Against the Grain and live music venue Whelan’s.

都柏林其實沒有明顯劃分成不同社區，沒這裡 有蘇豪區，如果問人如何前往「市中心」，對方想必會滿臉困惑。因為這裡一切都非常集中，即使徒步前往亦很方便。

你一定對Temple Bar酒吧區略有所聞，這是指酒吧、餐廳及商店林立的River Liffey河南岸，這一帶是遊客聚集的旅遊熱點，但大多數都柏林人在周末都對此區退避三舍。

相反，若想體驗夜生活，不妨跟隨學生和嬉皮，士 前往Aungier Street街和Wexford Street街，這裡有好幾家休閒餐館（如Dublin Pizza Company薄店餅、Aungier Danger冬甩店和西班牙餐館Las Tapas de Lola），以及多間手工啤酒吧如， Against the Grain和現場音樂表演場地Whelan’s。

不遠的The Liberties區（亦稱

Nearby, The Liberties (also known as Dublin 8) is the city’s upand- coming district, where street vendors selling from prams meet a young, urban set flitting between antique shops, hip cafes and transformative new arrivals like the Teeling Whiskey Distillery.

Grand Canal Dock is where U2 have their recording studio and the techies hang out (during the day, at least) – the European HQs of Facebook, Airbnb and Google are all nearby – and the food scene is improving all the time.

Finally, if your carriage turns into a pumpkin, head to Harcourt Street – a Georgian strip that flips into nightlife central after dark, thanks to cheesy clubs like Krystle and Copper Face Jacks (don’t say we didn’t warn you).

為Dublin8）是城中的新興地區，既有將貨物放在手推車上出售的街頭攤檔，亦有古董店、型格咖啡店及威士忌蒸餾廠Teeling Whiskey Distillery等人氣新貴進駐，令小區洋溢都會活力。

Grand Canal Dock船塢不但是愛爾蘭樂隊U2自設錄音室的所在地，亦是科技人才的消遣熱點（至少白天確實如此） ，皆因Facebook、Airbnb和Google的歐洲總部均在舉步，之遙 區內餐廳的水準更不斷提。高

最後，如果你的馬車變回了南瓜，車 你還可以前往保持喬治期時風貌的Harcourt Street街，條這街道充斥像Krystle 和Copper Face Jacks等低俗夜店，入夜後變身為熱鬧頹靡的生夜 活集中地（可別說我們沒提事先 醒你）。
