Dublin Hen Do's

Planning to go out in Dublin and you will immediately think of Temple Bar, for those of you who don’t know this is the main tourist area of Dublin and is packed with traditional Irish bars and places to eat. However, you can expect to pay a lot more for a pint here than anywhere else.

The Elephant and Castle situated in the Temple Bar area is renowned for their chicken wings and there’s also the actual Temple Bar Pub which is definitely worth a visit for the gram if nothing else. Outside of this area, there are many more traditional pubs with live music.

For clubbing try Copper Face Jacks, where cheesy tunes are played all night long into the wee small hours. There are multiple floors and even a hotel attached to this venue. The Workman’s Club is said to feel more like a house party than a nightclub with its vintage wallpaper.

There’s a large bar and stage where regular live music occurs and DJs perform, you will also find some alternative rock nights. Pygmalion boasts one of the best beer gardens in the city, this place is always packed to the rafters with the cool kids frequenting.

Xico is a Mexican themed club where the margaritas are spot on. There’s regular live music, including a band that blends saxophone, drums and live scratching. The underground club spans three floors and plays feel-good tunes all night. One of the best places to let loose in the city! The George is Dublin’s most iconic LGBTQ venue playing regular host to drag nights and karaoke, although check with the door staff and some queer venues prefer not to have large groups.
