FAQs about Private Bars in Dublin
Which areas of Dublin are best for private bar hire?
The majority of Dublin’s drinking dens for hire are situated on the Southside. For a well-frequented and buzzing area, we cannot recommend Temple Bar enough. It’s the ultimate nightlife hub in Dublin, hosting a great variety of private and semi-private bars. The vibrant and lively Camden Street functions as the city’s main strip, with plenty of pubs, clubs, and bars. If you want to leave the strict city centre but still stay within easy access to it, Portobello is a great area for you! The neighbourhood is filled with brilliant private bars where you can eat, drink, and party, all within walking distance to Camden Street.
How much does it cost to hire a private bar in Dublin?
Private bars in Dublin are priced in a few different ways. There are many spots that charge you hire fees for using the space, while the food and drinks need to be purchased separately. These rates begin at around €100 per session or per day and can reach even over €1,500. Event packages are a popular choice for all kinds of special occasions, both private and corporate, and are usually priced within the €30-€60 per person range.

The city offers everything from trendy cocktail bars and relaxed pubs all the way to hidden speakeasies and activity bars with Irish pool tables or darts, and they can host a range of special occasions!
