Guinness Factory. When you get to the top, hopefully you understand what the interior is shaped like. I realized it as they were teaching us to pull a pint at the top, and it was minor league tricky genius.
Then the Post Office. And then, GTFO of Dublin. There's plenty of live Irish music in almost any town of more than 2,000 people in the ROI. Druggies and beggars were a thing 10 years ago, and anecdotal reports say it's gotten worse. You don't need to be in the area of Temple Bar, at all, more than to get the Instagram shot.
ETA: The time I spent in Dublin was probably the most useless time I spent in Ireland over two visits. It's a small country, you can easily drive to the Rock of Cashel, the Cliffs of Moher, etc. The weather is likely to suck (it looks like rain/showers, shocker, are forecast every day for the next ten days.) You will at least likely learn to love the smell of peat fireplaces.

I’d do the Jamison black label tour over Guinness. While I agree that Dublin was our least favorite part of the trip, we still had a good time exploring and enjoying the city. We had no issues with druggies or beggers anymore than when we visit largest cities in the US. I just spent 4 days in Nola. Cork, Blarney castle, Galway and Cliffs or Moher were highlights for us. We have a daughter on the way named Clare after County Clare. We had some excellent oysters there from Galway Bay. Those oysters worked some magic.
