Over one million people are lucky enough to call our great capital home. People from all over the world flock to live in Dublin, but there are certain things that only folks who grew up in the fair city will understand.
Here are ten things every true Dubliner knows about life.
1. Tamangos…
Is where the gang goes. The Barge is the only pub to go to in the summer. And Baby Wez was the place for sexual awakenings.
2. “Getting the shift” is not a thing…
You score or meet someone. End of.
3. Outside Central Bank…
Was the place to be seen at the weekend (during your emo phase).
4. Putting washing up liquid in this fountain…
Is a rite of passage.
5. Moore St is the only place in the city to get apples…
And your phone unlocked.
6. Scabbing Dublin bus drivers with a fistful of coppers…
“Just a €1.50 please…”
7. Going to Beshoffs / Burdocks…
Is a must-do on Good Friday. And every Holy Day ever.
8. Town on the 8th December…
Is a no-go area. Seriously.
9. Everywhere outside of Dublin…
Is simply “somewhere down the country.”
10. You went to your first gig…
In Eamon Doran’s. And it was magical.
11. Dollymount Strand….
Is the best place in the world to learn how to drive.
12. You know it’s true love when…
He calls you his mot.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Dublin’s refreshing truth. If you’d like to see your home city through the eyes of a famous Irish comedian, come be part of The Sprite Refreshing Truth Tour in Trinity on 18 March.
With thanks to Sprite we’ll be coming to a campus near you for a very special comedy roast. Each location (Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway) will have a comedian for the area to defend their hometown, while the other three tell the hilarious, yet refreshing truth.

Sprite, the truth is refreshing.
