    3. Gravity Bar is the highest bar in Dublin located 46 metres off the ground.
    4. St. James’s Gate at the entrance to the Guinness brewery in Dublin was once the start of a pilgrimage to Compostella in Spain and pilgrims from all over Ireland used to gather in this site to start the journey to Spain.
    5. 3 million pints of Guinness are brewed every day at the St James’s Gate brewery.
