Fit In
Anything goes in laid-back Dublin. Save your best party clothes for a swanky bar or to get into the best clubs, although nobody but the bouncer would bat an eyelid if you turned up in jeans. Dubliners prove that city folk can be friendly – it's likely that someone next to you propping up the bar will ask how you're doing, so get chatting.
