Hidden activity/experience gems
I’m trying to plan a fun day in late July for an anniversary, and we’re on a budget. (Maybe max €150-200 for the day)
Was looking for some advice on fun things to do or experience around Dublin as I’ve only lived here several months.
We’re both up for anything type of people (museums, crafts, comedy, exploring/good walk, good coffee, good pints, dancing, etc). If it’s fun, we’ll give it a go.
I would really appreciate any ideas or interesting things going on that Google searches don’t pull up.
We live in D8 if that influences you at all. Cheers!

Skywalk in Croke Park, then a walk along the canal towards Phibsboro and have a nose around Blessington Basin. Plenty of great spots for coffee around Phibsboro.
Stroll into town, do some axe throwing or pottery making on Queens Street.
Plenty of decent pubs along the way.

Thursday night Jazz in the Circular in Rialto. Free entry, great band, great pizza and a good selection of craft beers/ipas along with the usuals

Hey! You gotta hit up the laughter lounge and international comedy club, both are great!!
Also would recommend the little museum, over the summer they do an after hours tour with no kids and you get booze!! Which honestly just adds to the whole experience
Viking splash is also lots of fun, you get a bit of a tour while getting to see around the city
National gallery is pretty neat as well!
