The Clarion is a couple of notches up in standard on Jury's. It has a very modern and comfortable bar and restaurant. Rooms are very nice and some have good views. It is safe walking up the quay from the Point, especially when concerts are on. IFSC, while quieter and safer than Temple Bar, can be a bit dead on weekday nights, but, there are three good pubs (no loud music or gougers!), Lagoona, Harbourmaster and Excise. Reads outside IFSC at Store Street Police Station is also very good. There is also a new Wine Bar opened on George's Dock. You can drop into Milano's, opposite the Clarion, for a post concert pizza or pasta!
