Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 36 Finding the Tavern in Grafton

Grafton Street has the most traffic at three or four o'clock in the afternoon every day, and the number of people on the street begins to decrease at night.Maybe it's because it's dinner time and a lot of people are back at home, or just at the bar.

Ye Kai found a restaurant here to settle his dinner, and then began to look for interesting taverns on the street.

The pubs in Dublin, and even every Irish pub, are different, and each pub has a strong self-style of the owner.

So you never know what the next tavern will look like, they are like the chocolate beans in Forrest Gump, you never know what the next one will taste like, which one you like, or which you like more.

Outside a handmade suit shop, Ye Kai met eight girls who were practicing tap dancing. They all wore black tight training clothes and danced to the rhythm of a square dance speaker.

Because it was training, they did not wear special leather shoes and practiced on a carpet with bare feet.

Look at other people's square dance culture.

Since Ye Kai couldn't record video while watching Riverdance, Ye Kai didn't get to take pictures of the performances of professional dancers.

"Hello." Ye Kai struck up a conversation.

"Hi! Handsome guy." A girl said, and then several people looked at each other and laughed.

An Asian with dyed blond hair asked, "Hello, where are you from?"

"I'm from China."

"Really?" The girl was surprised, and then said in Chinese: "I'm from Shen Yang, what about you? My God, your English is so good, I thought you were British."

"Sweet City, Sichuan Province, a small city, I'm here to travel. By the way, can I take a video of your training?"

"of course can!"

They proudly danced to the camera for a while, and the song used the electronic music that has become very popular recently.Tap dancing is just a form of dance that, like jazz, can go with any music.

But in the eyes of many, tap dancing has become associated with Irish music.

When I think of tap dancing, I even think of bagpipes and whistles, a kind of very quiet and distant, or Irish music with a strong sense of rhythm.

Must have Irish music to tap dance?
Actually not, he can also match many melodies.

After taking photos with several beauties, Ye Kai posted the photos on Weibo and Moments, and before he even put his phone in his pocket, there was a new message alert.It seems that photos of handsome men and beautiful women attract attention everywhere.

Ye Kai also has other social accounts, which are WhatsApp and Facebook that he applied for after going abroad.However, because I am used to using domestic WeChat and Weibo, I am not used to using foreign software for the time being.

When leaving, Ye Kai asked: "Where is the best bar near here? I like the ones that are less crowded, that is, there are not so many tourists, the kind of tavern with the local Irish style."

"Brother Hill's bar is very good."

"The handsome guy doesn't want to go where there are many tourists."

"Then where else?"

"The bar opened by Irene's brother seems to be okay..."

They discussed for a while, and then directed Ye Kai and said, "Go straight from this street, and there is a red wooden door... Oh, forget it, Lili, why don't you take the handsome guy there?"

Lili is a Chinese girl named Wu Huili, and her English name is Merry.

"No, no, I'll just find it myself. I've lived here for a few days. I know the way, the red door, right?"

Ye Kai didn't want to take her there, the lesson from the past is the lesson from the past.

Two days ago, a girl took Ye Kai to a bar she was familiar with, but when she brought her there, no one left, because she wanted to drink with Ye Kai.Fortunately, Ye Kai slipped away ahead of time, otherwise he didn't know what would happen.

The bar they mentioned was opened by a group of musicians, and they didn't hang signs outside, because they didn't want so many tourists to go to the bar. It seemed that the place was too small to receive too many people.

Follow the path pointed by the girl, and soon you will arrive at the red wooden door they mentioned.

The wooden door is very short, only 1.2 meters three, at the waist of Ye Kai.Next to him is a love band written in chalk.

"Love Band?"

Ye Kai pushed open the door.

There are stairs going down behind the door. This bar should be in the basement.The sound of music and some cheers are coming from inside, so it should be the right place, it is here.

As you go down, the lights get brighter and brighter.

A space with a height of more than two meters, the light is very bright, but not glaring.The ventilation is also very good, at least Ye Kai didn't smell any disgusting smell, the bar counter is similar to other taverns, and the bartender is a handsome middle-aged man from Europe and America.

For Ye Kai, only niche things can surprise.

Compared with the pubs that receive tourists outside, this is the real Irish private land.

This space is about two to three hundred square meters, and belongs to a rectangular space, but to Ye Kai's surprise, there is actually a staircase going down on the side, and there is another floor below.

Although the lower floor also belongs to this bar, it is a place for people to live. There are six rooms on both sides of the passage, and the bathroom is at the end.

It should be the residence of the band. Ye Kai heard that the purpose of their bar opening is to make money and release albums.

After entering this bar, the first thing you will see is all kinds of alcohol on the whole wall, which is very in line with the character of Irish people who love to drink.

The other walls are all filled with ancient decorations.

Not the decor in the Market restaurant, but really old stuff that looks like it was bought from a junk store, bike tires, old radios, stuff like that.

Cleaned up and hung on the wall for decoration.

A granny with a child is about to finish her last drink and leave the pub. Minors are not allowed in Irish pubs after [-]pm, so they have to leave immediately.

The singer with the guitar is playing a nursery rhyme to the children.The old lady dances with the children. This should be her grandson or something. It is a very loving picture.

Seeing Ye Kai looking around, the bartender came over with a glass of wine and said, "This is your first time here?"

Ye Kai took the drink and said, "Yes, it's my first time here. I like the atmosphere of the bar very much."

He motioned to the bartender and took a sip of his wine.

Soda taste, very sweet.

It doesn't look like alcohol, but that's not how alcoholic strength is calculated in cocktails, and many women fall on this issue.

Because the cocktail is neutralized by a lot of things, the alcohol taste is not strong, but the alcohol is still in it.So after a few drinks, the one who should be drunk is still drunk.

And there is no time to react at all, so people who don't drink are better off drinking less at the bar.
