The Definitive List of Where to Drink in Dublin City

Written by Hannah Moyne on January 31, 2019. Posted in Bars Updates

Whether it’s casual pint in a quintessential Dublin pub, a Manhattan in an elegant cocktail bar, or a tipple after hours, we’ve got you covered. No more stressing over where to go.

If you’re anything like us and our mates, deciding where to go can be a nightmare. It usually leads to a 30 minute discussion with no final decision and we end up going to the same place we’ve gone for the last 5 years. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if you want to branch out, find somewhere new in DublinTown to drink, this is the list for you.

We’ve broken it down into categories: Pubs, Cocktail Bars, Gastrobars, Bars that have amazing outside areas, Live Music Bars, Hotel Bars, Sports Bars, Craft Beer Bars, Late Bars, Whiskey Bars & Wine Bars. For the larger ones we’ve then split it in Northside and Southside.
