James Joyce once said, “When I die, Dublin will be written in my heart.” But if he ever partied in Temple Bar on a Saturday night, he might’ve added “and a bit of glitter too.” If you’re searching for party bars in Dublin, you’re in exactly the right spot — we’ve got the city’s best lined up and ready to book. Grab pints at retro-style haunts, sip cocktails with a rooftop view near Grafton Street, or rent out a private space in a moody Georgian basement just off Camden. Scroll down to find and book the perfect party bar in Dublin today.
Dublin City Centre is by far the most popular area for party bars, with dozens of venues offering both small and large-scale options. Temple Bar is also a key destination with its lively atmosphere and tourist appeal. Here, you can find high-capacity venues like Buskers On The Ball. For something a little different, the South-East Inner City and South-West Inner City have well-reviewed bars and distilleries like BrewDog Outpost and Stillgarden Distillery, which can host both private events and experiential gatherings.
Smaller spaces start at around €200 to €500 per session with a fixed hire fee, while other venues can require a minimum spend from €1,000 up to €15,200 for exclusive full-day use, depending on the venue size and location. Spaces with event packages are also common, ranging from €20 to €52 per person. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Most hire fees include exclusive use of the space, bar staff, basic AV equipment, and seating. Many venues, especially those with a minimum spend or per-person model, also provide tailored food and drink packages. For example, venues like 9 Below or The Glasshouse Bar often include cocktail service or bespoke menus in their rates, while larger venues offer full bar access and custom event support.
