Dublin offers a wide variety of venues for book launches, including boutique hotels, distilleries, cultural venues, and stylish bars. If you’re looking for a professional setting, hotels like The Alex Hotel and Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge provide elegant conference rooms. For a more casual or trendy book launch, bars such as 37 Dawson Street or BrewDog Outpost Dublin are great choices.
