Nothing gets people in Ireland as excited as a bonus day off and a decent night out.
Halloween weekend is well underway, you've got an extra lie-in ahead and it's time to celebrate in style.
So, we thought we'd put together a list of the very best places to head this weekend to find that unique party atmosphere.
Round up your mates and head to one of the following...
1. The Back Page
Great place for watching sport during the day and keeping the session going into the evening.
2. McGowan's
One of the best known places to party in Dublin. The good thing about this place is that no matter how hard you've been going all weekend, there's always somebody in a worse state than you.
3. Grand Social
A Mecca for music lovers. Great tunes, booze flowing and a late finish makes it a must visit.
4. Sophie's
One for the classier bunch, those of you who like to sip cocktails, get all dressed up and party until late.
5. The Jar
Lovely craft beers, pizza and a terrace upstairs for smoking. Great place to spend the entire evening safe in the knowledge that tomorrow is a day off.
6. The Shaw
Much like a music festival, but within the confines of a courtyard. Sip on beers knowing everybody with you is on the same buzz.
7. The Marker Terrace
Head here well before the sun sets and enjoy one of the best views in Dublin while drinking amazing cocktails and enjoying life.
8. Pygmalion
Amazing cocktails and a real party atmosphere make it the perfect Sunday night spot. Perfect for a rollover as well.
9. Dice Bar
So cool without even trying to be. Hang out with all the hip young 'uns in the city and enjoy the buzz post-festival.
We’re in the final countdown. Yes, we have speculated whether this 20 year old trend is slowly dying, perhaps evident by the fact there aren’t more cafés whipping up pumpkin spice and everything nice on this list, but basic as it may be, it’s a celebration of autumn in my eyes, and I can’t help but […]
Dublin is glutted with literary magazines. They’re ten a penny; if today’s penny is actually €15 each. In 2017 Justine Carbery wrote in The Irish Independent “literary journals proved to be constant stars in a fluctuating market. Ireland, with its rich history of independent literary magazines, finds itself in rude health today with many new […]

From refreshing newbs to reliable classics Despite the increasingly adverse trading conditions for service in Dublin, we’ve never had such strong restaurant offerings. Not even at the peak of the Celtic Tiger did we have such a plethora of passionate food creatives doing bits and making waves. So to help you navigate the best of […]

(and Always) It’s never been more vital to support Queer-Owned Spaces in Dublin. Put your money where your morals are as often as you can. As someone who has worked in hospitality, I know that the people who run our bars, restaurants, and cafés shape the atmosphere more than the decor or the playlist ever […]
No More Paddywhackery: On July 24th in New Orleans, Irish House Will Showcase a New Era of Irish Hospitality and Innovation If you’re Irish, you know that home is a complicated place. You’ll also know there’s a specific kind of awkwardness you feel walking into an Irish bar abroad. It’s an itch of embarrassment you […]

Well don’t worry sun worshipper, we’re here to […]
