Back at Brother Hubbard for some breakfast pancakes, coffee and reading time. Not in the picture: me sitting in a raincoat on the terrace shielding myself against the occasional splash of rain. #ireland #dublin #sundaybrunch #pancakelove

Vintage Cocktail Club

If you are a cocktail lover, Vintage Cocktail Club located in the heart of Temple Bar is the place to be. The place will make you feel like you’ve travelled back in time, because of its glamorous and vintage atmosphere. The cocktails on the menus are little pieces of art themselves, and thus perfect for the gram.

Street art

Since graffiti is more respected nowadays, more street art can be found around Dublin. Some of them are masterpieces made by renowned artists and adorn large building façades. There is also a place that’s worth popping in if you are into street art: the Tivoli car park. Each year during the All City Jam, Ireland’s finest Graffiti Writers gather to spray their art. Now you just go to pick the art that matches your feed the best.

The Bernard Shaw

The Bernard Shaw was cool before being hipster became trendy. It has large outdoor areas and bars, an exhibition space, live bands and DJ’s performing, street food & flea markets, and a pizza bus and cafe. What’s not to love? This is the place is great for a simple, but perfect Italian breakfast or lunch between work-time, but also for grabbing pints with friends in the weekends… and of course for taking that perfect shot for your Instagram feed!
