13,110 places in Dublin, from Dublin 1's cafés to the pubs of Dublin 8 and Rathmines, for anyone who wants the city as it is on a wet Tuesday.
Ireland is a small island with a big capital, and Dublin is where Num is deepest: 13,110 places across the postal districts, from Dublin 1 and 7 north of the Liffey to Dublin 2 and 8 and Rathmines to the south. That includes 927 bars, 1,002 cafés, 866 restaurants and 520 street food spots, with 82 museums for the days the rain wins.
Ask Num here for a pub in the Liberties with a session on tonight, a café in Dublin 7 open before 8am, a late chemist near your hotel, a chipper still open after the pubs close, a restaurant in Dublin 2 that will take a table for tonight, or a step-free route from Heuston to your lodging. It answers with one place that fits and tells you whether it is open.

It changes by the hour in every season. A waterproof layer and shoes that dry are more useful than an umbrella, which the wind will finish.
Order and pay at the bar, and if you are with locals expect rounds, where each person buys for the table in turn. Most pubs stop serving around 11.30pm on weeknights and a little later at weekends.
A Leap Card from a shop or station works on Dublin Bus, the Luas trams and DART trains and is cheaper than paying per trip. Card payments are accepted almost everywhere in the city, though a few pubs still prefer cash.
Dublin addresses carry a number, odd on the north side of the river and even on the south. Dublin 2 is the center south of the Liffey, Dublin 1 the center north.
Cars drive on the left, so look right first when crossing, and take the green man seriously on the quays.
Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.
Yes; it is a walkable, friendly city. Use normal care around O'Connell Street and the quays late at night and keep phones out of sight on busy streets, where snatch theft happens.
Yes, or any other language. Num answers in the language you write in, with a real place that is open now.
May to September for the longest days and the best odds of dry weather, with June the lightest evenings. Bring the waterproof anyway.
