Function Rooms for Hire in Dublin

Your Guide to Hiring Function Rooms in Dublin

Are you looking to host a private party, birthday, engagement, or just in the mood for celebration? Dublin offers venues with a lively atmosphere and a variety of options, whether you're planning a grand event or a more low-key gathering. You can find function rooms for hire at many of the city's fantastic restaurants, hotels, halls, and pubs, giving you plenty of choices right from the start of your search.

Hire a Private Room for Your Event

Are you looking for a room in a pub or a club? The high group energy of these venues is excellent when you're looking for a real knees-up. Many of these venues will have private event rooms for hire for special events. Check out bars with private rooms near Temple Bar if you are looking to host a high-energy, younger crowd. You can also head to the Liberties district and the city's oldest pub, The Brazen Head, which dates back to 1198. Larger pubs, like The Stag's Head in Dame Court, may often even have several rooms on offer. Many of these venues will let you have the function room upon reservation and with only a minimum spend. Always check with the venue first, however!

Hiring a Large Function Room in Dublin

If you need a function room for a larger group, hotels and community halls offer higher capacity rooms throughout the city. Thomas Prior Hall in Ballsbridge, for example, is a historic building that has been repurposed as a private space for large group events. For bigger events such as a wedding or conference, this type of location would be ideal. The Urban Brewing Vaults at Urban Brewing in The Dublin Docklands is another great choice if you need to host a large event and are looking to enjoy the ambience of a building that dates back to the early 1800s. These types of event venues are great for major gatherings, not least because their bespoke packages offer the opportunity to avoid separate costs for catering or set up.

Don't worry if you'd prefer to take your private party out to dine – Dublin's restaurant scene is legendary. Many restaurants and hotels in Dublin have dining rooms ready to accommodate a complete fine dining experience. Depending on the size of the restaurant, these private spaces can hold around 6 to 30 standing guests. These event spaces are excellent not only for celebratory meals, but also for receptions or other official events!

How far ahead I hire a function room for my event in Dublin?

We recommend hiring a function room in Dublin around 3-4 months in advance. This will give you enough time to find the right function hall, make arrangements with catering or event planners, and ensure availability on your preferred date. However, if you are planning a large gala or Christmas party, you should make your booking even earlier. It's always best to start your search early and book a function room as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

How can I hire a function room in Dublin on a budget?

There are several things you can do to hire a function room on a budget. Firstly, research multiple private rooms for events in Dublin and compare their rates, services, and amenities to find the best deal. With Tagvenue, that will be easy! Next, you can choose an off-peak date when hire rates might be lower. Select a venue of the proper size. Don’t pay for a too-large space you won’t be using, but of course, make sure your guests are comfortable. Don't be afraid to negotiate with the venue and ask for a better rate or additional perks, such as complimentary room rental or discounted catering. You can also ask for special rates, as many venues offer discounts and event packages when the hire market is slow. Finding a cheap function room in Dublin isn't difficult if you're willing to spend some time looking for the right option!
