Amazing live, traditional music. Temple Bar is for tourists, the Cobblestone is a bit more authentic.

Sightseeing
Beautiful long hall library in the middle of Trinity College. The book of Kells is located here. At 12 Euros, I personally think it is a bit overpriced, and it's usually not a bad idea to book in advance. Otherwise, just walk around Trinity Campus, a bit of an oasis in the city center.
See a jail where Irish political dissidents were held and mistreated, contributing to the 1916 uprising that resulted to Irish independence. A very important part of the country's history. You can only enter with a guided tour so be sure to book in advance.

The most popular tourist destination in the city, hands down. Book your tour in advance and consider going on a weekday or early in the day to avoid crowds. If you're not interested in beer/Guinness, you can skip it!
