Best Dublin Nightlife Areas for a Stag Do

Dublin is one of the loudest, busiest and booziest cities in the world. Guinness and whiskey flow through the streets, along with gorgeous Irish girls… Dublin consistently tops the best bars/pubs/clubs lists in the whole of Europe. There isn’t a tourist (or local) in the land that hasn’t been swept up in the hedonistic atmosphere of the notorious Temple Bar. But, you’ve also got a load more areas, filled with traditional venues and massive crowds.

Bustling,
Jam packed
Temple Bar

The Temple Bar is Dublin personified. Closely following Guinness and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, this district is why this capital is beloved. The all-encompassing drinking zone is lined with pubs and bars, and that’s no exaggeration… The venues are crammed into a hugely busy street, with small alleys leading off the main ‘strip’ to even more pubs. There’s a reason this is the biggest attraction in the city.

Wexford / Harcourt / Camden Street

We’re heading into edgy and alternative nightlife in Wexford Street, with the likes of Whelan’s attracting Ed Sheeran. However, as you snake your way down to Harcourt Street, it’s like you never left the Temple Bar. Bursting with massive clubs, it’s loud, lively and open ‘til very late… On the way to Harcourt Street, you’ll pass Camden – a quirky and hipster ‘strip’ to sink a few real ales and craft beers whilst twiddling your handlebar moustache.

The nightlife doesn’t stop at Temple Bar… Pass through the district and over the river, and you’ll experience the more traditional side of Dublin. This is where you’ll see the real city, with locals propping up the bars and sinking pints of Guinness (that stereotype is true). The nightlife stretches from O’Connell Street, to Jervis and the adjacent Capel Street.

As you might have already guessed, Dublin nightlife is not narrowed down to one ‘strip’. The city centre’s boozy venues are spread all over, starting at Baggot Street – home to one of the city’s oldest pubs – all the way to the modern George Street, host to an A-list club. You’re also right in the thick of Dublin’s big shopping district, to pick up Dublin souvenirs (leprechaun fridge magnets, bottles of Guinness etc.).

Basically, you can’t have a stag do in Dublin without having a few pints in this pub. The atmosphere is buzzing, busy, loud and boasts traditional live music each day, starting from noon and going onwards until the early hours. This pub even has one of the busiest beer gardens in the whole city, where you can soak up the rays and enjoy that cheeky Irish craic that the city is renowned for.

Oliver St John Gogarty

58 Fleet Street, Temple Bar
Visit Website
The loud and proud neighbour of The Auld Dubliner is bright green and couldn’t be more Irish if it tried.

Spread over two floors, this is the prime spot for a good old Irish knees up, fuelled by the huge selection of rare whiskeys and massive wine list.

Dicey's Garden

Visit Website
Welcome to Dicey’s, the garden even Alan Titchmarsh is envious of.

Located on Harcourt Street, within Russell Court Hotel, Dicey’s Garden has 23 screens to watch sport, top DJs performing each weekend and an unrivalled barbeque on offer.

Tick the Cultural Box on Your Dublin Stag Do

If your Dublin knowledge is limited to a ginger bloke called Paddy and a potent black beer, you probably should get yourselves a bit more cultured on your stag weekend in Dublin. Here's exactly how you can, with our top 10 ways to tick the cultural box in Dublin. Note: a lot of them are pubs - so it's a win-win.

1
Guinness Storehouse
St. James' Gate, Ushers, Dublin 8, Ireland
Guinness Factory Tour
It’s number one for a reason. This one’s essential to tick off any stag do in the Irish city. The birthplace of the country’s best expat (other than Robbie Keane) is the city’s most popular attraction, with seven floors of Guinness history to explore. The giant pint glass of a building (which can hold 14.3 million pints of the good stuff, FYI), has seen the likes of Taylor Swift, Barack Obama, Tom Cruise, the entire Lord of the Rings cast and even The Queen pass through its gates – and if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for your stag do. A trip to the Guinness Storehouse is educational, cultural and you can sink a few pints in the Gravity Bar at the top, too. Everyone’s a winner.
2
Old Jameson Distillery
Bow St, Smithfield Village, Dublin 7, Ireland
Visit Website
The Old Jameson Distillery is the former home of the world’s best-selling whiskey, Jameson. The enchanting distillery is packed full of history and insights into producing the liquid nectar. Similarly to the Guinness Factory, any trip here is semi-cultural, semi-p*ss up – our favourite kind of semi. It’s also got a huge bar where you can sample your favourite tipples. All in the name of absorbing the culture, of course…
3
Croke Park / GAA Museum
10 St Joseph's Ave, Ballybough, Dublin 3, D03 NF29, Ireland
Visit Website
Croke Park is as much an icon in Dublin as the Temple Bar. This is the home of the Gaelic Games, Ireland’s traditional (and complicated) sport. It’s steeped in over a century of history, has a massive capacity of 82,000 and you can even take a tour around it. The weird and wonderful sports include Gaelic football, Gaelic handball and even hurling (a hockey-come-cricket-come egg and spoon race hybrid, obvs). We’re not going to pretend we understand all of the intricate rules to the sport, but we’ll happily try our hand at a spot of Gaelic Games. When in Rome ‘n’ that.
4
Temple Bar
Temple Bar, Dublin 2, Ireland
Temple Bar, Dublin’s cultural quarter, is known the world over for its lively atmosphere 24/7 and its unmissable nightlife scene. You’ll recognise the Temple Bar itself from pretty much every iconic photo you’ve ever seen of Dublin, but the area boasts lots more than just the lively red corner building; there’s The Auld Dubliner, Oliver St John Gogarty and The Porterhouse Central to name but a few huge pubs in the area, all boasting live music, free-flowing drinks and enough craic to sink a battleship.
5
Dublin Castle
Dame St, Dublin 2, Ireland
Visit Website
Dating back to the 13th century, on the site of a Viking settlement, Dublin Castle is an impressive building, with six iconic towers to its name. It’s €8 to get in, making it one of the cheaper Dublin tourist attractions – leaving plenty cash left in your stag do drinking fund. Plus, as it’s just on the outskirts of the Temple Bar, you won’t have to walk far from the very best Dublin bars to tick this one off your list.
6
The Brazen Head
20 Lower Bridge St, Merchants Quay, Dublin 8, D08 WC64, Ireland
Visit Website
The Brazen Head is Dublin’s oldest pub, set just a 10-minute walk from the Temple Bar. Dating back to at least 1613, with word on the street that the site has housed a tavern or alehouse since 1198, it’s worth a visit for the history alone, but it’s also renowned for serving some of the best pints in the city (ah, so now you’re listening). Its castle-like exterior will lure in your inner child and the huge range of beers will keep any stag group occupied all day and night. It’s a great place to spend the afternoon and is widely regarded as an excellent 'warm up' before you head over to the Temple Bar area.
7
St. Stephen’s Green
St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland
Located in the very centre of Dublin, St. Stephen’s Green offers a whopping nine hectares of plush green park land, ideal for a bit of chillaxing (read: sorting those hangovers out) after a heavy previous night. Just a stone’s throw away from Camden, Harcourt and Wexford streets (and all of their edgy, alternative bars), once you’ve recharged your batteries, you can get right back on it.
8
Kilmainham Gaol
Inchicore Rd, Kilmainham, Dublin 8, D08 RK28, Ireland
Visit Website
A former prison may not be the first thing you think of when you think ‘stag do’, but this one is pretty cool. Structurally, the building is very interesting and has been used as the set for several movies and even the BBC drama, Ripper Street. Now a museum, this place has housed some pretty famous crooks, including the likes of Irish revolutionaries, who were imprisoned and executed here.
9
Little Museum of Dublin
15 St Stephen's Green, Dublin, Ireland
Visit Website
This much-loved museum in central Dublin will give you a rundown of Dublin history from the 20th century, right up to date. So, if your Dublin knowledge is limited to Guinness and a ginger-bearded man in a green suit called Paddy, you might just learn a thing or two here. Plus, similarly to St. Stephen’s Green, it’s just seconds from the Camden, Harcourt and Wexford streets grid of bars – including the world famous music haunt, Whelan’s – meaning you won’t have to travel far for your next pint.
10
The Church Bar
Junction of Mary St. and Jervis St., Dublin 1, Dublin, D01YX64, Ireland
Visit Website
Checking out the local architecture is all well and good, but you’re missing out on valuable drinking time on your stag do – which is why The Church bar and restaurant is the ideal haunt to kill two birds with one stone. Housed in an actual former church, this venue now houses a cafe, nightclub and fantastic outdoor BBQ area for those balmy Dublin nights. There’s a main bar, cellar bar and tower bar, all selling a wealth of craft beers and contemporary cocktails, leaving you lot with plenty of space to spread out and get your rounds in. Amen to that.

Staying Safe in Dublin

Keep to the main areas of Dublin rather than straying into unfamiliar territory

Ferry

You could travel to Dublin the old-fashioned way, on a boat. A ferry is a comfortable option for those that don’t have a head for heights (albeit not those who don’t have the stomach for water…), with cosy on-board cabins, bars and meals included. You can travel from Liverpool with P&O Cruises; you can even take your car on board. However, the travel will eat into your time away, as it takes an average of eight hours to get to Dublin. From the port, it’s a further 20 minute drive to the city centre (around €25).

Planes

Out of 65 locations, Dublin is one of our most well-connected. In 2016, Dublin airport had its busiest year, with over 900 low-cost airliners flying to the capital from all over the world – including the likes of Aer Lingus, Ryanair and Easy Jet. It takes around one hour and 15 mins to get to Dublin from our very own capital, and only one hour from the likes of Manchester. You can even get the ferry from Liverpool if you’ve got strong sea legs.

A ferry is a comfortable option for those that don’t have a head for heights (albeit not those who don’t have the stomach for water…), with cosy on-board cabins, bars and meals included. Setting off from the port of Liverpool, it’s a small dip in the stag weekend wallet - starting at £59 each way on P&O Ferries – and you can even take your car on board. However, the travel will eat into your time away, as it takes an average of eight hours to get to Dublin. From the port, it’s a further 20 minute drive to the city centre (around €25).

Getting Around Dublin

Dublin is home to loud nightlife and, you’re in luck, as it’s easy to get to all the different parts (bars) in the city on foot.

Walk
Dublin is notoriously easy to walk around, even with Guinness thrown in. The Temple Bar is where you’ll spend most of your day (and night), and it’s all concentrated in one area – with small streets coming off the main ‘strip’. Put simply, it’s around 10 minutes from the start of the Temple Bar to the end, not accounting for those all-important pints along the way. Once you manage to pull yourself away from this drinking district, it’s a further 10 minute stroll to the likes of Grafton Street and the nearby bars and restaurants (we told you it was easy). If you stray even further from the Temple Bar – the bouncing Harcourt Street, with top beer gardens and massive clubs – is only 20 minutes away.

Bus
Dublin bus, the primary network for travel in the city, operates a network of 110 radial, cross-city and peripheral routes, as well as 18 routes in the city and Greater Dublin area. However, and unique to a capital, the Dublin bus doesn’t have a system-wide map available online, so you have to trust us… You can get a single ticket for the bus (€2-€3) from Grafton Street to Pearse Street over the river). It may be worth getting a Leap card, which is a pre-paid card that will cost you €8.00 for 1 day, €16.00 for 3 days or €32.00 for 7 days that gives you unlimited travel on Dublin City bus services.

Taxi
Taxi ranks are stationed all over Dublin. You’ve got the rank just outside of Dublin airport, as well as taxi desks within the Arrivals lounge, and even more in the centre of the city – Grafton Street, Temple Bar etc. You’ll also come across taxis cruising the streets, and if they have their lights on – flag them down as they’re available. If the lights are off, it’s time to move onto the next cab… Taxis are cheap in the centre and, as everything is so close, you’re not looking at a large fare from Harcourt to Temple Bar. Along the way, you’ll also pass the odd tuk tuk if you’re looking for a new form of travel.

Tram
The tram, or Luas as it’s known in Dublin, is the hugely popular light rail system in the centre – handling an average of 34 million passengers yearly. The system has 54 stations - over 36.5 kilometres of track – spread over two lines. The Green Line covers the entire south side of Dublin, following the old Harcourt Street railway line and heading into the centre – St Stephen’s Green is also on this line. The Red Line runs east-west through the north side of Dublin, crossing the River Liffey, and travels southwest. The two lines are also a 15 minute walk from each other, should you end up on the wrong one after visiting The Temple Bar. Tickets for Luas (the Irish word for ‘speed’) can be purchased at street side vending machines, with a seven day ticket covering eight zones at just €22.40.
