Dublin - Hard Rock Cafe



We travelled to Dublin (a four days trip in May 2012), the city of the Irish bands and hometown of U2.
The Irish people are very kind and it was no problem at all that we made many photos in their cafes and pubs. 

We have taken lots of pictures in the Hard Rock Cafe, Captain Americas, music shops and also what we saw on the streets of Dublin (Temple Bar area).



Here an impression of photos in the Hard Rock Cafe (Fleet Street):






The first thing you see when you enter the Hard Rock Cafe is the Trabant used by U2 hanging on the ceiling:

These lyrics were handwritten by Bono for the song "Please", wich appears on U2's 1997 "POP" LP.
